Using Secondary Air Cooling in Blown Film Extrusion: Concept Design and Experimental Study

, 2019
The characteristics and the quality of a blown film are strongly influenced by the stretching and simultaneous cooling of the molten polymer within the bubble formation zone. Moreover, the output rate of the process is generally limited by the cooling rates and the stability of the bubble.

On the Mechanical and Thermal Behavior of PLA, PBAT, and PHBV‐Based Ternary Blends and the Effect of Short Flax Fibers as Reinforcing Agents

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 12, Page 11409-11428, 20 June 2026.
Preparation and testing of biodegradable polymer ternary blends and composites with short flax fibres. ABSTRACT Bioplastics offer environmental benefits but they are costly and exhibit lower mechanical and thermal performance compared to fossil‐based counterparts. Poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) exhibits high ductility but relatively low
