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 ...

Drawn fiber is used in a wide range of applications including over-braiding for hoses, medical braiding, weaves as mist eliminators, strengthening for industrial belting applications, instrument and ...

LAMA, a Santiago-based company founded in August 2025, is using industrial robotic arms fitted with specialized polymer extruders from the Italian company REV3RD to produce large-format design objects ...

Hot melt extrusion (HME) formulation development depends heavily on choosing the appropriate polymers. This article reviews HME process parameters and highlights three polymers in HME: polyethylene ...

Extrusion is a process used for the creation of fixed cross-sectional profiles. Materials, such as plastic or thermoplastic, are pressed through a die of desired shape and cross-section. Plastic ...

On the right, a vacuum-assisted extrusion is leveraged in large-scale additive manufacturing to reduce porosity in printed parts. The inset image, on the left, is a close-up of the vacuum-assisted ...

Plastic is abundant in business and everyday life. You find it as product components, packaging and even in the containers used to ship products. For businesses interested in manufacturing or ...

A presentation at the Leistritz Pharmaceutical-Nutraceutical Extrusion Seminar explained how simulation tools benefit the development process. Twin-screw extruders (TSE) are used in multiple ...

MarqMetrix probes can be inserted into extruder barrels, enabling continuous monitoring of the extrusion process and allowing for quantitative and qualitative judgments to be made in real-time. PCA is ...
