  • Application of the synthetic polymer approach to the glass transition of fruit leathers
    Journal of Food Engineering, 2008
    Co-Authors: P. J. Torley, P. Shrinivas, Stefan Kasapis, J. Boer, Bhesh Bhandari, B. Jiang
    Abstract:

    Abstract A commercial fruit leather was analysed in an effort to document the application of the synthetic polymer approach to its vitrification properties. Techniques employed were dynamic mechanical thermal analysis on tension and modulated differential scanning calorimetry. The temperature and frequency dependence of Young’s modulus were utilized in the construction of composite curves of viscoelasticity that identified the Rubbery Plateau, glass transition region and glassy state. The painstaking investigation of viscoelasticity supported by the combined framework of WLF/free-volume theory was successful in identifying the mechanical T g of the partially vitreous material at subzero temperatures. That was contrasted with the corresponding value obtained using calorimetry, and the nature of the discrepancy between the two estimates of T g was discussed.

  • polymer solvent interaction observed in Rubbery Plateau modulus
    Polymer International, 1998
    Co-Authors: N Nakajima, J P Varkey
    Abstract:

    The conventional wisdom is that concentration dependence of the Rubbery Plateau modulus of polymer solutions is independent of the material. However, in industrial practice, sometimes a small addition of miscible liquid lowers the modulus significantly whilst at other times it hardly affects it. This work examines an example of the former case (nitrile rubber–plasticizer systems) and one of the latter (acrylic rubber–plasticizer systems). Two possible explanations are offered for the observed behaviour. One is a possible contribution of a polar association to the Plateau modulus: when a solvent breaks the association it gives the former case and when it does not, it gives the latter. The other explanation is a possible contraction of polymer coils from unperturbed size giving the former case, and an expansion giving the latter. Changes of less than a few percent of the coil-radius are sufficient to explain the above behaviour © 1998 SCI.
