The world around us is full of industrial products made of relatively thin materials, including paper, textiles, plastic films, thin-film glass, nonwoven fabric, and metal foils. Although this variety shows that these materials are essential to our daily lives, they are also critical in furthering the development of high-tech industries that will eventually form the core of the global economy. Some examples from the IT, energy, and medical fields include optical films for flat panel displays, solid polymer membranes used in fuel cells, and artificial biological membranes for medical applications. During the manufacturing process, however, we call these materials webs.
Web manufacturing technology relies on the converting technologies of coating, laminating, and printing, as well as on web handling technology (here we include unwinding, slitting, cutting, drying, and rewinding, etc.). Among these, coating and printing have established themselves as cutting-edge technologies, for which academics have shown great interest. In contrast, web handling technology has conventionally been refined through production plant experience; although the technology itself has reached a fairly advanced level, its academic understanding is poor.
At the strong behest of the industry, the author has spent the past 20 years working to theoretically understand the physical phenomena related to web handling, and predicting and preventing the problems that occur during manufacturing. Our research has been studied widely in Japan by industries that utilize web handling technology, and has been praised for the help that it has provided in eliminating defects and developing new products.
On the other hand, we have also received strong interest from around the world in publishing our results in English given the desire to understand the strength of Japan's web handling technology. Given that the theoretical research into web handling began outside of Japan, we are elated to be able to publish an English version of our work as it will allow us to repay our debt to those who came before. At the same time, nothing would make us happier than to see this work contribute to the opening of new horizons for readers around the world involved in web handling technology.
