高分子と散乱法 Scattering Technique for Polymers |
佐藤 尚弘 Takahiro SATO |
<要旨> The structure or conformation of the polymer chain is complex, and must be studied by many different kinds of experimental techniques, which give us information of global or local structure of the polymer chain. The scattering technique is one of such experimental methods, utilizing the interference of radiation waves scattered from many scattering points of polymer chains. Light scattering and small angle X-ray (or neutron) scattering are suitable to study global and local structures of the polymer chain, respectively. While the information from such scattering techniques is on the time-averaged structure of the polymer chain, rheological measurements provide the information of the polymer dynamics. Therefore, the scattering and rheology are complimentary techniques to study polymers, but it is rather difficult to measure both scattering and rheology in the same experimental condition. Dynamic light scattering may provide information same as that obtained from rheology. Keywords: Scattering Technique / Rheology / Polymer Conformation / Polymer Dynamics / Dynamic Light Scattering |

レオロジーとは What is Rheology ? |
上田 隆宣 Takanobu UEDA |
<要旨> Rheology is the study to examine the relationship of stress and strain and time. Rheology measurement device has become a convenient device that can be anyone in the IT progress. Rheology is the study to quantify the feeling that you touched, it can be seen anyone whether the result is correct. As a method to investigate the dispersibility of the dispersion in the rheology measurement, the flow curve linearity, the strain dispersion measurement linearity, the applicability of the Time-Temperature Superposition principle, the applicability of the Cox-Mertz rule, and large amplitude oscillatory shear is used. Keywords: Rheometer / Multi Frequency Wave / Dispersion / Flow Curves / Linearity / Cox-Mertz Rule / Time-Temperature Superposition Principle / LAOS |

化粧品微細乳化製剤の散乱・レオロジー解析 Scattering and Rheological Analyses of Nanoemulsion for Cosmetics |
久米 卓志 Takuji KUME |
<要旨> A stable nanoemulsion consisting of nanometer-sized oil droplets in water having a self-standing capability was prepared by high-pressure emulsification. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) clarified the presence of an ordered crystal-like lattice structure in addition to spherical domains with a diameter of about 30 nm. Rheological measurements showed that the nanoemulsion had a high viscosity and a yield stress. Nonfluidity of nanoemulsion is ascribed to crystal-like lattice structure of nanodroplets. A mixed solution of 2-hydroxyethyl cellulose and the nanoemulsion had shear-thickening behavior (shear-induced gelation). Real-time SANS measurements as a function of shear rate (Rheo-SANS) revealed that a possible mechanism of gelation was proposed from the viewpoint of shear-induced percolation transition. Furthermore, mixtures of the nanoemulsion and poly(acrylic acid) solutions were opaque and kept the same interdomain distance and high viscosity as the nanoemulsion. It was estimated that they had phase-separated structure between nanoemulsion phase and poly(acrylic acid) solution phase.

化粧品基剤開発におけるレオロジー研究 Rheological Studies on Cosmetic Field |
中村 綾野 Ayano NAKAMURA |
<要旨> Texture of the cosmetic products is an important factor for the consumer satisfaction. It is considered that the texture is originated from various physical properties. However, since the phenomena are very complicated, to appropriate quantification is difficult. Our attempt is to quantify the texture of the initial touch of the cosmetics by studying the rheological properties. Flow properties of cosmetic lotions, containing various kinds of aqueous thickeners, were studied by creep measurement, and parameters were calculated from their rheological data based on the Nutting equation, which is an empirical equation. There were some correlations among the time dependency parameter and some sensory evaluation points, assessed by human panels. Simple linear regression analysis revealed that the evaluation scores of slimy feeling, sticky feeling, refresh feeling, and penetrating feeling of the cosmetic lotions were converted to numerical data by the parameter α. This quantification method for the texture of cosmetic products will be a useful tool for efficient development of cosmetic formulations.

マリアージュで生まれるセルロース材料の評価 Evaluation of Cellulosic Materials from the Marriage of Scattering and Rheology |
巽 大輔 Daisuke TATSUMI |
<要旨> Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and rheological measurements have been applied to the structural analysis of cellulose nanofiber suspension and cellulose gel. These mesurements cooperatively showed the fibrillation of cellulose fibers in the creation process of cellulose nanofibers. The network structure of optically anisotropic gel from cellulose solutions were also evaluated from these measurements. The density of contact points of cellulose chains in the gel evaluated from SAXS was coincident with that from rheological measurements. The marriage of scattering and rheology gives us happiness that we can see the structure and behavior of invisible particles and molecules.

ヒューマン・マテリアルインターフェースでのレオロジー (化粧品・食品のレオロジー) Rheology in The Human-Material Interface (Rheology on Cosmetics and Foods) |
金田 勇 Isamu KANEDA |
<要旨> Physical proterty of foods and cosmetics is one of the most important characteristics that determins their commodity value. In this chapter, 3 topics on these fields are overviewed. C24HEUR makes a transient network structure, and it shows typical Maxell-body like behavior. Moreover, quite interestingly its relaxation speed is as same order as human motion. We have revealed that the network shows unusual mechanical response under deformation that exceeds its relaxation speed. We expected that such unusual exhibit a unique usage feeling when the polymer is applied in cosmetics. Mayonnaise is an amazing o/w emulsion. Recentry, a low-fat mayonnaise has been developed for good health. Although the steady state viscosity of such a low-fat mayonnaise seems simular to an ordinary mayonnaise, we have found out differences in a non-linear rheolical properties between these mayonnaises. Finally, the effect of edible emulsifier on the molten chocolate flow properties is reviewed. We developed a novel model chaocolate system that is employed spherical silica particles instead of suger cristal. It has been revealed that the emulsifier improved dispersibility of the silica particle in the model chocolate system. Keywords: Food / Cosmetics / Rheology / Usage Feelong / Texture |
