301	Sculptural forms and furniture Whaley, Christopher S. January 2001 (has links) The primary objective of this creative project was the exploration into designing and creating sculptures that combine various materials in a visually pleasing way. Could these sculptures emphasize excellence in craftsmanship and sophistication of surface? Could the inherent properties of these materials be manipulated and combined in an engaging manner, which would enhance the beauty of both materials?This body of work required a variety of metalsmithing techniques including forging, mokumegane, and metal forming. This body of work also required various woodworking skills such as lathe turning and wood joint construction. There were several materials used such as exotic and domestic woods, and ferrous and non-ferrous metals. This body of work challenged my technical and conceptual abilities making me a better artist and designer, not only in metalsmithing, but also woodworking. / Department of Art Wood sculpture.

304	The leaching of lignin macromolecules from pulp fibres during washing / Favis, Basil D. January 1981 (has links) A method was developed for measuring the rate of leaching of lignin macromolecules from the fibre walls of unbleached kraft pulp fibres suspended in water. From a comparison of a theoretical analysis with experimental results, it was concluded that the leaching process was governed by a diffusion mechanism. Very low and widely polydisperse diffusion coefficients were observed for this system. The molecular weights of the leached lignins were found to increase with wash time. A comparison of the molecular dimensions with pore size indicated that a flat disk-like conformation, rather than a spherical conformation was appropriate for the lignin macromolecule. From 20(DEGREES) C to 70(DEGREES)C the change in the intrafibre diffusion coefficient with temperature varied directly as the ratio of the absolute temperature to the viscosity of water. Above 70(DEGREES)C there was a much larger dependence of the diffusion coefficient on temperature. The rate of leaching was also affected by the presence of electrolytes in the wash liquid; leaching was found to decrease with an increase in the ionic strength of the electrolyte. A conceptual model for this leaching effect is presented. The model offers a qualitative explanation for the experimental results noted above. Wood-pulp. Lignin. Leaching.
