Mechanisms of rheological modifiers for quick mixing method in 3D concrete printing

Quick mixing technology at the nozzle is a potential approach to avoiding the opposing requirements for pumpability and buildability and improving productivity in 3D concrete printing. However, the addition of rheological modifiers poses a challenge in quickly achieving a uniform mix while minimizing mixing energy. This study investigated two common rheological modifiers, including polymeric carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and nano-clay. Their effects on the liquid bridge of mixing water and the mixing evolution and yield stress of concrete were investigated. Results show that the resistance of mixing concrete with CMC reduced with mixing time after a peak whereas that with nano-clay exhibited an opposite trend. An increase in modifier dosages enhanced the liquid bridge force and rupture energy, increasing mixing resistance; the CMC was more influential than nano-clay. Furthermore, the quick mixing method resulted in better dissolution (or dispersion) of these modifiers and higher yield stress but cost more mixing energy.

Black Bioinks from Superstructured Carbonized Lignin Particles

AbstractA renewable source of carbon black is introduced by the processing of lignin from agro‐forestry residues. Lignin side streams are converted into spherical particles by direct aerosolization followed by carbonization. The obtained submicron black carbon is combined with cellulose nanofibers, which act as a binder and rheology modifier, resulting in a new type of colloidal bioink. The bioinks are tested in handwriting and direct ink writing. After consolidation, the black bioinks display total light reflectance (%R) at least three times lower than commercial black inks (reduction from 12 to 4%R). A loading of up to 20% of nanofibers positively affects the cohesion of the dried bioink (1 to 16 MPa), with no significant reduction in light reflectance. This is a result of the superstructuring of the ink components, which disrupts particle packing, intensifies colloidal interactions, introduces light absorption, and non‐reflective multiple scattering.

Direct ink writing of multifunctional nanocellulose and allyl-modified gelatin biomaterial inks for the fabrication of mechanically and functionally graded constructs

Recreating the intricate mechanical and functional gradients found in natural tissues through additive manufacturing poses significant challenges, including the need for precise control over time and space and the availability of versatile biomaterial inks. In this proof-of-concept study, we developed a new biomaterial ink for direct ink writing, allowing the creation of 3D structures with tailorable functional and mechanical gradients. Our ink formulation combined multifunctional cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), allyl-functionalized gelatin (0.8–2.0 wt%), and polyethylene glycol dithiol (3.0–7.5 wt%). The CNF served as a rheology modifier, whereas a concentration of 1.8 w/v % in the inks was chosen for optimal printability and shape fidelity. In addition, CNFs were functionalized with azido groups, enabling the spatial distribution of functional moieties within a 3D structure. These functional groups were further modified using a spontaneous click chemistry reaction. Through additive manufacturing and a readily available static mixer, we successfully demonstrated the fabrication of mechanical gradients – ranging from 3 to 6 kPa in indentation strength – and functional gradients. Additionally, we introduced dual gradients by combining gradient printing with an anisotropic photocrosslinking step. The developed biomaterial ink opens up possibilities for printing intricate multigradient structures, resembling the complex hierarchical organization seen in living tissues.

3D printing of soft and porous composite pressure sensor with monotonic and positive resistance response

Recently, 3D printing as a facile and customized technology has been employed to fabricate soft pressure sensors. However, the soft pressure sensors developed to date often suffer from nonmonotonic or negative resistance response, thus limiting their performance and applications. Herein, a new class of printable ternary inks with suitable rheological characteristics by the combination of conductive fillers (carbon nanotubes (CNTs)) and rheological modifiers (insulating microspheres) is developed unprecedentedly and enables the 3D printed composite pressure sensors with excellent mechanical elasticity and monotonic and positive resistance response. Firstly, the rheological behaviors of the as-prepared inks as well as relevant printing parameters are investigated in detail, and a printable phase diagram is proposed to select proper relevant printing parameters. Subsequently, the pressure sensing properties of the as-printed composite pressure sensor are demonstrated and it shows a monotonic and positive resistance response characteristic with a maximum gauge factor (GF) of 280 over a large range of 80% compression strain, exhibiting an outstanding balance between sensitivity and working range when compared with other previously printed pressure sensors. Furthermore, finite-element analysis (FEA) is conducted and a theoretical model for the resistance response is developed to clarify the response mechanisms of the as-printed pressure sensor. The excellent sensing performance suggests that the as-printed pressure sensor has great application potentials in the field of robotic perception and motion monitoring as demonstrated.

