## Abstract The aim of this work was to study the role of effective parameters in the morphology evolution of polymer blends in a twin‐screw extruder with an emphasis on the effects of the melt viscoelastic properties of the blend components, screw speed, and flow field changes along the extruder.

Compounding extruders are still designed based on experience and timeconsuming experimental examinations. This work investigates the morphology development of incompatible polyblends along a mixing zone at the end of a corotating twin-screw extruder. During the process, the samples are taken from th
## Abstract With the visualization corotating twin‐screw extruder, the melting of HDPE pellets under different screw configurations and operational conditions was investigated on‐line. It is shown that the melting progression of polymer pellets in corotating twin‐screw extruders is different from t
Laminar morphology of high-density polyethylene (HDPE)/ polyamide-6 (PA-6) blends was obtained, for the first time, in a co-rotating twin screw extruder. The morphology analysis in the interior of the adapter, which connects the extruder with a slit die, revealed that, under specific processing cond
