In total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) measurements an exponentially decaying
evanescent wave of light (285–290 nm) excites the Trp residues in a protein to fluoresce at …

A new surface shear rheometer was designed on the basis of the principle of a torsion
pendulum. The torsion wire transfers the deformation, produced by a stepper motor, via a …

A Ferranti-Shirley cone-plate viscometer was interfaced to a minicomputer system by means
of a microcomputer. The microcomputer collects data from the instrument corresponding to …

Tokyo 162, Japan by a stepper motor via the ring onto the interface. The movement of the
ring is registered by a localsensitive photodiode. Due to the sensitivity of the photodiode and …

The adsorption kinetics of purified fibrinogen to unmodified and aminopropylsilane-modified
quartz glass surfaces were studied under pseudo-first order (binding-unit excess) conditions …

The problems posed by a controlled stress rheometer are studied in the low strain and slow
strain rate domain, characteristic of the Newtonian plateau of polymers or of the yield stress …

A parallel plate rheometer has been devised which permits measurements of shear stresses
of 102 to 105 dynes/sq. cm. and shear rates of 10− 5 to 1 sec.− 1. A linear, air lubricated …

Novel equipment, the Cambridge Interfacial Tensiometer (CIT), was designed and used to
directly determine the mechanical properties of a β-lactoglobulin film adsorbed at the air …

Highly concentrated biopolymers are used in food extrusion processing. It is well known that
rheo-logical properties of biopolymers influence considerably both process conditions and …

Interfacial shear properties of adsorbed protein layers at the air/water interface were
determined using a Couette-type surface shear rheometer. Such experiments are often used …
