Today's KNOWLEDGE Share

Avantium is proud to announce a strategic collaboration with textile innovators Royal Auping, Monosuisse AG and Antex.

Their mission is To develop PEF-based yarns for Auping mattresses!

Read our press release here: https://lnkd.in/ehuHcXAV


 Why is this important? PEF (polyethylene furanoate) is a plant-based polymer with remarkable environmental credentials. By partnering with Auping, Avantium aims to introduce PEF to everyday life, revolutionizing textile applications.

The Power of Partnership: Each partner brings unique strengths to the table:

- Avantium: Spearheading PEF development, production, supply, and recycling.

- Monosuisse: Specializing in monofilament PEF yarns.

- Antex: Supplying multifilament PEF yarns.

- Auping: Testing the design and manufacturing of mattresses utilizing the PEF-based fabric.


Auping’s Commitment to Sustainability Royal Auping, a certified B Corporation, is a sleep solutions pioneer. They’re testing PEF-based fabric for mattresses, combining sustainability with superior comfort. Their goal? A fully circular product range by 2030! ♻️


Bineke Posthumus, Director Business Development of Avantium, says: “We’re proud to collaborate with Auping, Antex, and Monosuisse. Together, we’ll transform the textile landscape and reduce environmental impact.”

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:PLA BOTTLE

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share Ever wondered how we can reduce plastic pollution in India? The Mysuru-based Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL), affiliated with the DRDO, has launched an eco-friendly remedy with the introduction of biodegradable water bottles. Crafted from sustainable Polylactic acid (PLA) material, these bottles not only combat plastic waste but also contribute to reducing the overall carbon footprint. The best thing about this bottle is its all-encompassing sustainability approach – the bottle, cap, and label are all compostable. This innovation, derived from 100% bio-based and renewable sources, sets us on a path towards environmental conservation and fosters a greener and more sustainable future.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:High and low shear rate changes in Rheology

-

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share If a relatively high Mw grade flows from thin to thick, as shown in the picture, and if the time needed to fill the thick section is way shorter than the average polymer relaxation time, the polymer will not be able to reach its higher viscosity (corresponding to higher thickness/lower shear-rate). I am assuming here the polymer reached equilibrium low viscosity in the thin section, say for instance because it is much longer. Any pressure prediction not accounting for transient rheology would then overpredict the pressure to fill.Of course the diverging flow will further complicate the situation and mess with the molecular orientation created in the thin section, but to what extent ? Since this is more of a reasonable "conjecture", don't take this for granted, and discuss or share your opinion in the comments. There are hundreds of Rheology papers on the "4:1 contraction flow". Not sure I have ever seen any on the..."1:4 expansio
