In tbgitoo/textureAnalyzerGels: Reading and analyzing texture analyzer data

Sample Gel compression data

Description

Compression curve for a 1.5 percent CMC (MW=90kDa) cryogel, crosslinked at every 10th residue by adipic dihydrazide (crosslinking pH is 6.7).

Usage

data(sampleGel)

Format

A data frame named sampleGel with the following variables

Distance

Distance travalled by the chuck from its original height, in millimeters

direction

Direction of movement (i.e. down, then up)

Force

Force measured by the texture Analyzer. In grams.

Time

Time elapsed since the beginning of the compression experiment. In seconds.

pressure

Pressure (stress) as calculated form Force / gel cross section are. In Pascals

In addition a numerical value names start_height_mm that indicates the height of the chuck at the beginning of the experiment (where the Distance travelled is 0).

Examples

# Generation of the data
path = system.file('sampleData', package = 'textureAnalyzerGels');
sampleGel = read_texture_analyzer_tab(paste(path,"sampleGel.tab",sep="/"),chuck_diameter=4e-3)
start_height_mm=2.5

# Loading of the data and elementary plotting
data(sampleGel)
plot(sampleGel$Distance, sampleGel$pressure/1e3,type="l",xlab="Distance [mm]",ylab="Pressure [kPa]")
