Simulation aided analysis and experimental study of polyurethane polymerization reaction and foaming process /
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)A MatLab simulation model was developed to simulate polymerization reactions, gel point times and foam formation. The simulation is based on the simultaneous solution of typically 25-80 ordinary differential equations that ... -
Simulation aided analysis of polyurethane reaction systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Numerous reactions take place within a polyurethane polymerization process. Homogeneous and catalytic reactions occur at the same time and intermediate ... -
A study of polyurethane polymerization via modeling and experiment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014) -
Synthesis and testing of soy-based polyols : phosphate and glycerolysis oligomers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Soy-based polyols are important industrial prepolymeric materials that use renewable resource. They react with isocyanates to produce polyurethanes (PU) and can be produced at costs less than polyols derived from petrochemicals. ... -
Synthesis, characterization and applications of fats and oil derived phase change materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Phase Change Materials (PCM) are materials that absorb or release relatively large amounts of latent heat and are termed as "latent" thermal storage ... -
Thermosetting curing systems modeling project
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The thesis focuses on modeling work of thermosetting curing systems, specifically for polyurethane system and epoxy/amine system. Chapter 2 is the study ... -
Use of enzymes to produce soy-based polyol for polyurethane
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)Soy-based polyol used in polyurethane applications are sustainable and renewable materials which have been reported to require less energy to produce and to have lower market price. They also have less environmental impact, ... -
Validation and insight into a novel packed-bed electrode flow battery architecture
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)In order to improve upon current flow battery technology and to obtain higher specific energies, a novel packed-bed electrode flow battery (PBEFB) is proposed. The validation of the use of packed-bed electrodes in a flow ...
