✦ Synopsis
The effect of density compressibility of granular polymeric solids on the pressure development inside the feed zone of a single screw extruder was calculated. Results indicate that, for a given flow rate, density compressibility enhances pressure rise inside the extruder, remedying the under estimation of previous theory. A substantial rise in pressure buildup may result for compressibility above a certain level. This may explain observed surging during the processing of low bulk density materials.

Simulation of monomeric material transport in reactive extrusion revealed that two different situations can be distinguished in the partially filled zone of a twin-screw extruder. Material is transported from the bottom of the barrel to the top of the screw by drag or material remains on the bottom
## 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 vibration‐induced polymer extruder (VIPE), a vibration force field (VFF) is introduced into the whole
## 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.
