Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molecular gels and fibrillar networks – a comprehensive guide to experiment and theory Molecular Gels: Materials with Self-Assembled Fibrillar Networks provides a comprehensive treatise on gelators, especially low molecular-mass gelators (LMOGs), and the properties of their gels. The structures and modes of formation of the self-assembled fibrillar networks (SAFINs) that immobilize the liquid components of the gels are discussed experimentally and theoretically. The spectroscopic, rheological, and structural features of the different classes of LMOGs are also presented. Many examples of the application of the principal analytical techniques for investigation of molecular gels (including SANS, SAXS, WAXS, UV-vis absorption, fluorescence and CD spectroscopies, scanning electron, transmission electron and optical microscopies, and molecular modeling) are presented didactically and in-depth, as are several of the theories of the stages of aggregation of individual LMOG molecules leading to SAFINs. Several actual and potential applications of molecular gels in disparate fields (from silicate replication of nanostructures to art conservation) are described. Special emphasis is placed on perspectives for future developments. This book is an invaluable resource for researchers and practitioners either already researching self-assembly and soft matter or new to the area. Those who will find the book useful include chemists, engineers, spectroscopists, physicists, biologists, theoreticians, and materials scientists. Richard G.

Download or read book Polymer Gels written by D. DeRossi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains a series of papers originally presented at the Symposium on Polymer Gels organized and sponsored by the Research Group on Polymer Gels,The Society of Polymer Science of Japan and co-sponsored by the Science and Technology Agency (ST A) and MIT!, Japan. The Symposium took place at Tsukuba Science City on 18th and 19th September, 1989. Recognized experts in their fields were invited to speak and there was a strong attendance from government, academic and industrial research centers. The purpose of the Symposium was to review the state of the art and to present and discuss recent progress in the understanding of the behavioral properties of polymer gels and their application to biomedical, environmental and robotic fields. Most of the papers and related discussions concentrated on the swelling behavior of hydrogels and chemomechanical systems, both artificial and naturally occurring, in which external stimuli of a physical or chemical nature control energy transformation or signal transduction. The recent great interest in chemomechanical systems based on polymer gels has stimulated considerable effort towards the development of new sensors and actuators, controllable membrane separation processes, and delivery systems in which the functions of sensing, processing and actuation are all built into the polymeric network device. Artificial chemomechanical systems, through the use of environmentally sensitive polymer gels, are emerging as interesting materials for mimicking basic processes previously only confined to the biological world, and commercially viable applications are also foreseen in the not-too-distant future.

Book excerpt: The 21st century is also said to be the century of biotechnology, where two kinds of biopolymers play crucial roles: DNA as a bearer of genetic information and proteins as molecular machines. In spite of the dramatic progress in molecular biology and the Human Genome project, the basic principles behind the function and design of such polymeric machines are in the black box. Science and technologies that will emerge from those of polymer gels will shed light on such principles. Some researchers have already developed prototypes of artificial glands (pancreas), artificial muscles and actuators, and chemical sensors and molecular recovery systems using polymer gels. The Gels Handbook is an invaluable source of information on this rapidly growing field. It covers the entire area from the scientific basics to the applications of the materials. The authors are among the leading researchers, doctors, engineers, and patent officers in Japan.-

Book Synopsis Food Hydrocolloids by : K. Nishinari
Download or read book Food Hydrocolloids written by K. Nishinari and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now well recognised that the texture of foods is an important factor when consumers select particular foods. Food hydrocolloids have been widely used for controlling in various food products their viscoelasticity, emulsification, gelation, dispersion, thickening and many other functions. An international journal, FOOD HYDROCOLLOIDS, launched in 1986 has published a number of stimulating papers, and established an active forum for promoting the interaction between academics and industrialists and for combining basic scientific research with industrial development. Although there have been various research groups in many food processing areas in Japan, such as fish paste (kamaboko, surimi), soybean curd (tofu), agar jelly dessert, kuzu starch jelly, kimizu (Japanese style mayonnaise), their activities have been conducted in isolation of one another. The interaction between the various research groups operating in the various sectors has been weak. Symposia on food hydrocolloids have been organised on several occasions in Japan since 1985. Professor Glyn O. Phillips, the Chief Executive Editor of FOOD HYDROCOLLOIDS, suggested to us that we should organise an international conference on food hydrocolloids. We discussed it on many occasions, and eventually decided to organise such a meeting, and extended the scope to include recent development in proteinaceous hydrocolloids, and their nutritional aspects, in addition to polysaccharides and emulsions.

Book Synopsis Structure-property Relationships of Polymer Gels and Concentrated Suspensions Modified with Anisotropic Nanoparticles by : Mahla Zabet
Download or read book Structure-property Relationships of Polymer Gels and Concentrated Suspensions Modified with Anisotropic Nanoparticles written by Mahla Zabet and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soft materials are ubiquitous in every aspect of our daily life. These materials composed of a wide range of subfields including surfactants, foams, emulsions, pastes, slurries, polymers, gels, and colloidal suspensions. In recent years, there has been a great interest focusing on the understanding of the macroscopic properties of various types of soft materials as a function of their microstructures. For example, the structure-property relationship of physically-associating triblock copolymer gels can be controlled by selecting different types of solvents and changing the temperature. In these systems, gelation occurs due to the significant changes in the solubility of one or more of the blocks with temperature compared to the other blocks. Therefore, changing the temperature can lead to the structural transitions and macroscopic properties. The other strategy that can be used to modify the macroscopic performance of polymer gels is through the incorporation of nanoparticles, such as graphene nanoplatelets and nanotubes. The addition of nanoparticles can also affect the mechanical properties of concentrated suspensions in which, understanding the structure/flow properties is vital for processing and manufacturing of a product. Despite significant advances in the field of soft materials, our understanding in linking the structure-property relationships of polymer gels and concentrated suspensions is incomplete. With this perspective, in this dissertation, shear-rheometry and scattering techniques were used to understand the structural changes of the self-assembled triblock copolymer gels over a wide length-scale and broad temperature-range. Graphene nanoplatelets have been incorporated into this system to investigate the self-assembly behavior and mechanical properties as a function of graphene concentration. On the other hand, in concentrated suspensions of functionalized nanoparticles in a low-molecularweight polymeric media, the effect of nanoparticles on the rheological properties were investigated. The present work provides a better understanding of the nanoparticles’ contributions on microstructure and mechanical behavior of soft materials.
Book Synopsis Food Polymers, Gels and Colloids by : E. Dickinson
Download or read book Food Polymers, Gels and Colloids written by E. Dickinson and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manufactured foodstuffs typically exist in the form of complex, multi-phase, multi-component, colloidal systems. One way to try to make sense of their chemical and structural complexity is to study simple model systems in which the nature and properties of the polymer molecules and dispersed particles are relatively well known. This volume consists of a collection of papers delivered at a conference on food colloids, the main theme of which was the role of food macromolecules in determining the stability, structure, texture and rheology of food colloids, with particular reference to gelling behaviour and interactions between macromolecules and interfaces. A feature of the collection is the wide range of physico-chemical techniques now being used to address problems in this field.
