Here's a short story I wrote for class once. It's rated PG-13 for mild sexuality and mild language, I suppose. And most readers will probably just be confused, so PG-13 for thinking, too.
Scene Eight from a Memory
Today is October 5th, and today the microwave went on strike. I'm hungry, it's the middle of the school week, and this janky piece of crap doesn't have the beeps, the vooms, or the doots. Last night, at least it heated up the left over Chinese food, but now, it's objecting to my morning oatmeal. But hey, the clock works, or, well, it's not blinking 12:00. In fact, it's showing 7:50. Ten minutes to find clothes then bike down to, ironically, my electronics class. Perfect.
I banged the microwave one more time, hoping that it would start working again. Maybe it would start up again, just to avoid any further abuse. Nope. I groaned. Someone behind me snorted.
"Your morning bitchiness is so funny," a male voice said. It was Eddie, my boyfriend. I growled in response, or at least I tried to growl. I turned to look at him and rolled my eyes, but he just smiled back, his bright teeth contrasting with his dark, unshaven face, shadowed by the morning light.
"Cold?" he asked. He wasn't referring to the unheated water in the microwave.
"Good morning to you too, hon," I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. I threw the unopened packet of Quaker cinnamon apple oatmeal at his face then folded my arms over my chest and made a face at him.
"You don't need to pretend the microwave is broken. I've already accepted that you're grotesquely obese."
"I'm only trying to be anorexic because I know you like your girls all bony and pointy," I said.
"Don't forget that I like my girls with barbecue sauce, too." He licked his lips. "Delicious."
"Okay, now you're just making me more hungry. Uncool."
"Well, you're just hungry because you're anorexic and never eat."
"I eat plenty, Mr. I-can't-finish-one-box-of-fried-rice-alone."
"But if you eat so much, why didn't you eat any oatmeal?" Then as an afterthought he added, "Fatty."
At that point I started cracking up because the conversation had gotten ridiculously stupid ridiculously fast. I was about to make another comeback, but the microwave flashed 7:51.
"Well, I need to get ready for class, and I still need to purge myself of the huge meal I just had," I said. I rushed back to his room to grab my stuff, accidentally knocking my shirt off the doorknob.
* * *
I saw Eddie slouching on the couch when I stepped out of the suite's bathroom. He was wearing an old green bathrobe, and his hair was still in its crazy, un-kept state. He was holding a mug that we both painted at Color Me Mine. I could see the bright yellow splotch that I put on the cup: my lame attempt to paint a duck. The side of the mug that I couldn't see was the part that Eddie painted. Unlike my side, his side looked good. It had abstract patterns, but somehow, my duck made less sense than his lines. He was an actual artist; drawing, painting, photography, whatever, he was good at it.
Steam rose from his mug, fogging up his glasses. I knew he was drinking tea. I was more of a coffee person, since I liked the stronger smell and bigger kick, but Eddie really liked his tea. Still drying my hair with his towel, I walked into the common area.
Eddie turned his head to look at me. He smiled. It looked forced, like a smile for a yearbook portrait.
"Adam has a hot water dispenser in his room," he said, raising his mug in a mocking way. He took another sip. "I think I'll make myself some oatmeal later."
"Yeah, maybe you should go die, too," I said sarcastically.
The corners of Eddie's smile slowly went down. It looked like he was trying to smile, but was distracted by something else. He glanced at the floor, but quickly looked back up at me.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I forgot what day it was," I said quickly.
"No, no, it's fine, Jess." Eddie's smile brightened again, but I could tell it was still fake. He glanced at the microwave. "You should probably get going, though. You're ten minutes late," he said, breaking the awkward silence.
I forced a laugh, trying to lighten the mood. "Hey, it's fifteen minutes earlier than yesterday."
He smiled and kissed me as I walked out the door.
* * *
I got back to the dorm around three 'o clock. I'd been thinking about what I said earlier, so I couldn't concentrate in any of my classes. In electronics, I was so distracted that I managed to drop a hot soldering iron into my bag, burning a hole in my math book. It probably didn't help that I had a triple shot espresso before coming into class.
As I walked in, I saw that the elevator's lights said it was on the first floor. I could've taken it up, but I didn't trust it that much. For one thing, it smelled like water had been sitting at the bottom of the shaft since last winter. Also, there was this thing some assholes occasionally did, where they stuck gum on the door sensor, so it would stay open at one of the floors. And to top it all off, it was slow. My roommate, Holly, described it as "slower than frozen molasses."
I took the stairs up, as usual, my hand trailing the off-white walls out of habit. In the dim fluorescent lights, I saw the brown plastic sign with a white three on it. My suite was on the top floor, the fifth, but Eddie's was on the third.
The door to his suite was unlocked, so I just let myself in. Bad idea.
As I was opening the door, I heard moaning, but my mind didn't register until it was too late. In the brief moment that the door was open, I saw Holly in her purple bra and panties, but that wasn't the scary part. The scary part was that she was on top of Adam, one of Eddie's suitemates, who was wearing a pirate hat. Only a pirate hat.
