The interaction between polymers and surfactants was investigated by means of rheological and surface tension measurements. The polymers used in this study were acrylates/$C_{10-30}$ alkyl acrylate crosspolymer (AC) and ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP copolymer (AV). And the surfactants were PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil (HC) and polysorbate 60 (P60). HC and P60 made the micelles intervening between AC polymers, resulting in the increase of viscosity. However, HC showed a similar behavior over the wider range of surfactant concentration than P60. Regarding of surface tensions in the same range of surfactant concentration, AC/HC solution showed the area of increasing surface tension with surfactant concentration in contrast to the AC/P60 solution showing no increasing area. It is assumed that the micelles between AC/HC were formed so cooperatively and strongly that the surfactants located at the surface originally moved to the micelles.

In recent year, the ultra high strength concrete has highly increased and been used in many parts of the world. However, the viscosity of the ultra high strength concrete is high because of a low water to binder ratio (w/b). So that in this pater, the shear stress and the shear strain rate are directly measured by the viscometer in order to estimate the rheological properties of the ultra high strength concrete and a linear regression analysis was carried out to determine the plastic viscosity and the yield stress as slope. According to the test results, the yield stress and plastic viscosity are correlated to slump-flow, V-funnel flow time, O-lot flow time

This study was conducted with the purpose of investigating the rheological characteristics of noodle flour dough supplementary konjac powder comprising 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% or 2.0% of the total mixture. In farinograph analysis, water absorption increased with the increased content of konjac powder. Both the arrival times and the development times of the dough with added konjac powder were longer than original wheat flour dough. Dough stability was found to be increased as compared to the control, but decreased as konjac powder content was increased. As konjac powder content increased, the resistance of the dough as shown by farinograph data was highest in the original wheat flour dough as 130 BU. Starting temperature, maximum viscosity temperature and maximum viscosity were decreased as shown in amylograph analysis. In extensograph analysis, the dough's extensibility and resistance to extension of the dough decreased as the amount of konjac powder was increased. The ratio of resistance to extensibility (R/E) decreased with the an increase in the amount of konjac powder included in the dough. The dough's tensile strength after cooking was increased in proportion to the additional amount of konjac powder used.

PURPOSES : It is necessary to clarify the rheological properties of cement paste as a basic research in the development of mechanistic concrete mix design. The rheological properties of cement paste with different binder types, mix propositions, and with/without high range water reducers have been analyzed. METHODS : In this study, ordinary Portland cement, fly-ash, blast furnace slag, silica fume, and limestone powder were used as binders. The range of water-binder ratio was 0.3-0.5, and a total of 30 different mixes have been tested. The slump flow test, V-funnel test, and Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) test were performed to analyze the rheological properties of cement paste. RESULTS : As a result of the slump flow test, it was found that the composition ratio of the binder contents greatly affected the paste flow when the high range water reducers were added. The results of V-funnel test showed that when the water-binder ratio was decreased without high range water reducers, the binder composition ratio had a large effect on the passing time of the V-funnel tester, but with high range water reducers the impact of the binder composition ratio was decreased. The slump flow and V-funnel have a certain relationship with the rheological factors (yield stress and plastic viscosity), but the correlation was not significant. Finally, we proposed the M-value considering the density and specific surface area of the binder. The correlation between rheological factors and M-value were better demonstrated than experimental values, but there is still a limit to predict the rheological factor in general mix design. CONCLUSIONS :In this study, the rheological properties of cement paste were analyzed. The binder type, composition ratio of binder, and with/without high range water reducers have combined to provide the complex effects on the rheological properties of cement paste. The correlation between the proposed M-value and rheological factor was found to be better than experimental results, but needs to be improved in the future.

The aim of the research is, for normal strength range concrete mixture, to evaluate the fluidity development and robustness of the mixture depending on various water reducers. Although a usage of water reducer has been essential to make a concrete under the current conditions of worsen aggregate quality, selection of appropriate performance of water reducer is significant. Hence, in this research, regarding the normal strength range mortar, three different performance of water reducers were evaluated in aspects of securing fluidity, and robustness, rheological behaviors. Additionally, for the concrete mixture, the fluidity change was evaluated depending on unit water content for each different water reducer, and the water reducing performance with manufacturing cost was compared and analyzed. By the result of this research, it is expected to provide a case of determining appropriate kind of water reducer and to contribute on conditions of securing sufficient fluidity with stable quality and economical advantage.

