Precise In‐line volumetric dosing despite varying material composition. ABSTRACT Precise volumetric dosing of polymer melts is essential for dimensional stability and mass consistency in injection‐molded samples, particularly when melt compressibility influences the effective volume delivered to the cavity. Conventional approaches rely on reference pvT

Impact of Seasonal Composition on the Long‐Term Performance of Post‐Consumer Recycled Polypropylene
Ten batches of post‐consumer polypropylene recyclate were examined over a period of 15 months. Despite identical MFR and density specifications, there were significant differences in their composition, affecting mechanical performance. Elongation at break and crack resistance varied particularly strongly.
