Rheological properties of chestnut starch suspensions (3 and 4%, db) and gelatinized starch (4%, db) were investigated with a capillary and rotational viscometer, respectively. Starch suspensions had no yield stress and showed dilatant flow behavior in the temperature ranges of $30-65^{\circ}C$. However, starch suspension showed pseudoplastic flow behavior at $70^{\circ}C\; and\;above\; 65^{\circ}C$ for 3 and 4% concentration, respectively Flow activation energy below $50^{\circ}C$ was 0.56 kcal/mole but increased to 51.9-80.8 kcal/mole at $60-70^{\circ}C$. The behavior of gelatinized starch (4%) was pseudoplastic regardless of heating temperature $(65-80^{\circ}C)$ and time (15-60 min). The apparent viscosity of the starch remained constant after heating at $80^{\circ}C$ for 45 min. The swelling power and log apparent viscosity showed similar pattern. The activation energy of the apparent viscosity of the geletinized starch at $70-80^{\circ}C$ was 13.09kcal/mole. The apparent viscosity of thermal-gelatinized $(90^{\circ}C)$ starch was lower than that of 15 psi-gelatinized starch.

The steady shear and small amplitude oscillatory dynamic rheological properties of citrus pectin $([\eta]=3.75\;dL/g)$ were characterized for a wide range of pectin concentrations $({\sim}6%)$. The typical power-law flow was observed above 2.0% concentration, and the shear rate dependence of viscosity increased with pectin concentration. The transition from dilute to concentrated regime, determined from the double logarithmic plot of ${\eta_{sp.o}}\;vs\;C[\eta]$, occurred at a critical coil overlap parameter $C^{*}[\eta]\approx4.0$, at which ${\eta_{sp.o}}$ corresponded to approximately 10.0. The slopes of ${\eta_{sp.o}}\;vs\;C[\eta]$, at $C[\eta]\;at\;C[\eta]C^{*}[\eta]$were 1.1 and 4.5, respectively. The steady viscosity $(\eta)$ displayed a good superposition at ${\eta}/{\eta}_o\;vs\;{\gamma}/{\gamma}_{0.8}$ relation with an exception of high concentration (6%), which arised from the significant deviation of flow behavior index (n values of $\eta_{a}=K\gamma^{n-1}$) at high concentration. Dynamic measurements showed that the loss modulus $(G^{\prime\prime})$ was much higher than the storage modulus $(G^\prime)$for all concentrations studied, indicating predominant viscoelastic liquid-like behavior of pectin solutions. The frequency dependence of $G^\prime$ was higher than that of $G^\prime\prime$ at the same concentration, whose trend was more pronounced with decreasing pectin concentration. The shear viscosity $(\eta)$ was almost identical to the complex viscosity $(\eta^{*})$ at low concentration, following the Cox-Merz rule, but they became increasingly different at high concentration.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of monomer and filler compositions on the rheological properties related to the handling characteristics of resin composites. Methods. Resin matrices that Bis-GMA as base monomer was blended with TEGDMA as diluent at various ratio were mixed with the Barium glass (0.7 um and 1.0 um), 0.04 um fumed silica and 0.5 um round silica. All used fillers were silane treated. In order to vary the viscosity of experimental composites, the type and content of incorporated fillers were changed, Using a rheometer, a steady shear test and a dynamic oscillatory shear test were used to evaluate the viscosity ($\eta$) of resin matrix, and the storage shear modulus (G'), the loss shear modulus (G"), the loss tangent ($tan{\delta}$) and the complex viscosity (${\eta}^*$) ofthe composites as a function of frequency ${\omega}{\;}={\;}0.1-100{\;}rad/s$. To investigate the effect of temperature on the viscosity of composites, a temperature sweep test was also undertaken. Results. Resin matrices were Newtonian fluid regardless of diluent concentration and all experimental composites exhibited pseudoplastic behavior with increasing shear rate. The viscosity of composites was exponentially increased with increasing filler volume%. In the same filler volume, the smaller the fillers were used, the higher the viscosities were. The effect of filler size on the viscosity was increased with increasing filler content. Increasing filler content reduced $tan{\delta}$ by increasing the G' further than the G". The viscosity of composites was decreased exponentially with increasing temperature.

