Formula for a New Foam

چکیده
As the 2010 phaseout date for chlorofluorocarbons draws nearer, materials engineers are working to find replacements for these ozone-depleting chemicals in the production of plastics and other products. One team of engineers is focusing on a combination of two low-cost and environmentally benign substances--supercritical carbon dioxide and clay nanoparticles--to meet these needs. The result is a strong yet lightweight alternative that retains all the beneficial qualities of solid plastic.

Formulation of a Herbal Shampoo using Total Saponins of Acanthophyllum squarrosum
Shampoos are products which remove surface grease and dirt from the hair shaft and scalp. The cleansing or detergent action of a shampoo is a primary function. However, the foaming characteristic of a shampoo has an important role in its acceptability. Often alkanolamides are used for the formation of a stable foam; but because of producing nitrosamines, they are potentially carcinogenic compou...
متن کاملPerformance of Air Foam Flooding under Low Frequency Vibration
Foam injection is widely applied in amounts of fields to drilling, production, and formation protection. Sometimes, the application result is disappointing, which is caused by the failure of bubble generation in foam flooding. Therefore, it is necessary to seek ways for improving the performance of foam injection. An increased disturbance to the stratum, like the vibration caused by a seismic o...

متن کاملModeling of Compression Curves of Flexible Polyurethane Foam with Variable Density, Chemical Formulations and Strain Rates
Flexible Polyurethane (PU) foam samples with different densities and chemical formulations were tested in quasi-static stress-strain compression tests. The compression tests were performed using the Lloyd LR5K Plus instrument at fixed compression strain rate of 0.033 s-1 and samples were compressed up to 70% compression strains. All foam samples were tested in the foam rise direction and their ...
متن کاملMATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF THE EFFECT OF FOAM DEGRADATION ON MOULD FILLING IN THE GREY IRON EPC PROCESS
In this investigation a new model was developed to calculate gas pressure at the melt/foam interface (Gap) resulting from foam degradation during mould filling in the Lost Foam Casting (LFC) process. Different aspects of the process, such as foam degradation, gas elimination, transient mass, heat transfer, and permeability of the refractory coating were incorporated into this model. A Computati...
متن کاملA New Step-based Photoreactor for Degradation of Acid Dye using N-TiO2-P25-coated Ceramic Foam under Visible Light
In the present study, a new step-based photoreactor was presented to investigate the degradation of Acid Red 73 under visible light irradiation. Four N-TiO2-coated alumina foams prepared by the modified sol-gel process were arranged in each step as photocatalyst. The experimental design methodology was employed to assess the interaction between the operational parameters in the step-...
