The template serves two major purposes (1) it organizes all the technical information needed for materials selection and (2) on a large job or project, the template is a convenient means to transmit process and materials selection information to design engineers. 

In addition, the Material Engineering Center at Dow Plastics offers its PAMS (Processes and Materials Selection) system on the Internet to help designers match material and fabrication requirements with product and economic requirements (www. plasticsnot.com/moc). 

Catalyst systems used for polymerization have a large impact on the molecular weight distribution and have undergone tremendous changes in the last decade (1). As older catalysts systems are replaced by new catalysts, film manufacturing processes and material selection have become more critical to ensure maintenance or improvement in film properties without adversely impacting the manufacturing process.

Other above-ground continuous flow systems have been designed and operated for SCWO processes. A system developed by ModeU Development Corp. (Modec) uses a tubular reactor and can be operated at temperatures above 500°C. It employs a pressure letdown system in which soHd, Hquids, and gases are separated prior to pressure release. This simplifies valve design and material selection on the Hquid leg. 

The functions and property characteristics of a product will be largely determined by the performance requirements and material selected for fabrication. The basic requirement of the process is its capability of handling a suitable material. For example, if a major function requirement is for resistance to creep under high loads, it is probable that a long-fiber RP will be necessary. Thus it would immediately eliminate such processes as blow molding and conventional injection molding. 

GE E-seminars (http //www. ge-plastics.com/resins/designsolutiony seminar/) GE s virtual conference center offers the ability to interact with GE Plastics real-time in live on-line conferences. E-Seminar examples include Material Selection, which provides the attendee with the knowledge, skills and competencies to determine how application requirements influence the material specification process and Materials for Single-Use Microwave Food Packaging, which reviews trends in the growing Freezer-to-Microwave Food Packaging industry. 

Aspects of bonding and structure/dynamics in selected carbonium ions were presented and discussed. These representative studies demonstrate the power of structural theory in the development of concepts that could lead to new and efficient processes, especially in the area of hydrocarbon chemistry and catalysis. There is no doubt that as newer theoretical and experimental techniques and models are introduced, they will be applied to the study of carbonium ions. A deeper understanding of structure/dynamics of hypervalent non-classical carbonium ions will not only deepen our knowledge of structural theory in chemistry, but could also help in the development of new processes and materials useful in our daily life. 

The targets of electrocatalysis are at the basis of recent developments in the field of water electrolysis. First, it is necessary to distinguish between materials evaluation and materials selection. The former is the search for materials with better and better properties for the wanted electrode process. The latter implies global considerations of applicability. This is probably what makes academic research differ from R D. The former is favored by scientifically exciting performance, in the latter it is necessary to find a compromise between, for instance, activity and stability or between efficiency and economic convenience. 

For many plants that supply a pan-continental market, pallet sizes are often a source of complexity because collated primary packs are not modular for the whole pallet range. Within Europe it is not unusual for multiple retail outlets to specify the minimum pallet utilisation level to be achieved. It is interesting that many drinks carton dimensions have been chosen to be modular, and this should also be done for other pack formats. By taking secondary packaging into account early in the packaging design and material selection process, a speedier and more economical result will be achieved. 

For a majority of applications, the modular design has been accepted for the twin screw extruder. This allows optimum adjustment of wear protection in the respective process zone and material selection for the corresponding process zones to ensure a maximum life span. 

It is important to note that LCA is a tool to evaluate all environmental effects of a product or process throughout its entire life cycle. This includes identifying and quantifying energy and materials used and wastes released to the environment, assessing their environmental impact, and evaluating opportunities for improvement. LCA can also be used in various ways to evaluate alternatives including in-process analysis, material selection, product evaluation, product comparison, and policy-... 

The writer has participated in obtaining and publishing unit consumption factors it seems worthwhile to record how these have been made available. The procedure was to work up a flow sheet of a selected process and material and energy balances including, when possible, hours of labor and kilowatt hours of electricity used in the process. If the data, from which the flow sheet and unit consumption factor calculations were made, were reliable and based upon wide experience, the result was satisfactory. 

It is possible, by manipulating the chemistry of the brominated CEN resin, to make the molding compound more thermally stable. Through proper selection of the chemistry, process and material for brominating the CEN resin, it is...
