Properties Of Materials

Numerous experimental techniques of analysis find applications in many branches of the archaeometry. Among them, Raman spectroscopy carved out a niche in the field of diagnostic and conservation of cultural heritage. The exceptional ability to predict and discover the structural properties of materials set for Raman spectroscopy, an exclusive role among the analytic techniques, is further boosted when it is coupled with mathematical or statistical models able to deepen the studied phenomena. In this work, we present a review of recent studies where pairing Raman spectroscopy and mathematical models allowed achieving important results in the case of potteries, porcelains, ancient and modern paper, ancient jewelry, and pigment degradation. The potentialities of this approach are evidenced and analyzed in detail.

Chia Oil

Considerable attention has been paid to emulsion gels (EGs) in recent years due to their interesting applications in food. The aim of this work is to shed light on the role played by chia oil in the technological and structural properties of EGs made from soy protein isolates (SPI) and alginate. Two systems were studied: oil-free SPI gels (SPI/G) and the corresponding SPI EGs (SPI/EG) that contain chia oil. The proximate composition, technological properties (syneresis, pH, color and texture) and structural properties using Raman spectroscopy were determined for SPI/G and SPI/EG. No noticeable (p > 0.05) syneresis was observed in either sample. The pH values were similar (p > 0.05) for SPI/G and SPI/EG, but their texture and color differed significantly depending on the presence of chia oil. SPI/EG featured significantly lower redness and more lightness and yellowness and exhibited greater puncture and gel strengths than SPI/G. Raman spectroscopy revealed significant changes in the protein secondary structure, i.e., higher (p < 0.05) α-helix and lower (p < 0.05) β-sheet, turn and unordered structures, after the incorporation of chia oil to form the corresponding SPI/EG. Apparently, there is a correlation between these structural changes and the textural modifications observed.

This work is devoted to generalize and analyze the previouse results of new photonic-crystalline nanomaterials based on synthetic opals and active dielectrics. Data were characterized by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Active dielectrics infiltrated into the pores of the opal from the melt. The phase structure composition of the infiltrated materials into the pores of the opal matrix were analyzed. The results of x-ray diffraction and Raman spectra allowed to establish the crystal state of active dielectrics in the pores of the opal. The Raman spectra of some opal-active dielectric nanocomposites revealed new bands and changes in band intensities compared to the spectra of single crystals of active dielectrics. Further more, differences in band intensities in the spectra were measured at different spots of the sample&lsquo;s surface were observed. The revealed changes were attributed to the formation of new crystalline phases due to the injected dielectrics in opal pores.
