© Appl. Rheol. 20 (2010) 63293 DOI: 10.3933/ApplRheol-20-63293 Abstract: Bitumen is undoubtedly the most important material in the construction and rehabilitation of flexible road pavements. By increasing the temperature, bitumen changes from brittle solid, to viscoelastic solid and finally to Newtonian fluid. The rheological characteristics of bitumen also vary greatly due to aging, which is a...

• Blood has been recognized as a non-Newtonian fluid for many years. Only recently' have the rheological properties of blood been studied under shear rates near zero flow. These studies have suggested that the viscosity of blood increases indefinitely as the shear rate approaches zero. The problem of blood rheology under very low shear rates seemed to us worthy of further investigation, because...

The rheological behaviour of pulsed electric field (PEF) processed and thermally pasteurised mango nectar (Mangifera indica) was evaluated using controlled stress rheometer. The mango nectar was subjected to pulsed electric field (PEF) as well as thermal processing. The rheological parameter shear stress was measured up to the shear rate of 750 s -1 using co-axial cylinder attachment at wide ra...

Viscosity was tested of basic ointment vehicles such as: white petrolatum, yellow petrolatum, anhydrous lanolin and eucerin produced by different manufacturers. Ointment vehicles of definite type differ significantly in rheological parameters. In the same group of products, the experimentally determined viscosity value of some vehicles is two-fold (petrolatum, anhydrous lanolin) or even three-f...
