PRODUCT MANUFACTURE
• INTELECTUAL PROPERTY
• FINDING MISSING INFORMATION
• FINAL/DETAILED SPECIFICATION INTELECTUAL PROPERTY
• Patents
• Trade secrets
Produk baru perlu dipatentkan
Tidak ada cara atau metode khusus untuk mencari data yang
kurang
Secara prinsip: minimize expenses!
• Mencari data/informasi dari literature, jurnal, dan sejenisnya
• Menghitung, merancang (desk calculation)
• Data penting yang belum ada dicari dari eksperimen
3. Chemical triggers
Identify any chemistry that makes the product become active
Effect of solvent, temperature, pH, pressure, etc. 18
Example of reaction path strategies
2. Hydration of ethylene
H2C=CH2 + H2O → CH3-CH2OH (gas phase)
Basic reaction:
2 RNH2 + CO2 → RNH3+ + RNHCOO-
One mol CO2 needs 2 mols amines
Guido Sartori (1974), Exxon chemist, found that by changing the (structure of) amines, reaction
could be changed.
RNH2 + CO2 + H2O → RNH3+ + HCO3-
• Sartori: hindered amines can reduce reaction stoichiometry, from 2 mols amines to 1 mol amine
• However, R group can reduce the reactivity of amine. A lot of experiments were conducted to
choose the appropriate structure of R
• The amine must be tested its stability against temperature (thermal stability) and corrosion
inhibitor

FREON FREE FOAM INSULATOR
• Refrigerators need polyurethane foam insulator.
• It is made by injecting Freon into molded polyurethane (95% volume of
bubbles, contains Freon)
• Freon is banned (destructing ozone layer)

STEPS OF STRATEGY
PRODUCT STRUCTURE
Must contain 95% gas bubbles (light weight)
THE KEY ATTRIBUTE
Insulator thickness must at least be similar to that of Freon (thermal conductivity!)
Monoatomic dilute gas:
kT = (1/3)(λ)(energy/volume)(molecular velocity)
For small bubble: diameter ~ mean free path (λ)
kB
kT dp
2mT
kB : Boltzmann’s constant
p : pressure
m : mass of gass inside the bubble
23
To reduce thermal conductivity:
• Smaller diameter (less than 1μm, but very difficult)
• Reduce the pressure p
• Reduce mass of gas m