I quickly looked away and slammed the door shut.
A moment later, the door cracked open, and Holly stood there, holding a red couch cushion in front of her. I smiled sweetly at her, but I quickly broke down laughing. Her blonde hair was always bouncy, and the top of her head came up to my chin, even though she had a dancer's posture, so I always associated her with a puppy or a teddy bear or some miscellaneous small, cute thing. I could never take her angry face seriously, and she could never make an angry face seriously.
"No giant squid?" I asked.
"Nah. I was being seduced by one in my dream, but Liz woke me up. That's why I came down here," she said, smiling innocently. She didn't sound like she was joking. I felt my jaw drop.
"Well, that's not awkward," I said when the shock wore off. "But I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that Eddie's not in there."
"No. But Adam just had photography with him," Holly said.
"Yeah," I heard Adam say. "He said something about going to the quad." I couldn't see him, and I really didn't want to, either.
"Okay. Thanks," I said. I was about to turn away when Holly said something.
"We need to re-dye your hair when we get back, k? The green is fading."
I grabbed a strand of hair and held it in front of me. She was right: my hair was more brown than green now. "Oh, yeah, I completely forgot to do it last weekend."
"Well, I think I'm going to, um, get back to work on that project Adam and I are working on," Holly said sarcastically. I laughed, because I knew Holly majored in Dance and Adam majored in Poli. Sci, so there wouldn't have been any school projects they would work on together.
"I'll be off, too, but I just want to let you know that shirts have more uses than torso coverage."
"Locks work too." Holly smiled innocently again and closed the door. I heard the lock click as I went off to look for Eddie.
* * *
I scrambled the combination on my bike lock after parking it in the rack. It was about four o' clock, so a lot of people were in class or on their way to class. I headed for the big oak tree near the grass's edge, and I saw Eddie sitting on a bench under the tree. His backpack, covered in white out and sharpie designs, was on the ground, and his camera bag was on the bench next to him. His back was to me.
My shadow fell on top of him. I think I saw him flinch, but when he turned around, he was wearing his yearbook smile again. I hugged him from the back and kissed his cheek, feeling the coarse stubble on my lips. His faded black hoodie had the faint scent of pot, but the strong smell of his open sharpie drowned it out. I looked at his lap and saw an unfinished drawing of a person.
"How are you?"
"I hope you weren't worrying all day. I went out with you in the first place because you were the funny sarcastic type who didn't worry very much," he said. His voice sounded happier. "Speaking of dating, this feels a lot like when we first met."
"Yeah, it does, doesn't it?"
"It wasn't this bench, was it?" he asked
"I think it was that one over there," I pointed, "but it's close enough."
"But, just like junior year, I remember that the sun was behind us, because you blocked my light."
I laughed, glad that maybe he was fine now. "So, what're you drawing this time?"
"Something I saw in a dream…" He was staring into the distance. I looked at his drawing more carefully. The lines were heavy, since he'd been using the sharpie. The figure was looking down, and it looked like it was carrying something, but I didn't know what it was, because Eddie hadn't finished drawing that part.
"Is it…?" I asked, voice trailing off as I tried to phrase the question properly.
"No, this is something else I saw." His sounded distant, so I knew he was thinking about something.
I didn't really know how to say it tactfully, so I just blurted it out. "We could visit him. If you want. Or-."
"I'd really appreciate it. Thanks."
* * *
We used our student IDs to get a bus ride to the cemetery. The sun was low on the horizon, but we still had about an hour of light. We entered, and after a few minutes of walking, we stopped at a gravestone. The name "Jackson O'Conner" was engraved on it. I came here last year, too, but Eddie had asked for some privacy. I wasn't sure of what to do, so I did the same thing I did last year and leaned on the nearby tree, watching him.
Eddie had taken his backpack with him. He took it off and unzipped it. After taking a moment to search, he pulled out an old box of 64 Crayola crayons. The corners were smashed in, and there were marks all over it. He looked at me, then took my hand and led me away from the tree and closer to the grave.
Jack was Eddie's friend since they were little. But two years ago, Jack died in a weird accident, and Eddie was with him. The official report said the two boys had been in a construction zone after dark, and a 'poorly secured I-beam fell from the structure," crushing Jack.
I met Eddie about eight months after the accident. I remember four months later, around Jack's anniversary, Eddie became a complete wreck. He began smoking more often. He constantly woke up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat. The creative, deep, and funny Eddie I had first met seemed to disappear.
I hadn't known him for that long, but I asked if he wanted to talk anyway. I thought he was going to stay quiet, but instead, it was like a floodgate opened. He told me his version of the story, which the newspapers hadn't completely published. He told me that they were smoking marijuana at the time. He told me he thought he saw something or someone standing where the beam fell from. He told me he felt like he was going insane, because when he blinked and looked again, he saw nothing, and instead of feeling shocked and scared, he felt like he was dreaming.
Eddie went back to normal after about a month of therapy. I half expected him to crash again this year, but I didn't see anything, so I thought he was better.
