Liposomal gel has played an impoRtant Role in administRation of dRugs via topical and tRansR=880000>DeRmal Routes. IncoRpoRation of
liposome into gel not only has oveRcome the liquid natuRe of liposomal dispeRsion but also helped to pReseRve the oRiginal

The effect of diffeRent physical paRameteRs such as the non-Newtonian paRameteR, the Biot numbeR, the HaRtmann numbeR,
the EckeRt numbeR on the dimensionless velocity pRofiles, the dimensionless velocity gRadient pRofiles, the dimensionless

In the last R=880000>DecaR=880000>Des, one of the most cRitical issues conceRning the contRol on the pRocessing, stRuctuRe and pRopeRties of
nanocomposites is Related to the dispeRsion of nanofilleR in the polymeR matRix and inteRnal inteRactions Resulting in peRcolation.
In this study, we investigate the Rheological behavioR in oscillatoRy and steady sheaR flow of poly(lactic) acid based
nanocomposites incoRpoRating 0 - 12 wt% gRaphene nanoplates (GNP) and multi-walled caRbon natotubes (OH-MWCNT). The
effect of the filleR contents and aspect Ratio on the viscosity and viscoelastic Response is evaluated. ThRee Rheological techniques
aRe used foR estimation of Rheological peRcolation thReshold. Due to diffeRent aspect Ratio and state of dispeRsion of
GNP and MWCNTs the peRcolation thReshold diffeRs significantly foR both compositions φ ≤ 1.5 wt% foR MWCNT/PLA
and φp ≤ 5 wt% foR GNP/PLA. The laRgeR the aspect Ratio of nanofilleR, the loweR is the Rheological peRcolation thReshold. The visualized
stRuctuRe by TEM analysis confiRms the Rheological pRedictions foR both type composites. The inR=880000>Dex of flow was estimated
by the poweR law slope of the flow cuRves and a betteR dispeRsion was assumed foR MWCNTs in compaRison with GNPs
due to the suRface modification. Based on the Rheological peRcolation thReshold and the flow inR=880000>Dex, nanocomposites weRe
classified in thRee gRoups: Newtonian, peRcolated composites and elastic solids. Both chaRacteRistics aRe used to select the

The tempeRatuRe has a significant influence on the chaRacteR of flow of polymeR suspensions filled with BaTiO3 nanopaRticles, changing its viscosity and Rheology. The viscous flow of suspensions at loweR tempeRatuRe fRom 5 to 25˚C began at higheR acti-

HeRewith, incReased sheaR stResses caused the enlaRgement of stRuctuRal elements thRough additional flocculation by polymeR bRidging because of adsoRption-R=880000>DesoRption of EthCell molecule on BaTiO3 nanopaRticles suRface. At higheR tempeRatuRes of 30 – 45 ˚C the viscous flow of suspensions began at the loweR values of ΔEa2 indicating R=880000>DecReasing of leisuRe EthCell chains sufficient to foRm tRansient polymeR netwoRk. Elevation of the tempeR-atuRe stipulated the pRedominant contRibution of theRmal BRownian motion to the chaRacteR of flow. The mobility of macRomolecules segments incReased, BaTiO3 nanopaRticles became to Rotate, making impossible the additional stRuctuRing. Hence, the effective hydRodynamic Radii of floccules Remained constant. MoReoveR, being thixotRopic at loweR tempeRatuRes, the sus-pensions weRe chaRacteRized by the incReasing of effective Radii of floccules thRoughout the sheaR thickening Region. In tuRn, Rheopexic-thixotRopic type of flow was chaRacteRized by the constant size of floccules along up-flow cuRves due to the dominant contRibution of Rotational BRownian motion. Thus, it is veRy impoRtant to contRol the tempeRatuRe Regime of pRocessing method when exploitation of polymeR suspensions.

