The project will investigate the formulation and action of dryer sheet coatings thatis a major P&G business with sales in the region of $12 Billion Pa. Dryer sheetsboth assist the drying process and impart attractive texture and aromas to fabricsby transferring a formulated solid material from sheet to clothes within a tumbledryer.The governing relationship between formulation design and transfer efficiency isnot however well understood; better understanding would lead to less waste andmore efficient drying, saving both material and energy.Previous work between Birmingham and P&G studied drying both by measuringflows in working dryers [Drying Technology, 2021doi.org/10.1080/07373937.2021.1918706] and by studying the transfer process atmeso- and nano- scales, using AFM and micromanipulation probes, but wasconstrained to the current formulation to establish the basis of product action.The new project will capitalize on the established measurement capabilities,fundamental knowledge, and possible Mode of Actions to investigate therelationship between product formulation, product manufacturing processes, andtransfer efficiency between sheet and clothes. Different formulations will bestudied to better understand the role of each component in the mixture.The aim is to identify the relationship between manufacturing processes andproduct performance, leading for example to better understanding of how tocontrol product tackiness, adhesion, and transfer profile. The fundamentalengineering science that underpins product performance will be identified usingleading-edge interfacial equipment, including AFM, DVS, nanoidentation,micromanipulation, and hyperspectral SWIR imaging system.

该项目将调查烘干机表涂料的制定和动作，这是一项主要的宝洁业务，其销售额为120亿美元。烘干机床单库特（Dryer Sheetsboth）有助于干燥过程，并具有有吸引力的质地和香气，以使面料将固体材料从床单中转移到一块床单上，从而在不明智的层中转移到衣服上。 better understanding would lead to less waste andmore efficient drying, saving both material and energy.Previous work between Birmingham and P&G studied drying both by measuringflows in working dryers [Drying Technology, 2021doi.org/10.1080/07373937.2021.1918706] and by studying the transfer process atmeso- and nano- scales, using AFM and micromanipulation probes,但是，目前的配方构成了产品行动的基础。新项目将利用既定的测量能力，基本知识以及可能的行动方式，以调查产品配方，产品制造过程以及纸和衣服之间的转移效率之间的处理方式。不同的配方将质疑以更好地理解每个组件在混合物中的作用。目的是确定制造过程和产品性能之间的关系，例如更好地理解如何粘贴产品粘性，粘附和转移曲线。基础产品性能的基础通用科学将使用铅界面的界面设备（包括AFM，DVS，纳米识别，微观渗透和高光谱SWIR成像系统）确定。