Synthesis and Exfoliation of Calcium Organophosphonates for Tailoring Rheological Properties of Sodium Alginate Solutions: A Path toward Polysaccharide-Based Bioink.

Layered nanoparticles with surface charge are explored as rheological modifiers for extrudable materials, utilizing their ability to induce electrostatic repulsion and create a house-of-cards structure. These nanoparticles provide mechanical support to the polymer matrix, resulting in increased viscosity and storage modulus. Moreover, their advantageous aspect ratio allows for shear-induced orientation and decreased viscosity during flow. In this work, we present a synthesis and liquid-based exfoliation procedure of phenylphosphonate-phosphate particles with enhanced ability to be intercalated by hydrophilic polymers. These layered nanoparticles are then tested as rheological modifiers of sodium alginate. The effective rheological modification is proved as the viscosity increases from 101 up to 103 Pa·s in steady state. Also, shear-thinning behavior is observed. The resulting nanocomposite hydrogels show potential as an extrudable bioink for 3D printing in tissue engineering and other biomedical applications, with good shape fidelity, nontoxicity, and satisfactory cell viability confirmed through encapsulation and printing of mouse fibroblasts.

Effects of superabsorbent polymers (SAP) on the rheological behavior of cement mortars: A rheological study on performance requirements for 3D printable cementitious materials

While the potential of incorporating superabsorbent polymers (SAP) as an additive in 3D printing cementitious materials has been a subject of interest recently, little research has been conducted on the effects of SAP incorporation on the rheological properties of cement mortars and the required performance of 3D printable cementitious materials when no other additives, such as superplasticizer (SP), are present or when SAP is added up to 1.0% by weight of the binder. Accordingly, the effects of SAP on the rheological behavior of cement mortar were analyzed in this study from the perspective of the performance requirements for 3D printable material with the SAP dosage (0%, 0.5%, and 1.0% by weight of cement), SAP particle size (100–180 and 355–425 μm), and superplasticizer (SP) presence (polycarboxylate-ether) as variables. The rheological properties of cement mortars with the same initial slump flow (180 mm ± 5 mm) were measured using a vane rotational rheometer, and their conformance to the performance requirements for 3D printable cementitious materials was studied. Static yield stress, dynamic yield stress, and plastic viscosity were calculated for each specimen using measured torque data obtained from the stress growth and flow curve experiments. The ratios of static to dynamic yield stress, plastic viscosity, and thixotropic areas were analyzed from the perspective of pumpability and extrudability, whereas the yield stress evolution and structural build-up rate were analyzed from the perspective of buildability. The results demonstrated that although the rheological properties of the SAP-incorporated cement mortar with a low water–cement ratio were similar to those of the SAP-incorporated cement mortar with a high water–cement ratio when SP was incorporated, the change in rheological properties with time and shear differed. SAP incorporation promoted the structuration of the mixtures without SP that have a high water–cement ratio due to the physical effects of SAP particles, but the effect was reversed in the mixtures with SP and a low water–cement ratio due to the water migration kinetics associated with SAP. Because a low water–cement ratio with SP is commonly applied for 3D printable materials, the findings of this study indicate that the water migration kinetics of SAP critically determines the printability of cementitious materials mixed with SAP. Given that observed effects are substantial, SAP arguably has potential as a rheology modifier for 3D printable cementitious materials.