I snapped out of my reverie when I smelled the strong waxy scent of crayons. Eddie had opened the box. "Jack gave me these when we were little," he said, "Or, well, his parents bought them, and he gave them to me." He forced a laugh.
He paused and took out a stubby green crayon. I didn't have anything to say. "Green was his favorite color," he said, almost whispering, like he was talking to himself. I held him closer, not knowing what to say.
"You know what his last words were?" Eddie asked. I shook my head. He reached into his jeans' pocket.
"I'd say about a minute before… it happened," He pulled a joint from his pocket and lit it with his Zippo. He gestured it towards me, but I waved my hand to refuse. "He said, 'Consult your pineal gland.'"
"You mean the melatonin gland?" I asked. I was fighting the urge to laugh, because the tone of Eddie's voice had switched from melancholy to comical so quickly.
"Yeah, that thing," he said. Eddie put the joint in his mouth and sucked in the smoke. "What if," as he talked, smoke came out of his mouth, "just, what if everything were all connected, like a chain of events or ideas or something?"
"Nevermind. Honestly, I can't remember, at all, what Jack's actual last words were. He said to consult the pineal gland, but I know he said more stuff afterwards. I just can't remember what, though. All I remember of his last moments was that he was smiling, and I felt euphoric, like we had just discovered the secrets of some great mystery. Or well, I think I remember that. My dreams keep confusing me."
"Well," I said, "he did say to consult your pineal gland. Some people say that it's responsible for dreams."
"Yeah. But sometimes, I think I know what he said, but then the next day, what I think he said is completely different from the day before. Last year and this year, around this month, I've had dreams of that night, except his words are always different," he put the joint to his lips again and breathed in. Smoke curled out of his nose a moment later.
"At first, I tried to write down what he said when I woke up," he said. "But when I reread what I wrote, nothing made sense. Like I wasn't even using Roman characters at times," he sighed.
He looked up at the sky, and my gaze followed his. The sun was behind the trees, and the sky was free of clouds. The colors of sunset lit up the sky. "It's gonna be dark soon. Maybe we should head back."
"Sure," I said.
* * *
We got back after dark. There was still a short walk to the dorms, but the air wasn't too cold. The wind rustled through the trees, and I guess I shivered because Eddie took his jacket off and put it over me. The pot smell was stronger now. He held his arm around my shoulders. I looked up and saw a few stars struggling to show themselves against the nearby lights.
"The more I think about it, the more it confuses me. What if everything were all connected? The last thing I remember him saying, the dreams," he said as we walked back to the dorms. "Like everything is a circle. Or a point." He shrugged. "I dunno. I'm probably making no sense."
"The pineal gland thing is a Discordian saying, and the whole point of Discordia is that 'reality is the original Rorschach.' I take that to mean that the universe just doesn't make sense, so just accept it and get a hot dog," I said.
We laughed.
"Well, if we're not making sense, I've got another random idea," Eddie said. "Maybe life's like Newton's Cradle."
"You know; those things with the hanging metal balls that shows Newton's third law or whatever?" he demonstrated with his fingers, making a clicking noise with his tongue.
Still giggling from his demonstration, I retorted, "Don't you mean conservation of momentum?"
"Er, yeah, whatever," he said, smiling. "Anyways, what if life were like that. Just repeating the same thing over and over again; and everything affects everyone like the energy transfer through the balls."
"Mhmm," I said.
He started talking again, this time about a higher state of mind or something like that. I quietly listened, since I thought it was the drugs making his mind go all over the place, and as he talked, I understood less and less what he was trying to say.
"Oh, look, elevator's at the basement and it's headed up," Eddie pointed out as we entered the building. "Should we take it?"
"Sounds good."
Eddie pressed the button for the elevator. It dinged open. Someone familiar was in the elevator already, but I couldn't remember his name. He was wearing all black, though he was carrying a basket of colorful laundry. Around his neck was a pair of headphones, the kind with the big, soft earpieces that kept outside sounds away. The musty smell in the elevator was overpowered by the smell of fresh laundry. The guy didn't look up as we entered.
As Eddie pressed five on the panel, I saw that the button for the eighth floor was already lit. Eddie insisted that he take me up to my room before heading back down. As we went up, I focused on the heavy music coming from the guy's headphones. It was loud. I could hear the singer's voice from about a foot away. What he was saying, though, I wasn't really sure, but I think I heard something completely nonsensical like, "Trapped inside this octovarium."
I was vaguely aware that Eddie was still talking about the meaning of life when the door dinged open. The other guy looked up as I stepped into the hall, but a moment later, his gaze went back to his laundry. Eddie took a step out to kiss me goodnight, leaving his other foot in the elevator to keep the door from closing. After he pulled back, I looked into his gray eyes and barely made out the outline of my reflection. I felt a sudden surge of euphoria. Things just felt right. Eddie had a huge smile on his face, a real smile, not the yearbook one. I watched him step back into the empty elevator before walking down the corridor to my room. I pulled out my key card and put it into the slot, but before I could open the door, I heard a crash from the elevator shaft.

Customer Reviews
It's got some bugs in it now. Just fix them and end it.
