## Abstract This article reports an experimental and theoretical study of the peroxideβinduced degradation of polypropylene in a corotating twinβscrew extruder. Experiments were performed with different peroxide concentrations and different operating conditions. The evolution of the chemical reacti
Twin screw extruders are common for mixing and compounding of different polymers and additives in the production of materials with enhanced properties. However, the flow field and resulting mixing that occur inside these extruders are not well understood. For gaining a better understanding of the fl
The aim of this study was to prepare a compatibilized PP/PBT blend in a twin-screw extruder, using oxazoline-functionalized PP. First we prepared the functionalized PP (PP-g-OXA), and then we used it as a compatibilizer in the subsequent reactive blending stage. Polypropylene was successfully functi
