This article inspects the non-isothermal calendering phenomena with heat transfer mechanism to report the rheological behavior of Prandtl fluid on the sensitivity of sheet thickness with velocity slip at roll’s surface. Lubrication theory is utilized to simplify the governing expressions before normalization. We obtained the zeroth plus first order perturbative solutions for the velocity profile, pressure gradient, pressure distribution, temperature, and sheet thickness. And other mechanical properties are evaluated with a numerical solution. Through graphs and tabular data, how material parameters influence the various flow and engineering parameters are reported. As it can be seen, the material parameters are the main parameters that control the pressure gradient, leading to different final sheet thickness and separating force. As the material parameters increased, sheet thickness and separating force increased.","PeriodicalId":16823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plastic Film & Sheeting","volume":"58 5 1","pages":"399 - 426"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77315652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, biodegradable porous membranes were fabricated from poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) using the cryomilling/hot pressing/porogen leaching approach. Powder mixtures of six different model compositions were compounded by cryomilling; thereafter, films were fabricated by hot-pressing. Poly (ethylene-oxide) (PEO) and salt were utilized as eco-friendly porogens in these mixtures, which were dissolved in water to introduce porosity in the films. Wood sawdust (WSD) and alum were investigated as fillers potentially capable of manipulating the hydrophilicity, mechanical and antimicrobial properties of the membranes. The morphological, hydrophilicity, mechanical, and filtration efficiency properties were explored and compared to those of commercial laboratory microfiltration (MF) membranes. SEM analysis revealed dense membrane skins for all compositions, along with lamellar porous structures. Mean pore radius ranged from 0.15 to 0.21 μm, which is within the MF pore size range. Water contact angle measurements averaged 70° and decreased with the addition of WSD and alum, indicating increased hydrophilicity. Tensile test results showed a decrease in mechanical properties, with higher porosities and with the addition of WSD. Adding alum (≥10 wt%) resulted in embrittled membranes. Filtration performance was evaluated in terms of pure water flux and turbidity reduction for textile wastewater, and it compared favorably to commercial membranes. In conclusion, this study has successfully introduced a new facile and versatile membrane fabrication approach.","PeriodicalId":16823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plastic Film & Sheeting","volume":"4 1","pages":"375 - 398"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73289294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The solids conveying section must be able to operate at a rate high enough to keep the metering section full of resin and pressurized. Optimal solids conveying depends on the forwarding and retarding forces on the solid bed, and these forces depend on the barrel and screw temperatures. Usually, a considerable level of care is given to setting the barrel and feed casing temperatures. The temperature of the screw, however, is typically not controlled. Instead, the screw temperature is unknown and often hotter than optimal. Screw cooling can improve solids conveying for many processes. This paper discusses the fundamentals and operational practices for using screw cooling.","PeriodicalId":16823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plastic Film & Sheeting","volume":"112 1","pages":"344 - 354"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73309860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
