Colloid Journal Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The rheological behavior of 1 wt % suspensions of micro- and nanocellulose in olive oil is studied at various electric field strengths up to 7 kV/mm. The particle morphology is evaluated by optical and electron microscopy. Under an electric field, a contrast transition from a simply viscous behavior of fluids to a visco-elastic one is observed, while the suspensions show yield stress and storage modulus. A higher electrorheological response of suspensions filled with nanocellulose compared to microcellulose has been established. Based on the dependences of the static yield stress on the electric field strength, an analysis of the mechanism of the electrorheological effect has been provided. The use of completely natural components has shown promise of developing novel, environmentally friendly “smart” materials.

Full size image

Olive oil was analyzed according to the previously proposed approach [49]. The sample was dissolved in methanol at a ratio of 1/1000 and analyzed by mass spectrometry using an Agilent 6495 (United States). As a result of the analysis, ions typical for olive oil were found. The ammonium adduct of triolein C57H104O6 (m/z = 904.8) is the main triglyceride of olive oil, the product of its further dissociation (m/z = 603.1; 878.1), and the ammonium triglyceride adduct POO (palmitic and two oleic residues) (m/z = 875.1), which is the second most abundant triglyceride in olive oil, were detected.
