Electro-Rheological(ER) fluids change their apparent viscosity according to the electric field strength. Therefore, there are many practical applications using the ER fluids. ER effect on the dispersive system of polarizable fine powder/dielectric oil has been investigated. The electrical and rheological properties of starch based ER fluid were reported. Yield stress of the fluids were measured on the couette cell type rheometer as a function of electric fields, particle concetrations, and temperatures. The electric field is applied by high voltage DC power supply, The outer cup is connected to positive electrode(+) and the bob becomes ground(-). And the temperatures the viscosity(or shear stress) versus shear rates were measured. In this experiment shear rates were increased from 0 to 200s$^{-1}$ in 2 minutes. This thesis presents Bingham properties of ER fluids subjected to temperature variations. The temperature dependence of the viscosity was determined for ER fluids consisting of 35 weight % starch particles in automatic transmission oil.

The rheological properties of apple pectins and tomato pectins with different degrees of side branches (sample I and sample II) were investigated with wide range of shear rate by theological modeling. Among the Power law model, Cross model and Carreau model, the Carreau model was the best fitted to the experimental data. Increasing in branching of apple pectins resulted in higher zero-shear viscosity $({\eta}_0)$. But, tomato pectins that have a low degree of side branches were shown litte difference between sample I and sample II. It is concluded that side branches of pectins can result in significant difference in rheological properties. And, this is predicted by the Carreau model.

With increasing consumer demand for "clean label" products, the use of natural ingredients is required in the food industry. Protein/polysaccharide complexes are considered good alternatives to synthetic emulsifiers and stabilizers for formulating stable emulsion-based foods. Milk protein and carrageenan are widely used to improve the physical properties and stability of dairy food products. In a previous study, milk protein isolate (MPI) was conjugated with 𝛋-carrageenan (𝛋-Car) in a wet-heating system through the Maillard reaction, and the Maillard conjugates (MC) derived from MPI and 𝛋-Car effectively improved the stability of oil-in-water emulsions. Therefore, MPI/𝛋-Car conjugates were used in whipping cream as natural emulsifiers in this study, and the physical and rheological properties of whipping creams stabilized using MPI/𝛋-Car MC and MPI/𝛋-Car electrostatic complexes (EC) were investigated. The whipping creams stabilized with MPI/𝛋-Car MC have lower rheological parameters (η_a,50, K, G', and G'') than those of whipping creams stabilized with MPI/𝛋-Car EC. Although the overrun value was slightly reduced owing to the addition of MPI/𝛋-Car MC, the stability of the whipped creams with MC was effectively improved due to enhanced water-holding ability by conjugation.

In this work, biodegradable modified aliphatic polyester (MAP) in tetrafunctional epoxy (4EP) resin was investigated in terms of cure kinetics, thermal stabilities, rheological properties, and mechanical interfacial properties. DSC results of the blends show that the cure activation energies (E$\_$a/) were increased in 10 wt% of MAP compared with neat 4EP, due to the increasing intermolecular interaction between 4EP and MAP. The decomposed activation energies (E$\_$t/) derived from Coats-Redfern method, were increased within the 10∼30 wt% composition range of MAP contents, resulting from increasing the cross-linking density of the blend system. Rheological properties of the blend system were investigated under isothermal condition using a rheometer. Cross-linking activation energies (E$\_$c/) were determined from the Arrhenius equation based on gel time and curing temperature. As a result, the E$\_$c/ showed a similar behavior with E$\_$a/. The fracture toughness (K$\_$IC/) of the mechanical interfacial properties was discussed in semi-IPN behaviors of the casting specimen.

In this study, the thermal and rheological characteristics of a 10 wt.% addition of aluminum particles and the effect of the particle size were investigated to qualitatively analyze the paraffin fuel entrainment regression rate. The results revealed that the addition of aluminum particles and their relative particle size affected the rheological characteristics, rather than the thermal characteristics. Moreover, it was found that the variation of thermal properties had a minor effect on the entrainment regression rate, in comparison to the variation in rheological properties.

