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 ...
