Estudo físico-químico de soluções aquosas de Agarose através da Reometria. 2016. 39f. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Química) - Instituto de Química, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2016.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/38279Agarose is one of the main polymers of Agar, largely used in pharmaceutical and food industries, and it is widely used in hydrogel form. Thus, it was necessary a physical-chemical study to deepen the knowledge in the way of how its polymeric chains behave in aqueous and hydrogel forms. In this work, aqueous solutions of agarose with different concentrations from 0.1 to 2.0 g/L were studied. From rheometry, flux curve and viscosity were obtained. Parameters, such as temperature and concentration were used to try to find the point where a possible gel-sol transition could happen. Thus, it was noticed that the point where this transition point happened was depended of the temperature and the concentration.openAccessPonto de Transição.Agarose.Reometria.Transition point.Rheometry.bachelorThesisQuímica
