The effect of dihydric alcohol (nonsolvent) addition on the rheological and microstructural behavior of cellulose acetate (CA) in a ternary CA, N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), nonsolvent system was investigated. Increasing the dihydric alcohol concentration led to enhanced steady shear viscosity and dynamic viscoelastic properties that were dependent on CA concentration. Changing the dihydric alcohol from 1,2-ethanediol to 1,4-butanediol and 1,6-hexanediol increased the moduli and decreased the concentration of nonsolvent at which the sol-gel transition occurred. At 10 wt % CA concentration the modulus and gel morphology of the 1,2-ethanediol and 1,4-butanediol systems were quite similar and distinctly different from that of 1,6-hexanediol. In the former, the gel morphologies were more heterogeneous, evident of more extensive coarsening, and likely obtained via nucleation and growth and spinoidal decomposition of off-critical mixtures. The latter exhibited more uniform dense network morphology, indicative of a spinoidal decomposition of near-critical mixtures. The gels were fractal in nature and exhibited different fractal dimensions in-line with the observed differences in microstructure; D similar to 1.87 +/- 0.02 (1,2-ethanediol and 1,4-butanediol) and D similar to 1.97 +/- 0.02 (1,6-hexanediol). However, at 15 wt % CA content, the gels exhibited more similar viscoelastic behavior and gel microstructures; D similar to 1.97 +/- 0.02 for all three dihydric alcohol systems.
