A Formulation Study of Long-Fiber Thermoplastic Polypropylene (Part 2): The Effects of Coupling Agent Type and Properties

Presented by: Creig Bowland, PPG Industries, October 21, 2009
$99.00
Description:
The relationship between the resin and fiber properties in polypropylene long-fiber thermoplastics is further analyzed in the second part of this work. The properties of the maleic anhydride–grafted polypropylene additives (coupling agents) are studied, and correlations between the maleic anhydride content, melt flow, and base polymer are presented. Various samples of polypropylene long-fiber thermoplastic pellets (PP GLFT and PP DLFT) were compounded with various coupling agents. The materials were then molded and tested for normal mechanical properties.

ISBN: 
9780815520511
$150.00
Description:

This book focuses on the additives currently important in the polyolefins industry, and on new additives of increasing interest, such as nanofillers and environmentally sustainable materials.

Effects on the Viscosity of Linear and Branched Polypropylene

Presented by: Hee Eon (Heon) Park, McGill University, April 16, 2008
$99.00
Description:
Supercritical fluids (SCF) such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen are of interest as physical blowing agents in the manufacture of plastic foam and as plasticizers to reduce melt viscosity during processing. The processor must know the combined effects of dissolved SCF, pressure, and temperature on the rheological properties of the melt in order to achieve optimum processing conditions. To produce good foam products, polymer blends are sometimes used, for example, linear polypropylene with branched polypropylene.

Finite Element Analysis of Cell Coarsening in Polymer Foaming

Presented by: Zhenjin Zhu, the University of Toronto, August 18, 2005
$99.00
Description:
In this study, cell coarsening in plastic foaming is investigated through numerical simulation. Cell coarsening occurring in two adjacent bubbles of different sizes in a finite volume of polymer melt is considered to be representative of the whole foaming system. A quadratic triangle-based finite element analysis with an implicit scheme for time evolution is utilized to solve the governing diffusion equation in the axisymmetric coordinate system. The effects of the bulk gas concentration, the intercellular distance, and the initial bubble sizes on cell coarsening are estimated.

Production of Thick Microcellular Thermoplastic Sheet

Presented by: Vipin Kumar, University of Washington, March 31, 2004
$99.00
Description:
Microcellular foams have largely been explored for thin - sheet applications, with thickness on the order of 1 mm. In this study, the basic batch microcellular process is scaled up to produce thick flat sheets, in the 3 - 15 mm range, from a number of thermoplastics such as PMMA, PS and ABS. It is shown that an unfoamed integral skin of desired thickness can be produced, making it possible to create sandwich structures with a microcellular core and a solid skin.

Optimization of the balance of physical and mechanical properties including; scratch resistance, stiffness, low temperature impact, dimensional stability, processability, surface aesthetics, durability and economics continues to be a driving force for development. Often the most demanding properties to improve for TPOs today are scratch resistance and low temperature impact strength.

Solid-state Polyimide Foaming from Powder Precursors

Presented by: Camilo I. Cano, Department of Polymer Engineering, University of Akron, September 2, 2004
$99.00

Solid poly(amic acid) precursor is used for foaming into microspheres or foams depending on whether the powder particles are free or confined inside a volume. This precursor is produced in a prior process of size reduction where a solid-state solution is ground into smaller particles. Solid-state foaming of polyimide powder precursors is studied by examining concurrent and competitive phenomena that determine the morphology and physical properties of the foam unit cell. Effects of particle size and shape on bubble nucleation and growth will be addressed.

Thermoplastic and Rubber Compounds: Technology and Physical Chemistry

By James L. White & Kwang-Jea Kim, 2008, 290 pages
ISBN: 
9781569904077
$102.00
Description:
As the polymer industry developed, compound recipes became much more complex and sophisticated. Separate compounding cultures developed for different polymer types, such as elastomers, polyvinyl chloride, polyolefins, and thermoplastic elastomers. Recipes have generally been designed on the basis of considering each active ingredient independently and presuming these ingredients do not interact. This often turns out not to be the case. When the number of components reaches three or more, unexpected consequences often result.

Toward a Systematic Approach to Evaluation and Resolution of Purging Issues in Thermoplastic Processing

Frank Van Haste, NOVACHEM, May 19, 2005
$99.00
Description:
Purging Issues (which encompass changes in color and/or resin type and the removal of contamination from the equipment) historically have received little attention from engineering and production managements. The pressures to optimize productivity that prevail in the modern industrial environment make this kind of inattention unaccptable. This presentation describes a systematic approach to the evaluation and resolution of these issues that is commensurate with the importance of their impact on productivity and gives examples of the benefits derived when such an approach is adopted.