Using a Rheometries Dynamic Analyzer (RDA II), the dynamic viscoelastic properties of a semi-solid ointment base (vaseline) in large amplitude oscillatory shear flow fields were measured over a temperature range of $25{\sim}45^{\circ}C$ and the linear viscoelastic behavior in small amplitude oscillatory shear flow fields was investigated over a wide range of angular frequencies. In this article, the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior was reported from the experimentally obtained data and the effect of temperature on this behavior was discussed in detail. In addition, the angular frequency and temperature dependencies of a linear viscoelastic behavior were explained. Finally, the applicability of a time-temperature superposition principle originally developed for polymeric materials was examined using a shift factor. Main results obtained from this study can be summarized as follows : (1) At very small strain amplitude region, vaseline shows a linear viscoelastic behavior independent of the imposed deformation magnitudes. Above a critical strain amplitude $({\gamma}_{0}=0.1{\sim}0.2%)$, however, vaseline exhibits a nonlinear viscoelastic behavior ; indicating that both the storage modulus and dynamic viscosity are sharply decreased with increasing deformation magnitude. (2) In large amplitude oscillatory shear flow fields, an elastic behavior (storage modulus) has a stronger strain amplitude dependence and begins to show a nonlinear behavior at a smaller strain amplitude region than does a viscous behavior (dynamic viscosity). (3) In small amplitude oscillatory shear flow fields, the storage modulus as well as the loss modulus are continuously increased as an increase in angular frequency and an elastic nature is always superior to a viscous behavior over a wide range of angular frequencies. (4) A time-temperature superposition principle can successfully be applicable to vaseline. This finding allows us to estimate the dynamic viscoelastic behavior of vaseline over an extraordinarily extended range (11 decades) of angular frequencies inaccessible from the experimentally measured range (4 decades).

In this study, in order to confirm the applicability of Hollow Glass Powder(HGP) in 70MPa-class high strength concrete, the fresh and hardened states were examined according to the amount of HGP, and the results are as follows. The flow characteristics showed that the slump flow increased slightly as the amount of HGP was increased, and the T500 was slightly shortened as the amount of HGP was increased, and the rebar passing ability was improved due to the ball bearing effect of HGP. In particular, it showed the best rebar passing ability at a usage of 1.0kg/㎥. The use of HGP 1.0kg/㎥ resulted in a 40% reduction in plastic viscosity, but the viscosity increased at 2.0kg/㎥. Through experiments, it was confirmed that HGP was helpful in improving the workability of high-strength concrete, and the usage of 1.0kg/㎥ is considered to be the most appropriate. It was confirmed that HGP does not affect concrete compressive strength.

In this study, various unsaturated polyester (UPE) resins were prepared from the condensation polymerization of mixtures of saturated (isophthalic acid : IPA) and unsaturated (maleic anhydride : MA) dibasic acids with propylene glycol (PG), neopentyl glycol (NPG). The critical surface tension (Υ$_{c}$) for the surface characteristics of a solid were estimated by Zisman plot, and the structure-property relationship was investigated by measuring the rheology of resins. The values of Υ$_{c}$ for glass of solid were 30.5 mNㆍm$^{-1}$ for UPE resin liquids. As the content of NPG in a PG/NPG glycol mixture increased, both the contact angle and the surface tension of the UPE resin liquids were found to decrease. The dynamic viscoelasticities of UPE resins with different glycol molar ratios were also measured. Shear rate dependence of viscosity and angular frequency dependence of storage, and loss modulus tended to decrease with increasing NPG content.

This study was pursued to measure skin feeling of cosmetics by mechanical methods. For this attempt, skin feeling of cosmetics such as spreading properties, tackiness, and residual greasy feeling after skin application was explored with the amount and kinds of cosmetic compositions-emulsifiers, waxes, thickeners, polyols, and oils. Furthermore, the relationship between these cosmetic compositions and viscometry of cosmetic products was studied. In case of emulsifiers, waxes, and thickeners, they showed strong correlation with both skin feeling and the value of phase angle, the property of viscometry, respectively, while polyols and oils were observed a special tendency neither skin feeling nor the property of viscometry. It leads to the conclusion that skin feeling may be corresponded to not values of a mechanical measure completely but a function of several properties. We expect that a better correlation can be discovered with additionally measured properties such as friction, volatility, etc.

Effects of coupling agents on the rheological and magnetic properties of plastic ferrite magnets were investigated. Magnetic powder used was Sr-ferrite, and binder used was polypropylene (PP), and coupling agents used were ${\gamma}$-methacryloxypropyl trimethoxy silane (A174) and isopropyl triisostearoyl titanate (TTS). It was found that the addition of coupling agents to the PP/ferrite system reduced the melt viscosity and increased the magnetic properties considerably, and the treatment with TTS showed greater effect than A174 did. By comparison with that of the untreated one, the apparent viscosities of the mixtures treated with A174 and TTS decreased 23 % and 50%, respectively, at the shear rate of $1280\; sec^{-1}$ . Untreated plastic magnets showed remanent flux density $(B_r)$ of 1.89 kG and maximum energy energy product $(BH_{max})$ of 0.84 MGOe, and A174 treated magnets showed of Br 2.25 Kg and $BH_{max}$ of 1.23 MGOe. TTS treated magnets showed $B_r$ of 2.35 kG and $BH_{max}$ of 1.33 MGOe.