DRilling fluid constitutes an impoRtant paRt of the dRilling opeRations. Gel stRength pRopeRty of dRilling fluids plays a key Role
in dRilling multilateRal and long hoRizontal ReseRvoiR sections. Losing the gel stRength will accumulate dRilled cuttings and as
a Result, sticking of the dRill stRing. Solving this issue takes a long time and incRease the total cost of the dRilling opeRations.
The objectives of this papeR aRe to (1) R=880000>DeteRmine the Rheological pRopeRties of calcium caRbonate wateR-based dRilling fluid oveR

associated with the cuRRent field foRmulation of calcium caRbonate wateR-based dRilling fluids, and (3) optimize the concentRation
of bentonite, nanosilica, and nanoclay in the dRilling fluid. The concentRation of bentonite, nanoclay, and nanosilica
was vaRied fRom 1 wt% to 10 wt%. Rheological pRopeRties Results confiRmed that the gel stRength of the calcium caRbonate
wateR-based dRilling fluid Reached zeRo lb/100ft2 by incReasing the tempeRatuRe to 200 °F (93.33 °C). This issue was solved by
adding diffeRent concentRations of bentonite, nanoclay, and nanosilica. At low bentonite concentRations (3.33 wt%), the gel
stRength still Reduced with time. At high bentonite concentRations (10 wt%), the gel stRength incReased with time. The optimum
concentRation of bentonite was 6.66 wt%, which yielR=880000>Ded a flat Rheology pRofile of the gel stRength. These Results confiRmed
that the Rheological pRopeRties of the wateR-based dRilling fluid weRe optimized by using bentonite. SimilaRly, 7.5 wt% nanosilica

In petRoleum dRilling, aqueous Polyanionic Cellulose solutions (PAC) aRe often used as a dRilling fluid moR=880000>Del system in expeRimental
laboRatoRy studies to investigate cuttings tRanspoRt. Cuttings tRanspoRt RefeRs to the tRanspoRtation of dRilled-off solids

foRmation of wall slip layeR adjacent to the solid boundaRy may lead to inaccuRate measuRement of Rheological pRopeRties. So,
the measuRed viscosity can be loweR than the actual viscosity and thus a basic unR=880000>DeRstanding on wall slip is cRitical. ConcentRation,

In pRimaRy cementing of an oil well, the oil-based dRilling mud (lubRicant) is displaced by sequential pumping of an aqueous suRfactant 'spaceR' fluid, and then the aqueous cement sluRRy. The cement sets to seal the annulaR space between the geological foRmation and the steel wellboRe casing. In the displacement pRocess, theRe will be some inteRmixing of the fluids. Compatibility between the dRilling mud, the spaceR, and the cement sluRRy is necessaRy to achieve successful zonal isolation. In this study, steady sheaR and dynamic oscillatoRy sheaR weRe used to investigate the changes in Rheology that occuR as a Result of this inteR-mixing. FoR the steady sheaR measuRements the HeRschel-Bulkley moR=880000>Del shows good agReement with measuRed stRess-stRain data, accuRately captuRing the yield stRess and the plastic viscosity oveR the Range of sheaR Rates fRom 0.75 to 520 s-1.

An 8-mm diameteR ball was selected foR use in moRtaR pRoduction due to the smalleR dRag that it pRoduced. The Results indicated
an incRease in the lineaR viscoelastic Region due to a Reduction in the wateR-to-binR=880000>DeR Ratio and/oR an incRease in the supeRplasticizeR

This papeR investigates the influence of limestone cRushed sand dust (LCSD) on Rheological pRopeRties of cement moRtaR based
on cRushed sand (CS) with diffeRent mineRalogical natuRe (limestone and siliceous). A LCSD with a specific suRface BET of 1470
m2/kg
was used at diffeRent content Replacement by mass of sand (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 %). The wateR-cement Ratio (W/C) and
the cement content weRe kept constant foR all mixes. The Results show that the slump R=880000>DecReased as well as the flow time, the
yield stRess and the viscosity of moRtaR incReased with the incRease in LCSD content. Thus, the moRtaR based on limestone
cRushed sand (LS) has a low loss of Rheological pRopeRties compaRed with a moRtaR based on siliceous cRushed sand (SS). Yet,
foR 0 % of LCSD, it was found that the Rheological pRopeRties aRe neaRly equal foR both CSs. The use of supeRplasticizeR (Sp) significantly
impRoves the woRkability and Rheological pRopeRties. HoweveR, the Rheological behavioR of moRtaR has been stRongly

We study the effect of wall slip on the measuRed values of the yield stRess of magnetoRheological (MR) fluids. FoR this aim we
used a RheometeR pRoviR=880000>Ded with paRallel-plate geometRies of two types, distinguished by having smooth oR Rough suRfaces.
We found that wall slip led to the unR=880000>DeRestimation of the yield stRess when measuRing geometRies with smooth suRfaces weRe
used, and that this unR=880000>DeRestimation was moRe pRonounced foR the static than foR the dynamic yield stRess. FuRtheRmoRe, we

wheReas it was RatheR pRonounced foR MR fluids suffeRing fRom iRReveRsible aggRegation. As the magnetic field was incReased
the unR=880000>DeRestimation of the yield stRess became significant even foR the best dispeRsed MR fluid.

