A physical modeling of rheological objects is presented. Objects showing rheological nature involve foods and biological tissues yet no systematic approach to build their virtual objects is not established. In this article, we will construct 2D/3D virtual rheological objects.

The authors have previously designed, developed, and characterized a novel microencapsulated formulation as a platform for the targeted delivery of therapeutics in an animal model of type 2 diabetes, using the drug probucol (PB). The aim of this study was to optimize PB microcapsules by incorporating the bile acid deoxycholic acid (DCA), which has good permeation-enhancing properties, and to ex...

The flow characteristics of raw sewage directly affect the technical and economic performance of sewage-source heat pump systems. The purpose of this research is to characterize the flow characteristics of sewage by experimental means. A sophisticated and flexible experimental apparatus was designed and constructed. Then the flow characteristics of the raw sewage were studied through laboratori...

The foam sclerotherapy is a popular and highly effective method of varicose disease treatment allowing to obtain a positive result in more than 80% of cases. The foams characteristics depend on the kind of sclerosant, its concentration, a type of gas, gas/liquid ratio, and the technique of foam preparation. The present investigation, was carried out to assess the influence of temperature on the...

Indian high-ash coal contains alpha-silica components of the mineral matter. When coal is transported in the form of a slurry, alpha-silica adds to the settling properties of coal and enhances erosion of pipelines. As such any technique that will contribute to changing the characteristics of mineral matter by selective demineralization is bound to supplement the knowledge of coal slurries in th...

Research has shown that many Bentonite in Nigeria are unsuitable for oil well drilling in their natural states. Their modification and blends with some additives could increase the yield and boost their suitability. Many indigenous polymers have become very popular due to environmental friendliness and their ability to modify rheology of clay suspension. However, the common natural polymers are...

Several key challenges for rheologists working in the food industry are presented. These range from pure material science problems (complex yield behaviour, fracture mechanics of “soft” materials, interfacial rheology) and interactions with solid surfaces (wall slip) to the probably biggest challenge: the effects of rheology on processes inside the human body. Finally, the need for enhanced tea...

With the development of technology, new materials have been invented, which have been applied to improve the performance of structures. Recently, researchers pay their attention to controllable fluids and its applications. Magneto rheological (MR) damper is a kind of devices that uses rheological fluids to modify their mechanical properties. Their mechanical simplicity, large dynamic range, low...

For several decades attention has been directed to natural polysaccharide gels and synthesized polymer gels. The structure-function relationships at molecular level in water of polysaccharides, κ-carrageenan, ι-carrageenan, agarose (agar), and gellan family of polysaccharides (gellan, welan, rhamsan, S-657, deacetylated rhamsan and native gellan gum), which are industrially useful polysaccharid...

This study investigates the effects of nanostructure size and surface area on the rheological properties of un-cross-linked poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF) nanocomposites and the mechanical properties of cross-linked nanocomposites as a function of the nanostructure loading. Three model carbon nanostructures were examined, C(60) fullerenes, ultra-short single-walled carbon nanotubes (US-tubes) a...
