Phase Separation of Wheat Flour Dough Studied by Ultracentrifugation and Stress Relaxation. II. Influence of Mixing Time, Ascorbic Acid, and Lipids

TL;DR: In this article, the phase separation behavior of wheat flour was studied for three wheat cultivars when influ- without disturbing the composite system, and the influence of factors such as mixing time, ascorbic acid, defatting, and lecithin, which are known to affect both the baking behavior and the Theological behavior at small deformations was investigated.

Modeling of tensile properties of polymer blends: PPO/poly(styrene-co-p-chlorostyrene)

TL;DR: In this paper, Young's modulus, break strength, and elongation to yield (break) strength were measured for blends of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) with polystyrene (PS), poly(p‐chlorostyrene) (PpClS), and random copolymers of styrene and pClS.
