Ice639: differential stack, 2% MPCH mix vs. pure ice I
  Top half: ice I (as 180-250 mu seed ice) + 2% by vol MPCH
  Bottom piece: pure ice I (as 180-250 mu seed ice)
  Cold press 1hr at 150 MPa, 190 K
   
T = 190 K, P = 50 MPa, s = 15 mV (20-25 MPa) step (1)
T = 190 K, P = 50 MPa, s = 16.5 mV (20-25 MPa) step (2)
T = 190 K, P = 50 MPa, s = 15 mV (20-25 MPa) step (3)

run summary

master plot, MPCH runs 603-639

 

Final results: Relative viscosities of top piece vs bottom piece

step (1) (2) (3) all steps
2% MPCH (top) 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0
ice I (bot) 1.04 ± 0.14 1.16 ± 0.15 1.15 ± 0.07 1.16 ± 0.04
Results based on measurements of length and diameter change during deformation steps. Relative viscosity of top piece redefined as 1.0 in each column.
