Abstract:
A process for producing pellets or granules comprising fibers of a lignocellulousic material, for use as a feedstock in plastics manufacture, conveying in a dry or wet air stream and applying to the fibers a liquid formulation comprising one or more polymers, monomers, or oligomers, forming the fibers into a solid product, and breaking down the solid product to produce said pellets or granules. Typically the conduit conveys the fibers in a plant for manufacture of fiber board.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a fabricating method for meltblown nonwoven from natural cellulose fiber blended with nano silver, which comprises following steps.Firstly, prepare nano silver colloidal sol by reduction titration for mixture of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), silver nitrate (AgNO3) and sodium borohydride (NaBH4).Secondly, prepare mixing cellulose serum by blending agitation for mixture of wood pulp, N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO) and stabilizer.Thirdly, prepare blending mucilage from mixing cellulose serum via blending process.Fourthly, produce spinning dope by blending and dehydrating the nano silver colloidal sol and mixing cellulose serum.Fifthly, produce molten filament tow by meltblown spinning method in association with coagulation, regeneration in coagulation bath, and water rinse.Finally, by post treatments of hydro-entangled needle punching, drying, winding-up processes in proper order, obtain final product of meltblown nonwoven from natural cellulose fiber blended with nano silver, which is biodegradable with features of antibacterial and antistatic capabilities.
Abstract:
An extruded composite adapted for use as a building material includes a core having a base polymer and a natural fiber in a substantially homogeneous mixture and an ionomer capstock. To improve adherence of the ionomer to a base polymer, the ionomer can be mixed with a similar or substantially similar base polymer prior to coextrusion with the core. Additionally, various additives may be mixed with the capstock material to improve visual aesthetics of the product and performance of the building material, especially over time.
Abstract:
In the process of forming a wood pulp fiber and thermoplastic polymer composition the step of decreasing the exit area of the mixing device to 40 to 60% of the cross-sectional area of the mixing device.
Abstract:
A composition comprising 65 to 90 weight percent kraft chemical wood pulp fibers and a thermoplastic polymer and a method of making the composition.
Abstract:
In the process of forming a wood pulp fiber and thermoplastic polymer composition the step of adding mineral oil to the composition during mixing.
Abstract:
A cellulosic inclusion-thermoplastic composition that includes cellulosic inclusions and a thermoplastic polyolefin that forms a matrix in which the cellulosic inclusions are dispersed. A maleated polymer and a polar thermoplastic polymer resin of a polyamide or polyester are provided to improve adhesion between the cellulosic inclusions and the thermoplastic polyolefin. The polar thermoplastic polymer resin is characterized by a melting temperature greater than that of the thermoplastic polyolefin. The composition as provided has increased break tensile strength relative to a composition devoid of the polar thermoplastic polymer resin but otherwise is unchanged. The break tensile is measured at 23° Celsius and at an elongation rate of 50 millimeters per minute.
Abstract:
A method for producing composite materials, such as thermoplastic resins with mineral and/or vegetable fillers, consisting in feeding a mineral and/or vegetable filler, preheating the filler, feeding a melted thermoplastic resin onto the filler, introducing the mixture of the filler and the thermoplastic resin in an extruder, subjecting the mixture to high compression, producing a high partial vacuum, and compressing the mixture in an extrusion head, out of which the material to be subjected to subsequent treatments flows.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an apparatus (1) for making molded resin products, comprising: measuring instruments (18a-18d) which continuously feed various molding materials containing cellulose fine powder (3), resin powder (7), and FRP powder (5) and measuring various molding materials according to a given proportion; mixing hopper (19) and pelletizer (20) which always receive various materials measured by measuring instruments (18a-18d) and continuously fed in a certain proportion to make particles by mixing, melting, and pelletizing various materials; extruder (22) which makes molded resin products by mixing and melting the particles to form a required form. By using this apparatus, waste FRP can be simply and effective recycled and molded resin products can be made in high productivity.
Abstract:
Extruded synthetic wood structural material comprises at wood fiber, plastic, and a coloring agent. In its manufacture, finely divided wood fiber having an initial moisture content of 0.5% to 20%, and a coloring agent, are placed together and fed to a heated mixer. Water vapor is driven off. The plastic resin is added to the mixture, which is then forced through an extrusion die, cooled, and cut to length. The resulting extruded material is homogeneously colored, and has zero or very low water content. The extruded synthetic wood structural material comprises from 20% to 60% by weight of wood fiber content, from 20% to 60% by weight of plastic resin content, and from 0.5% to 5.0% by weight of coloring agent.
