Evolution of polymer blend morphologies during extrusion in a flat die [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The control of blend morphologies during process is of prime importance in order to predict the final properties of polymer blends. A coextrusion technique combined with static mixers was developed in order to smartly blend polymeric melts and to ...

Thermoplastic Extrusion in Food Processing

open access: yes, 2012
Extrusion cooking was first introduced in food and feed processing in the late 1950s. Since then, the systems involved have grown in popularity, efficiency and flexibility. Extrusion cooking technology is most used for cereal and protein processing in the food industry and is closely related to the pet food and feed sectors.
