  • ABSORBENT ARTICLES INCLUDING HIPE FOAM ENHANCED WITH CLAY NANOPLATELETS, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE
    Publication number: 20210402066
    Abstract: Open-cell foam having a structure of interconnected struts formed of polymeric material and defining open cells, resulting from polymerization of a continuous phase of a high internal phase water-in-oil emulsion, the struts comprising the polymeric material with clay nanoparticles at least partially captured therewithin, is disclosed. The clay nanoparticles may be present in combination with a surface modifier. Methods for making the open-cell foam are also disclosed. Absorbent articles including the open cell foam are also disclosed.

  • Method for designing extrusion dies
    Patent number: 8682620
    Abstract: A method of designing a die cavity that may include performing a flow analysis using characteristics of a predetermined die cavity, density and rheological properties of a material, and a flow rate of the material to calculate the pressure distribution exerted on the die cavity and cross-sectional flow profile. The method further includes a structural analysis using the calculated pressure distribution and structural characteristics of the die cavity to calculate a deformed die cavity. The flow analysis is repeated using the characteristics of the deformed die cavity to calculate a pressure distribution exerted on the die cavity and cross-sectional flow profile. The outcome is compared to determine if the pressure distributions and/or cross-sectional flow profiles converge. These steps are iteratively repeated until convergence of the pressure and/or cross-sectional flow profile is observed. The variation of the cross-sectional flow profile is analyzed to determine if it is below a predetermined tolerance.

  • METHOD FOR DESIGNING EXTRUSION DIES
    Publication number: 20120130684
    Abstract: A method of designing a die cavity can include performing a flow analysis using characteristics of a predetermined die cavity design, density and rheological properties of a material to be extruded, and a flow rate of the material to calculate the pressure distribution exerted on the die cavity and cross-sectional flow profile. The method further includes performing a structural analysis using the calculated pressure distribution and structural characteristics of the die cavity to calculate a deformed die cavity. The flow analysis is then repeated using the characteristics of the deformed die cavity to calculate a pressure distribution exerted on the die cavity and cross-sectional flow profile. The calculated pressure distributions and/or cross-sectional flow profiles are compared to determine if the pressure distributions and/or cross-sectional flow profiles converge. These steps are iteratively repeated until convergence of the pressure and/or cross-sectional flow profile is observed.
