Rheological properties are critical in the design of dysphagia foods. Interfacial behavior is a critical factor in determining the rheological properties of emulsions. In this study, dysphagia foods were prepared by thickening soy protein-based liquid systems with xanthan gum, guar gum, and pectin. Interfacial behavior in dysphagia foods was focused on using interfacial dilatational rheology and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation technique. The results showed that xanthan gum/soy protein and pectin/soy protein composite particles exhibited higher dynamic interfacial tension than soy protein particles. The results were opposite for guar gum/soy protein composite particles. Moreover, the thickness and mass of the interfacial layers formed by XG/SP and GG/SP were greater than that of P/SP, with the most stable interfacial microstructure formed by XG/SP. This study reveals the correlation between the physical properties and interfacial behavior of dysphagic foods and provides insights for the development of novel dysphagic foods.

Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) have been known to have multiple health benefits in treating metabolic disorders and reducing the incidence of obesity. In the present study, the partial replacement of lard with MCTs assisted by ultrasound treatment on the emulsifying stability and adsorption behavior of myofibrillar protein (MP) was investigated. The results revealed that ultrasound-assisted MCT emulsion had better emulsifying activity and emulsion stability than other groups.

In this study, a Ni-coated carbon fiber reinforced Al-matrix (Ni-CF/Al) composite is prepared utilizing a pressure-free infiltration process. The CFs are coated with a layer of Ni through an electroless plating process, which facilitates the spontaneous infiltration behavior driven by the Al-Ni binary reaction. The spontaneous infiltration process, observed via synchrotron radiation in the direction opposite to gravity, demonstrates a fastest velocity of 31.

Short fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites (SFRTPs) have excellent recyclability and processability, but their mechanical properties are weak compared to continuous fiber products. Various studies have reported that the addition of GNPs improves the mechanical properties of SFRTPs, but it is unclear what effect different types of reinforcing fibers have on a hybrid composite system. In this study, the effect of adding a small amount (1 wt%) of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) to fiber-reinforced polypropylene composites on their mechanical properties was investigated from a crystallinity perspective.

This study systematically investigates the formation mechanism and development characteristics of the "foamy oil" phenomenon during pressure depletion development of high-viscosity crude oil through a combination of physical experiments and numerical simulations. Using Venezuelan foamy oil as the research subject, an innovative heterogeneous pore-etched glass model was constructed to simulate the pressure depletion process, revealing for the first time that bubble growth predominantly occurs during the migration stage. Experimental results demonstrate that heavy components significantly delay degassing by stabilizing gas-liquid interfaces, while the continuous gas-liquid diffusion effect explains the unique development characteristics of foamy oil-high oil recovery and delayed phase transition-from a microscopic perspective.

This study explores the mechanical behaviour of intra-laminar hybrid flax/E-glass composites, focusing on the role of micro-scale irregularities in flax fibres. By employing computational micromechanics and Monte Carlo simulations, it analyses the influence of flax fibre geometry and elastic properties on the performance of hybrid and non-hybrid composites. A Non-Circular Fibre Distribution (NCFD) algorithm is introduced to generate microstructures with randomly distributed non-circular flax and circular E-glass fibres, which are then modelled using a 3D (RVE) model developed in Python 2.