I got this game back in 2014, when I first got my iPad. The game is fun and the ninja, who I have named "Buddy", is very cute. I have made it to level 71, but there isn't an ending. Each update is just more junk to buy. So what's taking the developers so long to finish the story? And the update before this new one robbed the game of it's sound. The ninja still giggles or moans when I tickle him or head rub him, but the music in all the places is gone. Another bug is the surprise box. It causes a force close to the game that kicks me out. The new update is crazy! It may be October but there is no need to have him take on the role of a ghost buster. It adds nothing to the story. And now I have noticed another bug in the game. My ninja no longer moans when I give him a head rub. He acts like he enjoys it but I don't hear him moaning happily. Please fix these problems and then end the story already.
Good game
Hey they should make everything free on this game please do that for me I don't have time to buy stuff and I would like my game all my game should be free ok or I will not play this app anymore. I like the ninja but he needs more stuff to play with like for free and I do not have time to buy the stuff on this game unlock it all now for me or I will be very angry at all of you that made this app to be played sorry to be grouchy ok? But do it for me. 😥😢😩🐱⌛times the limit ok? I have other stuff to do then unlock a app that rips me off. So you either unlock all the app for everyone that plays or I delete it. GOT IT.
Love It! But Please Update!
Dude I love this game. Me and my friend play it all the time. We're kinda addicted. However, we have both reached level 50, and we would greatly appreciate an update. We want to save Kira! Every time I see a new update for it I get really excited because I think it's going to advance the story, but it's always just new costumes or whatever. Which is fine, I think it's great that you're adding things, but could you please advance the story past level 50? I need to fuel my addiction before it's lost forever!

Miranda Lambert Calls Herself an 'Almost Stalker' of Beyonce
Miranda Lambert is one of the biggest stars on the planet these days, taking home awards like she takes home puppies, but that doesn't mean she's not still a fan like the rest of us.
Miranda Lambert is one of the biggest stars on the planet these days, taking home awards like she takes home puppies, but that doesn't mean she's not still a fan like the rest of us.
It's no surprise that Miranda Lambert is a natural beauty, but it's rare to see her without makeup.
Lip syncing is the new singing, right? Totally — especially when it's done with a lot of sass by an adorable 5-year-old (and her pops).
MIRANDA LAMBERT was the top winner with three awards at last night's Academy of Country Music Awards. She won Female Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year for "Automatic", and Album of the Year for"Platinum"...
The Academy of Country Music surprised Brad Paisley and Miranda Lambert with Guinness World Records during rehearsals for the 2015 ACM Awards on Friday (April 17).
Miranda Lambert has racked up her fair share of ACM Awards in her career — the 31-year-old singer has 18 ACM trophies to her name! She's also maintained a record five-year-in-a-row streak for Female Vocalist of the Year.
A new genre of country music has sprung up in recent years, and as it has grown, so has the debate surrounding it.
The runup to the 2015 ACM Awards will feature a plethora of musical acts, including special duets in which country legends will team up with modern acts for unforgettable performances.
Miranda Lambert is a verified country superstar, but that doesn't mean she's afraid of rocking out on stage!
Miranda Lambert got herself a beautiful new baby, but it's not what you're thinking.
Some of the most influential artists in country music will be recognized with a special award during the upcoming 2014 ACM Awards in April.
A young Miranda Lambert fan brought the singer an unusual item to sign on Saturday night (March 22) in Biloxi, Miss. — her leg! Double amputee Kalyn Squires has Lambert's face painted just below the knee of one of her prosthetics, and Lambert was happy to sign it.

This invention relates to molded articles of fiber reinforced synthetic plastics material and to a process of molding such articles.
Plastics sheet materials made from thermoplastic resins are widely used in the manufacture of molded articles. Such materials are, however, not of great strength or rigidity, and where such properties are required, fiber reinforcement is introduced.
Thus, for example, in the manufacture of one such materials, layers of glass fiber mat are interposed between layers of thermoplastics material, the composite structure being needled to produce a degree of integration of the layers and then heated under pressure to produce consolidated rigid sheets for use in molding.
For the satisfactory molding of such sheets, they must be homogeneously preheated. This requires both time and accurate temperature control if overheating and degradation of the sheet surfaces is not to occur whilst the core portions of the sheets are brought up to the required molding temperature. Such materials do not lend themselves easily to deep draw molding.
Also, for a molding of given dimensions, an optimum size of consolidated sheet is required if excessive waste in the form of flash is to be avoided. As a result a molder who manufactures a wide range of moldings must carry a corresponding range of sheet sizes, be prepared to cut large sheets to an appropriate size or accept a high degree of wastage.
Furthermore, when used for deep draw molding it is found that such materials are not capable of being used to form moldings of uniform structural strength. This is because the glass fiber mat is constituted of very long glass fiber strands (i.e. fiber bundles) of perhaps 200 centimeters or more which extend in a random serpentine manner throughout the whole sheet. This substantially restricts their movement during molding in that they cannot flow with the thermoplastics material constituting the remainder of the structure. As a result, relatively thin parts of the molding such as stiffening ribs are starved of fiber reinforcement. Additionally, because of the mode of manufacture of such reinforced sheets, they have to be fully consolidated by the application of heat and pressure in order to be transportable. As a result, they can only be supplied to the molder as flat, impermeable and rigid sheets which are difficult to handle in a continuous molding process.
