THE STUDY OF THE RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF THE THICKENING POLYMER COMPOSITIONS AND INK-BASE PRINTING
Abstract: The article describes the research results about the dependence of the viscosity of the concentration system of bentonite and it was found that bentonite K-4: HAE = 1 : 0.05 : 0.2 provides stable structures with the required dynamic viscosity in case of having optimal components. The influence of the concentration of the alkaline agent and the holdup time of the active dyes on the degree of fixation was revealed during the research. Along with this it was found that the degree of fixation of active dyes when printing using a thickener has not been reduced and in contrast it was higher by 10-25% than when using existing thickeners. The structural-mechanical and rheological properties of the developed polymer systems were carefully studied and revealed a deeper penetration of printing inks into the fabric, compared with printed inks thickened with sodium alginate.
Keywords: Viscosity, concentration, bentonite, degree of fixation, thickener, component, packing, porosity, polymer composition, rheological properties.

bentonite(C) was studied. It was found that the ratio: bentonite: K-4: HAE = 1: 0.05: 0.2, which is
most low-concentrated systems with the necessary clearly visible from (Fig. 1).

The main task with the use of active dyes is to ensure the highest possible degree ofdye fixation. The implementation of the produced low concentrated clots, especially on the basis ofbentonite, K-4 and HAE, create favorable conditions for this: first, by eliminating the side reaction of the dye with the polymer; secondly, due to a very permeable and thin film of printing ink, providing a more complete exit of the dye from it.
However, the noted positive factors may not be so significant if the optimal alkalinity of the ink is not ensured during its preparation, storage and in conditions of dye fixation. Due to the fact that the hydrogen index of the developed gelatinous and porous thickeners has a value of 10.0 ± 5, studies have been carried out to determine the effect of the concentration of the alkaline agent in the printing ink on the degree of dye fixation (DDF). The corresponding data for the dye is given in turquoise 4KP in (Fig. 2). from which it can be seen that when using the produced porous thickener, the concentration of sodium hydrogencarbonate should be about 15 g/kg. Similar dependences were obtained for other dyes as well.
When the ink is stored with a sufficiently high alkalinity (pH = 10), hydrolysis of the active dye can occur. In order to detect the effect of the storage time of the printing ink on the degree of hydrolysis of the active dye, one printing ink was used for printing immediately after its preparation and after 1, 2 and 24 hours.
It was found that the degree of fixation of active dyes during printing with the use of the developed bunch as a freshly prepared substance and after keeping it for a day did not decrease and but in the contrary it was by 10-25% higher than when using sodium alginate (Fig. 3), which can show the absence ofhydro-lysis. In addition, it should be noted that printing with a paint kept for an hour, provided a rise in the intensity of color. Presumably, this can be caused by the partial settling of bentonite included in the composition.
Next, we studied the dependence of the yield point of a thickener and ink, the degree of fixation of the dye by the fabric after printing, and the relative intensity of the color from the ratio of the constituent components of the thickening printing ink.

Figure 4 shows a smooth course and the absence of minima on the yield strength (Pm) curves and the composition of the mixture, which indicates that the components of the thickening systems are well compatible, regardless of their ratio in the mixture (curve 2) and regardless of the additives of the ink components (curve 3). The presence of good compatibility is also confirmed by the high stability and uniformity of the mixtures obtained.
A smooth transition is also observed on the curves of the change in the colouristic indices of the printing of the composition substances shown
the active turquoise 4KP from the holdup time in (Figures 5 and 6). From these graphs it can be observed that compositional thickenings, promoting a higher degree of fixation (Figure 5, curve 1), provide a lower color intensity.
It is of no less importance that the study of the structural-mechanical and rheological properties ofthe composition based on the synthesized oligomer in order to assess the possibility of its use in printing tissue.
The results obtained indicate a deeper penetration of printing inks thickened by the polymer composition into the interior of the tissue, compared to printing inks thickened with sodium alginate.

It can be seen from Figures 5 and 6 that the relative content of bentonite, K-4 and HAE in the substance increases, the depth of penetration into the tissue and the degree of fixation of the dye increase. The addition of bentonite to the printed composite blobs promotes the production of sharper printing loops. Finally, the mixtures of bentonite-K-4-HAE and printing inks in question show an improvement in the rheological
properties evaluated by the shape of the rheological curve.
Thus, it has been found that polymer compositions based on rice starch, bentonite-K-4-HAE, can be successfully applied as thickeners of paints for printing fabrics by compositions that helps to reduce the breakage, and also increases the degree of fixation of printing ink as compared to printing inks, thickened with sodium alginate.
