This handbook provides an exhaustive description of polyethylene. The 50+ chapters are
written by some of the most experienced and prominent authors in the field, providing a truly …

Blending of polymers is becoming increasingly important in packaging applications to
enhance properties, improve processing, or lower cost. Achieving a consistent quality blend …

We present numerical simulations for an acrylonitrile‐butadiene‐styrene copolymer (ABS)
resin extrusion in an industrial conventional single‐screw extruder. Based upon the flow …

An empirical method was developed to study the dynamic mixing characteristics of a single-
screw extrusion process. The method basically involved a modified version of the visible …

We propose an entropic measure to assess color homogeneity as well as deviations from a
standard/ideal color. We illustrate the concept by analyzing samples obtained in a single …

Abstract Models to predict the evolution of the morphology of immiscible liquid-liquid
systems and of solid agglomerates dispersion in single-screw extruders were adapted to …

In this article, the performance of three different mixing elements on color dispersion in high‐
density polyethylene and linear low‐density polyethylene polymer stream during extrusion is …

Mixing processes are very important for plasticating, single-screw extrusion operations.
Numerous mixing processes can occur including pre-blending prior to feeding to the hopper …

The term polymer compounding, as it applies to plastics and rubbers, normally describes
operations undertaken once the polymer leaves the polymerisation reactor and up to the …

The visualization and image analysis techniques developed by the authors for the study of
quantifying the dynamic quality of mixing of a single‐screw extruder were employed to …
