The rheological measurement of polypropylene (PP) has been performed using a rheometer, an intrinsic viscometer, and an MI machine to predict the molecular weight and the molecular weight distribution. Also, GPC has been used for the determination of the molecular structure. The distribution broadness parameter using modified Carreau model has been used to make the correlation between the rheological parameter and the molecular structure instead of the rheological PI (polydispersity index) which is determined from the cross of modulus from the dynamic oscillatory measurement. Even though the rheological PI is useful to determine the molecular weight distribution of the PP using controlled rheology, which has narrow and uniform molecular weight distribution, but not suitable to determine the molecular weight distribution of the PP made from direct polymerization which has broad and various molecular weight distribution. However the distribution broadness parameter which determined from the index of the shear thinning of the PP melt well predicts the molecular weight distribution of PP.

Rheological properties of rehydrated freeze dried instant rice were investigated in comparison with that of cooked rice. The time changes in reciprocal hardness of instant rice grains at various rehydration temperatures$(60{\sim}90^{\circ}C)$ could be expressed by the first order reaction rate equation regardless of rehydration temperature and reaction rate constant increased as the rehydration temperature increased. Activation energy for rehydrating instant rice was 6.1 kcal/g-mol. Analysis of compressive stress relaxation test showed that the viscoelastic properties of both rehydrated instant rice and cooked rice grains could be expressed by 6-elements generalized Maxwell model. Rehydrated instant rice revealed higher relaxation decay than that of cooked rice and showed the elastic property increased by increasing the rehydration temperature.

The rheological properties of exopolysaccharide, p-KG03, produced by marine microalgae Gyrodinium impudicum strain KG03 had been studied. The intrinsic viscosity of this p-KG03 was calculated to 65.22 and 50.75 $d{\ell}/g$ using Huggins and Kramer equations (xanthan gum 24.41 and 24.03). Aqueous dispersions at p-KG03 concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 % (w/w) showed marked shear-thinning properties as Power-Law behavior. In aqueous dispersions of p-KG03 1.0 %, consistency index (K) and flow behavior index (n) were 2,172 and 0.52. The apparent viscosity and the influence of shear rate on different conditions as p-KG03 concentrations, pH, NaCl, $CaCl_2$ and temperature in aqueous solutions were measured. And p-KG03 had mixed with aqueous solutions of xanthan gum and gellan gum, and invested the change of mixed aqueous solution behavior.

Colloidal coating solution was prepared to enhance the hydrophilic property of the film surface. Water and ethanol were used as the dispersion media and (glycidoxypropyl) trimethoxysilane (GPS) as a binder in the colloidal silica coatings. Ethylene diamine was added to the colloidal silica solution as the curing agent. The colloidal silica solution was regarded as a hard-sphere suspension model with low volume fraction of the silica particles. Rheological properties of the silica suspensions modified with GPS have been investigated as a function of pH and concentration. The acidic solution showed high viscosity change by fast hydrolysis reaction and adsorption of the organic binders on the surface of silica particles. However, the hydrolysis was slow at the basic condition and the binders combined with themselves by condensation. The viscosity change was smallest at pH 7. The viscosity increased with the curing time after adding ethylenediamine, and the increase of viscosity at low pH was higher than that at high pH. The hydrophilic properties of the coating film were investigated by the contact angle of water and film surface. The smallest contact angle was shown under the strong acidic condition of pH 2.

For the purpose of improving the properties of UHPC as well as the economic efficiency in production of the material, Availability of river sands as fine aggregate instead of micro silica sand were investigated. Four different sizes of river sands were considered. Using river sand instead of micro silica sand increased the flowability, and decreased the yield stress and plastic viscosity in rheological properties, and the effect was higher with larger particle size of river sand. It was demonstrated by analyses based on the packing density. In the results of compressive strength and elastic modulus, even though river sand was not as good as micro silica sand, it could provide high strength of over 170 MPa and elastic modulus greater than 40 GPa. The difference in compressive strength depending on the size of river sand was explained with the concept of maximum paste thickness based on the packing density of aggregate. The flexural performance with river sand also presented relatively lower resistance than micro silica sand, and the reduction was greater with larger particle size of river sand. The flexural performance was proven to be also influenced by the difference in the fiber orientation distribution due to the size of river sand.

The utilization of metakaoline as a mineral admixture for cement has received considerable attention in recent years. This paper investigates the rheological properties of cement pastes containing metakaoline in view of fluidity. The rheology of the paste is assessed by using a BROOKFIELD RVDV II + viscometer (SC4-21, 29) having cylindrical spindle. The results show the fluidity of cement pastes with metakaoline is increased by increasing W/S ratio and the dosage of superplastcizer. And also cement pastes with metakaoline as a partial replacement of cement show a dilatant behavior. Dilatancy is heavily influenced by W/S ratio and by the amount of metakaoline. However the thixotropy of the pastes is increased by silica fume.

During all mechanical processes rice plants are subjected to verious forces such as natural load of wind and mechanical load of agricultural machines. A force is always accompanied by deformation, which must be either sufficiently great for pressing or sufficiently slight in order to avoid damage. The mechanical behavior of the rice plants is determined by three variables : force, deformation and time. And they must be studied using rheological methods to determine their viscoelastic properties. This study is conducted to experimentally determine the mechanical and rheological properties of the rice stalks subjected to radial load. The force relaxation tests are performed under constant deformation, during which the reduction of forces over time is measured. The mechanical models were developed from the abtained data. The results were as follows : 1. The relaxation behavior of a rice stalk in radial compession may be described by a generalized Maxwell model consisting of 3 Maxwell elements in parallel. 2. Relaxatiom intensity always decreased with increased time of relaxation. 3. The rate of deformation has a significant effect on the relaxation behavior. having increasing pattern with an increase in rate of deformation. 4. The relaxation intensity and residual deformation increased with increased initial load. 5. The relaxtion of the intermediate portion of stalk was bigger tham that of the upper and lower portions.

Mulberry leaves Julpyun(a traditional Korean rice cake) was prepared by adding Mulberry leaves powder in the ratio of 0%, 3%, 6% and 9% of rice flour, and tested for inorganic nature, physical function, chromaticity, and rheological properties. As the ratio of mulberry leaves powder increased, both the amounts of major inorganic ingredients, calcium, magnesium, and sodium, and the amounts of minor inorganic ingredients, iron, copper, and zinc, were increased proportionally. Thus, one way to increase the amounts of inorganic ingredients appeared to add mulberry leaves powder. In physical function test, control cake(0% mulberry leaves) showed the highest value in appearance and the value decreased as the amounts of mulberry leaves increased. In color, 3%-mulberry leaves-Julpyun gave the highest value followed by 0%, 6%, and 9%-Julpyun in order. The values of texture and moisture were decreased as the ratio of mulberry leaves powder increased. In rheometer test, 9%-mulberry leaves Julpyun showed the high values in hardness, cohesiveness, and brittleness. Therefore, as the amounts of mulberry leaves powder increased, the amounts of inorganic ingredients increased, but the value of physical function test decreased. 9% mulberry leaves Julpyun has the highest value of rheometer test.
