Low density polyethylene and grafted lignin polyblends using epoxy‐functionalized compatibilizer: mechanical and thermal properties

Lignin was graft copolymerized with methyl methacrylate using manganic pyrophosphate as initiator. This modified lignin was then blended (up to 50 wt%) with low density polyethylene (LDPE) using a small quantity of poly[ethylene‐co‐(glycidyl methacrylate)] (PEGMA) compatibilizer. The mechanical properties of the blend were substantially improved by using modified lignin in contrast to untreated lignin. Differential scanning calorimetry studies showed loss of crystallinity of the LDPE phase owing to the interaction between the blend components. Thermogravimetric analysis showed higher thermal stability of modified lignin in the domain of blend processing. This suggested that there is scope for useful utilization of lignin, which could also lead to the development of eco‐friendly products. Copyright © 2005 Society of Chemical Industry     

Semiparametric Estimation in Time‐Series Regression with Long‐Range Dependence

Abstract. We consider semiparametric estimation in time‐series regression in the presence of long‐range dependence in both the errors and the stochastic regressors. A central limit theorem is established for a class of semiparametric frequency domain‐weighted least squares estimates, which includes both narrow‐band ordinary least squares and narrow‐band generalized least squares as special cases. The estimates are semiparametric in the sense that focus is on the neighbourhood of the origin, and only periodogram ordinates in a degenerating band around the origin are used. This setting differs from earlier studies on time‐series regression with long‐range dependence, where a fully parametric approach has been employed. The generalized least squares estimate is infeasible when the degree of long‐range dependence is unknown and must be estimated in an initial step. In that case, we show that a feasible estimate which has the same asymptotic properties as the infeasible estimate, exists. By Monte Carlo simulation, we evaluate the finite‐sample performance of the generalized least squares estimate and the feasible estimate.     

Finite‐Element Implementation of a Self‐consistent Texture Model with a Hardening Law Based on Dislocation Densities

A self‐consistent texture model is implemented in the finite‐element code ABAQUS/Explicit®. Hardening of the slip systems is described by evolution laws for dislocation densities, and the Bauschinger effect is included. With these ingredients the cold rolling of an IF‐steel is simulated and the evolution of texture and anisotropy is examined. The use of the dislocation based hardening law is found to have a significant effect on the evolution of the anisotropic yield surface, but only very little influence on the texture. Furthermore, the hardening model is used to investigate the evolution of dislocation densities in differently oriented grains during plane strain compression. It is found that the dislocation density varies greatly depending on orientation, an observation which can help to explain the orientation dependence of recrystallization.     

Preparation of ultra‐low‐density microcellular materials

Microcellular polymeric materials can be obtained by the polymerization of a high‐internal‐phase emulsion. These materials are good candidates as targets toward inertial confinement fusion. This application requires severe specifications, including a very low density and a small cell size. In this study, we examined the influence of parameters such as emulsification conditions, surfactant nature, and the presence of a porogen on the obtainment of those requirements. It was possible to obtain microcellular polymeric foams with apparent densities as low as 0.0126 g/cm³. However, it was difficult to obtain very low material density and still maintain a small average pore size. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 96: 2053–2063, 2005

The influence of raw material characteristics on the industrial pelletizing process and pellet quality

Industrial pelletizing of sawdust was carried out as a designed experiment in the factors: sawdust moisture content, fractions of fresh pine, stored pine and spruce. The process parameters and response variables were energy consumption, pellet flow rate, pellet bulk density, durability and moisture content. The final data consisted of twelve industrial scale runs. Because of the many response variables, data evaluation was by principal component analysis of a 12 × 9 data matrix. The two principal component model showed a clustering of samples, with a good reproducibility of the center points. It also showed a positive correlation of energy consumption, bulk density and durability all negatively correlated to flow rate and moisture content. The stored pine was more related to high durability and bulk density. The role of the spruce fraction was unclear. The design matrix, augmented with the process parameters was a 12 × 6 matrix. Partial least squares regression showed excellent results for pellet moisture content and bulk density. The model for durability was promising. A 12 × 21 data matrix of fatty- and resin acid concentrations measured by GC–MS showed the differences between fresh and stored pine very clearly. The influence of the spruce fraction was less clear. However, the influence of the fatty- and resin acids on the pelletizing process could not be confirmed, indicating that other differences between fresh and stored pine sawdust have to be investigated. This work shows that it is possible to design the pelletizing process for moderate energy consumption and high pellet quality.     

新型水泥浆实心减轻材料FXW在固井中的应用研究

低密度水泥浆常用泡沫和漂珠作为减轻材料，但泡沫和漂珠的一个共同缺陷是承压能力有限。在现场使用时，地面密度和井下密度是不一致的，这将打破注水泥压力平衡，给固井施工带来一定的风险。为此，通过大量实验，根据颗粒紧密堆积原则，以粉煤灰、改性橡胶粉、微硅、石灰类矿物等为原料，复配出一种新型实心耐压减轻材料 FXW 。由于FXW为实心减轻材料，能够承受压力，因而能够适应井下高压条件。实验表明，FXW低密度水泥浆强度高，韧性好，可更好地满足油气井后期开发需求。
