At low shearing rate range (ln [[??].sub.m] < 5), the ln [[eta].sub.a] of various nanocomposites are nearly unchanged with increasing shearing rate, belonging to the Newtonian fluid; while at high shearing rate range (ln [[??].sub.m] > 5), the ln [[eta].sub.a] of various nanocomposites decreases sharply with increasing shearing rate, belonging to the pseudoplastic fluid, due to the disentanglements between the molecular chains or between the molecular chains and nanoparticles.
