Synthesis and characterization of an interpenetrating polymer network composed of poly(methacrylic acid) and poly(vinyl alcohol)

Temperature and pH‐responsive interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogels, constructed with poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), by a sequential IPN method, were studied. The characterization of IPN hydrogels was investigated by Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and swelling under various conditions. The IPN hydrogels exhibited relatively high swelling ratios, in the range 230–380 %, at 25 °C. The swelling ratios of the PMAA/PVA IPN hydrogels were pH and temperature dependent. DSC was used for the quantitative determination of the amounts of freezing and non‐freezing water. The amount of free water increased with increasing PMAA content in the IPN hydrogels.

SIMULATION STUDIES OF THE REMOVAL OF WATER FROM ETHANOL BY A CATALYTIC DISTILLATION PROCESS

A new approach based on catalytic distillation (CD) technology was proposed to remove water from ethanol. Isobutylene was introduced to react with water in the CD column. The commercial software simulation tool Aspen Plus was used to investigate the effects of key design factors such as operating pressure and temperature, reactant ratios, reflux and distillate to feed ratios, number of separation and reaction stages, and feed and reaction zone location. It was found that the CD technology offers potential advantages of reduced energy consumption and reduced capital cost over traditional approaches for the removal of water from ethanol.     

Effects of Surface Concentration on Drying Behavior of Carbohydrate Solutions

As the surface properties of the drying materials are very important not only for the drying rate but also for the quality change during drying, the effects of surface concentration on the drying behavior of liquid foods (sugar solutions) were investigated by isothermal drying experiments and by numerical calculation experiments. The isothermal drying experiments with gelled sugar solution systems (sucrose and maltodextrin) were carried out at various relative humidity (RH) values (RH = 0 to 84%). Separate experiments were carried out for determination of the desorption isotherms.

The isothermal drying curves of sugar solutions at RH = 0 to 51% were very similar. Numerical simulations also showed that the drying curves of these sugars at the surface concentration = 0 and 0.1 are almost the same, although the concentration distributions are different.

When a small amount of gelatin was added to sugar solutions, the drying rate decreased remarkably as the gelatin might form a thin film (skin) near the surface, and consequently the retention of ethanol increased.     

Evaluating part designs for automatic feeding in robotic assembly systems: A geometric analysis of the nesting of polyhedral objects

One of the problems encountered by automatic feeding devices, such as vibratory bowl feeders, in robotic assembly systems is nesting which leads to inseparability of parts and jamming. In this paper, we describe a design evaluation procedure to determine whether a part is prone to nesting and to quantify the degree of nesting. The proposed methodology reduces the 3-D protrusion-hole polyhedral containment problem of nesting to a 2-D polygon containment problem by employing a loop-based feature recognition scheme. Subsequently, the 3-D containment configuration is reconstructed from that of the 2-D by using a strategy calleddrop, pull and push. In this context, we introduce the notion of axis as a characteristic direction of a feature that facilitates the analysis of generalized 3-D polyhedral containment. The algorithms are applicable to generic B-Rep CAD data, and their time and space complexities are polynomial.

新型自洁式熔体过滤器

自洁式熔体过滤器由多只并联滤芯和1只旋转阀组成,并联的滤芯可同时工作,还可根据压力降大小依次进行自动切换和反冲洗。1只滤芯反冲洗时并不影响其余滤芯继续工作。滤芯的反冲洗无需使用外来清洁液,而是利用了来用其余几只滤芯的少量过滤液。自洁式熔体过滤器能够进行全自动连续过滤和间歇式反冲洗,用于高温、高压聚合物熔体的过滤,特别适用于废丝纺等过滤器需频繁拆卸、更换及清洗的场合。