It is among the objects of the present invention to provide a composite fiber and plastics material and process for the molding of fiber reinforced plastics articles which overcomes or alleviates the disadvantages of known materials as described above.
U.S. continuation application Ser. No. 689,000, now abandoned, describes and claims an air permeable sheet-like structure consisting essentially of 20% to 60% by weight of single discrete reinforcing fibers having a modulus of elasticity higher than 10000 Mega Pascals, and being between about 7 and about 50 millimeters long, and 40% to 80% by weight of unconsolidated particulate plastics material, selected from the group consisting of a thermoplastic and a thermosetting plastic material, the particulate plastics material having a particle size less than about 1.5 millimeters, and in which the fibrous and plastics components are bonded into an air permeable structure with the particulate plastics material retaining its particulate form in the air permeable structure, and the subject matter disclosed in this application Ser. No. 689,000, now abandoned, is incorporated by reference herein.
According to the present invention a process for making a shaped article of fiber reinforced synthetic plastics material comprises the steps of
forming a foamed aqueous dispersion comprising from 20% to 60% by weight of single discrete fibers having a modulus of elasticity higher than 10000 mega pascals, and between 7 and 50 millimeters long, and from 40% to 80% by weight of unconsolidated particulate plastics material selected from the group consisting of a thermoplastic material and a thermosetting material, the particulate plastics material having a particle size of less than about 1.5 millimeters;
laying down and draining said dispersion on a foraminous support so as to form a web;
transferring said web to a heating oven;
heating said web first so as to remove residual moisture therefrom and then so as to bond the fibrous and plastics components together into a self-sustaining permeable sheet while substantially maintaining the particulate form of the plastics material;
transferring said self-sustaining sheet to a through air heating oven;
passing heated air through said sheet so as to cause substantially uniform and homogeneous heating of the components thereof to a temperature at which the viscosity of the thermoplastic constituting the particulate component is sufficiently low to permit the sheet to be molded into a shaped article;
transferring said heated permeable sheet to a compression mold; and,
subjecting said sheet to compression molding at a predetermined pressure so as to form a shaped fiber reinforced plastic article.
The heating oven can be in the form of a through air heating oven.
Where glass fibers are used, and are received in the form of chopped strand bundles, the bundles are broken down into single fibers before the structure is formed.
A high modulus of elasticity is to be taken as meaning a modulus of elasticity substantially higher than that of a consolidated sheet which could be formed from the structure. Fibers falling into this category include glass, carbon and ceramic fibers and fibers such as the aramid fibers sold under the trade names Kevlar and Nomex and will generally include any fiber having a modulus higher than 10,000 Mega Pascals.
Bonding may be effected by utilizing the thermal characteristics of the plastics material within the structure. Thus the structure may be heated sufficiently to cause a thermoplastic component to fuse at its surfaces to adjacent particles and fibers. Or a post formable thermosetting component may be so heated to produce a similar effect. Care must be taken however to ensure that the conditions of heating are such as to prevent degradation of the plastics material after bonding.
Alternatively, a binder may be added during manufacture of the structure to effect bonding. Any binder may be used which will effect a bond at a lower temperature than that which would result in consolidation of the plastics material within the structure. Suitable binders include polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, carboxymethyl cellulose and starch.
Individual fibers should not be shorter than about 7 millimeters, since shorter fibers do not provide adequate reinforcement in the ultimate molded article. Nor should they be longer than 50 millimeters since such fibers are difficult to handle in the preferred manufacturing process for the fibrous structure.
Preferably glass fibers are 13 microns in diameter or less. Fiber of diameters greater than 13 microns will not so efficiently reinforce the plastics matrix after molding.
Preferably, the plastics material is in a particulate form and may be a thermoplastic, a thermosetting plastic or a mixture of the two. Suitable thermoplastics include polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, acrylonitrylstyrene butadiene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polyvinyl chloride, both plasticized and unplasticized. It is anticipated that any thermoplastics powder may be used which is not chemically attacked by water and which can be sufficiently softened by heat to permit fusing and/or molding without being chemically decomposed.
Plastics powders need not be excessively fine, but particles coarser than about 1.5 millimeters, as exemplified by coarse sand or fine rice grains, are unsatisfactory in that they do not flow sufficiently during the molding process to produce a homogeneous structure.
The use of larger particles results in a significant reduction in the flexural modulus of the material when consolidated. Preferably the plastics particles are not more than 1 millimeter in size.
Because the structure is permeable, it is capable of being preheated by hot air permeation. This technique permits rapid homogeneous heating of the whole structure in a manner which is difficult to achieve with consolidated sheets.
