The invention relates to a method and system for monitoring and adjusting both air content and rheology (e.g., slump, slump flow) properties of a hydratable concrete mix contained within a concrete mixer. The system simultaneously tracks dosage of both rheology-modifying admixture (e.g., polycarboxylate polymer cement dispersant) and air control agent or “ACA” (e.g., air entraining agent) by reference to at least four nominal dose response (“NDR”) curves or profiles, which at least four NDR profiles are based on the respective behaviors of each of the ACA and rheology-modifying agent on air content and rheology.

The invention provides an aqueous inkjet ink composition comprises a polymeric compound comprising discrete particles responsive to an external stimulus, and a functional material, wherein the functional material may be incorporated as part of the polymeric particles, the particles causing the composition to have a first rheological state and a different second rheological state in response to a stimulated change in conditions, the first rheological state being associated with a first lower viscosity of the composition, wherein the particles have a first lower volume, enabling the composition to pass through an inkjet printhead orifice and the second rheological state being associated with a second higher viscosity of the composition, wherein the particles have a second higher volume, enabling immobilisation of droplets of the composition on a substrate. The inkjet composition is particularly useful in a continuous inkjet printing system for printing onto a wide range of surfaces including impermeable surfaces.

The invention provides a system for the preshearing based control of the flow and deformation behavior, i.e., the setting kinetics, and the time dependent shear viscosity, elasticity of aqueous cementitious suspensions that can be used for bone repair and regeneration. The dynamic cement microstructure is tailored to the demands of the surgical tasks (faster / slower setting) or additive manufacturing tasks (lower / higher viscosity) by application of various preshearing conditions. Since the relationships between the preshearing and pressurization conditions and the setting kinetics and the time dependent changes in elasticity and viscosity are complex, a priori characterization of viscoelastic properties using the advanced rheological characterization technique of small-amplitude oscillatory rheometry is needed to enable such tailoring. The preshearing system is intended to give control on the injectability and setting time of any calcium phosphate cement formulation to the surgeon during an orthopedic surgery where a batch of bone cement is processed. Other possible utilizations of the system include controlling the setting kinetics, shear viscosity and facilitating the resultant flow stability of cementitious ceramic suspensions processed in direct ink writing assemblies for additive manufacturing of cement constructs, in injection systems for oil wells, restoration and fracking.

The invention relates generally to gels or viscous fluids formed by the coordination of certain amino-functionalized siloxanes with titanates and the use of the same in cosmetic compositions, including for providing long-wearing, comfortable films on a keratinous surface (e.g., lips). The gels or viscous fluids may exhibit unique rheological properties, including shear thickening (dilatancy) and / or rheopecty, at low shear rates which may lead to self-leveling effects, including renewable shine; and may exhibit high gloss and low shear.

The invention relates to a concrete pumpability control method based on rheological properties, which belongs to the technical field of construction engineering concrete. In view of the lack of accuracy of the current concrete pumpability evaluation method. This method first uses the plastic viscosity index and the expansion degree index to fit the relationship curve between the plastic viscosity and the expansion degree index of concrete of different strength grades, breaking through the traditional evaluation limitations of "the greater the concrete expansion degree, the more favorable the pumping construction" , to effectively ensure the quality of concrete in pumping construction; at the same time, through the comprehensive cost index and plastic viscosity index, the relationship curve between the comprehensive cost index and plastic viscosity index of concrete of different strength grades is fitted to determine the concrete plastic viscosity index suitable for pumping construction , to reduce the cost of concrete pumping construction; through the scientific determination of the expansion degree index, a concrete pumpability control method based on rheological properties is finally formed to ensure the smooth progress of the project.
