Abstract:

A series of four water-blown flexible polyurethane foams was produced in which the water content was varied from 2 to 5 pph at a constant isocyanate index of 110. A portion of each foam was thermally compression molded into a plaque. The morphology of the foams and plaques was investigated using DMS, DSC, FTIR, TEM, SEM, swelling, WAXS, and SAXS. A high degree of phase separation occurs in these foams and the degree of phase separation is independent of water (hard segment) content. In the foam with the lowest water content the morphology is similar to that of typical segmented urethane elasto

Abstract:

In the packaging industry, cushioning products are usually made of plastic materials, such as polystyrene. The insulation and lightweight character make it more popular and convenient to use. However, the extensive use of it creates more waste leading to an environmental problem. Usually the cushioning foams are discarded after being used for inbox protection as packaging material; eventually they end up in a landfill. Most plastic foams are not biodegradable, which cannot be composted and will create more and more waste that affects the ecological system. In the mean time, foams made u

Abstract:

The use of cellular foam as a core material in light-weight structural applications is of considerable interest. However, advances in this technology have been limited due to the lack of information concerning the macroscopic material behavior of cellular foams. Of particular interest in the design of composite structures is the shear modulus, G, of the core material, which must be established with a high degree of accuracy. Current ASTM test methods for shear modulus determination were researched and found inadequate for testing cellular foam materials. The difficulty in testing foam and the

Abstract:

This thesis addresses a new technique of foaming on polymer-paperboard composites which combines the advantages of traditional polymeric foam with the environmental benefits of paperboard. Paperboard is sandwiched between two extruded polymeric layers of different densities. On application of heat, one face is foamed by the evaporating moisture in the board; the other face serves as a barrier. This work is directed at gaining a better understanding of the fundamental processes in foaming polymers on paperboard. The ultimate goal is to be able to produce uniform bubbles of a predetermined size

Abstract:

Development of foam cutting machines for rapid prototyping and manufacturing purposes began shortly after the first additive manufacturing machines became commercialised in the late 1980s. Increased computer power, the development and adoption of CAD/CAM software and rising demand for customisation has caused the rapid prototyping industry to grow swiftly in recent decades. While conventional rapid prototyping technologies are continuing to improve in speed and accuracy the ability to produce large (> 1m³) prototypes, moulds or parts it is still expensive, time consuming and often impossible.

The change has been prompted by evidence that the structural ductility factor gives a poor indication of the demand on individual plastic regions. This

Rotational moulding is a low pressure, high temperature manufacturing method and is considered to be the best for making large hollow shape plastic parts. Due to its long heating cycle, mould rotation during heating and slow cooling rate, it is completely different from injection or other moulding processes. The mechanical properties of rotationally moulded plastics are totally dependent on unique heating or cooling cycles. With the growing demand for rotationally moulded plastics in load bearing and other applications, a better understanding of their fracture properties is essential. In the r

The vision for this system is that it will be able to rapidly create large volume foam models at low cost, for a range of potential applications.
