Heat Load Variations on Web Substrates as Seen by Deposition Modelling Paid Members Public
Presented by Charles A. Bishop, C.A.Bishop Consultings Ltd. Wrinkling is one of the common problems that can occur during the vacuum deposition of coatings onto web substrates. It would be useful to be able to predict what deposition conditions might cause wrinkling. Where different materials and a variety

The App Approach to the Heat-seal Process Paid Members Public
Presented by Prof. Steven Abbot, TCNF Heat sealing is always a set of trade-offs, and we often aren’t clear what the trade-offs actually mean. Using two heat-seal apps (freely available on-line) the science becomes crystal clear, allowing all in the heat-seal chain to understand the implications of any change
Is Your Dryer Optimized to get Your Desired Product? Paid Members Public
Presented by Pete Walter, National Adhesives Drying pressure sensitive adhesive is a complex phenomenon which has been studied extensively and in increasing depth in recent years.1,2 However, translating this increasing understanding to pragmatic information usable by the practitioners of commercial drying has been limited. While advances in the
Why Isn't Your Slitter running? Paid Members Public
Presented by Timothy Walker, TJWalker + Associates, Inc. Walking by any slitter and more likely than not, it won’t be running. Why isn’t your slitter running? Besides having no input material or no demand for slitting, your slitter is likely not running because the operator is busy with the

Novel Roll-to-Roll Deposition of Transparent Electrode on Plastic Paid Members Public
Presented by A.g. Talma, Akzo Nobel Chemicals Transparent electrodes are essential components in numerous consumer electronics products, such as displays, signage panels and lighting applications. Increasing demands on electrical and mechanical performance, cost, homogeneity and ruggedness have triggered the development and appearance on the market of new materials and
Advances and Applications of Inherently Conductive Polymer Technologies Based on Poly(3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene) Paid Members Public
Presented by Dr. Jill Simpson, H.C. Starch, Inc. The development and recent advances in inherently conducting polymer (ICP) chemistry based on poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDT) are discussed. PEDT-based coatings can be deposited on rigid or flexible substrates via batch or roll to roll coating processes. Properties and formulations are
