The aim. Study of the interaction of surfactants with poloxamer 338 (P338) and the effect of P338 on the properties of cream bases. Materials and methods. Solutions of the surfactants and P338 as well as cream bases were under study. The average hydrodynamic diameter (Dh) and zeta potential (ζ‑potential) were determined by the light scattering intensity and electrophoretic mobility of micelles. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of spin probes in micelles, solvents and bases were obtained; the type of spectrum, isotropic constant (AN), rotational correlation times (τ) and anisotropy parameter (ε) were determined. Liquids and cream bases were studied by capillary and rotational viscometry; the flow behaviour and yield stress (t0), dynamic and apparent viscosity (η) as well as the hysteresis (thixotropic) area (AH) were determined. The microstructure of the bases was examined by optical microscopy. The strength of adhesion (Sm) was assessed by the pull-off test, and the absorption of water was studied by dialysis. Results. Under the impact of P338 the hydrodynamic diameters of micelles formed by cationic, anionic and nonionic surfactants decreased as well as the absolute values of their ζ‑potential became lower, but the microviscosity of the micelle nuclei increased. There was also a change in the structure of the aggregates of surfactant with fatty alcohols; EPR spectra, which were superpositions characteristic for the lateral phase separation, converted into triplets that indicated the uniform distribution of lipophilic probes in the surfactant phase. When the content of P338 increased to 17 %, the rheological parameters of the bases increased drastically, the flow behaviour and the microstructure changed. The bases had the consistency of cream within temperature range from 25 °C to 70 °C and completely restored their apparent viscosity, which had decreased under shear stress. P338 enhances the adhesive properties of the bases. Due to their microstructure, cream bases have a lower ability to absorb water compared to a solution and gel containing 17 % and 20 % P338, respectively. Conclusions. The structure of surfactant micelles and aggregates of surfactants with fatty alcohols changed under impact of P338 due to the interaction of surfactants with P338. As a result of this interaction, at a sufficiently high concentration of P338, the microstructure and flow behaviour of bases changed, their rheological parameters, which remain high at temperatures from 25 °C to 70 °C, increased significantly, and water absorption parameters decreased. The bases with P338 were more adhesive

The Impact

Self-Compacting High Performance Concrete (SCHPC) presents a crucial step in the development of concrete technology. The most important features of self-consolidating concrete are flowability, segregation resistance and passing ability. Generally, the rheological properties are modified by effective superplasticisers and water to binder ratio. The aim of this study is to focus on the important aspect of the impact of shape of the coarse aggregate on fresh concrete mixture properties, strength and deformability of SCHPC. Coarse aggregate is a significant proportion of the concrete volume and therefore has a meaningful influence on its quality. By appropriate selection of the shape of the grain aggregate, it is possible to affect the rheological parameters of concrete. The results presented in this study indicated that the shape of the grains of coarse aggregate has an impact on the strength and stiffness of SCHPC. Moreover, the occurrence of irregular grains of coarse aggregate causes lower slump flow and higher plastic viscosity in comparison to concrete mixtures with regular grains only. The research presented in this article is part of the author's wider research devoted to this issue.

Abstract In deepwater drilling, the rheology of traditional drilling fluid is uncontrollable since the fluid usually mixes with brine and encounters low temperature. A solution may be to use the newly designed brine-based fuzzy-ball drilling fluids (BFDFs) since these have a well-adapted rheology under high salinity and low temperature condition. This has the potential to make drilling safer and more efficient. In this experiment, the rheological properties of BFDFs under test conditions were characterized with a rheometer by varying salinity (2 to 20 mass%) and temperature (4 to 80 °C). The rheological parameters considered are apparent viscosity (AV), plastic viscosity (PV), yield point (YP), and θ6 reading. To characterize the magnitudes of changes of the rheological parameters and their low temperature dependence, their ratios at 4 and 25 °C, and 4 and 80 °C were calculated. The results showed that the apparent viscosity (AV), the plastic viscosity (PV), the yield point (YP), and θ6 reading of BFDFs increased slightly with the decrease of salinity and temperature. The ratios of rheological parameters at 4 and 25 °C were close to unity, while the ratios at 4 and 80 °C were about two. The flow behavior of BFDFs under high salinity and low temperature condition was stable. Therefore, brine could be used as the base fluid for BFDFs. Theoretically, the flow behavior of BFDFs under low temperature condition seems to follow the Herschel-Bulkley model. Practically, the tests indicated that the BFDFs possess a strong tolerance to sandstone cuttings and Cabentonite, an excellent inhibitive property to shaly cuttings, weak corrosive characteristics against N80 casing steel, excellent lubricity properties, and remarkable biodegradability. In summary, the empirical results showed that the newly designed fuzzy-ball working fluid can use brine instead of fresh water as based fluid and maintain remarkable properties under high salinity and low temperature condition. Properties of BFDFs could basically satisfy the requirement of deepwater drilling work.