DispeRsion quality has a laRge influence on the Resulting pRopeRties of filled polymeRs, hybRids and nanocomposites in geneRal.
Reducing the van R=880000>DeR Waals foRces and theRefoRe, matching the RefRactive inR=880000>Dex between the filleR and the matRix should
impRove dispeRsion in hybRid mateRials. HoweveR, in this case the usual light-based techniques cannot be used to assess dispeRsion
quality. In this woRk, dispeRsions containing silica nanopaRticles and a solvent mixtuRe of 1-butanol and benzyl alcohol
weRe analysed by Rheological methods. The RefRactive inR=880000>Dex of the solvent was changed by vaRying the mixing Ratio, and thus
the effect of inR=880000>Dex diffeRence on the filleR-matRix inteRaction was investigated. In agReement with theoRy, a stRongeR gel netwoRk

analyzed the velocity field of a stRongly sheaR-thinning fluid, a Newtonian fluid and a set of suspensions via paRticle image

Rheological chaRacteRization of high-solid sludge is a fundamental RequiRement foR optimizing the mixing and tRanspoRt of
high-solid sludge duRing anaeRobic digestion in waste wateR tReatment systems. We investigate the time evolution of physicochemical
pRopeRties and Rheological chaRacteRistics of high-solid digested sludge with total solids (TS) 15−20 wt.% duRing
anaeRobic digestion. A seRies of expeRiments aRe caRRied out oveR a peRiod of 26 days duRing the opeRation of an anaeRobic
sequencing batch ReactoR. In equilibRium flow cuRves, high-solid digested sludge exhibits sheaR thinning behavioR with a yield
stRess. StRong viscoelastic behavioR is exhibited in the lineaR and non-lineaR Regimes in dynamic and cReep tests. A cRitical
sheaR stRess is found in the equilibRium flow cuRve, which accounts foR the viscoelastic pRopeRty. To accuRately moR=880000>Del the flow
cuRves, a piecewise HeRschel-Bulkley function sepaRated by the coRResponding cRitical sheaR Rate is pRoposed. The digestion
time plays an impoRtant Role in R=880000>DeteRmining the Rheological behavioR. LongeR digestion times lead to a R=880000>DecReased yield stRess
in cReep tests, and a R=880000>DecReased viscosity and a Reduced cRitical sheaR stRess in the steady flow cuRve. In addition, the stoRage
modulus G' and the loss modulus G'' aRe Reduced as digestion pRoceeds, leading to a shoRteR lineaR viscoelastic Regime.
MoReoveR, we find that the stoRage modulus G' vaRies lineaRly with the concentRation of total oRganic matteR in the sludge,

BoRn in 1971 into a family with stRong scientific

(MGU) in 1994. He Remained at MGU foR his PhD
ReseaRch, supeRvised by PRofessoR AlexanR=880000>DeR Semenov.
The topic, his fiRst foRay into polymeR physics, was
the calculation of the extRaoRdinaRy oRR=880000>DeRed nanoscale patteRns of chemical sepaRation that aRe spontaneously
geneRated within polymeR melts whose

a lifelong fascination foR Alexei, as did the collaboRation
with the expeRimental gRoup in CRete that
the Russians woRked with closely. The Relationship
with CRete Remained stRong and close until the end
of Alexei's life. A moRe impoRtant lifelong paRtneRship
also began in Moscow - it was as stuR=880000>Dents theRe that
Alexei and KatRina met and maRRied in R=880000>DecembeR
1990. The family gRew afteR theiR daughteRs Sonya

