Abstract: Polymer extrusion is one of the final forming stages in the production of many polymeric products in a variety of applications. It is also an intermediate processing step in injection ...

Abstract: Due to the inherent complexity of modern polymer extrusion lines caused by nonlinear, dynamic behavior with numerous influential factors, disturbances lead to higher scrap rates and ...

Polymers are organic materials that are characterized by unique properties, such as tensile strength and viscoelastic behavior under deformation. As a result, these materials are used extensively in ...

Editor?s note: The author, Donald E. De Laney, a consultant in polymer process rheology, worked with GE for 17 years and has worked with Dynisco over the past eight years. The plastics compounding and ...

The two-step extrusion method was used to manufacture pipe-grade high density polyethylene (HDPE) material from recycled HDPE. With the two-step extrusion method, dicumyl peroxide (DCP) can completely ...

Hot melt extrusion (HME) formulation development depends heavily on choosing the appropriate polymers. This article reviews HME process parameters and highlights three polymers in HME: polyethylene ...

The capillary extrusion behaviors of high-density polyethylene (PE) containing carbon fibers (CF) were investigated from a viewpoint of their rheological properties. For values of CF content ranging ...

This is a project which deals with analysis of sensor data of the polymer extrusion process and looks over how different parameters of the extruder machine interacts with each other.

CIRCOR International, Inc., a leading manufacturer and marketer of differentiated technology products and sub-systems, highlights its new BB PEP Series pumps, engineered for high-precision performance ...
