A Systematic Approach for Synthesis of Optimal Polymer Films for Radioactive Decontamination and Waste Reduction

摘要

In this work,an effective and systematic modelling technique is devised to generate optimal formulations for explicit polymer film engineering applications.These methods aim at developing quantitative values for not only intrinsic properties,but qualitative characteristics are developed in order to simultaneously optimize the formulation subject to the product specifications.The predictive modelling framework developed is comprised of material and energy balances,constraint parameters,constitutive equations,design/optimization variables and possible polymer synthesis techniques.A set of user defined design constraints produces a subset of different optimization formulations comprised of different polymer blends,molecular weights,hydrolyzation extents,solvents,and additives.This contribution illustrates a novel way to evaluate a wide range of polymeric film compounds and mixtures with fewer testing iterations.
