The imbibition dynamics of aqueous solutions in paper substrates determines the performance of all the operations integrated in analytical paper-based devices. In particular, an accurate control of the flow rate is required ...

The accurate calculation of the viscosity η as function of the shear rate &γdot; from capillary viscometry is still a matter of debate in the literature. In fact, this problem involves the inversion of an integral equation, ...

Solution behavior of carboxymethylcellulose acetate butyrate (CMCAB) in acetone and ethyl acetate has been investigated by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and capillary viscometry and correlated with the characteristics ...

The project aims to develop ceramic compounds with gradients of the mechanical properties, using the molding technique with commercial starches. To understand the process of interaction between starch and ceramic powders, ...

The sugarcane juice is a relatively low-cost agricultural resource, abundant in South Asia, Central America and Brazil, with vast applications in producing ethanol biofuel. In that way, a good knowledge of the rheological ...
