The rheological properties and fractal dimensions of flaxseed gum gels were analyzed in various ionic strength values ranging between 0 and 1000 mM. The rheological properties of flaxseed gum were significantly influenced by the ionic strength. The gel strength first increased then decreased with the increasing of ionic strength and the strongest gel was obtained when the ionic strength was 400 mM. The calculated fractal dimensions of the flaxseed gum gels were 2.06-2.49 or 1.42-2.18, based on the model selected and the ionic strength applied. These results would help to understand the microstructure of the flaxseed gum gels and the influence of ionic strength on that. However, the difference in results between the two models implied that further study is needed to find suitable model for flaxseed gum gels.

Rheological characterization of tahin/pekmez (sesame paste/concentrated grape juice) blends
Arslan, Elif; Esin, Ali; Yener, Esra; Department of Food Engineering (2003)
The aim of this study was to determine the rheological properties of tahin/pekmez blends at different tahin concentrations (20-32%) and temperatures (35-65 C) by using a concentric cylinder rotational viscometer. Samples were sheared with seven different rotational speeds at an increasing order. The shear rates (0.75-63.9 s-1) were calculated by the Power-law Approximation method. Tahin/pekmez blends were found to exhibit non-Newtonian, shear thinning behavior at all temperatures and tahin concentrations. T...
Ternary nanocomposites of low density, high density and linear low density polyethylenes with the compatibilizers E-MA-GMA and E-BA-MAh
Işık Coşkunses, Fatma; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Chemical Engineering (2011)
The effects of polyethylene, (PE), type, compatibilizer type and organoclay type on the morphology, rheological, thermal, and mechanical properties of ternary low density polyethylene (LDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), matrix nanocomposites were investigated in this study. Ethylene – Methyl acrylate – Glycidyl methacrylate terpolymer (E-MAGMA) and Ethylene – Butyl acrylate- Maleic anhydrate terpolymer (E-BA-MAH) were used as the compatibilizers. The organo...
Vitamin D-2 at high and low concentrations exert opposing effects on molecular order and dynamics of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine membranes
Kazanci, N; Toyran, N; Haris, PI; Severcan, Feride (2001-01-01)
Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopic studies show that low concentrations of vitamin D-2 (1 and 3 mol %) does not induce significant change in the overall shape of the thermotropic profile of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) membrane. In contrast, at higher concentrations of vitamin D-2 (9 and 12 mol %), the phase transition shifts to lower temperatures and a significant broadening in the phase transition curve is also observed. Low concentration of vitamin D-2 decreases the frequency of the CH2 s...
Rheological properties of extruded dispersions of flaxseed-maize blend
WU, Min; Lİ, Dong; WANG, Li-Jun; Özkan, Necati; Mao, Zhi-Huai (2010-06-01)
Rheological properties of the extruded pastes of various extrusion conditions were investigated by dynamic oscillation and creep-recovery tests. Temperature sweep test showed that the starch gelatinization of non-extruded pastes took place at about 67 degrees C and no gelatinization was observed for the extruded sample. Frequency sweep tests could be represented by a Power law model and the samples showed gel-like behavior since storage modulus was much larger than loss modulus. The creep-recovery data were...
Chain-extended bismaleimides .1. Preparation and characterization of maleimide-terminated resins
Yerlikaya, Z; Oktem, Z; Bayramlı, Erdal (1996-01-03)
Starting from aromatic diamines, a series of bismaleimides (BMIs) and maleimide-terminated structural resins were prepared in solution and characterized. Maleimide-terminated resins were prepared through Michael addition reaction with 3/2 molar ratio of bismaleimide and aromatic diamine as reactants. The structural analysis was performed by FTIR and H-1-NMR spectroscopy. Thermal properties are investigated by TGA, DTA, and DSC. Number-average molecular-weights of the resins were determined by cryoscopy. The...
