Abstract Magnetorheological (MR) elastomers are a class of stimuli-responsive materials which the damping and stiffness can be reversibly tailored by applying magnetic fields. However, concerns such as fatigue damage, insufficient MR efficiencies with low loadings particles or highly crosslinked elastomers, lack reprocessability remain unaddressed for conventional elastomers. To this end, serie...

The 7S and 11S globulins, the main protein fractions found in legumes, may differ functionality. This study evaluated gel formation rheological microstructural properties of gels formed from faba bean. effect adding sodium chloride (NaCl) was also investigated. In terms mechanical properties, NaCl addition appeared to have an opposing on gels. Gels showed increases storage modulus peak stress w...

On the basis of the classical tree statistics, being combined with the lattice theory of a polymer solution, we prove that within the mean-field approximation thermoreversible gelation of polyfunctional molecules is a third order phase transition analogous to the Bose-Einstein condensation of ideal Bose gases. The derivative of the osmotic compressibility with respect to the concentration of pr...
