Extrusion is a process widely used in the polymer processing industry. It involves pushing material through a die with a specific cross-sectional shape, resulting in products like profiles, thin ...

Polyfuze Graphics has introduced a technology that “fuses” permanent labels into the plastic during the extrusion process, eliminating the risk of peeling or detachment. The innovation offers ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a vacuum-assisted extrusion method that reduces internal porosity—by up to 75%—in large-scale 3D-printed polymer parts. The paper is ...

Changes such as the transition from crystalline to amorphous phases or shifts in vibrational modes can be used to customize the end-polymer's mechanical, thermal, and optical properties to specific ...

Reactive processing in polymer extrusion harnesses the extruder as a continuous reactor, enabling in situ chemical modification of polymers while they are conveyed and melted. By integrating ...
