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. ...
Chemical modifications to produce soy-based polyols
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
This project comprises several chemical routes to produce soy-based polyols for future use in polyurethane foam applications. Soybean oil was polymerized by heat and catalyst to increase molecular weight, and viscosity for ...
Developing, implementing, and assessing coupled-tank experiments in an undergraduate chemical engineering curriculum
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Five experimental modules that fit into the Undergraduate Chemical Engineering Curriculum were developed using the existing Coupled-Tank Apparatus. Students of different educational levels get an opportunity to develop ...
Failure analysis of green ceramic bodies during thermal debinding
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
In industry, thermal debinding is the traditional mode of binder removal from multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCs). Binder removal from ceramics takes as long as 50-150 h, thereby contributing significantly to the manufacturing ...
