The Acetylation of Starch by Reactive Extrusion [PDF]
Potato starch has been acetylated in a counter rotating twin screw extruder using vinylacetate and sodium hydroxide. The desired starch acetylation reaction is accompanied by an undesired parallel base catalysed hydrolysis reaction of vinylacetate and a consecutive hydrolysis reaction of the acetylated starch. Also deacetylation may occur.

Reactive processing of maleic anhydride-grafted ABS and its compatibilizing effect on PC/ABS blends [PDF]
Polymer compatibilizer agents are crucial for industrial materials development. Compatibilizer agents may be prepared by melt-grafting in the reactive extrusion process which is cheaper and environmentally friendly. Maleic anhydride-grafted acrylonitrile-

Agglomeration during reactive extrusion of particle-based biomass pellets [PDF]
Creating mechanically sound aggregates from powder or grain-like feedstocks is a fundamental challenge across industries. One example is the production of pellets from organic materials, like wood residues and cereal grains, for biofuel and animal feed ...

Investigation of the Reaction Kinetics of Poly(butylene terephthalate) and Epoxide Chain Extender
Polyesters, such as poly (butylene terephthalate) (PBT), owe a rather low melt strength, which is considered as not beneficial for foaming. To overcome this issue, a typical attempt is the incorporation of chemical modifications—so‐called chain extenders

Esters of Cinnamic Acid as Green Plasticizers for Polylactide Formulations with Improved Ductility
This study demonstrates the potential of different cinnamate esters, namely methyl trans‐cinnamate (MC), isobutyl cinnamate (IBC), allyl cinnamate (AC), and ethyl cinnamate (EC), as environmentally friendly plasticizers for polylactide (PLA). Plasticized

The effect of pressure and temperature variations on the FEM prediction of deformation during extrusion [PDF]
The extrusion process is complex, involving interaction between the process variables and the material’s high temperature properties and is typically conducted at relatively high temperatures because the lower flow stress of the material permits larger ...