The degree of bonding can be controlled to cohere the components whilst still retaining sufficient flexibility to permit the structure to be reeled. In the reeled condition, it can be transported readily for use to the mold in a continuous preheating and molding process. Alternatively, and to minimize material wastage, shaped elements may be cut, pressed or stamped from the structure and supplied to the mold in a form permitting articles to be molded with minimum flash to be disposed of. The residual material may be recycled through the forming process, and neither the molder nor the manufacturer of the fibrous structure will be faced with the need to dispose of waste material.
Alternatively, the degree of bonding may be such as to produce a rigid, but still air permeable sheet where this will meet the molder's requirements. This is effected by adjusting the amount of the degree of fusing of the thermoplastic, or the amount of binder added to achieve the desired effect, the adjustment depending on the kinds of thermoplastics or binders used.
After preheating, the structure may simply be molded into an impermeable article. Alternatively, it may be subjected to limited compression in the mold so as to remain permeable. Or it may be fully compressed in the mold so as to cause the molten thermoplastics material to wet the fibers. The mold is then slightly opened so as to allow the material to expand as a result of the resilience of the fibers and become permeable as described and claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,670,331 the subject matter discussed in that Patent being incorporated by reference herein. In certain cases, and especially when a smooth or glazed surface finish is required, the structure may be impregnated with a liquid thermosetting resin before or after molding as described and claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,690,860 the subject matter disclosed in that Patent being incorporated by reference herein.
The porosity of the structure permits the optional introduction of liquid thermosetting resin by surface coating or impregnation. Such resins must, of course, be of the slow curing or post formable kind so as to permit delivery to the molder and molding before curing occurs.
The structure may be rapidly heated by the heated air to the molding temperature of the thermoplastic component. The sheet will then be quickly transferred to the molding press and pressed into the desired shape before the curing of the thermosetting resin is complete.
The impregnation may be complete, in which a dense article will result or it may be limited to the surface layers of the article. This may confer sufficient increase in stiffness over the original expanded thermoplastic, together with a sealed surface which prevents a further ingress of other fluids such as water or oil into the expanded central zone. An excess of liquid thermosetting materials on the surface may also be used to produce a very smooth glossy appearance which is desirable when the molding is to be used as a substitute for sheet metal and which is very difficult to achieve with conventional fiber reinforced materials.
Thermosetting resins which may be used to impregnate the expanded thermoplastics sheet include phenolic and polyester resins, for example phenol-formaldehyde resin, urea and melamine formaldehyde resins, epoxy resins, unsaturated polyesters and polyurethanes. Post formable thermosetting materials may also be used.
In those cases where the molder is only equipped to handle consolidated sheets, the fibrous structure may be consolidated by cutting into appropriate lengths and then heating and cooling under pressure. It will be appreciated that such consolidation can only be carried out when the plastics content of the sheet is wholly of thermoplastics material.
In all cases however, after the web has been formed it is treated, usually by heating, to effect bonding without substantially consolidating the plastics particles held in the web. Slight metering may be effected to ensure that the structure produced has a constant thickness. However, pressure and temperature conditions must be less than those which would compact the web and consolidate any thermoplastic component or cure any thermosetting component which it may contain.
The invention also includes a process for making a shaped article of fiber reinforced synthetic plastics material comprising the steps of
forming a foamed aqueous dispersion comprising from 20% to 60% by weight of single discrete fibers having a modulus of elasticity higher than 10000 megapascals, and between 7 and 50 millimeters long, and from 40% to 80% by weight of unconsolidated particulate plastics material selected from the group consisting of a thermoplastic material and a thermosetting material, the particulate plastics material having a particle size of less than about 1.5 millimeters;
laying down and draining said dispersion on a foraminous support so as to form a web; transferring said web to a through air heating oven;
passing heated air through said web, first so as to remove residual moisture and then so as to cause substantially uniform and homogeneous heating of the components thereof to a temperature at which the viscosity of the thermoplastic constituting the particulate component is sufficiently low to permit the web to be molded into a shaped article;
transferring said heated web to a compression mold; and,
subjecting said web to compression molding at a predetermined pressure so as to form a shaped fiber reinforced plastic article.
A convenient process according to the invention includes heating the sheet in an oven in which the sheet is located between open supports through which hot air is passed.
The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which like reference numerals have been applied to like elements and wherein:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic cross-section through an open permeable structure of the kind made in the opening stages of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional side elevation through a through air heating oven for use in the process of the invention;
FIG. 3 is a sectional side elevation through a mold showing a molding being formed in accordance with the process of the invention;
FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic side elevation of an apparatus for carrying out a process of the invention;
FIG. 5 is a graph illustrating a feature of the invention; and,
FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 are diagrammatic side elevations of apparatus for carrying out alternative processes according to the invention.
Referring first to FIG. 1, this shows an uncompacted fibrous structure 1 comprising fibers 2 interspersed with particulate plastics material 3, the fibers and plastics particles being bonded together so as to form a coherent but permeable structure.
Typically, the fibers are glass fibers 12 millimeters long and 11 microns in diameter, the binder is polyvinyl alcohol and the plastics material is polypropylene particles.
