2. 1. Extensional rheometry through hyperbolic contraction

   Author : Magda Nyström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dysphagia; Boger fluid; hyperbolic contraction flow; extensional rheology; axisymmetric contraction–expansion; numerical simulation; Viscoelastic fluid; pressure drop;

   Abstract : To understand fluid rheology, properties such as consistency and viscosity are determined in both shear and extensional flow. Many commonly-used materials and formulations exhibit complex rheological properties and in order to determine the behaviour as well as predict and govern their properties, effective and reliable characterisation of these fluids is important.

4. 2. Rheological Properties of Microfibrillated Cellulose

   Author : Tobias Moberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; rheological properties; creep; Extensional viscosity; Microfibrillated cellulose; suspensions; ;

   Abstract : Cellulose has for a long time been used by man. It is renewable and an easily recyclable resource. Mostly it has been used in either its native form as wood or in the form of fibres. READ MORE

5. 3. Foaming of cellulose derivatives and hemicellulose-containing materials

   Author : Kristina Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; β-glucan; arabinoxylan; scale-up production; hydroxypropyl methylcellulose HPMC ; ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose EHEC ; hot-mould foaming; extensional viscosity; extrusion; hemicellulose; rheological characterisation; Foaming; xylan; cellulose derivatives;

   Abstract : Fossil-based polymeric foams are important materials due to their good mechanical properties relative their low density, the low price and the possibility for large-scale production. They are widely used in cushioning, absorbing and insulation applications. There are however a few disadvantages with these foamed products. READ MORE

6. 4. Assessment of human swallowing using in-vivo and in-vitro approaches

   Author : Muhammad Waqas; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; in-vitro manometery; In-vitro simulations; In-vivo analysis; microstructure analysis; extensional rheology; dysphagia; Ultrasound viscometry; Bolus Rheology;

   Abstract : Texture modification is the most vital strategy to manage dysphagia: a condition in which food and beverages are difficult to swallow. Typically thickeners in the form of starch or gums are added to the food to increase the viscosity and thereby reduce the speed of bolus flow. READ MORE

7. 5. Rheological and mechanical properties of systems containing nanocellulose

   Author : Tobias Moberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Shear rheology; Cellulose nanocrystals; Cellulose nanofibrils; Mechanical properties; Dynamic-mechanical analysis; Composites; Extensional rheology;

   Abstract : Nanocellulose is a cellulose entity at the nanoscale. There are several different types of nanocellulose such as cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), which are long, somewhat flexible fibrils and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), which are shorter and more rod-like particles. READ MORE