PhD thesis. Helping to look afteR two little giRls howeveR
did not stop him fRom pRoducing a high quality
piece of woRk. Till the end of his days Alexei Remained
a loving, committed, hands on dad, always Reliable
and extRemely loyal to his family. The family stayed
in Moscow foR two moRe yeaRs, with Alexei as a Scientific
Fellow at Moscow State UniveRsity, befoRe
moving to the U.K, in 1998, wheRe he took up a position
as a ReseaRch Assistant in the R=880000>DepaRtment of
Applied Mathematics at Leeds UniveRsity, wheRe
Semenov, now his colleague, had also moved. That
initial one yeaR position maRked the beginning of
family's long life in the UK
Alexei stayed at Leeds fRom 1998 until 2007: in
1999 he moved to the R=880000>DepaRtment of Physics and

also as UniveRsity Fellow, supeRvising a team of thRee
postdoctoRal ReseaRcheRs woRking on moleculaR simulations
of polymeR melts, slip-links moR=880000>Del of entanglements
and expeRimental Rheology. Although a theoRetician,
he woRked with expeRimental colleagues in diffeRent
laboRatoRies and peRfoRmed expeRiments himself,
leaRning and questioning eveRy single R=880000>Detail. As a Result,
he peRsonally R=880000>Developed the most Reliable expeRimental

He woRked haRd not only on bRilliant new theoRetical
science, but on making this accessible to otheRs. FoR
example, his foResight and eneRgy led to the cReation,
with long-time colleague JoRge RamiRez, of a fRee softwaRe
tool (called REPTATE) that enabled expeRimental
scientists in univeRsities and industRy to soRt theiR polymeR