The process of coagulation and precipitation affect the fate and mobility of antimony (Sb) species in drinking water. Moreover, the solubility and physico-chemical properties of the precipitates may be affected by the media chemistry. Accordingly, the present study aimed to investigate the removal of Sb(III, V) species by ferric chloride coagulation under various water chemistry influences with a particular focus on the role of the properties of the precipitates. The results indicated that the amount of Sb(III) removed increased with increasing solution pH, showing the insignificant effects of the hydrodynamic diameter (HDD) and ζ-potential of the precipitates. However, no Sb(V) removal occurred at alkaline pH values, while a highly negative ζ-potential and the complete dissolution of precipitates were observed in the aqueous solution. The solution pH was also useful in determining the dominant coagulation mechanisms, such as co-precipitation and adsorption. The Fe solubility substantially affects the Sb removal at a certain pH range, while the HDD of the precipitates plays an insignificant role in Sb removal. The presence of divalent cations brings the ζ-potential of the precipitates close to point of zero charge (pzc), thus enhancing the Sb(V) removal at alkaline pH conditions. Pronounced adverse effects of humic acid were observed on Sb removal, ζ-potential and HDD of the precipitates. In general, this study may provide critical information to a wide group of researchers dealing with environmental protection from heavy metal pollution.

Estudou-se o comportamento reológico de extratos elaborados com grãos, farinha integral e isolado protéico de soja. Extratos com 3% de proteína foram obtidos de grãos de soja (em equipamento conhecido como “vaca mecânica”), de farinha integral e de isolado protéico (por dissolução em água) e pasteurizados a 74±2°C por 15 seg. Os parâmetros reológicos estudados foram o coeficiente de consistência, o índice de comportamento do fluxo e a viscosidade aparente. Foram determinados, também, sólidos totais, proteínas, lipídios, cinzas, fibra bruta, carboidratos e índice de sedimentação (AOAC, 1995). Verificou-se que a viscosidade aparente, a 4 e 25°C, do extrato obtido de grãos de soja (fluido nãonewtoniano com comportamento pseudoplástico) foi maior que a do extrato da farinha (fluido não-newtoniano com comportamento pseudoplástico a 4°C e dilatante a 25°C) e do isolado (fluido newtoniano). O maior índice de sedimentação constatado no extrato de farinha integral e o baixo teor de sólidos solúveis no isolado protéico foram determinantes, entre outros fatores, no comportamento reológico verificado. AbstractRHEOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR OF SOYMILK, WHOLE SOY FLOUR AND SOY ISOLATED PROTEIN The rheological properties of extracts elaborated with soybeans, whole soy flour and isolated protein were studied. Extracts with 3% of protein were obtained from soybeans (in a equipment called “mechanic cow”), whole soy flour and isolated soy protein (by dissolution in water) and pasteurized at 74±2°C for 15 seg. The rheological parameters studied were the flow behavior index, consistency coefficient and apparent viscosity. Total solid, proteins, lipids, ashes, brute fiber, carbohydrates and sedimentation index (AOAC, 1995) was also determined. The apparent viscosity, at 4 and 25°C, of the extract obtained from soybeans (non-newtonian fluid with pseudoplastic behavior), was greater than the one of whole soy flour extract (nonnewtonian fluid with pseudoplastic behavior at 4°C and dilatant at 25°C) and of the isolated soy protein extract (Newtonian fluid). The highest sedimentation index verified in the whole soy flour extract and the low content of soluble solids in the extract of isolated soy protein defined, among others factors, the rheological behavior verified.

In this study, we analysed the physico-chemical properties of positively charged magnetic fluids consisting of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) functionalised by different amino acids (AAs): glycine (Gly), lysine (Lys) and tryptophan (Trp), and the influence of AA–MNP complexes on the MRI relaxivity. We found that the AA coating affects the size of dispersed particles and isoelectric point, as well as the zeta potential of AA–MNPs differently, depending on the AA selected. Moreover, we showed that a change in hydrodynamic diameter results in a change to the relaxivity of AA–MNP complexes. On the one hand, we observed a decrease in the relaxivity values, r1 and r2, with an increase in hydrodynamic diameter (the relaxivity of r1 and r2 were comparable with commercially available contrast agents); on the other hand, we observed an increase in r2* value with an increase in hydrodynamic size. These findings provide an interesting preliminary look at the impact of AA coating on the relaxivity properties of AA–MNP complexes, with a specific application in molecular contrast imaging originating from magnetic nanoparticles and magnetic resonance techniques.

