Polymers are organic materials that are characterized by unique properties, such as tensile strength and viscoelastic behavior under deformation. As a result, these materials are used extensively in ...

With its diverse portfolio of polymer testing and sensing equipment, Dynisco is bringing rheology to the masses. Rheology is the investigation of the ­flow and deformation behavior of materials when ...

Extrusion is a process used for the creation of fixed cross-sectional profiles. Materials, such as plastic or thermoplastic, are pressed through a die of desired shape and cross-section. Plastic ...

Hot melt extrusion (HME) formulation development depends heavily on choosing the appropriate polymers. This article reviews HME process parameters and highlights three polymers in HME: polyethylene ...

On the right, a vacuum-assisted extrusion is leveraged in large-scale additive manufacturing to reduce porosity in printed parts. The inset image, on the left, is a close-up of the vacuum-assisted ...

Plastic is abundant in business and everyday life. You find it as product components, packaging and even in the containers used to ship products. For businesses interested in manufacturing or ...

A presentation at the Leistritz Pharmaceutical-Nutraceutical Extrusion Seminar explained how simulation tools benefit the development process. Twin-screw extruders (TSE) are used in multiple ...

FET designs, develops and manufactures extrusion equipment for a range of high value textile material applications worldwide, offering melt spinning, wet spinning and spunbond/meltblown options. Since ...