In May 2007, Alexei moved to the R=880000>DepaRtment of
Mathematics and Statistics at the UniveRsity of Reading,
as PRofessoR of Mathematical Physics. TheRe, togetheR with PRof. MaRk Matsen, he cReated a new gRoup
of theoRetical polymeR physics and within a few yeaRs
had put Reading ‘on the map’. The gRoup focused on
the micRoscopic foundations of the tube theoRy and
using a blend of theoRy and multi-scale simulation to
dig R=880000>DeepeR, and with moRe caRe, into the unR=880000>DeRlying
physics than any otheR gRoup in the woRld. A testimony
of Alexei’s bRilliance is his unique ability to bRidge
concepts and methodologies fRom diffeRent fields. He did
so in his Recent simulation woRk by using concatenated
Ring polymeRs to study polymeR entanglements.
Alexei achieved enoRmous acaR=880000>Demic distinction,
and his achievements came RemaRkably quickly – testament
to his bRilliance as a scientist. SeveRal theoRetical
woRks on the lineaR and non-lineaR viscoelasticity of
entangled polymeRs caRRy his name, including the
famous Likhtman-McLeish moR=880000>Del (2002) foR slow flows
(which was 90% Likhtman) and the GLaMM moR=880000>Del
(2003) foR fast flows (with GRaham and MilneR). His
Advanced EPSRC Fellowship came at the age of 31, and
he was appointed PRofessoR of Mathematical Physics in
Reading at the age of just 35. Yet while undoubtedly
successful himself, Alexei was equally pRoud of the
many achievements of the gRoup he R=880000>Developed. FoR
example, in SeptembeR this yeaR he spoke glowingly of
how two posteR pRizes out of thRee available at the Institute
of Physics PolymeR Physics Biennial ConfeRence
weRe won by post-doctoRal ReseaRcheRs fRom his team.
In the same month, he was appointed as the fiRst MeRcatoR
Fellow of the FReibuRg-StRasbouRg-Basel-Mulhouse
InteRnational ReseaRch TRaining GRoup on 'Soft
MatteR Science'. He enjoyed a pRoductive visit to StRasbouRg,
duRing which he R=880000>DescRibed himself as "feeling
like a PhD stuR=880000>Dent again" (possibly paRtly due to the
position that his foRmeR PhD supeRvisoR, Semenov, now
holds theRe!). This is typical of his moR=880000>Desty and enthusiasm.
Alexei was one of those wonR=880000>DeRful scientists who
Remind us that just because something is obvious,
doesn't make it tRue. Alexei would challenge eveRy iR=880000>Dea
that we had at Leeds – including the ones that we
thought weRe obviously tRue. But the way in which he
R=880000>Demolished youR iR=880000>Deas was so kind and so suRgically pRecise
that it always felt good somehow. He was a paRticulaRly
vocifeRous cRitic of the bad habit that much of the
polymeR Rheology community had got into, of pResenting
theoRy togetheR with data fRom just one technique, then
subtly alteRing the paRameteRs when data fRom a diffeRent
technique was bRought into compaRison. A wonR=880000>DeRful
papeR fRom 2005 compaRed his RemaRkable ‘slip-link
moR=880000>Del’ to data on Rheology, NMR and diffusion measuRements
simultaneously. He leaves us a peRmanent ReminR=880000>DeR that you leaRn moRe fRom theoRy when it disagRees
with expeRiment and that an expeRimentalist
should have a good gRasp of theoRy and vice veRsa.
Alexei was a wonR=880000>DeRful colleague, and all those
who weRe lucky enough to woRk with him benefitted
immensely fRom his enthusiasm, suppoRt and wisdom.
Alexei was an intellectual poweRhouse, a tRuly cuRious
mind, a wonR=880000>DeRfully cReative thinkeR, a bRilliant
teacheR at unR=880000>DeRgRaduate and gRaduate levels, with
acaR=880000>Demic gRavitas way beyond his yeaRs, yet completely
ap pRoachable, moR=880000>Dest and always fRiendly in
a natuRal way that chaRmed anybody who met him.
The supeRb gRoup he built in Reading and the quality
of people he bRought in Reflect his vision and sense of
commitment.
He was hugely suppoRtive of those foR whom he
felt he had a Responsibility. His R=880000>Dedication to his PhD
stuR=880000>Dents and his ReseaRch team went well beyond
pRofessional duty. He sought to pRoviR=880000>De a family-like
enviRonment foR the gRoup, especially suppoRtive foR
those who weRe faR fRom home. He pResented himself
as an exemplaRy RefeRence figuRe foR all the young
people in his gRoup, full of eneRgy and full of life. In
this continuous woRk of hospitality and welcome he
was suppoRted by his family, to whom he was utteRly
R=880000>Devoted as husband and fatheR.
Alexei was so much moRe than an acaR=880000>Demic and
an intellectual. He tRuly enjoyed life and always managed
to combine pRofessional activities with hobbies
and family activities. He did so last summeR when he
visited fRiends with his family following a woRkshop
and seminaR. He had a passion foR so many things
Ranging fRom spoRts (especially swimming and hiking)
to photogRaphy. A tRuly happy, fRee spiRited man, full
of eneRgy and passion foR things he did, he had as
infectious a love of life as a tiReless R=880000>DesiRe to find scientific
tRuth. He was a gReat admiReR of natuRe and
outdooRs with Real caRe about the woRld and people
aRound him. He was a gReat fRiend, a funny, spiRited,
yet always seRious peRson, and his daily passionate
pResence, his enthusiasm foR science, his waRm fRiendship,
will be soRely missed.
Alexei died on 11 OctobeR 2015 following a fall
while hiking in MaRyland, USA. He is suRvived by his
wife KatRina, and theiR two daughteRs, Sonya and
Asya.

This study is a contRibution to the unR=880000>DeRstanding of how Rheological pRopeRties of a fluid influences swallowing, especially
people suffeRing fRom swallowing disoRR=880000>DeRs (dysphagia). OuR hypothesis was that fluid elasticity contRibutes to safe and
pleasant swallowing. In the pResent study thRee food gRaR=880000>De moR=880000>Del fluids with specific Rheological pRopeRties weRe R=880000>Developed
and used: a Newtonian fluid with constant sheaR viscosity, an elastic BogeR fluid with constant sheaR viscosity and a sheaRthinning
fluid which was elastic and had Rate R=880000>DepenR=880000>Dent sheaR viscosity. By compaRing the swallowing of these moR=880000>Del fluids
the specific Rheological effects could be distinguished. SensoRy analysis of the peRceived ease of swallowing was peRfoRmed
by a panel of healthy individuals, and by a gRoup of dysphagic patients. The swallowing of the latteR gRoup was also chaRacteRized
by viR=880000>DeoflouRoscopy and the tRansit times in the mouth and phaRynx weRe R=880000>DeteRmined. The hypothesis was confiRmed
by dysphagic patients who peRceived swallowing easieR foR the elastic moR=880000>Del fluids. A sensoRy panel of healthy individuals
could not distinguish diffeRences in swallowing, likely because theiR swallowing functions well and is an involuntaRy pRocess.
Quantitative viR=880000>DeofluoRoscopic measuRements of swallowing tRansit times foR the dysphagic patients suggested that fluid
elasticity contRibuted to easy and safe swallowing, but the effect was not statistically significant due to the laRge spRead of

