  • Publication number: 20110308753
    Abstract: A continuous filler treatment process has been developed to enhance the fixation of anionic latex on filler in a short time. In this process anionic polymer dispersions (latex) are added to common papermaking filler slurries at ambient temperature and then mixed with water of temperature higher than the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the latex used. To efficiently fix the latex the temperature of the filler/latex mixture must be 30-60° C. higher than the Tg of the latex used. The chemical composition of the resin and the type of surfactant used during the emulsion polymerisation process of the polymer latex dispersions are important factors for efficiently fixing the latex onto the filler by adding hot water and improving the properties of paper made with the treated filler. The enhanced fixation of anionic latex onto filler using hot water is done in mixing vessels that can control shear and mixing time.

    Abstract: A method of minimizing kogation of a heater element in a thermal inkjet printhead. The method comprises the steps of: (i) supplying an inkjet ink to a nozzle chamber of the printhead; and (ii) repeatedly actuating a heater element in the nozzle chamber so as to heat a portion of the ink to a temperature sufficient to form a bubble therein, thereby causing droplets of ink to be ejected from a nozzle opening associated with the nozzle chamber. The ink comprises an acrylic polymer having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of less than about 100° C., which minimizes kogation of the heater element.

  • Publication number: 20110168425
    Abstract: Commercial thermoplastic clean flame retardant materials in wire and cable insulation are mechanically unstable due to high filler loading. In the present invention, thermoplastic, black color, clean flame retardant composition using carbon nano tubes (CNT) is made. The resultant compositions possess very low smoke and toxicity. CNT with outer diameter of 40-60 nm and length of under 20 ?m are used to increase mechanical properties and flame retardancy. Thermo plastically extruded composition consists of each component by parts by weight as follows: 100 of resin (polyolefin or 100 of polyolefin/ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM)), 90-150 of non halogen containing flame retardants, 1-20 of auxiliary secondary flame retardant agents, 2-4 of CNT (outer diameter of 40-60 nm) and length under 20 ?m and 0.2-1.0 of antioxidants. A reliable method for producing thermoplastic black color clean flame retardant insulation material for wire and cable without deterioration of mechanical properties is discussed.