To explore cattail pollen powder as a functional food ingredient, we analyzed the general components of pollen powder, tested changes in the physical properties of dough containing the powder, and investigated the process ability of powder-containing dough in bread making by adding 3%, 6%, or 9% by weight of pollen powder to wheat flour. Cattail pollen powder consisted of (all w/w) 12.7-13.2% water, 15.7-17.8% crude protein, 1.3% crude fat, 7.5-7.7% free sugar, 14.7-18.6% crude fiber, 3.4-4.9% pollen, and 49.7-55.9% soluble nitrogen-free extract (NFE). Analysis of the physical properties of dough mixed with pollen powder showed that as more pollen powder was added, the absorption rate increased, but dough stability decreased. With increasing levels of cattail pollen powder, the falling number decreased, and amylase activity increased. Fermentability was highest in dough made with 3% by weight of pollen powder, and the bread product made from such dough had the greatest volume. As more cattail pollen powder was added, the moisture activity in dough tended to decrease to a greater extent than seen in control dough, and this tendency increased with time. We found that longer storage periods were associated with greater hardness and springiness, which indicated degradation in product quality. Therefore, it is suggested that bread products containing cattail pollen powder should be consumed within 3 days of preparation. In a taste survey, bread baked with 3% (w/w) cattail pollen powder scored highest in all questionnaire items.

Single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) has been used as a material for reinforcing various advanced materials because it has superior mechanical properties. However, pure SWCNT that does not have any functional group has a hydrophobic character, and exists as bundles due to the strong Van der Waals attraction between each SWCNT. Due to these reasons, it is very difficult to disperse SWCNTs in the water. In this work, in order to use SWCNT for production of cementitious composites, SWCNT was first dispersed in water to make an aqueous solution. Sodium deoxycholate (DOC) and Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) were chosen as surfactants, and the dosage of DOC and SDS were 2wt% and 1wt%, respectively. Sonication and ultracentrifugation were applied to separate each SWCNT and impurities. Using such processed SWCNT solutions, cement paste was prepared and its shear stress vs. strain rate relationship was studied. The yield stress and plastic viscosity of cement paste were obtained using Bingham model. According to the results in this work, cement pastes made with DOC and SDS showed similar rheological behavior to that of air entrained cement paste. While cement paste made with DOC 2 wt.% SWCNT solution showed similar rheological behavior to that of plain cement paste, cement paste made with SDS 1 wt.% SWCNT solution showed different rheological behavior showing much less yield stress than plain cement paste.

Carbon nanotube has excellent mechanical strength and functionality, so it has been utilized in various applications. In recent years, utilization of carbon nanotube in construction material has started to get interests from researchers in the area of construction materials. However, there is limited amount of work with respect to the rheological properties of cement paste using carbon nanotube. In this work, solution made of multi-walled carbon nanotube with dispersing agent of polyvinyl pyrrolidone was used to prepare cement paste specimens, and rheological properties and 28 day compressive strengths of cement paste using multi-walled carbon nanotube were measured. According to the experimental results, as the amounnt of multi-walled carbon nanotube increased, plastic viscosity and yield stress of cement paste specimens also increased. It was also found that such effect was higher with lower w/c cement paste specimens. With respect to the compressive strength, it was maximized at carbon nanotube content of 0.1wt.% for w/c 0.30 cement paste, whereas the maximum strength of w/c 0.40 cement paste was observed with carbon nanotube content of 0.2wt%.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of ash contents of bread flour on the rheology of frozen dough In making frozen dough by measuring amylograph, flrinograph and extensograph. The quality of frozen-stored dough under freezing condition ($-20^{\circ}C$, 12 weeks) was evaluated by measuring final proof time, moisture content, baking loss, loaf volume and hardness of bread with storage time. In bread flour with high ash content farinogram showed that water absorption, degree of softening increased but valorimeter value decreased. In bread flour with low ash content amylogram showed that gelatinization temperature and maximum viscosity increased and extensogram showed that the area and resistance of the bread flour increased. As the proof time increased the extensibility decreased. Final proof time of frozen dough was shortened at the bread flour with low ash content with storage time. In bread using the flour with high ash content, moisture content, increased but baking loss rate decreased while the hardness of product increased slowly with time. But in bread using the flour with low ash content, the loaf volume of baking increased but the hardness of product decreased. As the frozen storage time was shortened, the product was more stable and better in quality.