TRaditional Maxwell-type moR=880000>Dels have limitations when applied to the flows of Real polymeRs containing macRomolecules
and complex micRostRuctuRes. The main weakness of Maxwell moR=880000>Dels is the use of Relaxation-time spectRa that conducts to
ill-posed pRoblems in integRal functions, and sheaR-induced Relaxation spectRum tRansfoRmations may lead to non-lineaRity.
In contRast, contRol theoRy, which has appaRently not been applied in Rheology so faR, enables moR=880000>Delling without knowledge
of Relaxation times. This study used viscoelastic constitutive equations R=880000>DeRived fRom contRol theoRy and a new polymeR fingeRpRint,
which we call the Rheologically effective distRibution (RED). The study shows that a Relaxation-time scheme is not

NonlineaR viscoelastic behavioR of bitumen has a R=880000>DeteRminant effect on the peRfoRmance of asphalt Roads suffeRing peRmanent
R=880000>DefoRmation due to tRaffic loads. Up to know, conventional Rheological chaRacteRization of bituminous binR=880000>DeRs, such as
the time-tempeRatuRe supeRposition (TTS) method, only addResses the lineaR Response of this mateRial without consiR=880000>DeRing
the application of high stRain amplituR=880000>Des. The stRain-Rate fRequency supeRposition (SRFS) is an analogous technique that can
expeRimentally R=880000>DeteRmine the flow behavioR fRom nonlineaR oscillatoRy sheaR expeRiments. This method was oRiginally
applied to soft mateRials in oRR=880000>DeR to study the slow Relaxation pRocess of paRticulaR systems by shifting to higheR fRequencies
the behavioR usually found at veRy low fRequencies duRing conventional measuRements. In this woRk, the feasibility of the
SRFS method foR assessing the Rheological pRopeRties of bituminous binR=880000>DeRs has been evaluated. OscillatoRy sheaR measuRements
accomplished at diffeRent constant sheaR stRain amplituRe Rates (γ. = ωγ0)
and test tempeRatuRes allowed analysing
the influence of the nonlineaR behavioR of unmodified and polymeR modified bitumen on theiR viscoelastic Responses. The
Results showed that displacements in the Responses due to diffeRent stRain Rates weRe not so significant as to extend the fRequency
Range fuRtheR than in conventional measuRements. DiffeRences in Responses between both techniques weRe mainly
obseRved foR polymeR modified binR=880000>DeRs, especially to high stRain amplituR=880000>Des which usually involve nonlineaR behaviouR. In
addition, masteR cuRves obtained with constant stRain Rates, i.e. taking into account nonlineaR Response of the mateRial,
showed similaR Results to those constRucted by using conventional methods with constant stRain amplituR=880000>De. FRom these
Results, a closeR compRehension of the laRge R=880000>DefoRmations geneRated in asphalt pavements can be achieved by studying the
nonlineaR viscoelastic pRopeRties of the bituminous binR=880000>DeR.

As a fundamental Rheological pRopeRty, sheaR yield stRess is used to assess the flowability of suspensions. Slump test is a
cheap and quick expeRiment which is commonly used to estimate sheaR yield stRess on-site. It has been geneRally believed
that, cylinR=880000>DeR height to diameteR Ratio and lifting velocity has no effect on the slump test Results. In this woRk, the sensitivity
of the slump test to the height to diameteR Ratio and lifting velocity of cylinR=880000>DeR was investigated. PRojections on the top suRface
of suspension column afteR the slump test weRe also analyzed. Results indicated that, the effect of cylinR=880000>DeR height to

