An experimental investigation was conducted to evaluate the performance of three single-screw mixing elements: a Maddock; a Pineapple; and a Twente mixer. The study was designed to focus on the mixers' performance in the mixing of immiscible polymers in the molten state. Two independently controlled
## Abstract The aim of this work was to study the role of effective parameters in the morphology evolution of polymer blends in a twinβscrew 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.
## Abstract Single screw extruders are known as good melt pumps with the high, stable pressure needed for part extrusion. However they have a particular disadvantage in achieving good mixing. In a vibrationβinduced polymer extruder (VIPE), a vibration force field (VFF) is introduced into the whole
