Optimal conditions for drying polymer-solvent coatings result from a trade-off between minimizing the residual solvent level and creating defects. This article describes an application of automated constrained optimization with a detailed mathematical drying model to find the optimal drying conditio

A new kinetic model was developed to describe the thermal degradation behavior of polymers. The model was applied to predict the degradation of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blended with propyl ester phosphazene (FR). The results showed that the thermal degradation mechanism of pure PMMA was domi
We developed a novel <50-microm thick nano-porous bi-layer latex coating for preserving Gluconobacter oxydans, a strict aerobe, as a whole cell biocatalyst. G. oxydans was entrapped in an acrylate/vinyl acetate co-polymer matrix (T (g) approximately 10 degrees C) and cast into 12.7-mm diameter patch
