The two-step extrusion method was used to manufacture pipe-grade high density polyethylene (HDPE) material from recycled HDPE. With the two-step extrusion method, dicumyl peroxide (DCP) can completely ...

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 ...

The global Polymer Processing Aid (PPA) market is on a path of consistent growth, expanding from USD 1.7 billion in 2025 to USD 2.4 billion by 2035, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7%.

The authors examine the influence of glass-transition temperature, melt viscosity, degradation temperature, and process settings. Hot-melt extrusion (HME) technology is prominent in the pharmaceutical ...

Scientists developing photonic devices for optical and electronic applications may get a boost from a new process for "cutting" 3-D arrays of holes in a polymer material. Scientists developing ...

Makers of cars, planes, buses -- anything that needs strong, lightweight and heat resistant parts -- are poised to benefit from a new manufacturing process that requires only a quick touch from a ...

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 ...

Polymer Packaging Inc. is jumping back into the extrusion business after more than a decade of absence. The Massillon-based flexible and protective packaging maker initially is spending more than $10 ...

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 ...

Zeus NeoTem is a 300°C (572°F) polymer for engineers seeking to make electrical components robust and increase performance at elevated temperatures. In the oil and gas industry, volatile environments ...
