Cold and hot water extracted polysaccharides (CW-PNPs and HW-PNPs) were isolated from Pholiota nameko. The rheological properties of PNPs were investigated by steady shear and oscillatory rheological measurements. The PNPs exhibited typical non-Newtonian and shear-thinning behavior, which are affected by PNP concentration, temperature, pH value, salt ion, and concentration. Specifically, the apparent viscosity of the two PNPs solutions at concentration of 1% (w/w) was shown as HW-PNPs > CW-PNPs. The apparent viscosity of PNPs decreases under acidic and alkaline conditions and when the temperature rises; K and Na cause the apparent viscosity of CW-PNPs to decrease, while Ca and Al are opposite. The addition of four different salt ions all caused the apparent viscosity of the HW-PNPs to decrease. The results of dynamic rheological experiments show that G' and G″ showed slightly frequency dependency with G' exceeding G″ throughout the accessible range of frequency for CW-PNPs and HW-PNPs.

The utilization of CO foam gel fracturing fluid offers several significant advantages, including minimal reservoir damage, reduced water consumption during application, enhanced cleaning efficiency, and additional beneficial properties. However, several current CO foam gel fracturing fluid systems face challenges, such as complex preparation processes and insufficient viscosity, which limit their proppant transport capacity. To address these issues, this work develops a novel CO foam gel fracturing fluid system characterized by simple preparation and robust foam stability.

In this study, a new environmentally friendly and efficient method for recycling and reusing waste polyurethane sheets is proposed. SiO aerogel was prepared using the sol-gel method, and mullite whiskers were introduced to enhance its toughness. The whisker-toughened aerogel was used in the degradation of waste polyurethane to produce modified recycled polyol, which was subsequently used to prepare recycled polyurethane foam insulation material.

Long-term polymer flooding exacerbates reservoir heterogeneity, intensifying intra- and inter-layer conflicts, which makes it difficult to recover the remaining oil. Therefore, further improvement in oil recovery after polymer flooding is essential. In this study, a weak gel system was successfully synthesized, and possesses a distinct network structure that becomes more compact as the concentration of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide increases.

Potato starch is widely utilized in the food industry. Gamma irradiation is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method for starch modification. Nevertheless, there is a scarcity of comprehensive and consistent knowledge regarding the physicochemical characteristics of high-dose gamma-irradiated potato starch, retrogradation properties in particular.

Heteroprotein complex coacervation has potential for a wide range of applications. However, the sensitivity of coacervates to slight changes in physico-chemical conditions may constitute a technological barrier for their development and deserves to be better understood. In this study, the rheological properties of β-lactoglobulin/lactoferrin (βLG/LF) heteroprotein complex coacervates were investigated with respect to narrow changes of temperature (5-40 °C) and ionic strength (0 to 10mM added NaCl).