Acrylamide‐sodium acrylate copolymers: A comparison between copolymerization and hydrolysis

AbstractPolyacrylamide‐co‐sodium acrylate has been prepared via copolymerization of acrylamide and acrylic acid, or the hydrolysis of a pre‐formed nonionic polymer. Both macromolecules had a charge of 24 mol% with a molar mass of 25 million g/mol. While one might expect similar performance, the hydrolyzed materials were superior in rheology modification, while the copolymerized samples worked better as flocculants. This hydrolysis reaction is influenced by the dyad sequence and produced a relatively uniform charge distribution along the backbone. These partially hydrolyzed polyelectrolytes had approximately 40% higher solution viscosities compared to the copolymerized samples. The rheological properties were also more tolerant to temperature, electrolytes, and hardness. Such molecules would be expected to perform well as pushing fluids as used in enhanced oil recovery processes. In contrast, when tested on an inorganic sludge, with a high level of polar and soluble hydrophobic molecules, the copolymerized sample provided larger flocs, a clearer filtrate, and faster settling. The hydrolyzed macromolecules essentially functioned only as a coagulant generating pin flocs. Depending on the application, polymer structure can be tuned by the method of synthesis. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report comparing the influence of synthesis method on polyacrylamide solution properties and application performance.

Temperature-sensitive amphiphilic nanohybrid as rheological modifier of water-in-oil emulsion drilling fluid: Preparation and performance analysis

In our previous study, as a rheological modifier for flat rheology water-based drilling fluid, binary composite temperature-sensitive SiO2 nanohybrid was successfully synthesized and characterized [J. Petrol. Sci. Eng. 219 (2022), 111,096]. The aim of this study was to investigate the flat rheological characteristics of emulsion drilling fluid, a temperature-sensitive amphiphilic ternary composite nanohybrid was prepared via the copolymerization of temperature sensitive polymer monomers N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and methylallyl alcohol (MAA) in the presence of nano-silica surface-capped by modifier containing double bond (denoted as SiO2-D). The as-prepared PNM/SiO2-D (PNM refers to polymerized NIPAM and MAA) nanohybrid was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Findings indicate that PNM/SiO2-D nanohybrid has a three-dimensional network structure and a particle size of 20–30 nm. Rheological properties of PNM/SiO2-D nanohybrid in aqueous solution, water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion system and W/O emulsion drilling fluid system were investigated, respectively. And the results revealed that PNM/SiO2-D nanohybrid as a rheological modifier is more sensitive to temperature in the emulsion with a high water-oil ratio, and significantly increase the viscosity of the emulsion system at elevated temperatures. Furthermore, the W/O emulsion drilling fluid with a water-oil ratio of 4:6 exhibits higher modulus values than the one with a water-ratio of 1:9, due to the better suspending capacity of the former for drill cuttings under static conditions, which could ensure the application of emulsion drilling fluid in drilling process.

Bridging Heterogeneity Dictates the Microstructure and Yielding Response of Polymer-Linked Emulsions.

Soft materials possessing tunable rheological properties are desirable in applications ranging from 3D printing to biological scaffolds. Here, we use a telechelic, triblock copolymer polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene oxide)-b-polystyrene (SEOS) to form elastic networks of polymer-linked droplets in cyclohexane-in-water emulsions. The SEOS endblocks partition into the dispersed cyclohexane droplets while the midblocks remain in the aqueous continuous phase, resulting in each chain taking on either a looping or bridging conformation. By controlling the fraction of chains that form bridges, we tune the linear elasticity of the emulsions and generate a finite yield stress. Polymers with higher molecular weight (Mw) endblocks form stronger interdroplet connections and display a higher bridging density. Beyond modifying the linear rheology, the telechelic, triblock copolymers also alter the yielding behavior and processability of the linked emulsions. We examine the yield transition of these polymer-linked emulsions through large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) and probe the emulsion structure through confocal microscopy, concluding that polymers that more readily form bridges generate a strongly percolated network, whereas those that are less prone to form bridges tend to produce networks composed of weakly linked clusters of droplets. When yielded, the emulsions consisting of linked clusters break apart into individual clusters that can rearrange upon the application of further shear. By contrast, when the systems containing a more homogeneous bridging density are yielded, the system remains percolated but with reduced elasticity and bridging density. The demonstrated ability of telechelic triblock copolymers to tune not only the linear viscoelasticity of complex fluids but also their nonlinear yield transition enables the use of these polymers as versatile and robust rheological modifiers. We expect our findings to therefore aid the design of the next generation of complex fluids and soft materials.

