  • Publication number: 20070090558
    Abstract: Use of a starting solution to form a plurality of filler elements in a composite, wherein the starting solution includes a miscible solution of at least one protein and at least one further compound, with the plurality of filler elements being formed from the at least one further compound. This starting solution enables further materials imparting different properties to be incorporated into the extruded proteins. A method of forming a composite material containing a plurality of filler elements is described, in which the starting solution is induced to separate into a bulk phase and a minor phase. Such method can be carried out in an apparatus having a storage compartment for the starting material, and a phase separation compartment in which the protein and the further compound of the composite forming mixture are phase separated into a bulk material containing a plurality of filler elements.

  • Patent number: 7174946
    Abstract: A chill casting and foam casting method together with a casting mold that is closable in a pressure-tight manner for producing molded articles. To improve the chill casting method and the foam casting method so that the quality of the products produced is greatly increased and particularly homogeneous material properties are achieved, a gas is supplied to a melt which only partially fills a closed mold cavity until the inside pressure within the mold cavity exceeds the melting point pressure curve such that the melt suddenly solidifies. The solidification process takes place largely independently of location and is thus sudden, so that the instantaneous state of the melt is reflected in the resulting solidified article with virtually no change. This makes it possible to produce molded articles which have a uniform core distribution and meet high quality demands in a reliable and reproducible manner.