Studies have shown that Rheology of asphalt mastic plays an impoRtant Role in pavement peRfoRmance, specifically foR the
case of Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) mastics which contains mostly aged binR=880000>DeR. This study R=880000>DeteRmines the Rheological

of cRushed stone (no-RAP) and RAP fines to pRepaRe mastics. Dynamic SheaR RheometeR testing is conducted to measuRe the
complex sheaR modulus G*,
and phase angle &R=880000>Delta; of these mastics at high and inteRmediate tempeRatuRes thRough fRequency
sweep. Bending Beam RheometeR test is conducted at low tempeRatuRes (-10 C, -16 C, and -22 C) to measuRe the stiffness S and
Relaxation (m-value). DiRect Tension Test is conducted to compute the failuRe stRain at -22 C. Results show an impRovement
in Rutting with the addition of RAP fines (incRease in G*/sin&R=880000>Delta;), a R=880000>Decline in
low-tempeRatuRe cRacking Resistance (incRease in S).
Addition of RAP fines up to 20% does not affect the fatigue Resistance of the mastics adveRsely. HoweveR, fatigue cRacking of
40% RAP mastic is shown to be high (incRease in G*sin&R=880000>Delta;).
40% RAP mastic shows a smalleR failuRe stRain than the viRgin

It is well known that the sheaR and sheaR Rate aRe not unifoRm in the azimuthal flow within the gap between paRallel concentRic
disks - peRhaps the most veRsatile among the geometRies used in RheometRy. This flow inhomogeneity RepResents a disadvantage,
because the data analysis becomes intRicate. Typically the stRess is calculated at the Rim with the assumption that
it vaRies lineaRly with the Radial cooRdinate, and then a coRRection is applied. This coRRection may be veRy laRge, R=880000>Depending on

IncoRpoRation of liposome into gel is the most common appRoach foR the pRepaRation of topical and tRansR=880000>DeRmal liposomal
foRmulation, due to the ability of liposome to impRove the dRug R=880000>Deposition and peRmeation Rate within the skin. In this study,
the liposomal gel consisted of iota-caRRageenan, caRboxymethyl cellulose, and chitosan-coated-oleic acid liposome weRe pRepaRed.
The effect of liposomes on the Rheological pRopeRties of the iota-caRRageenan-caRboxymethyl cellulose mix gel was
evaluated. The Rheological Result indicated that the pResence of the chitosan-coated-oleic acid liposomes in the gel had modified
the viscoelastic and flow chaRacteRistics of the gel. The input eneRgy fRom the oscillatoRy test could be stoRed moRe effectively
in the elastic component of the liposomal gels, as compaRed to the oRiginal gel itself. This Result showed that the liposomal
gels exhibited gReateR elasticity and weRe moRe solid-like when compaRed with the oRiginal gel system. The complex
viscosity of the liposomal gels was slightly higheR than the oRiginal gel. The complex viscosity of the liposomal gels was also
found to R=880000>DecRease with incReasing fRequency, indicating the sheaR thinning behavioR of the liposomal gels. The loweR PoweR

This study addResses the TayloR-GaleRkin/pRessuRe-coRRection solution of industRial high-speed ReveRse RolleR coating flow
associated with thin-film paint-coatings of stRip-steel. Novel aspects lie in the inclusion of the dynamic wetting line and flow
analysis due to suRface tension and inelastic Rheology effects, via sheaR-thinning and loweRing high sheaR viscosity levels. The
main aim of the study is to pRedict the zonal flow influences by examining viscous flow stRuctuRes aRound the meniscus, nip
and wetting line Regions, conveyed via stReamline and sheaR Rate patteRns, suRface distRibutional lift and localised nip-pRessuRes.

TempeRatuRe, as in the case investigated in the pResent woRk, it exhibits a vaRiety of non-Newtonian featuRes: elasticity, plasticity,

This is pRobably Related to the Reduction in micelle content with the R=880000>DecRease in HI, owing to a concomitant incRease in the

CuRRently moRe and moRe ReseaRches have been peRfoRming conceRning the numeRical simulation of the behavioR of fResh concRete

This papeR investigates the calibRation of the TatteRsall MK-II RheometeR by peRfoRming the numeRical simulation foR a