Synthesis and rheological properties of water soluble ionic copolymers as modifier fluids at high temperature and saline media

AbstractPolymer flooding depicts an interesting strategy to improve the enhanced oil recovery (EOR). This work aims with the synthesis of ionic thermo‐responsive copolymers able to be used as rheological modifiers for EOR under harsh conditions (250,000 ppm of NaCl at 150°C). Copolymers composed of different molar ratio of acrylamide, N‐isopropylacrylamide and 2‐acrylamide‐2‐methyl‐1‐propanesulfonic acid were prepared in aqueous media via free radical polymerization at 50°C using 4,4′‐azobis(‐4″‐cyanopentanoic) acid (ACPA) as initiator. Nuclear magnetic resonance analyses demonstrated the structure and molar composition of synthesized copolymers. Rheological measurements performed at different concentration from 1 to 8 wt% demonstrated an increase in the viscosity from 2000 to 600,000 mPa.s. Aqueous mixtures of polymer at 5 wt% and NaCl at different concentration (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 wt%) was analyzed. Copolymer ([PAM]/[PNIPAM] = 50/50) displayed a phase separation at 15 wt% of NaCl. Solutions of polymer at 5 and 25 wt% of NaCl were heated at 150°C for 72 h. Results revealed both thermal stability and saline tolerance of copolymers [PAM]/[PNIPAM]/[PAMPS‐Na] = 25/25/50, 35/35/30, and 50/0/50 under harsh conditions with the absence of phase separation of the brine polymer solutions.

A Sustainable Multi‐Dimensional Printable Material

AbstractPolymeric materials are usually tailored for specific functionality. A single polymer exhibiting multiple simultaneous functionalities often requires intricate molecular architecture, which is difficult to manufacture at scale because of its complex synthesis routes. Herein, a facile, partly renewable composition―prepared via reactive melt processing―that induces tunable functionalities such as 3D printability, shape recovery, and self‐healing while exhibiting satisfactory mechanical properties is reported. The system with a hydrogen‐bonded 3D network consists of thermally reversible nano‐scale agglomerates of sustainable, rigid phenolic oligomers and crystallizable flexible polymer. Local molecular mobility and temperature‐dependent relaxation and recovery of the non‐equilibrium networked states enable exploiting these simultaneous functionalities. Transitions involving solidification and structure stabilization at ambient temperature spanning several hours after preheating only at 70 °C directly contrast typical thermoplastic or thermoplastic elastomer behaviors. Results from this study can inform the design of future rheology modifiers and materials for soft robotics.

Lateral pressure of nano-engineered SCC combining nanoclays, nanosilica and viscosity modifying admixtures

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is an energy efficient building technology widely used for multiple constructive applications. However, the large flowability of fresh SCC produces an increase of the lateral pressure exerted on the formwork regarding to conventional concretes. One solution to reduce the maximum lateral pressure (Pmax) is to modulate the fresh performance of SCC by the addition of rheology modifiers. Among them, nanocomponents highlight due to their larger efficiency derived from their tiny particle size. In this study, the efficiency of nano-engineered SCC (NE-SCC) combining small amounts of nanocomponents, as nanoclays and nanosilica, with viscosity modifying admixtures (VMAs) to decrease Pmax is explored. Lateral pressure exerted by NE-SCC on cylindrical columns subjected to self-weight and to air pressure was assessed using wall and capillary pressure sensors over time. It was found that the incorporation of attapulgite and bentonite nanoclays combined with VMAs could reduce Pmax. This reduction was measured with wall and capillary pressure sensors on self-weight column and air pressure column laboratory tests, and good correlation between them over time was obtained. A predictive model of the maximum lateral Pressure (Pmax) and its evolution over time (PL) was proposed, related to SCC paste thixotropy (Athix,p), casting height (H) and SCC pressure decay coefficient (Cd).