In this study, rheological properties of kaolinite and three different porcelain fluid muds are quantitatively estimated with the latest rheometer, in which variations of their viscosities and yield stresses with their densities are estimated. This study also involves the measurements for the basic physico-chemical properties of fluid muds and the qualitative analysis of their correlation between physico-chemical and rheological properties. Experimental results of rheological tests show that fluid muds in general belong to Pseudo-plastic fluids and both viscosities and yield stresses of them increase exponentially with the increase of density while they are remarkably different in quantity depending on sediments.

Different amounts of zinc stearate were incorporated as a plasticizer into poly(styrene-co-sodium methacrylate) ionomers prepared by bulk-suspension plymerization and neutralization with sodium hydroxide and effects of the zinc stearate on the thermal and rheological properties were investigated. It was obseved that the crystallization of zinc stearate in the ionomers were partially suppressed depending on the content of ionic moieties. It is postulated that the ionic moieties dissolved zinc stearate and suppressed crystallization of the zinc stearates. We speculated that 0.4~0.6 mole of zinc stearate was dissolved by one mole of the ionic moiety. Poly(styrene-co-sodium methacrylate) containing only the dissolved zinc stearates showed typical rheological properties of homogeneous systems in Cox-Mertz plots. However, poly(styrene-co-sodium methacrylate) containing crystallizable zinc stearates as well as dissolved ones showed typical rheological properties of heterogeneous systems.

To develop a new form of spice material by concentration of garlic juice, its rheological properties were investigated. In the temperature range of $15\;to\;65^{\circ}C$, the garlic juice with the solid content of $32\;to\;60^{\circ}Brix$ was considered as a pseudoplastic fluid. Flow and consistency indices of the juice interpreted by power-law equation varied from $0.9937\;to\;0.6130\;and\;0.0041\;to\;3.1886Pa{\;s^n$, respectively. Apparent viscosity was lineally decreased as shear rate was increased. Activation energy for the flow of the garlic juice changed in the range of 11,216 to 23,195 kJ/kg mol.

The rheological properties of fresh concrete significantly influence its manufacturing and performance. However, the diversification of newly developed mixtures and manufacturing techniques has made it challenging to accurately predict these properties using traditional empirical methods. This study introduces a multiscale rheological property prediction model designed to quantitatively anticipate the rheological characteristics from nano-scale interparticle interactions, such as those among cement particles, to micro-scale behaviors, such as those involving fine aggregates. The Yield Stress Model (YODEL), the Chateau-Ovarlez-Trung equation, and the Krieger-Dougherty equation were utilized to predict the yield stress for cement paste and mortar, as well as the plastic viscosity. Initially, predictions were made for the paste scale, using the water-cement ratio (W/C) of the cement paste. These predictions then served as a basis for further forecasting of the rheological properties at the mortar scale, incorporating the same W/C and adding the cement-sand volume ratio (C/S). Lastly, the practicality of the predictive model was assessed by comparing the forecasted outcomes to experimental results obtained from rotational rheometer.

In the recent design of high ductile engineered cementitious composites (ECC), optimizing both processing and mechanical properties for specific applications is critical. This study employs a method to develop useful ECC produced with slag particles (slag-ECC) in the field, which possesses different fluid properties to facilitate diverse types of processing (i.e., self-consolidating or spray processing). Control of rheological modulation was regarded as a key factor to allow the performance of the desired processing while retaining the ductile material properties. To control the rheological properties of the composite, the basic slag-ECC composition was initially obtained, determined based on micromechanics and steady-state cracking theory. The stability and consequent viscosity of the suspensions were then mediated by optimizing the dosage of the chemical and mineral admixtures. The rheological properties altered through this approach were revealed to be effective in obtaining ECC-hardened properties, represented by pseudo strain-hardening behavior in uniaxial tension, allowing the readily achievement of the desired function of the fresh ECC.
