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 ...

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 ...

Editor?s note: Chris Rauwendaal is a designer, consultant, and seminar instructor who has written extensively on process engineering and extrusion topics. Part 1 of this article (PM&A Nov./Dec. 2002) ...

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 ...

Polymer extrusion is a cornerstone of modern manufacturing, employed to produce films, pipes, profiles and advanced composites at industrial scale. The mechanical properties of extruded ...

Extrusion is a continuous processing technique in which polymeric materials are conveyed, melted and homogenised as they are forced through a die to form strands, sheets or complex profiles. Key to ...

For a long time, factory managers and procurement teams treated recycled resin like a bad compromise. The mindset was simple: ...

ExxonMobil Signature Polymers has worked with Bandera, manufacturer of extrusion lines for packaging, to create a PE ...

Angel investors understand the high stakes of funding new technologies. The journey is fraught with financial, technical and market risks—but when a groundbreaking well-designed innovation meets the ...

While countless tubes are extruded or injection molded each year, these manufacturing techniques are neither the most optimal nor the most cost-effective methods available to medical device ...