Impact of physico‐chemical properties of nanocellulose on rheology of aqueous suspensions and its utility in multiple fields: A review

AbstractNanocellulose (NC), due to its sustainable nature, high aspect ratio, superior mechanical strength, and availability of functionalizable OH groups, has been widely utilized as reinforcement in numerous fluids/plastics. The physico‐chemical properties of NC, like surface characteristics, dimensions/aspect ratio and their concentration, significantly impact the interparticle interactions, such as the extent of hydrogen bonding, van derWaalforces, hydrophobicity, electrostatic attraction/repulsion, and cellulose entanglement, and have been found to play a critical role in regulating the overall rheological characteristics of fluids. The functionalized NC aqueous suspension exhibited unique shear thinning properties, thixotropic behavior, and quick steady‐state viscosity recovery and viscoelastic properties. However, upon adding functionalized NC to other fluids, a different impact was noticed. For instance, it improved the viscosity, G′ and mechanical stability of bio‐ink; the setting time and mechanical strength of cementitious fluids; increased the filtration performance and provided a unique thermo‐thickening impact in case of water‐based drilling‐fluid; enhanced viscosity with time and heat in case of oil recovery, and so forth. Keeping in view the notable dependence of the rheology of fluids on NC additives, in the present review article, the impact of various physico‐chemical properties of NC additives on the rheological behavior of NC aqueous suspension and its utility as a rheology modifier in multiple advanced fields has been explored. This review article, compared to previous studies, warrants an update on the impact of recent NC surface functionalization/blending techniques employed and NC aspect ratio on specific properties of multiple advanced fluids.

The Performance and Distribution of Polyurethane-Modified Asphalt That Exhibits Different Molecular Weights

To analyze the effect of polyol on polyurethane (PU)-modified asphalt, three different soft segments of polyurethane were synthesized, and we utilized the reaction of MDI (diphenylmethane diisocyanate) with PU650, PU1000, and PU1400. With respect to molecular weight, the effect of polyol on the performance of modified asphalt was analyzed, and the asphalt was modified by using three different polyurethanes. To analyze the PU samples, the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) tests and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) tests were selected; by contrast, to analyze the rheological properties and modification mechanism of asphalt, the dynamic rheology test (DSR), low-temperature bending creep test (BBR), multi-stress repetitive creep test (MSCR), FTIR, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were selected. The results indicate that the molecular weight of polyol affects the molecular structure of polyurethane, the distribution of soft and hard segments, the content of soft segments, and the distribution of asphaltene in asphalt; thus, the asphalt modification effect occurs differently. The storage stability and high-temperature stability of the polyurethane-modified asphalts that were synthesized using three different polyols (i.e., polyols that exhibit different molecular weights) did not differ considerably, and the PU1400-modified asphalt exhibited the best low-temperature performance.

Polymer–Surfactant Complexes Impact the Stratification and Nanotopography of Micellar Foam Films

Freestanding films of soft matter drain via stratification due to confinement-induced structuring and layering of supramolecular structures such as micelles. Neutral polymers, added as rheology modifiers to cosmetics, foods, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemical formulations, often interact with monomers and micelles of surfactants, forming polymer-surfactant complexes. Despite many studies that explore interfacial and bulk rheological properties, the corresponding influence of polymer-surfactant complexes on foam drainage and lifetime is not well understood and motivates this study. Here, we report the discovery and evidence of drainage via stratification in foam films formed with polymer-surfactant (PEO-SDS) complexes. We show that the stratification trifecta of coexisting thick-thin regions, stepwise thinning, and nanoscopic topological features such as nanoridges and mesas can be observed using IDIOM (interferometry, digital imaging, and optical microscopy) protocols we developed for nanoscopic thickness mapping. We determine that for polymer concentrations below overlap concentration and surfactant concentrations beyond the excess micelle point, polymer-surfactant complexation impact the nanoscopic topography but not the step size, implying the amplitude of disjoining pressure changes, but periodicity remains unchanged.

Textural, Rheological, and Sensory Modifications in Oaxaca Cheese Made with Ultrasonicated Raw Milk

In this research, we evaluated the effects of different frequencies (25 and 45 kHz) and times (15 and 30 min) of high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) applied to fresh raw milk on the textural properties of Oaxaca cheese. When HIU was applied for 15 min, the cheese melting time was reduced by up to 23.4 s compared to the control. The cheeses produced with ultrasonicated milk at 45 kHz presented larger melting and exudate areas. They were softer, but consumer acceptability was lower. Frequencies of 25 and 45 kHz (15 or 30 min) reduced the temperature of the solid–liquid transition by 1.9–3.6 °C and 0.6–1.8 °C, respectively, compared to controls. Consequently, the melting time in ultrasonicated cheese was significantly reduced. The strands were perfectly aligned and well organized in the direction of stretching with 25 kHz ultrasonication. In addition, these cheeses were more consistent, chewy, and rubbery. Consequently, they were preferred and more accepted in flavor, aroma, and texture, with high general acceptability. HIU is a promising technology to improve the textural and rheological properties of Oaxaca cheese made with raw milk, as HIU produced cheeses with better sensory acceptability by consumers and with a high melting capacity and thread formation.