The Magnetic Field

The apparent viscosity of magnetorheological (MR) fluids changes in the presence of a magnetic field. The stronger the magnetic field applied, the more the apparent viscosity increases. An increase in the apparent viscosity increases the restriction on the flow of MR fluids. In this study, we perform a qualitative analysis to investigate the effect of a magnetic field on MR fluids under an impact load. An experimental apparatus that consists of a drop-test tower was developed to simulate the impact load, and an MR fluid in a U-pipe was subjected to the impact load via a piston rod. In the experiment, we measured the displacement and velocity of the piston rod. On the basis of the results, the influence of a given magnetic field on the behavior of MR fluids under an impact load is discussed.

The Fractional derivative rheological model and the linear viscoelastic behavior of hydrocolloids This study was aimed at evaluating the possibility to use the Friedrich-Braun fractional derivative rheological model to assess the viscoelastic properties of xanthan gum with rice starch and sweet potato starch. The Friedrich-Braun fractional derivative rheological model allows to describe viscoelastic properties comprehensively, starting from the behaviour characteristic of purely viscous fluids to the behaviour corresponding to elastic solids. The Friedrich-Braun fractional derivative rheological model has one more virtue which distinguishes it from other models, it allows to determine the relationship between stress and strain and the impact of each of them on viscoelastic properties on the tested material. An analysis of the data described using the Friedrich-Braun fractional derivative rheological model allows to state that all the tested mixtures of starch with xanthan gum form macromolecular gels exhibiting behaviour typical of viscoelastic quasi-solid bodies. The Friedrich-Braun fractional derivative rheological model and 8 rheological parameters of this model allow to determine changes in the structure of the examined starch - xanthan gum mixtures. Similarly important is the possibility to find out the trend and changes going on in this structure as well as their causes.

Abstract The creep test under the static loading, that allows to determine rheological properties of asphalt based on the creep curve, is the most effective test nowadays. Applied loads are non-destructive and allow to observe the course of the strain after the test load. The test can be carried out on compressing, shearing, bending as well as on triaxial test, that depends on the applied apparatus implementing different intensity [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Based on the creep test, the stress of different properties can be specified. Among them there are valuable rheological properties based on selected viscoelascity models [1]. The properties of the viscoelascity models are relevant indexes depicting resistance to deformation. They can be used to forecast the wheel-truck in the accepted rheological model [1]. In this article it is shown the impact of different rheological properties of the viscoelacity model on the wheel-truck as well as the impact of different properties on shape and the course of the creep curve. The asphalt mixtures presented in this article are characterized by variable rheological properties. It is therefore difficult to determine which property mostly affects the size of the strain. However, the authors of this article attempted to analyse the change of the asphalt strain value of the different variables in particular rheological model, called Bürgers’s model.

Rheological properties of blend spinning solution of sodium alginate and TiO2 nanoparticles (SA/nano-TiO2) were investigated. The rheological parameters, structural viscosity index (Δη) and flow activation energy (Eη) of spinning solutions were calculated. The results reported that the blend spinning solutions were non-newtonian fluids. The apparent viscosity, consistency index (k) and Eη increased with increasing nano-TiO2 content in SA spinning solution, but the degradation degree of apparent viscosity decreased, flow behavior index (n) only slightly decreased and the Δη had no significantly change. The apparent viscosity (ηa) of spinning solutions could be regulated by changing temperature under 50oC. Blend spinning solution had good stability and practical applicability.

Rheological parameters of Butia pulp were determined at different temperatures using a concentric cylinder Haake Rotovisco rheometer, model RV-20, with measurement system ZA-30. Butia pulp was found to exhibit non-Newtonian, pseudoplastic behavior at all temperatures and the rheological parameters were adequately described by the Herschel-Bulkley model. Yield stress, flow behavior index, and consistency coefficient were significantly affected by temperature. The yield stress decreased exponentially with process temperature and ranged between 36.60 and 21.70 Pa. Apparent viscosity calculated through the Herschel-Bulkley model decreased with an increase in temperature. The Arrhenius model gave a good description of temperature effect on apparent viscosity of the pulp.
