Magnetic Nanofluids in Ultrasonic Testing
Sokolov V.V., Osipov M.I., Moscow State University of Instrument Engineering and Computer Science, RU
The use of the magnetic nanofluid as the bonding medium find an ever increasing application in ultrasonic non-destructive testing method. A thin layer of magnetic nanofluid which is adhered on the transducers face with a [...]
Linseed oil miniemulsions stabilized by polyelectrolyte complex (gum arabic-chitosan)
Michel-Barba M.G., Espinosa-Andrews H., Centro de Investigación y Asistencia en Tecnología y Diseño del Estado de Jalisco, a.C., MX
An linseed oil miniemulsion was optimized using the microfludization process and finally stabilized by polyelectrolyte complexes formation. Emulsion preparation variables such as gum arabic/oil mass ratio (GA/O), oil volume fraction (), homogenization pressure and number [...]
Polymer Gels: Fracture, Friction, Healing and Superabsorbency
Polymer gels have many industrial uses, from drug-delivery and wound-healing materials to the superabsorbent gels used in baby diapers as well as high-performance concrete. The macro-scale physical properties of the polymer gels, including the gel’s [...]
Simulation of the suspension structure for the improve of colloidal processes
Colloidal processes are used in many fields of applications to produce multi-material components with specific microstructures. Here, controlling the structure of colloidal suspensions is crucial in order to reliably adapt the suspension rheology to the [...]
SRD-MD modelling of hydrodynamic interactions in colloidal systems: playing between computational cost and resolution
Laganapan A.M.K., Videcoq A., Cerbelaud M., Mouas M., Bienia M., Ferrando R., Science of Ceramic Processing and Surface Treatments (SPCTS), FR
A ubiquitous problem that has always been a subject of intensive research is the role played by hydrodynamic interactions (HI’s) in several fundamental problems in colloid rheology and aggregation kinetics. However, the high computational demand [...]
New Insights into Microstructure, Rheology & Molecular Level Structural Changes During Self-Assembly & Gelation in Complex Fluids Through Combined DLS-Optical Microrheology-Raman Spectroscopy
Soft Matter/Complex fluid systems are ubiquitous across a range of industrial and consumer sectors. In many instances the final product format of these complex fluids are gels or soft solids and the processing and product [...]
Non-destructive imaging analysis of unstable foam structures using 3D computed tomography
Eggert A., Müller M., Nachtrab F., Dombrowski J., Rack A., Zabler S., Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Systems IIS, DE
In this contribution a laboratory CT setup is presented allowing the acquisition of 3D data sets in less than 15 s. The suitability and possibilities of such a system for unstable foams and other porous [...]
Preparation of ion group functionalized diblock copolymers and examination of their thermogelling properties
Lee B.K., Kwon D.Y., Kwon J.S., Park J.H., Kwon D.Y., Kwon J.S., Kim J.H., Kim M.S., Oh S.H., Kim J.H., Kim M.S., Ajou University, KR
To investigate thermogelling behavior, in this study, methoxy polyethylene glycol-b-[poly(ε-caprolactone)-ran-poly(6-chloride-ε-caprolactone) (PCL-ran-PfCL)] (PCL-Cl) diblock copolymers were designed such that the PfCL content in the PCL segment was varied. The PCL-Cl diblock copolymers were derivatized by introducing [...]
