METHOD TO HEURISTICALLY CONTROL FORMATION AND PROPERTIES OF A COMPOSITION

摘要

One or more fly ash materials having a particle size distribution that may include cinders of selected sizes that is heuristically determined to be suitable to form a blend that is mixed with a resin to form a master batch pellet, powder or liquid; Or a fully compounded pellet, powder to liquid. The master batch pellet, powder or liquid; Or a fully compounded pellet, powder or liquid is later mixed with more resin which is manufactured by a process to produce a finished product. The process has parameters that may be measured and the finished product has physical properties that can be determined by testing which parameters and properties can be controlled by the heuristic selection of the one or more fly ash materials and optionally the heuristic selection of one or more other materials to be included in the formation of the blend.

1. A method of heuristically controlling the formation of and the properties of a composition, said method comprising:
a. identifying a finished product formed from a composition; b. determining the manufacturing process for the said finished product, said manufacturing process having at least one measurable parameter; c. determining at least one physical property of said finished product; d. identifying the resin to be used to manufacture said finished product; e. identifying at least one desired improvement to one of said one measurable parameter of said manufacturing process and said physical property of said finished product; f. heuristically selecting a first quantity of first fly ash material for combining with said resin to produce said at least one desired improvement; g. forming a first master batch using a portion of said resin and using said first fly ash material; h. mixing said first master batch with another portion of said resin to form a first composition; i. manufacturing a first finished product using said manufacturing process having said at least one measurable parameter and using said first composition; j. selectively measuring said at least one measurable parameter and testing said first finished product to determine said at least one physical property; k. comparing said at least one measurable parameter or said at least one physical property with said at least one desired improvement and determining a first difference therebetween; l. determining if the difference is acceptable or not acceptable; m. for a not-acceptable difference, heuristically selecting a second fly ash material; n. forming a second master batch with a portion of said resin and using said second fly ash material; o. mixing said second master batch with another portion of said resin to form a second composition; p. manufacturing a second finished product using said manufacturing process having said at least one measurable parameter and using said second composition; q. selectively measuring said at least one measurable parameter when making said second finished product and testing said second finished product to determine said at least one physical property; r. selectively comparing said at least one measurable parameter when making said second finished product and said at least one physical property of said second finished product with said at least one desired improvement and determining a second difference therebetween; s. evaluating said second difference to determine if the second difference is acceptable or not acceptable; and t. repeating steps m through s to form additional compositions and additional finished products and testing each additional composition to determine a new difference until the difference is acceptable.