FIG. 2 shows an oven for heating a permeable structure 1 of the kind shown in FIG. 1. The oven consists of an upper part 4 and a lower part 5, the parts 4 and 5 including plenum chambers 6 and 7 respectively. The lower wall of the part 4 and the upper wall 9 of the part 5 consist of grilles which facilitate the substantially unrestricted passage of air.
In order to heat the structure 1, hot air is introduced into the plenum chamber 7, passes through the grill 9, the structure 1 and the grill 8 and is then vented through the duct 11 from the plenum chamber 6.
After heating as described to, say, 200° C., the structure 1 is transferred to a mold, typically of the kind shown in FIG. 3.
Referring now to FIG. 3, this shows a mold having an upper part 13 and a complementary lower part 12 between which the structure 1 has been molded. Before or after the heating step has been effected the structure 1 may be impregnated with a liquid thermosetting resin which cures, at least partially, whilst the structure is in the mold.
The mold may be used to fully consolidate the structure so that resulting molding is solid and impermeable. Or the molding may be partially compacted so as to remain porous. Alternatively, a porous article can be achieved by partly or fully compacting and consolidating the article and then opening the mold slightly so as to allow the resilience of the glass fiber content to expand the molding to the desired thickness.
Suitable thermoplastics include polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, acrylonitrylstyrene butadiene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polyvinyl chloride, both plasticized and unplasticized. It is anticipated that any thermoplastics material may be used which is not chemically attacked by water and which can be sufficiently softened by heat without being chemically decomposed.
Thermosetting materials which may be used to impregnate the structure include phenolic and polyester resins, for example phenol formaldehyde resin, urea and melamine formaldehyde resins, epoxy resins, unsaturated polyesters and polyurethanes.
A sheet of lightly bonded unconsolidated permeable material comprising 33% single glass fibers 13 millimeters long and 11 microns in diameter, 67% polypropylene powder together with a proprietary antioxidant, and having a substance of 3,000 grams per square meter was placed in a through drying oven manufactured by Honeycomb Engineering Co. Hot air at 230° C. was fed to the upper face of the sheet and a partial vacuum applied to the under side. The porous nature of the sheet mat allowed hot air to pass through it so uniformly heating the material. After a short time (about 6 secs), the still porous material was fully heated to the air temperature of 230° C. This temperature, being some 50° C. higher than the melting point of polypropylene, allowed the mat to be quickly removed from the oven and molded into shape. During heating of the mat it was noted that pressure drop across the thickness of the material was substantially constant, being 76 cm water gauge to start and rising to 85 cm water gauge at completion of heating.
A further example utilized material containing 50% glass (13 millimeters long, 11 microns diameter as before), 50% polypropylene powder+antioxidant. The heating time was about 4 seconds with the pressure drop being the same as in the previous examples.
This ability to heat a porous unconsolidated web has a number of significant advantages:
(a) Saving in processing time and cost since manufacture is eliminated.
(b) A more rapid heating of material prior to the molding operation; approximately 6 seconds opposed to 3 minutes for a consolidated sheet in an infra red oven.
(c) The development of a better temperature gradient throughout the thickness of the material, since the passage of hot air heats the mat uniformly through its thickness whilst infrared heating of a consolidated sheet develops a temperature profile from the surface to the center with risk of thermal degradation of plastic at the surface before the center has attained the desired temperature.
(d) Blanks can be cut from the unconsolidated mat prior to heating and the "waste" material readily "repulped" for re-use. Whereas waste arising from blanks cut from consolidated sheet must be ground at much higher cost into a particulate form for re-use.
FIG. 4 shows an apparatus for making a fibrous structure according to the preferred method of the invention. There is shown at 20, the wet end of a Fourdrinier type papermaking machine including a headbox 21 which contains a dispersion 22. The dispersion 22 consists of glass fibers and particulate polypropylene in a foamed aqueous medium. A suitable foaming agent consists of sodium dodecylbenzene sulphonate at a concentration of 0.8% in water.
After drainage on the Fourdrinier wire 23 with the aid of suction boxes 26, a web 27 is formed of unbonded glass fibers interspersed with polypropylene particles. This is carefully transferred from the Fourdrinier wire 23 to a short endless wire mesh belt 28 tensioned around rollers 29. The belt 28 carries the web 27 under sprays 30 which apply liquid binder. Optionally, the binder may be applied by means of a curtain coater of known design. The web is then transferred to an endless travelling band 31 of stainless steel tensioned around rollers 32 and which carries the web through a drying tunnel 33. This causes residual moisture to be driven off and the binder to bond the fibers together. Towards the end of the drying tunnel, the web 27 is taken through a pair of rolls 34, whose function is to control the thickness of the resulting fibrous structure without applying pressure. The resulting sheet material is then taken in the direction of the arrow 35 and passes through air heating oven 36 of the kind shown in FIG. 3 whence it passes directly to a mold 38 of the kind shown in FIG. 3. The sheet material can be impregnated with a liquid thermosetting resin as indicated at 37 if desired.
