Rapid rotational foam molding of integral skin polypropylene cellular compositesAbdalla, Emad 01 May 2009 (has links)
Rapid Rotational Foam Molding (RRFM) is a novel patent-pending process that was
designed and developed to maximize the synergistic effects resulting from the deliberate
combination of extrusion and rotational foam molding and thereby serve as a time-andenergy
efficient technology for the manufacture of integral-skin rotationally molded
foams of high quality. This thesis presents a thorough study of the scientific and
engineering aspects related to the evolution of the RRFM process and its feasibility. This
innovative processing technology was assessed and verified through a battery of planned
experimental trials conducted utilizing an in-house custom-built industrial-grade lab-scale
experimental setup. The experimental trials involved a variety of polypropylene (PP)-
based foamable formulations with a chemical blowing agent (CBA) that were
compounded and processed by utilizing an extruder and then foamed and injected as a
foamed core, instantly, into the cavity of a suitable non-chilled rotationally molded
hollow shell made of non-foamed pulverized PP grades. The investigated mold shapes
included a cylindrical shaped mold and a rectangular flat shaped mold. The obtained
moldings were examined for the quality of the skin surface, the skin-foam interface, and
the achieved foam morphologies that were characterized in terms of foam density,
average cell size, and average cell density. Optimal processing parameters were
successfully determined for three different PP skin-foam formulation combinations. The
accomplished reduction in processing time and energy consumption by implementing
RRFM were substantial. A variety of processing impediments that hindered the efficiency
of the single-charge conventional rotational foam molding practice were resolved by
implementing RRFM; these include: the foam/skin invasion into the skin/foam layer of
the manufactured article and the premature decomposition of CBA during compounding
or subsequent rotational foam molding processing steps. / UOIT

Développement, étude physico-chimique et optimisation de mousses polymères biosourcées / Development, physico-chemical study and optimization of bio-based polymer foamsMazzon, Elena 08 July 2016 (has links)
Ce travail de thèse porte sur le développement d’une nouvelle génération de mousses polymères biosourcées capables de satisfaire la fonction d’âme alvéolaire et structurale de pièces automobiles. Les formulations époxy choisies comme base polymère reposent sur deux différents prépolymères époxy, l’huile de lin époxydée (ELO) et le glycérol époxydé (GE). Ces derniers, associés en proportions variables, sont réticulés avec deux différents durcisseurs : l’isophorone diamine (IPDA) ou l’anhydride méthyl tétrahydrophtalique (MTHPA). Les formulations ternaires « ELO – GE – durcisseur » ont été caractérisées selon une approche multi-techniques (DSC, TGA, rhéométrie dynamique et en mode permanent) permettant d’établir des relations structure-propriétés fiables. Puis, la production d’une mousse a été possible grâce à la maîtrise d’une réaction chimique qui se déroule parallèlement à la réticulation de la résine époxy. Le bicarbonate de sodium et de potassium ont été retenus comme agents moussants. Afin d’améliorer les performances finales des mousses, la proportion de GE au sein des formulations polymère à base IPDA a été augmentée. Mais, une telle modification induit la dégradation thermique du système à cause de l’exothermicité élevée de la réaction de réticulation. L’introduction d’un absorbeur d’exothermicité, permet grâce à sa décomposition endothermique de contrôler l’excès de chaleur dégagée et par la même d’empêcher la dégradation. Une dernière classe de durcisseurs a également été étudiée et donne après optimisation des mousses dotés d’excellentes propriétés ultimes. Ainsi, une large gamme de mousses biosourcées rigides et légères pouvant être mises en œuvre dans un temps très court a été développée. / This thesis focuses on the development of a new generation of bio-based polymer foams able to produce low density core in sandwich structure for automotive applications. The polymer formulations used in this research contain two different epoxy compounds, epoxidized linseed oil (ELO) and the epoxidized glycerol (GE). Combined in varying proportions, they were cured with two different hardeners, isophorone diamine (IPDA) or methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (MTHPA). Ternary formulations “ELO – GE – hardener” were characterized by a multi-techniques approach (DSC, TGA, rheometry in steady or dynamic mode) in order to establish structure-property relationships. The production of polymeric-foam materials was carried out by tuning a chemical reaction which takes place during curing. Sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate were used as harmless foaming agents. In order to improve the final performances of the foams, the ratio GE/ELO was increased in the reactive formulations based on IPDA hardener. But, such modification provokes also the thermal degradation of the system because of the high exothermicity of the curing reaction. The introduction of “exothermicity regulators” that undergo endothermic transformations allowed to control the excess of released heat and consequently, to prevent the material degradation. A last class of hardener was also studied and made it possible after optimization the production of foams with good ultimate properties. To conclude, a large range of biobased and lightweight rigid foams able to be produced in a few minutes was developed.

Funkční polymerní pěny / Functional polymer foamsHána, Tomáš January 2018 (has links)
Functional polymer foams are considered as a promising field which could potentially produce foams with added value. Specifically, functionally graded foams are materials which are expected to provide better mechanical properties while preserving low density in comparison with regular foams. In this thesis, a preparation process of such foams is designed, examination of prepared structure and comparison of mechanical properties with regular foams is performed. The obtained results are discussed and further research in this field is proposed.
