The Effect of Retort Conditions on Clear High Battier Laminated Structures Paid Members Public
Presented by Dante Ferrari, Celplast Metallized Products Ltd. Retorting refers to the thermal sterilization of low-acid foods, to extend shelf life by killing bacteria and other microbial species in the food. It has traditionally been used to preserve foods packaged in metal cans or glass jars. Following WWII, flexible retort
New Microwave Technology for Uniformly Heating, Drying, and Curing Coatings and Laminants Paid Members Public
Heating is the most fundamental process in industrial manufacturing. It is used for drying, promoting chemical or physical change such as bonding and curing, and many other purposes. Despite this, heating remains one of the most difficult processes to control. It is slow and imprecise when implemented in the conventional
Discharge Voltage Variations when Switching from Pure Metallic to Poisoned Sputtering Paid Members Public
Presented by R. De Gryse, Ghent University It is commonly assumed that the Ion Induced Electron Emission coefficient (ISEE or gi) of oxides has a higher value as compared to the bare metal and one expects lower discharge voltages VD at constant current when sputtering these metals in poisoned mode.

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
