Polyethylene glycol (PEG) grafted poly γ-benzyl L-glutamate (PBLG) were prepared from esterification or substitution reaction of PBLG with PEG having hydroxyl group at one end or primary amino groups at both ends. The viscosity of these polymer solution was decreased with decrease of polymer concentration. But in more dilute solution the viscosity was increased with decrease of polymer concentration. PEG-grafted PBLG polymers showed smaller water contact angles than PBLG homopolymer, and the water contact angles of the surface of PEG-grafted PBLG polymers were largely dropped by reacting with aminoethanol, resulting in hydrogel surfaces.

To investigate the optimum conditions of seaweed Mooks prepared with sea mustard (Indaria pinnatifida) and sea tangel(Laminaria japonica), pH, viscosity , yield and jelly strength were studied on the sol and /or gel (Mook ) made from homogenized seaweeds. Solubilization conditions of homogenized seaweeds were heating at $65^{\circ}C$ for one hour after mixing homogenized seaweed with 1 % $K_2$HPO$_4$ by 1 ; 1 (v/v) . Gelation conditions were 24 hrs by natural permeation of Ca++ into the sol in three times (v/v) of 1 % CaCl$_2$ solution to solubilized seaweed passed through 60 mesh of sieve. There are generally no relationship between viscosity of solubilized seaweed and jelly strength of Mook produced by gelation of the sol in CaCl$_2$ solution . Jelly strength of sea mustard Mook was more than 500g/$\textrm{cm}^2$ , yield was 87.5% of the solubilized and filtrated seaweed . Jelly strength and specific gravity of sea tangle Mook were higher those of sea mustard Mook, while its yield was lower than that of sea mustard Mook.

In this study, we investigated for synthetic hydrotalcite in chloroprene rubber foam. Experiments were carried out to find the optimum content ratio by controlling the contents of MgO and Hydrotalcite. Swelling test in toluene immersion was made to measure the crosslinking density of CR foams, and the cure properties were investigated with flat die rheometer and Mooney viscosity. The difference of hardness, tensile strength and elongation at break were observed after immersing in 7% NaCl or 21% NaCl solutions for a day and four days. In addition, the volume change and water content remaining in CR foam were measured after immersing NaCl solution. As content of MgO increased, the value of the cure torque tended to increase, but it was almost constant above 2phr of MgO. However, the Mooney viscosity decreased with increasing MgO content. The crosslinking density, determined by the swelling ratio, showed that the CR compound without MgO showed a higher degree of swelling. When the content of hydrotalcite/MgO was 3:2, it was the lowest volume change of CR form. Also, As the content of hydrotalcite decreased, the difference of mechanical properties before and after immersion NaCl solution increased.

The surface structure of the electrospun polymer fibers depends on the polymer concentration, the type of solvent used, applied voltage and so on. To make a desired surface, it is important to understand the effects of the physicochemical properties to form a stable Taylor cone and jet dispensation. We observed the formation of Taylor cone and a consequent structure of fiber by controlling the parameters of applied voltage, solution concentration, solvent and collector effectively. Once the surfaces were fabricated, the structures were analyzed using optical imaging technologies. As the solution concentration was increased, the smooth fibers were formed. In addition, different solvent ratios determined the viscosity and the surface tension of solutions. As a result, with decreased viscosity and increased surface tension, thin fibers were obtained by electrospinning. Furthermore the aligned nanofiber was successfully created by using drum collector.

Introducing boric acid to the polyviny alcohol(PVA) solutions has a profound effect on the rheological properties through crosslinking between hydroxyl groups of PVA. This study investigates the effect of boric acid on the rheological properties of polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)/dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO)/water systems in the absence of cations. The viscosity of PVA/ DMSO/water systems containing 1 wt.% boric acid was decreased with increasing water content. PVA/DMSO systems containing 1 wt.% boric acid exhibited rheological properties similar to elastic gels by forming crosslinked structures. On the other hand, PVA/water systems containing 1 wt.% boric acid exhibited rheological properties typical of viscous materials. In-corporation of boric acid into PVA/DMSO system caused a notable change in the viscosity of the system, whereas boric acid had little effect on the viscosity of PVA/water system. PVA/DMSO/boric acid system gave the greatest storage modulus among the PVA solution systems. Increasing water level in the mixed solvent of DMSO and water diminished the storage modulus of the systems.

