An application of this empirical method enabled to widen the observation horizon of viscoelastic properties. It was also determined that the scope of its applicability is limited by amylose content in the solution. In high amylose solutions, for which up to 40% (w/w) concentration was the highest one obtained, calibration caused the formation of master curve in the widest frequency range. Determined values of scaling coefficients aC changed exponentially in starch concentration function in the solution. For waxy starch solutions of maximum concentration equal to 20% (w/w), scaling did not significantly widen the observation window. Based on master curves constructed in such way, continuous relaxation spectra H(λ) were determined using Tikhonov regularisation method. Their structure indicates advantageous of viscous elements in the process of viscoelastic phenomena formation.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Rheological scaling properties of starch solutions in dimethylsulfoxide}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/84729/PDF/01-paper-Ptaszek.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10176-012-0029-7}, keywords={viscoelasticity, Maxwell model, continuous relaxation spectra, starch}, }
