Opis

The author presents single screw extrusion technology together with the relevant polymer fundamentals, with an emphasis on screw design. The presentation begins on a physical level, providing an in-depth conceptual understanding, followed by an analytical level with mathematical models. Practical applications of the mathematical models are illustrated by numerous examples. A brief description of twin screw extrusion technology is also presented. The second edition includes new chapters on die design, elastic effects in melt flow, and a new type of single-screw extruder with channeled barrel as well as improvements and corrections of the first edition. The Content: Physical Description of Single Screw Extrusion, Fundamentals of Polymers and Melt Rheology, Theory of Single-Screw Extrusion and Scale-Up, Screw Design and High Performance Screws, Gear Pumps, Static Mixers, and Dynamic Mixers, Physical Description of Twin-Screw Extruders, Die Design, Elastic Effects in Melt Flow, Special Single-Screw Extruder with Channeled Barrel.
