The constant rotational rheological behaviors of PAN/DMSO solutions with two kinds of nonsolvent (water and ethanol) have been investigated, respectively, using a cone‐plate rheometer. From viscosity measurements, the flow behavior was described within the shear rate range 0.1–1000 s −1 . The PAN solutions show shear thinning at high shear rates. The viscosities of the solutions decreased with the rising of the temperature at low shear rate. H 2 O content has great influence on the viscosity of the solutions, depending on the hydration of H 2 O and PAN or desolvent effect, according to different H 2 O content. The role of ethanol compared with H 2 O was also researched and higher viscosity was found. Non‐Newtonian index, structural viscosity index Δη, and flow activation energy of the PAN/DMSO/H 2 O systems were also studied. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009
