In this study, the compression molding process parameters for the development of silk fiber-reinforced polypropylene composites was optimized using Box–Behnken experimental Design with response surface methodology. The trimmed silk fibers from shuttleless loom silk selvedge waste were used as reinforcement in polypropylene fiber matrix. The process parameters of compression molding such as temperature (165–185℃), time (7–15 min) and pressure (35–45 bar) were optimized with respect to the mechanical properties of the silk fiber-reinforced polypropylene composite. The optimum parameters for better mechanical properties were found to be temperature, 180℃; time, 7 min, and pressure, 35 bar in compression molding. The optimised level of parameters has shown good response to the predicted model.

Abstract Experimental designs have been used by the thermal spray community to improve and optimize spray parameters to produce coatings with desired properties. The influence of four spray parameters including top and bond coat thicknesses, substrate temperature, and spray distance on the mechanical properties of plasma sprayed thermal barrier coatings has been examined. Two experimental matrices; (i) a four by nine according to a Taguchi experimental design, and (ii) a four by seventeen according to a full factorial design of the experiment, were developed. Six samples from each group were tested using a four point bend arrangement. Yield strength and elastic modulus were calculated from the four point bend test. A multi-linear regression analysis on yield strength and elastic modulus values from each experimental matrix was carried out to determine the influence of each spray parameter on these properties. The multi-linear regression analysis results for these two experimental matrixes are compared.

This study aimed to optimize the process parameters for the ultrasonic spraying of a nanooptical film coating on a large-area glass substrate, using the Taguchi experimental design. The key process parameters affecting spraying performance include the speed of the spray nozzle, flow rate of spray solution, airflow strength, spray height, and spray distance. The Taguchi quality characteristic used was the uniformity of light transmittance. With a glass substrate area of 52 cm2, the optimal process parameters for uniform spraying of silica solution were obtained via the Taguchi design method. The experiments confirmed that the optimal process parameters could effectively improve the uniformity of visible light transmittance; the S/N ratio of optical transmittance uniformity rose by approximately 2.79, transmittance reached 92.02%, and the transmittance uniformity was controllable to within 0.12%.
