Certain Rheological Aspects of Functionalized Guar Gum

Figure 6

Effect of radiation processing on the viscoelastic behavior of methylated guar (MG) of degree of substitution (D.S.) = 0.1: (a) unirradiated; (b) irradiated at 1 KGy; (c) irradiated at 2.5 KGy; (d) irradiated at 5 KGy; (e) irradiated at 10 KGy; (f) irradiated at 20 KGy; (g) irradiated at 50 KGy.

(a) MG D.S. = 0.1; 0 KGy

(b) MG D.S. = 0.1; 1 KGy

(c) MG D.S. = 0.1; 2.5 KGy

(d) MG D.S. = 0.1; 5 KGy

(e) MG D.S. = 0.1; 10 KGy

(f) MG D.S. = 0.1; 20 KGy

(g) MG D.S. = 0.1; 50 KGy
