Modelling of Swelling by the Fluorescence Technique in Kappa Carrageenan Gels
(Amer Inst Physics, 2011)
Kappa (-kappa) carrageenan gels prepared with various carrageenan concentrations in pure water were completely dried and then swelled in water vapor. Steady state fluorescence measurements were performed using a spectrometer ...
Polymer-Ceramic Nanocomposites
(Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering, 2009)
Steady state fluorescence (SSF) and photon transmission (PT) techniques were used for studying film formation from TiO2 and Al2O3 covered polystyrene (PS) latex particles. These films were annealed at elevated temperatures ...
Fluorescence technique for monitoring swelling of PAAm-kappa-carrageenan gel composites
(Shaker Publishing, 2009)
Steady-state fluorescence (SSF) technique was employed for studying swelling of polyacrylamide (PAAm) gels with various content of kappa- carrageenan. Disc shaped composite gels were prepared by free-radical cross/inking ...
Phase Transitions in Pure and Hybrid Hydrogels: A Fluorescence Study
(Wiley, 2009)
Recent observations on phase transitions around the critical point showed that the critical exponents differed drastically from percolation results and classical results for pure hydrogel systems depending on monomer ...
Critical Exponents of Thermal Phase Transitions of kappa-Carrageenan in Various Salt Solutions
(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2009)
The steady state fluorescence (SSF) technique was employed to study the phase transitions Of kappa-carrageenan in NaCl and KCl solutions. Pyranine was used as a fluorescence probe for monitoring these transitions. Scattered ...
Oxygen Diffusion into Polymer-Clay Composite Films as a Function of Clay Content and Temperature
(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2009)
A simple fluorescence technique is proposed for the measurement of the diffusion coefficient of oxygen into polystyrene-clay composite films as a function of clay content and temperature. The composite films were prepared ...
Percolation and Film Formation Behaviors of MWNT/PS Nanocomposites
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2011)
This study involves the investigation of film formation and electrical conductivity properties of polystrene (PS) latex/multi-walled Carbon nanotube (MWNT) composites. Films prepared from PS/MWNT mixtures with different ...
A mathematical characterization of the gel point in sol-gel transition
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2015)
We model the sol-gel transition in terms of Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) and Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Removed (SEIR) models and compare with experimental results. We show, numerically, that the "gel point" described ...
