Abstract
A planar element for use in a papermaking machine comprising a synthetic construction incorporating nanoparticles in a polymeric resin matrix.
Description
- This application claims priority from Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/579,413 filed Jun. 14, 2004.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates generally to planar elements employed in papermaking machines as doctor blades, creping blades, coater blades, top plates in blade holders, and wear surfaces on foil blades, and is concerned in particular with synthetic composite constructions of such planar elements that incorporate nanoparticles in a polymeric resin matrix.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Doctor blades contact the surfaces of rolls in papermaking and web converting machines for the purpose of cleaning or sheet removal. Conventional doctor blades have been made from a wide variety of materials including both metals and synthetic polymer composites.
- Synthetic doctor blades are traditionally comprised of fabric substrates held together by polymeric resins, with the combination of substrate and resin providing the desired properties for efficient doctoring. Typical substrates include glass, cotton and carbon, whilst both thermoset and thermoplastic resins are used to hold the substrates together, and impart specific properties. Thermoset resins, e.g., epoxy resins, tend to be harder wearing, whilst high performance thermoplastic resins, such as Polyphenylene sulphide (PPS) tend to be able to withstand higher machine temperatures and are less susceptible to chemical attack.
- A bevel edge is machined into the polymer composite to produce an angled slant at the tip of the blade to aid roll cleaning or sheet removal. The sharper and cleaner this edge is, the more efficient the performance of the doctor blade.
- From the prior art, synthetic doctor blades made from many different synthetic materials are known. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,549,933 (Judd et al) describes a doctor blade for a paper machine consisting of a number of alternating layers of fibre and carbon fibre with the fibre layers consisting of cotton, paper, fiberglass, or equivalents thereof. U.S. Pat. No. 5,117,264 (Frankel et al) describes synthetic doctor blades made using resins such as polyester and reinforcing carbon and aramid fibres, whilst U.S. Pat. No. 4,735,144 (Jenkins) teaches doctor blades comprised of a combined polytatrafluorethylene and potyphenylene sulphide resin system.
- Coater blades work in a similar manner to doctor blades, and are used in a wiping mode to meter a layer of liquid onto a sheet of paper or other material. Coater blades do, however, tend to be thinner than conventional doctor blades, typically having thicknesses between 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm. Conventional coater blade materials include steel, stainless steel and steel with a treated edges for prolonging the useful life.
- In some applications, the coater blade meters a layer of liquid directly onto a roll surface and the coating is transferred to the sheet of material at a later point. The coater blade is held in a holder similar to a doctor blade. The metered liquid or coating thickness is dependent on the amount of pressure applied to the trailing edge of the coater blade. An increased amount of pressure will decrease the coating thickness. Similarly, a decreased amount of pressure will increase the coating thickness. Coater blades need to be inert to the chemical coatings that they are applying and must have a blemish fee edge.
- Top plates form the backbone of a doctoring system connecting the pivoting mechanism and blade keeps. Synthetic top plates are currently made from similar materials to synthetic doctor blades in that they comprise a fibre or fabric reinforced polymeric resin composite. Top plates are flat, with high rigidity in their width, but with flexibility along their length, so that they can conform to a roll surface.
- Foil blades, located under the forming fabric, are used to dewater stock/slurry in the forming section of a paper machine. They work by inducing a vacuum under the fabric which, in turn, aids the dewatering of the sheet.
- Foil blade profiles have been made from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), but this material has insufficient wear resistance to survive for the required periods of time in many of these situations. Various ceramic materials including Alumina, Zirconia, Silicon Nitride and Silicon Carbide have been added to the tip of these HDPE profiles to address this problem and produce a more even wear pattern.
- As herein employed, the term “planar element” is intended to broadly encompass not only all of the above-described doctor blades, coater blades, top plates and foil blades, but also doctor blades without fabric reinforcements, creping blades, and covers for forming boards and suction boxes.
- Broadly stated, planar elements in accordance with the present invention comprise synthetic constructions incorporating nanoparticles. Nanoparticles can be as small as 3 atoms thick, typically between 0.1 to 100 nm in size and involve interactions at a molecular or atomic level. These interactions and subsequent resulting properties can differ significantly from those at larger scales and are currently providing superior performance properties in a number of novel applications. For example, nanoparticles have been found to improve the non-stick properties of anti-marine fouling paints and anti-graffiti coatings. They have been found to improve the ultraviolet ray blocking properties of sunscreens, have enabled the production of self-cleaning windows and are being used to produce self-sanitizing tiles for use in clean environments ranging from hospitals to restaurants.
- In accordance with the present invention, a planar element construction can be achieved by dispersing nanoparticles in a polymeric resin matrix so as to produce a nano-filled polymer composite. The amount of nanoparticles can comprise between about 0.5 to 75%, preferably about 5 to 20%, and most preferably about 10 to 15% by weight of the polymeric resin matrix.
- Nanoparticles may comprise powders, grains, fibres or platelets. Metallic nanoparticles may be selected from the group consisting of metal oxides, carbides or nitrides, metallic complexes, ionic structures and covalent compounds. Non-metallic and/or covalent nanoparticles may be selected from the group consisting of clay particles, silicates, ceramic materials, glass particles, carbon black, fumed silica, calcium carbonate, carbon nanotubes and nanospheres of ceramic powders such as Titanium oxide.
