The use of real-time techniques to evaluate the global mixing performance of co-rotating
twin-screw extruders is well consolidated, but much less is reported on the specific …

Polymer blending is often conducted in the molten state using a twin screw extruder
because the atom efficiency can reach nearly 100%. One of the challenges it faces is that …

Polymer orientation is a fundamental and key issue, exhibiting crucial impacts on physical
properties of polymeric parts. Current methods are limited in transparent materials and fail to …

A new modular slit die with optical windows in two different positions and three pressure
transducers flush-mounted along the wall was built and coupled to the exit of a twin-screw …

Taking immiscible polymer blends of polystyrene (PS)/poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) as
a case study, we present the capabilities of a small‐scale experimental extrusion set‐up for …

Process monitoring of reactive extrusion is often limited to pressure and temperature
measurements at the die. These may be sensitive to fluctuations in the process, but provide …

The birefringence and turbidity of a polystyrene/poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) blend,
with the concentration of the PMMA dispersed phase ranging up to 1%, were measured in …

An experimental setup using a polarized optical microscope fitted with a detection module
capable of measuring the cross-polarized transmitted light intensity and the transmitted light …

Neste trabalho, o efeito de distintos elementos de malaxagem nos níveis de mistura
dispersiva e distributiva de uma mistura diluída PS/PA6 ao longo do perfil de rosca de uma …

RESUMO A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo o desenvolvimento de um detector óptico
NIR (infravermelho próximo) in-line para monitoramento da degradação termomecânica do …