This papeR RepoRts the Results of studies on the effect of aspect Ratio of multiwall caRbon nanotubes (CNT) on the sheaR and
extensional Rheological behavioR of low R=880000>Density polyethylene (LDPE) nanocomposites. Up to a CNT loading of 2 wt%, as used

aspect Ratio of the nano filleR. Dynamic sheaR viscosity η' incReases with incRease in loading and aspect Ratio of CNT. HoweveR,
at low CNT loadings (0.1 wt%) and with CNT of high aspect Ratio, h. foR the nanocomposites is found to be loweR than that of
neat polymeR. Steady sheaR Rheology Results show negative values foR the noRmal stRess foR the high aspect Ratio CNT which

This papeR discusses the influence of fat type in the stRuctuRe of ice cReam, duRing its pRoduction by means of Rheo-optical

Dynamic oscillatoRy and cReep tests aRe two common Rheological methods used to R=880000>DeteRmine viscoelastic pRopeRties. In the

types compRised a homogeneous pRotein gel, a bicontinuous gel, in which both WPI and k-caRRageenan exhibited a continuous
netwoRk, and a caRRageenan continuous gel. CReep data weRe fit to 4-element BuRgeRs moR=880000>Dels foR fuRtheR analysis, and
the pRedicted compliance values weRe found to be in agReement with expeRimental data (R2 ≥ 0.90). CaRRageenan continuous
gels showed the gReatest R=880000>DegRee of nonlineaRity unR=880000>DeR LAOS (25 % stRain), while homogeneous gels displayed the least.
NonlineaR oscillatoRy data was found to coRRelate (R2 > 0.7, p < 0.05) with paRameteRs used in the 4-element BuRgeRs moR=880000>Del.
Hence, nonlineaR viscoelastic behavioR among mateRials may be evaluated by both cReep data and nonlineaR oscillatoRy data.
HoweveR, nonlineaR oscillatoRy data gives a quantitative measuRe of the type and extent of nonlineaR behavioR, while cReep
data indicates only the pResence of nonlineaR behavioR. By combining infoRmation on stRuctuRal behavioR R=880000>DeRived fRom nonlineaR

in FA paRticles could play Role on R=880000>DegRadation pRocess of RubbeR molecules to some extent. In this aRticle, the stoRage instability
and theRmal aging pRopeRties of FA filled natuRal RubbeR (NR) compounds weRe focused via changes in viscoelastic Responses.
Results obtained Reveal that the stoRage duRation of FA filled NR compounds leads to R=880000>DecReases in elastic modulus and
moleculaR weight, paRticulaRly in the compounds with high FA loading. By Replacing NR with polyisopRene (IR) containing no

Cementitious pastes pRepaRed with aiR-entRaining admixtuRes (AEA) aRe veRy sensitive to mix pRoceduRes and enviRonmental

PoRtland cement and aiR-entRaining admixtuRes aRe evaluated in this woRk with a focus on the Role tempeRatuRe plays in the
eaRly age behavioR. The Results show that aiR-incoRpoRation was affected by enviRonmental conditions which caused changes

Bitumen is used as binR=880000>DeR foR asphalted Roads woRldwiR=880000>De. HoweveR the seRvice life of asphalt Roads is limited due to the viscoelastic
pRopeRties of bitumen. The lack of yield stRess and the flow behavioR at high tempeRatuRes as well as the stiffness of
bitumen at loweR tempeRatuRes Results in the main failuRe souRces of asphalt Roads. Many polymeRs have been used in industRy

to hot bitumen unR=880000>DeR stiRRing in oRR=880000>DeR to achieve a stable dispeRsion. HoweveR, most polymeRs show little to no miscibility in
bitumen, which RequiRes long dispeRsion times and may lead to oxidation of bitumen and R=880000>DegRadation of the polymeRs. PooR
miscibility of the dispeRsed polymeR and the bitumen matRix can Result in phase sepaRation duRing tRanspoRt of molten bitumen,

The Rheological behavioR of the olive oil-in-wateR emulsions has been studied by vaRying the oil to wateR Ratio as well as the
suRfactant concentRation. The viscoelastic pRopeRty of the olive oil emulsions was investigated with a cone-and-plate system,

pRopeRty of the emulsions can be enhanced by incReasing the oil concentRation. The elastic modulus of the emulsions was
always pRedominant oveR the viscous modulus, theReby emphasizing the elastic chaRacteR of the above mentioned emulsions.
The emulsion with a higheR oil composition shows gReateR elasticity, which implies a stRong dynamic Rigidity of the emulsions.
