This report presents a cost analysis of Adipic Acid production from benzene and propylene. The process examined is a typical hydrogenation process. In this process, the Adipic Acid plant is integrated upstream with a plant for phenol production from benzene and propylene, and a plant for nitric acid production. Acetone is generated as by-product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Phenol", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition (2) "Cyclohexanol and Cyclohexanone", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition Keywords: Hexanedioic Acid, Ketone/Alcohol Oil, Alkylation, Oxidation, Cumene, Cumene Hydroperoxide, CHP, KA Oil, Cyclohexanone, Cyclohexanol

This report presents a cost analysis of Adipic Acid production from benzene using a two-stage oxidation process. The process examined is similar to Invista process. The Adipic Acid plant is integrated upstream with a plant for cyclohexane production from benzene and a plant for nitric acid production. A mixture of Adipic, glutaric, and succinic acids is generated as by-product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): US Patent 20040054235, issued to DuPont in 2004 (assigned to Invista in 2004) Keywords: Hexanedioic Acid, Boric Acid, Ketone/Alcohol Oil, KA Oil, Cyclohexanone, Cyclohexanol

This report presents a cost analysis of Adipic Acid production from benzene. The process examined is similar to Asahi Kasei process. Benzene is partially hydrogenated to cyclohexene intermediate. Cyclohexene is then hydrated to produce cyclohexanol, which is further converted to Adipic Acid. Cyclohexane is generated as by-product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): US Patent 9056309, issued to Asahi Kasei in 2015 Keywords: Hexanedioic Acid, Ketone/Alcohol Oil, Alkylation, Oxidation, Cumene, Cumene Hydroperoxide, CHP

Shape-memory polymers (SMP) are a unique branch of the smart materials family which are capable of changing shape on-demand upon exposure to external stimulus. The discovery of SMP made a significant breakthrough in the developments of novel smart materials for a variety of engineering applications, superseded the traditional materials, and also influenced the current methods of product designing. This book provides the latest advanced information of on-going research domains of SMP. This will certainly enlighten the reader to the achievements and tremendous potentials of SMP. The basic fundamentals of SMP, including shape-memory mechanisms and mechanics are described. This will aid reader to become more familiar with SMP and the basic concepts, thus guiding them in undergoing independent research in the SMP field. The book also provides the reader with associated challenges and existing application problems of SMP. This could assist the reader to focus more on these issues and further exploit their knowledge to look for innovative solutions. Future outlooks of SMP research are discussed as well. This book should prove to be extremely useful for academics, R&D managers, researcher scientists, engineers, and all others related to the SMP research.

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are smart materials that, as a result of an external stimulus such as temperature, can change from a temporary deformed shape back to an original shape. SMPs are finding an increasing use in such areas as clothing where they respond dynamically to changes in heat and moisture levels, ensuring greater comfort for the wearer. Shape memory polymers and textiles provides an authoritative and comprehensive review of these important new materials and their applications. ?? After an introductory chapter on the concept and definition of shape memory materials, the book reviews methods for synthesising, characterising and modelling SMPs. It goes on to consider the properties of particular materials such as shape memory polyurethane and environmentally-sensitive polymer gels. The book concludes by assessing potential applications such as wrinkle-free fabrics and smart fabrics providing improved protection and comfort for the wearer. ?? Shape memory polymers and textiles will be a valuable guide to R&D staff in such areas as textile apparel in developing a new generation of smart textiles and other products.

Ellipsometry is an experimental technique for determining the thickness and optical properties of thin films. It is ideally suited for films ranging in thickness from sub-nanometer to several microns. Spectroscopic measurements have greatly expanded the capabilities of this technique and introduced its use into all areas where thin films are found: semiconductor devices, flat panel and mobile displays, optical coating stacks, biological and medical coatings, protective layers, and more. While several scholarly books exist on the topic, this book provides a good introduction to the basic theory of the technique and its common applications. The target audience is not the ellipsometry scholar, but process engineers and students of materials science who are experts in their own fields and wish to use ellipsometry to measure thin film properties without becoming an expert in ellipsometry itself.

In recent years there has been a surge of interest in actively moving polymers, materials which can change shape in response to specific stimuli, as they can be used in well-known technologies such as packaging materials, but also as smart textiles and promising biomedical applications such as artificial muscles. To date, there is currently no resource covering the full array of these interesting materials. Actively Moving Polymers will cover both shape-memory polymers (materials which can be deformed into a new temporary shape and recover their original shape) and shape-changing polymers (materials which change their shape as long as they are exposed to a stimulus, such as expansion or shrinking). The book explores both the fundamental mechanisms and applications of different systems including dual-shape polymers, shape-memory composites, water-triggered shape changes, thermally-induced shape-changing polymers and self-oscillating gels. Readers will gain a comprehensive overview of actively moving polymers from leading scientists in the field and through example applications inspiration for new product ideas. This book provides everything you need to know about actively moving polymers in one place.
