Influencing materials processing

Passive corrosion caused by chemically inert substances is the same whether the substance is living or dead. The substance acts as an occluding medium, changes heat conduction, and/or influences flow. Concentration cell corrosion, increased corrosion reaction kinetics, and erosion-corrosion can he caused by biological masses whose metabolic processes do not materially influence corrosion processes. Among these masses are slime layers. 

Designing with plastics based on material process behaviors , Donald V. Rosato, Marlene G. Rosato, and Dominick V. Rosato, Kluwer Academic Publishers (2000). This book provides a simplified and practical approach to designing plastic products that fundamentally relates to the load, temperature, time, and environment subjected to a product. It will provide the basic behaviors in what to consider when designing plastic products to meet performance and cost requirements. Important aspects are presented such as understanding the advantages of different shapes and how they influence designs. 

This unified approach to polymer materials science is divided into three major sections Basic Principles, Influence of Processing on Properties, and Engineering Design Properties. 

In addition to composition and starting materials particle size, the conductivity of the Ni-YSZ cermet anode is strongly influenced by processing procedures including the sintering and the reduction conditions of the cermet, which will be discussed in detail in this section. 

The molten wax method requires that the properties of a simulant are very close to those of the liquid of interest. Thus, the choice of suitable materials is limited. The method also suffers from some practical problems in preheating the wax and errors incurred by changes in physical properties of the wax during cooling after leaving the injector. Since the properties of the wax (notably surface tension and viscosity) critically influence the process of droplet formation, it may not be accurately reproduced due to the changes in these properties with temperature. Therefore, it may be required that the air in the near-nozzle region, where the key process of droplet formation occurs, be heated to the same temperature as that of the molten wax. 

The final product specification can influence the process with regard to processing conditions (pressure, temperature, pretreatment of feed material), and may require fractionated separation or further treatment such as concentration, purification or... 

The solution of this set of equations gives the non-isothermal induction period x (8) as a function of non-isothermal shear rate 8 for different values of the parameters P and Fig. 2.32 shows the results of calculations for a wide range of dimensionless shear rates from 0.01 up to 100. The parameter P is equal to 0.03 and % varies from 0 to 1. At high shear rates, the decrease in the induction period is proportional to 8 1. This means that a 100-fold increase in shear rate results in an almost 100-fold reduction in the induction period, which could well be catastrophic for material processing if the process rate is increased. The influence of the parameter on x (8) is significant only for high shear rates.

In contrast to this approach, the parameters with the dimensions of p and T, these being necessary for the dimensionless representation of the process, can also be formed by the parameters influencing the process in question. In this case, one can speak of the process-related representation of the material function. 

It has already been pointed out that experiments in differently scaled models are inevitable if physical properties cannot be changed and therefore one has to use the same material system (Example 8 Mechanical foam breaker, section 6.1). The same is true if the acceleration due to gravity is influencing the process under investigation. However, as we all know, gravity cannot be varied on Earth (Example Surface aeration, section 10.3.2). 

As can be seen from all of these works, sequential IPNs have been extensively used with silicone with various crosslinking reactions and polymers. As a result, attention must be paid to the influence of processing conditions, of the chemical nature of components (silicone and the other polymer), of the evolution of the material at each step of the IPN synthesis etc. Depending on the mastering of these parameters, reactivity, morphology and entanglement can be controlled and consequently targeted properties can be reached.
