Effect of sol-gel transition on shear-induced drop deformation in aqueous mixtures of gellan and kappa-carrageenan

In this work, we present an experimental methodology to investigate the dynamics under shear flow of a drop that is gelling as a consequence of a temperature quench. The experiments were carried out on the system water/gellan/kappa-carrageenan in the biphasic region of the phase diagram, the gellan-rich phase being used as the dispersed phase. Gelation was brought about by lowering the temperature during flow after steady state drop deformation had been reached. Simple shear flow was applied by using a parallel plate apparatus equipped with optical microscopy and image analysis, which made it possible to monitor drop shape evolution before, during, and after gelation. The onset of gelation trapped drop deformation, thus producing anisotropic particles. The fingerprint of gelation was the simultaneous tumbling of the drops, which rotated as rigid ellipsoids under the action of shear flow. Interfacial tension between the two equilibrium phases was determined at different times during the temperature quench by analyzing drop retraction upon cessation of flow. Up to gelation, no significant change was observed in the measured values.     

Using particle tracking to probe the local dynamics of barley β-glucan solutions upon gelation

The sol-gel transition of aqueous barley β-glucan solutions which undergo gelation with ageing has been studied by conventional bulk rheology, phase contrast microscopy and particle tracking microrheology. Characterisation of the primary structure of the β-glucan isolate was carried out by enzymic methods and HPLC. The Brownian diffusion of fluorescent microspheres (0.75 μm diameter, carboxylate-coated particles) was used to probe the spatial mechanical properties of the gelling systems at the scale of microns; the potential use of passive particle tracking to study biopolymer gelling systems that present spatial heterogeneities is thus explored. For the β-glucan gels cured at 25°C both microrheology and bulk rheology revealed that with increasing the polysaccharide concentration the gelation time decreased, while the gelation rate and gel strength of the barley β-glucan gels increased. The particle tracking method had higher sensitivity and could map molecular ordering and structural heterogeneities in the evolving polysaccharide network at a micro-level. That is, different size pores were generated upon ageing with regions of depleted or less amount of β-glucan molecules. Furthermore, this method could detect changes in the fine structure of the system before such events can be registered by bulk rheological measurements; i.e. microheterogeneity and aggregation of β-glucan chains were revealed by particle tracking at earlier temporal stages of the experiment.     

流变学法研究部分水解聚丙烯酰胺/Cr(III)交联反应I.浓度的影响

采用流变学法系统地考察了部分水解聚丙烯酰胺（HPAM）/Cr(III)交联体系的 反应动力学。HPAM溶液的粘性模量G”大于弹性模量G’,且其数值随时间不发生变 化,体系为粘性溶液。而HPAM/Cr(III)体系的G’和G”的数值都随时间变化,G” 在反应开始阶段大于G’,当反应进行一段时间后,G’超过G”占据主要地位,体 系成为弹性体系。交联过程可分为三个阶段：第一上升阶段,平缓上升阶段和第二 上升阶段。利用G’～ t曲线可以推测反应机理。实验发现成胶速率随反应物HPAM 和Cr(III)的浓度的增加而增加,而成胶时间缩短。在羧基浓度过量的情况下,交 联反应对Cr(III)浓度的反应级数是1。凝胶的有效弹性交联密度随聚合物浓度的增 加而增,且随凝胶反应的进行而增加。凝胶的交联点间的平均分子量随Cr(III)浓 度的增加和交联反应的进行而下降。     

用荧光光谱跟踪钙-海藻酸水溶液的Sol-gel转变

Application of transmission diffusing wave spectroscopy to the study of gelation of milk by acidification and rennet

Transmission diffusing wave spectroscopy has been used to study and compare three milk gelling systems (acid gelation of heated and unheated milks and rennet coagulation of unheated milk). In all cases, DWS was able to demonstrate the point of gelation as indicated by a rapid increase in particle size, as well as the small decreases in casein micelle radius attributed to the collapse or removal of the hairy kappa-casein layer. More importantly, the photon transport mean free path (l(*)) was measured. This parameter is unique to transmission DWS and can potentially give information about developing microstructures and the mechanical properties between different types of gels. The values of l(*) changed during the gelation processes, and these changes were manifested earlier than any change in particle aggregation or rheology of the systems. All three different gelling systems showed different changes in l(*) with time, showing the development of different interactions as the acidification or renneting reactions proceeded. Although a full analysis of the l(*) parameter and its changes cannot be made, it is concluded that they can provide important information on the pre-gelation states of aggregating systems.     

DYE LASER INTRACAVITY ABSORPTION AS AN OPTICAL PROBE IN CONDENSED PHASE AND BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS

Abstract— A sensitive optical method to monitor local environmental changes in biological systems is described. It utilizes the high optical amplification typical to any dye laser cavity by installing the investigated system inside the laser resonator. Very small changes in the optical density of a probe dye can be detected and related to the dye's state of aggregation or in another demonstration to its adsorption on differently charged micelles and liposomes. When further developed, this technique can prove to be a very sensitive method to measure membrane potentials, changes in molecular environment and molecular dynamics. The pulsed laser used is advantageous to a continuous source used in fluorescence and absorption methods reducing photodynamic damage.     

Topology evolution and gelation mechanism of agarose gel

Kinetics as well as the evolution of the agarose gel topology is discussed, and the agarose gelation mechanism is identified. Aqueous high melting (HM) agarose solution (0.5% w/v) is used as the model system. It is found that the gelation process can be clearly divided into three stages: induction stage, gelation stage, and pseudoequilibrium stage. The induction stage of the gelation mechanism is identified using an advanced rheological expansion system (ARES, Rheometric Scientific). When a quench rate as large as 30 deg C/min is applied, gelation seems to occur through a nucleation and growth mechanism with a well-defined induction time (time required for the formation of the critical nuclei which enable further growth). The relationship between the induction time and the driving force which is determined by the final setting temperature follows the 3D nucleation model. A schematic representation of the three stages of the gelation mechanism is given based on turbidity and rheological measurements. Aggregation of agarose chains is promoted in the polymer-rich phase and this effect is evident from the increasing mass/length ratio of the fiber bundles upon gelation. Continuously increasing pore size during gelation may be attributed to the coagulation of the local polymer-rich phase in order to achieve the global minimum of the free energy of the gelling system. The gel pore size determined using turbidity measurements has been verified by electrophoretic mobility measurements.

Characteristic changes in the fluorescence spectra of 1-naphthol at the gelation point during the sol-gel-xerogel transitions

The fluorescence spectra of 1-naphthol were observed during the sol-gel-xerogel transitions of two different systems as a function of time; one is in the silicon and titanium (Si:Ti = 4500:1) binary systems involving no catalysts and the silicon and lithium (Si:Li = 99:1) binary systems involving HC1 as the catalyst. During the first stage of the sol-gel reaction of the 1-naphthol system, the fluorescence spectra mainly originated from the broad ’L₂ state. The fluorescence spectrum originating from the anionic species at around 470 nm increased as the reaction proceeded. It was found that the fluorescence spectra originating from the anionic species of 1-naphthol drastically decreased in both systems just after gelation. These findings indicate that it becomes difficult for the dissociation of the excited state of 1-naphthol to give a dissociative proton to the surrounding matrix. The fluorescence-excitation spectra for the Si/Ti system indicated that the main route for the excited state of 1-naphthol to form a dissociative proton is through the excited state of the contact ion pair, while the main route in the Si/Li system is via the direct excitation of the neutral 1-naphthol and its dissociation. The observed changes in the fluorescence spectra of 1-naphthol in these sol-gel systems provide a sensitive means to monitor changes during the sol-gel transition process.