The physicochemical properties of viscosity, color, acidity and volume of anchovy extract were measured for their changes during extraction with alkali solution and/or proteolytic enzymes. The dried anchovies were ground in 0.3N NaOH solution followed by hydrolysis with neutral or alkaline protease and centrifuged to obtain anchovy extract. The results showed that the volume of supernatant after centrifugation increased from 70% of water only extraction to 89% by combined alkali-enzyme treatment. Titratable acidity of the extract showed a tendency of a little increase while viscosiy decreased with prolonged enzymic hydrolysis. Changes in Hunter value of 'L', 'a', 'b' showed that the extract became darker and less yellowish as protease treatment prolonged.

The groutability depends on the properties of the grout, its injection processes, and on the mechanical properties of the soil formation. During the process of pouring cement-based grouting into a porous medium, a variation with time occurs in the viscosity of grout suspension. In addition the particle filtration phenomenon will limit the expansion of the grouted zone because cement particles are progressively stagnant within the soil matrix. In this paper, a closed-form solution was derived by implementing the mass balance equations and the generalized phenomenological filtration law, which can be used to evaluate the deposition of cement-based grout in the soil matrix. The closed-form solution relevant to a particular spherical flow was modified by a step-wise numerical calculation, considering the variable viscosity caused by a chemical reaction, and the decrease in porosity resulting from grout particle deposition in the soil pores. A series of pilot-scale chamber injection tests was performed to verify that the developed step-wise numerical calculation is able to evaluate the injectable volume of grout and the deposition of grout particles. The results of the chamber injection tests concurred well with that of the step-wise numerical calculation. Based on the filtration phenomenon, a new groutability criterion of cement-based grout in a porous medium was proposed, which might facilitate a new insight in the design of the grouting process.

Rheological properties of partially purified fucoidans of Laminaria religiosa, sporophylls of Undaria pinnatifida, Hizikia fusiforme, and Sargassum fulvellum in Korea were investigated, The fucoidans produced aqueous solutions of low apparent viscosity with pseudoplastic flow behavior. The viscosity of $5\%$ solution of the fucoidan from sporophylls of U. pinnatifida was 2.2 mPa.s. The activaton energies of L. religiosa, sporophylls of U. pinnatifida, H. fusiforme and S. fulvellum were $8.269\times10^6,\;7.498\times10^6,\;7.141\times10^6,\;and\;6.677\times10^6\;J/Kg.mol$ at 1,500 1/s of shear rate, respectively. The viscosity of the fucoidan solution was increased by the addition of sugar, but that was not changed by addition of NaCl.

The effects of concentrations of sulfur dioxide (0.16-0.20%) and steeping times (25-50hr) at $52^{\circ}C$ on the changes in pH of steep water and weight and volume of corn and starch properties were investigated. The pH of steep water increased and remained constant after steeping time of 20 hours. The degree of weight or volume gain decreased as the concentration of sulfur dioxide increased. The protein content of starch increased as the concentration of sulfur dioxide increased. Water·binding capacity of starch showed the highest value at the steeping time of 35 hours. Swell ins power and solubility decreased as cocentration of sulfur dioxide and steeping time increased. The initial pasting temperature and peak viscosity were increased and decreased, respectively, as the concentration of sulfur dioxide increased. At the same concentration of sulfur dioxide, the peak viscosity was increased and then decreased. Viscosity of starch in sodium hydroxide solution tended to decrease as the concentration of sulfur dioxide and sleeping time increased. The gel volume of starch in 3M KSCN solution was not affected by concentration of sulfur dioxide and steeping time.

The use of electrokinetic dissipation method to study the fluid flow law in micro-pores is of great significance to reservoir rock microfluidics. In this paper, the micro-capillary theory was combined with the coupling model of the seepage field and the current field under the excitation of the harmonic signal, and the coupling theory of the electrokinetic effect under the first-order approximation condition was derived. The dissipation equation of electrokinetic dissipation and viscous resistance dissipation and its solution were established by using Green's function method. The physical and mathematical models for the electrokinetic dissipation of reservoir rocks were constructed. The microscopic mechanism of the electrokinetic dissipation of reservoir rock were theoretically clarified. The influencing factors of the electrokinetic dissipation frequency of the reservoir rock were analyzed quantitatively. The results show that the electrokinetic effect transforms the fluid flow profile in the pores of the reservoir from parabolic to wavy; under low-frequency conditions, the apparent viscosity coefficient is greater that one and is basically unchanged. The apparent viscosity coefficient gradually approaches 1 as the frequency increases further. The viscous resistance dissipation is two orders of magnitude higher than the electrokinetic effect dissipation. When the concentration of the electrolyte exceeds 0.1mol/L, the electrokinetic dissipation can be neglected, while for the electrolyte solution (<$10^{-2}M$) in low concentration, the electrokinetic dissipation is very significant and cannot be ignored.