12 kg of polypropylene powder (PXC 8609 grade made by I.C.I. Ltd.) and 4 kg of glass fiber (E.C. grade) 13 μm diameter, 12 mm long, were mixed with 1600 liters of water in a froth flotation cell (Denver Equipment Co.) as described in U.K. Patent Nos. 1 129 757 and 1 329 409. Sufficient foaming agent (sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate) was added to produce a fine bubbled foam with an air content of approximately 67% by volume. The foamed dispersion was then transferred to the headbox 11 of the apparatus shown in FIG. 3.
The suspension was deposited onto the Fourdrinier wire 13 of a paper machine, and the water drained using the suction boxes 16. The fibrous web was transferred onto the endless band 21 of polyester via the belt 18, but without the application of binder, then dried in the tunnel drier 23 at 105° C. and passed to the hot air oven and then molded.
In the arrangement shown in FIG. 6 the same reference numerals are used to indicate similar parts but in this method of producing material the web 27 is formed into a roll 39 after it emerges from the drying tunnel 33. The roll 39 is then subsequently passed through the hot air oven 36 and into the mold 38. This process is convenient if there is a space problem in the production line and allows, what is in effect, a continuous process to be broken into two stages. The material emerging from the drying tunnel 33 has sufficient strength to allow it to be reeled.
A continuous web of 50% chopped strand glass fiber 11 μm diameter and 13 millimeters long and 50% powdered polypropylene by weight were used to prepare a foamed dispersion generally as described in Example 1. This dispersion was then used to form a web on the wet end of a 1.1 meter wide paper-making machine. The 450 g/m moist web was produced at a speed of 8 m/min and impregnated by coating on the wire 18 with a 1% polyvinyl alcohol solution to act as a binder. The web was then passed directly into a tunnel dryer 23. The first section of the dryer was set at 105° C. in order to gently dry the web, although the subsequent three sections were set to 150°-160° C., i.e., below the melting point of the polypropylene. The emerging material, consisting of polypropylene particles retained in a web of separate glass fibers bonded together had sufficient strength to be reeled up and could be transported without disintegration or serious loss of polypropylene powder.
The reels of material were subsequently fed into a hot air oven and molded.
The process of Example 1 was carried out until the web was deposited on the endless band 31. A binder consisting of acrylic latex diluted to 0.75% solids was then applied by means of a conventional curtain coated (not shown) onto the moving web. Excess latex solution was drawn through the web and recirculated. The web had a substance of 500 grams per square meter and 33 liters per meter of latex was applied as the web moved at 9 meters per minute on the endless band, 2 liters being retained in each 9 meter length of the web. The material was then heated in a hot air oven and satisfactorily molded.
Table 1 lists Examples 4 to 10 in which sheets were prepared generally in accordance with the process described in Example 1 using the various fibers specified in a matrix formed of polypropylene particles of less than 1 millimeter in size, the Table showing their properties prior to heating in the hot air oven for molding.
Table 2 lists Examples 11 to 21 in which sheets were prepared generally in accordance with the process described in Example 1 using a variety of fibers in matrixes formed from three differing thermoplastic polymers, again prior to heating in the hot air oven.
The various Examples demonstrate the versatility of the invention and its applicability for use with a wide range of reinforcing fibers and thermoplastics.
FIG. 5 is a graph demonstrating the effect of thermoplastic particle size on the flexural modulus of consolidated sheets, the horizontal axis not being to a consistent scale for clarity of illustration. The graph shows that the flexural modulus begins to fall when the particle size is larger than 1 millimeter. Beyond 1.5 millimeters in size the flexural modulus deteriorates significantly.

A polypropylene slurry was prepared by dispersing particulate polypropylene having a particle size of less than 1 millimeter in water at 25% solids content in a high shear mixer with a dispersing agent sold under the trade name "Catafix".
The resulting slurry was then further diluted to 7% solids and supplied to the inlet of a fan pump feeding stack to a rotiformer (Registered Trade Mark). Single glass fibers 11 micron diameter, 13 millimeters long were simultaneously fed to the fan pump inlet at a ratio of 40% by weight of the polypropylene.
The sheet formed on the rotiformer was then spray treated with an acrylic latex binder diluted to 0.75% solids and reeled up. When subsequently consolidated, the sheet was seen to have a poorer formation than the sheets of Examples 1 and 2, although still acceptable. When consolidated the sheet had a substance of 562 grams per square meter on average (as between machine and cross directions) flexural modulus of 6603 Mega Pascals and tensile strength of 53 Mega Pascals.
FIG. 7 shows apparatus for carrying out the invention in a somewhat similar way to that shown in FIG. 6 but in this process the drying tunnel 33 is replaced by a hot air oven 40. The general construction of this hot air oven is similar to that shown in FIG. 2 and it is used, in this instance, to provide a drying effect on the web, the hot air passing effectively through the porous material.
FIG. 8 shows a process somewhat similar to that shown in FIG. 4 but in this construction the endless travelling band 31 and drying tunnel 33 are deleted and the belt 28 delivers the wet material directly into the hot air oven 36 which, not only dries the web but also heats it sufficiently to allow it to be passed directly to the mold 38.
