Chemical Products Based on the characteristic size scale which is critical to their performance Cussler and Moggridge Cussler EL, Moggridge GD. Chemical product design. 2nd edition. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press; 2011.
Introduction • “Microstructure” mean chemical organization on the scale of micrometer • Product with microstructure supply added value because of the physical and chemical properties of the microstructure. • The Microstructures help the customer satisfy a specific need. • For the microstructured products, the most difficult step in design is needs step.
Aerosols Cream and Pastes Liquids and Liquid mixtures Structured Solid
Properties of Microstructures • The physical and chemical properties of microstructures vary widely, partially because their ingredients vary widely. • Fluids are characterized by their viscosity, and solid by their Young’s modulus and yield stress • The Physical properties of microstructured products are often very different to the properties of the ingredients from which they are made. • The physical properties of microstructured products are often complex. The complex properties are often simplified because the continuous phase dominates many of the physical properties. E.g. Sun cream. • Many microstructured products change their structured during use. E.g. Ice cream, paint.
Example : Liquid Bandages • Any bandages must meet three chief needs : • they must keep out bacteria and debris, • they must maintain a proper moisture balance, allowing the cut to dry, • they must reduce paint by covering nerve ending. • What microstructure should they have?
Solution • To keeping Cut clean : It must not have any pores larger than the size of bacterium, around 1 µm. • To allow water evaporation : it should have a resistance to water transport which is less than the resistance air surrounding the wound. • To reduce pain : The liquid bandages solution should contain an approved disinfectant, like iodine and use willow sap, which includes salicylic acid, the active part of aspirin
Get Started • The microstructured product design involve two key steps. • The need of product must be expressed as quantitative specification. • The need will be expressed as consumer desires.
Need Vs. Physical Properties • Answer three question • How to tell when two properties are related? • Choose the best descriptors • Discover relation between the best descriptors and relevant combination of physical properties.
