  2. Starch gelatinization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch_gelatinization

    Starch gelatinization is a process of breaking down of intermolecular bonds of starch molecules in the presence of water and heat, allowing the hydrogen bonding sites (the hydroxyl hydrogen and oxygen) to engage more water. This irreversibly dissolves the starch granule in water. Water acts as a plasticizer.

  3. Collodion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collodion

    While in Paris, René Dagron became familiar with the collodion wet plate and collodion-albumen dry plate processes which he would later adapt to his microfilm and Stanhope production techniques. Collodion was used by Alfred Nobel in his development of blasting gelatin , a more powerful, flexible, and water resistant variation of his already ...

  4. Gelatin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin

    Gelatin is used as a binder in match heads [39] and sandpaper. [40] Cosmetics may contain a non-gelling variant of gelatin under the name hydrolyzed collagen (hydrolysate). Gelatin was first used as an external surface sizing for paper in 1337 and continued as a dominant sizing agent of all European papers through the mid-nineteenth century. [41]

  5. Hydrogel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogel

    Gelatin, here in sheets for cooking, is a hydrogel. Peptide hydrogel formation shown by the inverted vial method. A hydrogel is a biphasic material, a mixture of porous and permeable solids and at least 10% of water or other interstitial fluid.

  6. Hydrocolloid dressing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocolloid_dressing

    The active surface of the dressing is coated with a cross-linked adhesive mass containing a dispersion of gelatin, pectin and carboxymethyl cellulose together with other polymers and adhesives forming a flexible wafer. In contact with wound exudate, the polysaccharides and other polymers absorb water and swell, forming a gel. The gel may be ...

    Nail polish, whipped cream, ketchup, molasses, syrups, paper pulp in water, latex paint, ice, blood, some silicone oils, some silicone coatings, sand in water: Generalized Newtonian fluids: Viscosity is function of the shear strain rate. Stress depends on normal and shear strain rates and also the pressure applied on it Blood plasma, custard, water

  8. Gelatin silver print - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin_silver_print

    These light-sensitive materials are stable under normal keeping conditions and are able to be exposed and processed even many years after their manufacture. The "dry plate" gelatin process was an improvement on the collodion wet-plate process dominant from the 1850s–1880s, which had to be exposed and developed immediately after coating.

  9. Photographic processing - Wikipedia

    However, due to poor biodegradability, these chelating agents are found in alarmingly high concentrations in some water sources from which municipal tap water is taken. [14] [15] Water containing these chelating agents can leach metal from water treatment equipment as well as pipes. This is becoming an issue in Europe and some parts of the world.
