Extrusion Processing for Manufacture of Low-Density, Fine-Celled Polypropylene Foam Hani E. Naguib Degree of DacCor of Philosophy, 2001 Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering University of Toronto A continuous extrusion process for the manufacture of low-density, fine-celled poiypropylene foams is presented. Due to its outstanding Functiond characteristics and low materiai cost, polypropylene foarns have been considered as a substitute for other thennoplastic foams in industriai appIications. However, only limited research has been conducted on the production of polypropylene foarns because of the weak melt strength, and no research has been conducted to investigate the mechanisms that govern the expandabiiity of poIypropylene foams. This thesis presents the effective scrategies for increasing the volume expansion ratio as welI as the mechanisms goveming the foam density of polypropylene foams. The basic strategies taken in this study for the promotion of a large volume expansion ratio of polypropylene foams are: (a) to use a branched materiai For preventing ceIl coalescence; (b) to use a long-chah blowing agent with low diffusivity; (c) to lower the melt temperature for decreasing gas Ioss during expansion; and (d) to optirnize the processing conditions in the die for avoiding premature crysrdlization. The effects of processing and materiais parameters on the foam morphoiogies of poIypropyIene materiais were thoroughly studied using a single-screw tandem foam extrusion system. A careFuI analysis of extended experimentd resuIts obtained at various processing conditions indicates that the final votume expansion ratio of the extruded polypropylene foams blown with butane is governed either by Ioss of blowing agent or by crystdlization of the polyrner matrix. By tailoring the processing conditions in the die, ultra low-density, fine-celied polypropylene foarns with very high expansion ratio up to 90-fold were successfuIly produced from the branched poiypropyiene resins. Fundamental snidies have also been conducted to investisate the effect of various processing and materials parameters on the thermodynamic, thermal and meit fracture behaviors of polypropyIene melts with foaming additives that influence the ceIl morphology of poiypropylene foams. ln memory of my Aunt Aida, who passed away during my Ph.0. program. 1 know you still hear me and pray for me. 1 thank you for al1 the pars you took care of me, for your love, support and encouragement. 1 could not make it without you.

In the food industry, these formulations can be used to mimic fats and to deliver bioactive compounds. In the last decade, there has been increasing interest in these structures, not only from a scientific point of view, i.e., studying new molecules, methodologies for gelification, and new structures, but also from a technological point of view, with researchers and companies exploring these structures as a way to overcome certain challenges and/or create new and innovative products. One of the exciting applications of oleogels is the delivery of functional molecules, where the incorporation of oil-soluble functional compounds can be explored not only at the macroscale but also at micro- and nanoscales, resulting in different release behaviors and also different applications. This review presents and discusses the most recent works on the development, production, characterization, and applications of oleogels and other oleogel-based systems to deliver functional molecules in foods.

ABSTRACT Industrial hygiene surveys were conducted at urea formaldehyde and polyurethane foam thermal insulation manufacturing and application facilities as part of a NIOSH industrywide study of foam insulation materials. In all, eight sites were surveyed--two sets of manufacturers and applicators for each of the two types of foams. Personal and area monitoring were conducted to determine exposure levels to chemical substances and physical agents. Within the urea formaldehyde industries surveyed formaldehyde exposures at the manufacturing facilities ranged from a TWA value of 0.18 ppm to peak values of 5-10 ppm; exposures at the application sites ranged from <0.08 to 2.4 ppm.

The amount of foaming agent is a fixed 2 wt%. We used a twin-screw extruder and added the individual components in the form of dry mixture through the hopper of the extruder. We characterized the PLA matrix and the chemical blowing agents with different testing methods. In case of the produced foams we carried out morphological and mechanical tests and used scanning electron microscopy to examine cell structure. We showed that PLA can be successfully foamed with the use of chemical blowing agents. The best results were achieved with an exothermic CBA and with PLA type 8052D. The cell population density of PLA foams produced this way was 4.82 × 105 cells/cm3, their expansion was 2.36, their density 0.53 g/cm3 and their void fraction was 57.61%.

Following the conception of dentistry in the 7th Century B.C. and the field’s subsequent growth, the embodiment of toothpaste has evolved from containing natural substances such as tea leaves to abrasive chemicals, particularly: fluoride, triclosan, and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). Regarding how each respective reagent functions, fluoride forms a complex with calcium ions in the teeth ot prevent erosion of the protective enamel coating.
