Large-amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) experiments were conducted at different temperatures on a molten low-density polyethylene standard, designated IUPAC LDPE X. Jeyaseelan et al. (1993) have successfully employed a simplification of transient network theory to describe the LAOS behavior of this polymer melt, at 150°C. The transient network is described by two kinetic rate constants, one for the formation of entanglements due to Brownian motion (k1), and another for the destruction of entanglements (k2) due to the imposed deformation. Upon comparison of the predictions of this transient network theory with the measured LAOS behavior of this polymer, we find that the kinetic rate constants k1 and k2 are invariant in the range of temperatures examined (150 to 190°C). The temperature dependence of departures from linear viscoelasticity is fully accounted for in the equilibrium entanglement kinetics.

Aflatoxins (AF) are naturally occurring mycotoxins, produced by many species of Aspergillus. Among aflatoxins, Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is one of the most frequent and dangerous for human health. The acceptable maximum level of AFM1 in milk according to EU regulation is 50 ppt, equivalent to 152 pM, and 25 ppt, equivalent to 76 pM, for adults and infants, respectively. Here, we study a photonic biosensor based on Si 3 N 4 asymmetric Mach–Zehnder Interferometers (aMZI) functionalized with Fab’ for AFM1 detection in milk samples (eluates). The minimum concentration of AFM1 detected by our aMZI sensors is 48 pM (16.8 pg/mL) in purified and concentrated milk samples. Moreover, the real-time detection of the ligand-analyte binding enables the study of the kinetics of the reaction. We measured the kinetic rate constants of the Fab’-AFM1 interaction.
