Biaxially Oriented Films
Ten years of experience in design and production of biaxially oriented polyolefin flexible films. Ten years experience as R&D leader in development of biaxially oriented polyolefin films including irradiation and crosslinking of LLDPE formulations. More than ten years in polymer…
Plastics: Extrusion & Flexible Packaging
Expert has applied his background in chemical engineering to film extrusion with raw material suppliers, equipment suppliers and film fabricators. His background is useful for benchmarking, product development, troubleshooting and training in most polymer film processes. He has purchased, installed…
Polymer Rheology and Plastics Processing
Expert is currently working on constitutive modeling of the extensional behavior of molten plastics. He has developed models that allow the behavior in extension to be inferred from measurements in exponential shear. The material behavior in exponential shear is measured…
Polymer Selection for Food, Automotive, and Electronic Markets
Expert has an in-depth understanding of the high-pressure synthesis copolymerization of ethylene with combinations of co-monomers such as acrylates, vinyl acetate, (meth)acrylic acid, and carbon monoxide. His knowledge results from the high-pressure pilot plant work performed under his direction to…
Polymer Foam Process & Materials
Expert is an Adjunct Professor in the Packaging Science Department at the Rochester Institute of Technology where he teaches plastics processing and research methods. He has extensive experience with the extrusion and thermoforming of cellular plastics, especially polystyrene foam. He…
