Free simulation of blown film.The Center for Advanced Engineering, Fibers and Film at Clemson University in Clemson, S.C., has developed a simulation model for the molecular behavior of LDPE LDPE abbr. low-density polyethylene and LLDPE LLDPE Linear Low Density Polyethylene in blown film and is making it available to processors for free in exchange for feedback on how it performs. CAEFF CAEFF Center for Advanced Engineering Fibers and Films (Clemson University) says the monolayer mon·o·lay·er n. 1. A film or layer one molecule thick formed at the interface between water and either oil or air by a substance such as a partially esterified fatty acid that contains both hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups in the same model will shorten product development and help optimize production parameters. It can also be used for training. In the example shown, the simulation indicates degree of crystallinity in a blown film bubble related to distance from the die. To download the program visit www.caeff.com and click on "Polymer Process Model" on the lower left of the screen. Then click on "Industry" and register. CAEFF plans to sell a commercial version with broader capabilities. Tel: (864) 656-6557 * www.clemson.edu [GRAPHIC OMITTED] |
