This paper presents the effect of polymer on the rheological properties of triglyceride microemulsions. Non-Newtonian shear thinning behavior of triglyceride microemulsions has been modeled satisfactorily using a power law. It was observed that the effects of surfactant and cosurfactant concentratio...
