Gelatin/1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride solutions are prepared by using the ionic liquid 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride as solvent. The rheological properties of the gelatin solutions have been investigated by steady shear and oscillatory shear measurements. In the steady shear measurements, the gelatin solutions with high concentration show a shear-thinning flow behavior at high shear rates, while another shear thinning region can be found in the dilute gelatin solutions at low shear rates. The overlap concentration of gelatin in [amim]Cl is 1.0 wt% and the entanglement concentration is a factor of 4 larger (4.0 wt%). The high intrinsic viscosity (295 mL/g) indicates that the gelatin chains dispersed freely in the ionic liquid and no aggregation phenomenon occurs in dilute gelatin solution. The frequency dependences of modulus changed obviously with an increase in gelatin concentration. The empirical time-temperature superposition principle holds true at the experimental temperatures.