- Synthetic doctor blades incorporating nanoparticles in accordance with the present invention have increased mechanical properties, including increased wear and abrasion resistance, improved flexural strength and increased hardness. The nanoparticle reinforced doctor blades perform with improved wear characteristics, with the bevel edge wearing more evenly and maintaining its sharpness and integrity for longer than a comparable blade without any nanoparticle inclusion, whilst the increased hardness results in enhanced impact resistance which can in turn prevent premature failure. The nanoparticles produce a sharper and more homogenous bevel edge than that produced in a non-nanoparticle containing synthetic doctor blade by helping to fill the minute voids that would be otherwise present in the resin matrix.
- Additionally, the nanoparticles improve the inter-laminar adhesion of the constituent layers of the synthetic doctor blade, thus improving inter-layer bonding and consequently increasing the resistance to delamination.
- A further benefit of a nano-filled composite doctor blade is reduced frictional drag. This enables a papermaker to use less energy in running his machine at a fixed speed, or alternatively enables him to operate at a faster speed without increasing his energy consumption. Nanoparticles also impart additional chemical resistance. This is important in order for doctor blades to resist chemical degradation within the hostile environments in which they operate.
- Carbon fibres made from carbon nanotubes and polyacrlonitrile (a carbon fibre precursor) may be used in the fabric substrates, for additional reinforcement, since these fibres tend to be stronger, stiffer and more dimensionally stable than standard carbon fibres.
- The inclusion of nanoparticles into a synthetic coater blade is beneficial by both improving the uniformity and homogeneous nature of the coating edge and by imparting additional chemical resistance. Improvements in edge wear resistance, flexural strength, improved adhesion and reduced frictional drag will also be beneficial to coater blade performance.
- Nanoparticles dispersed in the polymer resin systems of top plates will increase the strength of these composite structures, thus improving their support capability.
- Nanofilled polymeric resin foil blades have an improved wear resistance surface with increased flexural strength, increased fracture toughness and reduced coefficient of friction. The nanoparticles also impart a more consistent wear surface which provides more uniform dewatering, a more even moisture profile and ultimately a better quality of sheet.

FIG. 1 is a partial cross sectional view, with dimensions exaggerated for purposes of illustration, of a blade construction in accordance with one embodiment of the invention; and -
FIG. 2 is a view similar toFIG. 1 showing an alternative embodiment of the invention. - With reference initially to
FIG. 1 , a planar element in the form of a doctor blade constructed in accordance with the present invention is shown at 10 comprising a composite ofmultiple layers 12 of resin-impregnated fabrics (commonly referred to as “pre-pregs”). The pre-pregs may typically comprise woven or non-woven, unidirectional or multidirectional glass, carbon or aramid fibres, a representative example being 200 gsm plane weave E-glass style 7628 or high strength standard modulus carbon T300 supplied by PD Interglas Technologies Ltd. of Sherborne, U.K. - The
layers 12 are impregnated and surface coated with a resin containing a dispersion of clay nanoparticles. A representative resin dispersion is a bisphenol A type epoxy resin supplied by Bakelite Polymers UK Ltd. of Telford, U.K., with clay nanoparticles added to and uniformly dispersed therein in an amount of 15% by weight of the resin matrix. The resin interfaces at 16 serve to adhere thelayers 12 together during lamination under conditions of elevated temperature and pressure in accordance with well known practices. - Other manufacturing methods for the
planar element 10 known to those skilled in the art include pultrusion, resin injection, and reactive resin injection molding. - The nanoparticles help to fill tiny voids that would be otherwise present in the polymeric resin matrix and are thereby conducive to producing a sharper, more uniform bevel edge. The nanoparticles also have the effect of reinforcing the polymer composite and increasing the mechanical wear or abrasion resistance of the blade against a machine roll, thus rendering the blade particularly well suited for use in modern high speed paper machines, where the speeds attained result in both fast and severe wear of conventional doctor blades. The overall result is that the nanocomposite filled blades wear more evenly, maintaining a sharper bevel edge, than traditional non-nanoparticle containing doctor blade equivalents. Wear test trials running against a dry steel roll, rotating at 1000 m per minute/668 revs per minute, set at an angle of 25° with a load of 0.178 kg/cm (1 pli) showed that nanofilled composite doctor blades recorded 1.5% less wear per 100 hours than non-nanoparticle containing equivalent doctor blades.
- Another benefit of a nanocomposite filled doctor blade is the reduction in drag against the roll surface. The nanoparticles have the effect of reducing the frictional drag enabling machines to run at a constant speed using less power consumption or at a faster speed using the same energy consumption. Testing against a dry steel roll, rotating at 1000 m per minute (668 revs per minute), set at an angle of 25° with a load of 0.178 kg/cm (1 pli) showed over a 7% reduction in frictional drag.
- Intermolecular interactions on an atomic level between the nanoparticles and both the reinforcement substrate and the polymeric resin result in improvements in both interlayer laminate strength and chemical resistance compared to conventional synthetic doctor blades. The fact that the nanoparticles fill minute voids in the resin that would otherwise be present, helps to prevent crack propagation, aids bonding and consequently improves interlayer laminate bond strength.
- The incorporation of nanoparticles also increases both the hardness and flexural strength of composite doctor blades. Improvements of 25-30% in Flexural strength and 27-32% in the modulus of elasticity have been recorded in comparisons with non-nanoparticle containing composite blades without any significant loss in glass transition temperature. The improvement in these properties enable the nanocomposite filled doctor blade to withstand higher impacts, loads and shocks.
- As an embodiment of this invention, carbon fibres made from carbon nanotubes and polyacrlonitrile (a carbon fibre precursor) could be used in the fabric substrate, for additional reinforcement, since these fibres tend to be stronger, stiffer and more dimensionally stable than standard carbon fibres.
