In road paving industry, asphalt emulsion is used for cold mix application such as chip seal, slurry seal, microsurfacing, cold recycled mixture and etc. Asphalt emulsion has several advantages compared to normal asphalt such as eco-friendly, easy to handle at ambient temperature and energy saving material because it does not need any heating process in its application. The history of asphalt e...

the aim of this work was to investigate the influence of interactions between modified starch (hi-cap 100) and the nonionic surfactant tween 80 on the properties of cardamom oil-in-water emulsion and its corresponding spray dried microcapsules. to this end the mean diameter and size distribution of droplets as well as their polydispersity index and also the viscosity and flow behavior of emulsi...

abstract halwa-ardeh is a traditional food in iran and middle east countries, which is produced by crushing the dehulled sesame seeds and then mixing with a proper sweetener such as grape concentrate, date syrup, and honey. the oil content of this product is on the average of 57-65% (w/w). in this research, the effect of different levels of fat substitutes including guar gum (of 0.1, 0.15 and 0...

emulsion stability, viscoelastic rheological properties and particle size distribution of french dressing samples formulated with two types of commercial modified starch have been investigated. the product’s usual thickening agents, xanthan and guar gum, were 100% substituted by (2, 2.2%) of acetylated distarch adipate (ada) and hydroxypropylated distarch phosphate (hdp) from waxy maize starch....

Being well recognized in repair, rehabilitation and maintenance of concrete structures, polymer modified concretes are new high-performance materials. The present study was focused on the availability and use of polymer-modified concrete under local conditions in Pakistan. Various polymer compositions with subsidiary chemicals were prepared in the laboratory, and their feasibility in the repair...

‎(St-co-BA) polymer through montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposite emulsion is prepared by ‎in situ intercalative emulsion polymerization of styrene (St), butyl acrylate (BA) in the ‎presence of organic modified montmorillonite (OMMT) with different OMMT contents (0, ‎‎0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 wt%). The synthetic compounds are characterized by FTIR, XRD. The ‎nanocomposite emulsions are characterize...

BACKGROUND Perceptions of food products start when flavor compounds are released from foods, transported and appropriate senses in the oral and nose are triggered. However, the long-term stability of flavor compounds in food product has been a major concern in the food industry due to the complex interactions between key food ingredients (e.g., polysaccharides and proteins). Hence, this study w...

Polymer-modified bitumen emulsions present a safer and more environmentally friendly binder for enhancing the properties of roads. Cationic bitumen emulsion binders containing polymer latex were investigated using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The latex was incorporated into the bitumen emulsion by using four different addition methods and all emulsions were processed with a conventional ...

Three commercial silicone emulsions with different functional groups i.e., quat-silicone micro-emulsion (<40 nm particle size), amino-silicone macro-emulsion (110 nm), and silicone macro-emulsion with alkylmodified side groups (740 nm) were used to protect wood samples against fungal decay. The addition of the emulsions to an agar growth medium revealed that all three silicone formulations inhi...