Thermorheological Behavior of κ-Carrageenan Hydrogels Modified with Xanthan Gum

Hydrocolloids are long-chain biopolymers that can form viscous solutions or gels when dissolved in water. They are employed as rheological modifiers in various manufacturing processes or finished products. Due to its unique gelation properties, animal gelatin is one of the most widely used hydrocolloids, finding applications in several fields such as food, pharmaceutical, and photographic. Nowadays, the challenge of finding valid alternatives to animal products has become a crucial issue, for both ethical and environmental reasons. The aim of this work, is to propose a green hydrocolloidal network, able to reproduce the gelation features of animal gelatin gels. κ-carrageenan gels may be an interesting alternative to gelatin, due to their attractive gelling features. We investigate the thermorheological behavior of κ-carrageenan aqueous solutions at various concentrations, focusing on gel features such as transition temperature and gel strength. To improve the viscoelastic response of such gels, we add a viscosity-enhancing hydrocolloid, i.e., xanthan gum. The results show that the gel strength increases exponentially with xanthan concentration, thus suggesting a synergistic interaction between the two networks. We also study the effect of sucrose on the thermal and mechanical properties of modified gels, finding a marked increase in transition temperatures and gel elasticity. In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) food printing has been extensively studied in the food industry, due to its many advantages, such as customized food design, personalized nutrition, simplified supply chain, and the expansion of available food materials. In view of this growing interest for additive manufacturing, we also study the printability of the complete formulation composed of κ-carrageenan, xanthan gum and sucrose.

Acetobacteraceae as exopolysaccharide producers: Current state of knowledge and further perspectives.

Exopolysaccharides formation against harmful biotic and abiotic environmental influences is common among bacteria. By using renewable resources as a substrate, exopolysaccharides represent a sustainable alternative to fossil-based polymers as rheological modifiers in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical applications. The family of Acetobacteraceae, traditionally associated with fermented food products, has demonstrated their ability to produce a wide range of structural and functional different polymers with interesting physicochemical properties. Several strains are well known for their production of homopolysaccharides of high industrial importance, such as levan and bacterial cellulose. Moreover, some Acetobacteraceae are able to form acetan-like heteropolysaccharides with a high structural resemblance to xanthan. This mini review summarizes the current knowledge and recent trends in both homo- and heteropolysaccharide production by Acetobacteraceae.

Effects of pH and NaCl on the Spatial Structure and Conformation of Myofibrillar Proteins and the Emulsion Gel System—Insights from Computational Molecular Dynamics on Myosin of Golden Pompano

In this study, the effects of pH and NaCl concentrations on the structure of golden pompano myosin and emulsion gel were analyzed using SEM in combination with molecular dynamics simulations (MDS). The microscopic morphology and spatial structure of myosin were investigated at different pH (3.0, 7.0, and 11.0) and NaCl concentrations (0.0, 0.2, 0.6, and 1.0 M), and their effects on the stability of emulsion gels were discussed. Our results show that pH had a greater effect on the microscopic morphology of myosin than NaCl. The MDS results show that under the condition of pH 7.0 and 0.6 M NaCl, the myosin expanded and experienced significant fluctuations in its amino acid residues. However, NaCl showed a greater effect on the number of hydrogen bonds than pH. Although changes in pH and NaCl concentrations only slightly altered the secondary structures in myosin, they, nevertheless, significantly influenced the protein spatial conformation. The stability of the emulsion gel was affected by pH changes but not NaCl concentrations, which only affect the rheology. The best elastic modulus G″ of the emulsion gel was obtained at pH 7.0 and 0.6 M NaCl. Based on the results, we conclude that pH changes have a greater influence than NaCl concentrations on the spatial structure and conformation of myosin, contributing to the instability of its emulsion gel state. The data from this study would serve as a valuable reference for emulsion gel rheology modification in future research.
