Utilizing the Heat Transfer Roll to Dry, Cure and Temper Paid Members Public
Presented by George R. Cozzarin, Xaloy, Inc. The paper industry found the heat transfer roll, a steam drum commonly called the Yankee cylinder, to be very effective when used to drive the moisture from one-side coated paper and crepe tissue. The addition of a forced-convection hood created a conduction, convection
Multi-layer Micro-structured Films Paid Members Public
Presented by Kent Coulter, John Cernosek, and James Arps, Southwest Research Institute Material multi-functionality is a key component in the development of smaller, lighter and more powerful devices for application in a broad range of frequency dependent environments [1]. One way to achieve this multi-functionality is to incorporate structure into

Oxygen Barrier Primer Provides Adhesion Under Humid Conditions Paid Members Public
Presented by Jessica Bodine, Mica Corporation Recently an oxygen barrier primer was developed to provide adhesion of base films to polymeric substrates for extrusion coating. The original primer could be run on conventional coating equipment and provided excellent adhesion and oxygen barrier for dry food applications. However, under stringent humid
Etching & Texturing Polymer Films - Different Options for Patterned Deposition or Encouraging Nucleation Paid Members Public
Presented by Charles A. Bishop, C.A. Bishop Consulting Ltd. A number of the nanotechnologies or psuedonanotechnologies depend upon controlled nucleation and growth of coatings. Often the coatings remain as a discontinuous structure or islands. It would therefore be useful to control the nucleation process to encourage a regular deposition
