Mixing and Extrusion Technology for Polymer Blends
and Alloys
Introduction
The development of blending technology has proven to
be an extremely interesting and relatively low cost
method to obtain tailored polymer blends and alloys
with more flexible properties than existing polymer.
Mixing is precursive to successful polymer blend formation
and compatiblization. The single screw extenders and
other continuous mixers are mainly used for compounding.
The structural and morphological features of polymer
blends and alloys are the result of complex interaction
between the physical properties of the components and
the mixing process. The morphology developed in the
blend has a major influence on the mechanical properties.
In order to provide reliable quantitative measures for
predicting the morphology of the blends and alloys and
to optimize processing conditions following study has
been carried out: Extruder screw design for mixing improvement
Determination of mixing performance in an extruder by
using the designed experimentation technique
