## Abstract Domain size of 10% dispersed polystyrene in polyethylene was followed in a 34βmm intermeshing counterβrotating twin screw extruder. Variables studied included the effects of barrel temperature, screw speed, viscosity ratio of dispersedβtoβcontinuous phase, and parallel melt versus prebl

## Abstract The distributive mixing efficiency of a twinβscrew extruder kneading zone consisting of eccentric disc elements was measured using an online video technique. Both coβ and counterβrotation were examined. Viscous Newtonian silicone oil was used as model liquid and black iron oxide pigment
In this study, the finite element method was used to investigate the effects of screw speed, entering peroxide distribution, and pressure-to-drag flow ratio on the mixing characteristics of steady non-isothermal reactive flows in a forward conveying element of a self-wiping twin screw extruder. The
The fiber degradation in the kneading disk region of a corotating twin screw extruder was studied with a closed single-stage co-rotating twin screw extruder as a model for the analysis. In a previous article, we reported that the stress in the kneading zone was proportional to the screw torque. In t
Co-rotating twin screw extruders are extensively used in polymer compounding. In co-rotating twin screw extruders, the kneading disk region is the most influential for compounding efficiency. However, only a few studies have so far been made for the flow analysis of the kneading disk region. This ma
