Abstract Method for Low Areal Density ABSTRACT METHOD FOR LOW AREAL DENSITY MATERIAL STRUCTURE CHARACTERI- ZATION: SOFT X-RAY FORMATION AND COMPRESSIBILITY MEASUREMENT by Guizhou Wang In this paper, a new method of characterizing nonwoven structure and a modification of paper towel compression study were discussed. Though nonwoven technology is not a new one, there is a lack of research on its structural properties. Due to its bulky nature, we used soft X-ray to take the radiographic images of nonwoven and paper towel sam- ples. After preprocessing, the soft X-ray films of nonwoven samples were used to calcu- late the areal density using specific Matlab code on the workstation. Then the compressi- bility measurements were performed on the modified Continuous Micro Compression Tester for paper towel samples. Direct visualization of the compression process was ob- tained.

Thanks for his patience, guide, and thoughtful ideas to help me both on my research and thesis during my graduate study here. I also want to thank Dr. Lalvani and Dr. Coffin, for being my committee members and giving me precious suggestions and advices for my thesis. I would also like to give my gratitude to Michael Weeks, for the LabVIEW programming of the micro compression instrument utilized in this research. Finally, I want to thank all the professors, technicians, graduate students and my friends for their help and encouragement throughout my study here. vii Chapter 1: Introduction 1. Background Low density (LD) fibrous materials hold an important place in society. From consumer goods such as hygienic tissues, kitchen towels, and nonwoven textiles, to more specialized applications such as filters, fuel cell components or thermal insulation, LD fibrous products are ubiquitously a part of everyday life. This research focuses on low density (low grammage and low volumetric apparent density) web materials that fall within the categories of, 1) paper

The assemblage includes 137 projectile points, bifaces or point fragments, nearly all of the Cascade-type. Two stem fragments and one complete point which are similar to those of the 2 Windust Phase which dates 10,000-8,000 B.P. in the southern Columbia Plateau also were found. Stone knives, choppers, scrapers, hammerstones, cores and microblades also are included in the assemblage.

    The Construction of Preference in Engineering Design and Implications for Green Products by Erin Faith MacDonald A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Mechanical Engineering) in The University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Professor Panos Y. Papalambros, Co‐Chair Professor Richard D. Gonzalez, Co‐Chair Professor Fred M. Feinberg Associate Professor Steven J. Skerlos 1 © Erin MacDonald, 2008 2 Acknowledgements I am thankful for the contributions of my collaborators in the following chapters. Panos Papalambros and Richard Gonzalez both actively contributed this work, and Chapters 6 and 7 are based on papers that we co‐authored. Katie Kerfoot was instrumental in the execution of the design optimization in Chapter 6, and is a co‐author on the corresponding paper. Marisa Liepa indentified much of the background literature on paper towels in Chapter 5, and located Mark Lewis at the University of Washington, who manufactured and tested the towel samples. Fred Feinberg and Elea Feit provided helpful suggestions on the survey design and subsequent publications. Luth Research provided survey panelists at a generous rate. I am grateful for the financial support of a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, the Donald C. Graham Chair Endowment, the Antilium Project, and the Rackham Graduate School. I would like to thank my advisors Panos and Rich for all they have taught me about clarity of thought, writing, hypotheses, and analysis. I have learned by example through watching these two excellent teachers, mentors, and academics. As co‐authors on our papers, their concerns for each others' interests and commitments are touching.

  • Paper Towels
    Consumer Decision Making Contest 2001-2002 Study Guide Paper Towels In the early 1900s, Arthur Scott was head of a paper products company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, (which is now Kimberly-Clark) and he had big problem. One day, he received an entire railroad car full of paper at his plant that wasn't good for anything. The paper had been rolled too thick for toilet tissue, its intended purpose. So, what we he supposed to do with all of this paper?!? Fortunately, Scott heard about a local school teacher who had developed a novel idea to help fight colds in school. Instead of asking students to use the roller towels in the school restrooms to dry their hands, she gave every runny nosed student a small piece of soft paper to use. That way the roller towel in the toilets would not become contaminated with germs. Aha! Scott decided he could make “paper towels” from all that paper in his warehouse and try selling them. He made perforated rolls of "towels" thirteen inches wide and eighteen inches long. And, thus, paper towels were created. It took many years before paper towels became popular with consumers and began replacing cloth towels in the kitchen. And, it’s taken even longer for them to come in the variety of patterns that are now available. What a major industry from such humble beginnings! Process of Making Paper Towels Paper towels are made from trees that are processed into pulpwood. Long fibers from softwood trees, such as pine and spruce, are most commonly used.
