Nanotechnology and nanomaterials are a rapidly growing interdisciplinary fields of knowledge, spanning many areas of research. Nanomaterials can be classified into nanostructured materials and nanophase/nanoparticle ...

Until now, the general construction of the plasticizing system has assumed placing the screw in a fixed barrel. However, at the end of the 20th century, a completely new concept of the design of an extruder was put forward, ...

As the technology of polymer extrusion becomes more sophisticated, demand on possibility to accurate simulate extrusion process in full 3D rises significant. The single screw extruder (SSE) is one of the most widely used ...

This paper aims to numerically evaluate a new concept of construction in a single screw extruder design. Rotational barrel segment introduced in 1998 significantly changes the kinematics of movement in a single screw ...

Newex project The goal of the NEWEX project is the construction and testing of the new innovative extruder. By the application of a new concept of vital parts: innovative active grooved feed section (IAGFS), original ...

Only a few original designs of the active grooved feed section are known, used in laboratory prototype extruders, which were used to test their characteristics. The active grooved feed section, as opposed to the passive ...

The paper will present the state of the art of the existent constructional solutions of the adjustable grooved feed section of a single screw extruder. This section is characterized by the fact that during the extrusion ...

The main research goal of the NEWEX Project is the construction and testing of the new innovative extruder. By the application of a New concept of vital parts: innovative active grooved feed section (IAGFS), original ...

Polymer nanocomposite has been known as one of the early success stories of realizing the potential of nanomaterial as reinforcement filler to improve the properties of neat polymers. By adding the nano sized organic ...

Introducing a new element rotational barrel segment (RBS) into construction of single screw extruder (SSE), significantly changes the kinematic of motion in SSE. Main goal of incorporating RBS into SSE construction is ...
