CONFERENCEPROGRAMMondaySeptember 15, 2003MODELINGBINDERS &ADDITIVESTUTORIAL1:00 pm - 4:00 pmModerator: Roy Broughton, Ph.D.,Auburn UniversityChemical BindersMichèle Mlynar, Rohm & HaasCompanyThe tutorial will begin with anintroduction on the various types ofbinders and reasons for their use inthe nonwoven industry.Chemical BindersApplication TechnologiesRon Pangrazi, Air Products PolymersL.P.We will then review the majorbinder application methods:saturation, print, spray and foam, aswell as the decision making processbehind the use of each of thesemethods.Processing Aids for ResinBonded Nonwoven WebsJacqueline Mulgrew, Rohm & HaasCompanyThe tutorial will continue with areview of processing aids used toapply binders for trouble-freemanufacturing and conversion orfor specific end-use benefits.4Thermosetting ResinsPeter D. Wallace, Borden ChemicalWe will then learn about thechemistry, properties and uses ofurea-formaldehyde, phenolic andmelamine resins and how theyrelate to actual application,storage and handling situations.Introduction to Wetting,Spreading & AdhesionB.S. Gupta, North Carolina StateUniversityThe tutorial will finish with adiscussion on the basics of wetting,spreading and adhesion of bindersand additives along with theinterrelationships between liquidsand adhesion.1:00 pm - 4:00 pmModerator: G.P.S.

Papavassiliou, Ph.D.,University of OklahomaLearn how computational fluiddynamics (CFD) software can beapplied to improve melt blowingdies.Use of a Commercial CFDPackage to Improve MeltBlowing Dies-Part IIRobert L. Shambaugh, Ph.D.,University of OklahomaHear how you can save money andtime using CFD software to predictmelt blowing die behavior for diedesigns for which no experimentalresults exist.New Developments in theAssessment of ProtectiveFabrics UsingComputational ModelsRoger W. Hill, Creare IncorporatedLearn about the continuingadvances in CFD to predict andanalyze the performance ofprotective fabrics.It’s All About Cost CuttingPrior to Metal Cutting inthe Nonwovens IndustryAnniruda Mukhopadhyay, Ph.D.,Fluent, Inc.Presented will be an example ofcost-effective simulations of real lifemanufacturing problems and the
end-user’s perspective on theinvestment of CFD modeling vs.plant trials.Application ofElectrowetting toDistribution of Finishes onNonwoven FabricsYash Kamath, TRI PrincetonExplored will be the use of electricfields to control the distribution offinishes on nonwoven fabrics.PROPERTIES &PERFORMANCE1:00 pm - 3:00 pmModerator: Yash Kamath, TRI/PrincetonFR Cotton Nonwovens asFlame Barrier for MattressesD.V. Parikh, Ph.D., Southern RegionalResearch Center, USDAFire retardant cotton barriers are aneffective and economical way tocomply with new fire-resistantbedding legislation going into effectin January 2004. Presented will bethe evolution of the standard,development of a FR Griege cottonand test results from the CaliforniaBureau of Home Furnishings andThermal Insulation.Pore Structure ofNonwovens ContainingHydrophobic andHydrophilic ConstituentsAkshaya Jena, Ph.D. and KrishnaGupta, Ph.D., Porous Materials, Inc.In this investigation severaltechniques have been used tocharacterize the complex porestructure of nonwovens containinghydrophobic and hydrophilic pores.Ensemble Diffraction ForOn- and Off-Line Sizing ofNonwoven FibersChris Fandrey, Powerscope, Inc.Learn about a new technique thathas been developed to accuratelydetermine the fiber diameterdistribution for both offline websand the online production of fibersFormation & Structure ofNonwoven Spacer FabricsS.J. Russell, Ph.D., University of LeedsThe formation, structure andproperties of current nonwovenspacer fabrics will be reviewed andtheir technical capabilities andlimitations will be considered.HYDROENTANGLING3:00 pm - 5:00 pmModerator: Bob Averell, WellmanFibersSpunlace News onComposite StructuresAlfred Watzl, Fleissner GmbH & Co.Learn about the intensive effortsthat are underway to createmachinery capable of producingcomposite webs that are soft,absorbent and strong.Structure Process PropertyRelationships inHydroentangledNonwovensBehnam Pourdeyhimi, Ph.D., NCRCThe role of hydroentangling energyon entanglement and its influenceon critical mechanical propertieswill be discussed for two differentfiber types.A Study on CavitationInside HydroentanglingNozzlesHooman Vahedi Tafreshi, Ph.D.,NCRCDiscussed will be the results of aseries of unsteady state simulationsthat show the inception and thetime-evolution of the cavitationcloud inside hydroentanglingnozzles with different inletroundness.The Role of Nozzle Designin Characteristics of HydroentanglingWaterjets:Experimental StudyAsli Begenir, Sara LeeThe results of an experimental studycarried out on the cone-capillaryconfiguration of waterjets atdifferent pressures will be presented.5
