Spent Artemisia arborescens as a Biowaste Filler for Melt‐Processed PBSA Biocomposites With Enhanced Disintegration and Aerobic Biodegradation

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Spent Artemisia arborescens biomass, recovered after essential‐oil steam distillation, was ground and melt‐compounded with PBSA (10 and 20 wt%), yielding biocomposites with accelerated biodegradation. ABSTRACT Artemisia arborescens is a Mediterranean shrub widely used for essential oil production, generating significant amounts of spent biomass after ...

Non-Newtonian effects in silicate liquids and crystal bearing melts [PDF]

, 2009
High-silica volcanic systems are considered to be the most devastating. Their highly viscous properties create a high pressurised non- fluent system which consequently relaxes the stress mostly by exploding through the brittle regime.

Decoupling Formulation and Processing Effects in Thermoplastic Starch Through a Data‐Driven Structure–Property Framework

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Processing‐property relationships in thermoplastic starch (TPS): plasticizer type, starch source and melt‐processing temperature establish a hierarchy of effects that governs process‐induced changes and the resulting TPS properties. ABSTRACT Thermoplastic starch (TPS) is a melt‐processable biopolymer whose properties depend strongly on formulation and ...

Was the Early Calculus an Inconsistent Theory? [PDF]

, 2007
The ubiquitous assertion that the early calculus of Newton and Leibniz was an inconsistent theory is examined. Two different objects of a possible inconsistency claim are distinguished: (i) the calculus as an algorithm; (ii) proposed explanations of the ...

Single Versus Double Screw Extrusion: Impact on Mechanical Performance and Crack Resistance for a Virgin, Recycled, and Blended Polypropylene

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the study approach and key findings. ABSTRACT To evaluate the influence of extrusion on material performance, three processing methods, single extrusion (1x Ex), double extrusion (2x Ex), and double screw compounding (C), were investigated for virgin polypropylene (vPP), recycled PP (rPP), and a blend containing 10% rPP (rPP10 ...

Friction‐Corrected In‐Situ Viscosity Measurement in Material Extrusion: A Force‐Based Method Validated Against Capillary Rheometry Using Identical Nozzle Geometry

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
In the filament force measurement (FFM), the friction of the solid filament, determined in an open‐bore reference, is subtracted from the measured extrusion force to obtain the capillary force. The resulting apparent viscosity is compared with high‐pressure capillary rheometry (HPCR) using the identical printer nozzle in both instruments.

Experimental Validation of Prediction Models of Pressure‐Throughput Behavior for Melt‐Conveying Elements in Fully Intermeshing Co‐Rotating Twin‐Screw Extruders

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Comparison between hybrid model prediction and experimental measurements of pressure‐throughput behavior of co‐rotating twin‐screw conveying elements shows the hybrid model performing well. ABSTRACT Modeling and simulation of the melt conveying of co‐rotating twin screw extruders, one of the important manufacturing machines in polymer processing, is ...

Application of Non‐Isothermal Network Theory With Curved‐Channel Element Characteristics to Predict Melt Conveying in High‐Performance Single‐Screw Extruders

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a fast and accurate calculation tool to predict conveying of polymer melts in single‐screw extruders. Integrating generalized sub‐models into network theory allows to represent the complex screw shapes and material behavior more realistically. Tests on an industrial extruder show close agreement with experiments, outperforming older