Liquid-state fermentation of Monascus koji was performed using 10% honey as the nutrient source. The rheological characteristics of flour doughs with added red koji broth were evaluated and revealed the following results. The falling number which represents the paste characteristics decreased, as the amount of added red koji broth increased. Adding 10% broth resulted in a falling number of $363{\pm}7.8s$ and with 20% it was $318{\pm}2.1s$. In the measurement of gelatinization using a rapid visco analyzer, increasing the red koji broth decreased peak viscosity, peak viscosity time, holding strength, final viscosity and set-back values, but initial pasting temperature and breakdown value increased. In the farinograph measurements, no significantly different absorption was found between the control and the treatments, and the results were 64.3-65.0%. The consistency and tolerance index of the doughs were higher in the treatments than the control. Increasing the broth addition ratio increased the measurement values, however development time and time to break down the doughs decreased. Stability also decreased and adding 20% broth resulted in a 9.3 min development time, and adding 40% broth resulted in a 3.0 min development time. In the alveographic analysis, the $P_{max}$ (overpressure) value of the control was 158.0 mm. $P_{max}$ value increased to 190.0 mm after adding 40% broth. However the values of L, G and W were higher in the control. As a result, little influence on dough rheology was observed by adding red koji broth 20%.

We have fabricated source-drain electrodes for OTFTs using a screen-printing technique with carbon-black pastes as conductive paste. And effects of dispersants contents (SOP 10-40%) on the dispersity of carbon-black pastes and characteristics of screen-printed source-drain electrodes for OTFTs using two types of dispersants (DB-2150, DB-9077) were investigated. As contents of both dispersants were increased the dispersity of carbon-black mill-bases was improved, whereas the carbon-black pastes exhibited different dispersion characteristics. For the case of DB-2150, the dispersity of the pastes was improved with increasing dispersant content and the storage modulus G' in their rheology characteristics were reduced. But, for the DB-9077, the storage modulus G' of pastes were increased with dispersant content due to the flocculated network structure formed by interactions among carbon-black powders and dispersants. But, since this flocculated network structure of the pastes using DB-9077 resulted in the conduction path of carbon-black structures, the conductivities of screen-printed electrodes and mobilities of the OTFTs with them were better than those using pastes with DB-2150.

Abandoned mines often cause environmental problems, such as alteration of landscape, metal contamination, and landslides due to a heavy rainfall. Geotechnical and rheological tests were performed on waste materials corrected from Imgi waste rock dump, located in Busan Metropolitan City. Debris flow mobility was examined with the help of 1-D BING model which was often simulated in both subaerial and subaqueous environments. To determine flow curve, we used a vane-penetrated rheometer. The shear stress (${\tau}$)-shear rate (${\dot{\gamma}}$) and viscosity(${\eta}$)-shear rate (${\dot{\gamma}}$) relationships were plotted using a shear stress control mode. Well-known rheological models, such as Bingham, bilinear, Herschel-Bulkley, Power-law, and Papanastasiou concepts, were compared to the rheological data. From the test results, we found that the tested waste materials exhibited a typical shear shinning behavior in ${\tau}$-${\dot{\gamma}}$ and and ${\eta}$-${\dot{\gamma}}$ plots, but the Bingham behavior is often observed when the water contents increased. The test results show that experimental data are in good agreement with rheological models in the post-failure stage during shearing. Based on the rheological properties (i.e., Bingham yield stress and viscosity as a function of the volumetric concentration of sediment) of waste materials, initial flowing shape (5 m, 10 m, and 15 m) and yield stress (100 Pa, 200 Pa, 300 Pa, and 500 Pa) were input to simulate the debris flow motion. As a result, the runout distance and front velocity of debris flow are in inverse propositional to yield stress. In particular, when the yield stress is less than 500 Pa, most of failed masses can flow into the stream, resulting in a water contamination.
