Popis: The rheological properties of a carboxylic curdlan bearing a β-1,3-polyglucuronic acid structure were investigated as a function of concentration and temperature. Carboxylic curdlan solutions exhibited shear thinning behavior that became more evident with increasing concentration. This behavior was further described by a consistent index (k) and a flow behavior index (n) based on the power law model. Activation energy (Ea) decreased with increasing concentration, as calculated by the Arrhenius rule. The mechanical spectra of carboxylic curdlan were classified as dilute solution (
