Intrinsic viscosity determination by 'single-point' and 'double-point' equations
Appl. Rheol. 19:5 (2009) 53347 (6 pages)
►
"Single-point" equations used for intrinsic viscosity determination are greatly used when working with synthetic polymer
solution systems. In this work we have applied them to a biological macromolecule in a bovine serum albumin (BSA)/water
system. Almost all single-point equations are available and errors can be lowered. However, we have detected a systematic
bias in the estimations provided by "single-point" methods. To overcome it we propose a "double-point" method which gives
lower estimation errors for this system. This novel method is not system specific and could be applied to other polymeric solution.

Influence of test times on creep and recovery behaviour of Xanthan gum hydrogels
Appl. Rheol. 19:3 (2009) 34201 (8 pages)
►
Rheological creep and recovery tests have been applied at different assay times to xanthan gum hydrogels at
several concentrations. The Burger model has been successfully applied to fit the creep data and to analyze
results. Increasing the xanthan gum concentration also increases the elastic and viscous components without
changing the molecular distribution of these hydrogels. A semi-empirical equation considering the different elements
of the Burger model has been proposed to analyze compliance behavior in recovery tests. The dependence
of the relative contribution to deformation of the Maxwell and Kelvin-Voigt units upon xanthan gum concentration
and recovery assay times has been evaluated. Since the recovery ratio is the same for all hydrogels,
we suggest parallel structures with no mutual interactions are formed when increasing concentration.
