    Notes: The performance of screws of advanced design in injection molding has been investigated with respect to four different objectives: (1) improvement of distributive mixing; (2) improvement of dispersive mixing; (3) increase of plasticating capacity; and (4) reduction of inhomogeneity of melt temperature.The screws used are three zone screws with different compression ratios, screws with pineapple or Maddock/Egan mixing elements, with one or two channel barrier sections, with static mixers mounted in the valve or in the nozzle, or with combinations of these different elements. The best mixing quality is obtained with multi-channel Maddock sections. The highest plasticating capacity and, consequently, the shortest cycle times are achieved with the barrier screws. Temperature measurements show that these screws improve melt homogeneity considerably with a relatively small loss of plasticating time. In all cases, increasing the back pressure gives inferior results compared with improvement of the screw design.

    Notes: The Buss cokneader is a single-screw extruder with interrupted flights. Pins from the barrel are inserted into the screw channel. The screw is both rotating and oscillating. Due to this action, screw flights are continuously wiped by the pins. During one passage of the pin, the material is not only subjected to high shear stress, but it is reoriented as well, thus promoting the distributive mixing process by the local weaving action of the pins and screw flights. Attempts to model the cokneader tend to focus on a single pin passing through the hole in a screw flight (1, 2). However, a more comprehensive model can start with the same equations that apply to the corotating twin-screw extruder (3). Because the effect of leakage flows on the local pressure gradient has to be considered along with the effect of the local dragging action of the pins (neglecting the oscillatory action), experiments with model liquids have been performed to evaluate the comprehensive model. Additional experiments with a Plexiglas-wailed cokneader support the calculations concerning filled lengths in various screw geometries. These results, and those of model calculations, which are extended to the nonisothermal, non-Newtonian situation, are presented.

    Notes: Slip at boundaries is possible in viscous flows; for instance, in the extrusion of foodstuffs, water-containing materials, and some polymers. There are two phenomenological descriptions of slip: The first is based on the presence of a very thin, low viscosity boundary layer and has been derived for capillary flow and extrusion; the second is based on a Coulomb-friction mechanism and has been derived for capillary flow only. After a survey of these results, the friction model is derived for the extrusion process. All calculations are as simple as possible: two-dimensional, Newtonian, isothermal, and with constant boundary layer parameters of coefficients of friction. A strong dependence of pumping characteristics and efficiency on the slip boundary conditions, and also on the extruder length in the case of friction, was found, especially when slip is only allowed for at the screw surface. Exercises like these may help in understanding abnormal extrusion behavior of slippery materials in practice.

    Notes: A detailed rheologicai analysis over large shear rate intervals has been performed for electron-beam-irradiated blends of polypropylene (PP) and ethylenepropylene-diene monomer (EPDM) rubber. At high frequencies, a lower viscosity results from irradiation compared with unirradiated blends, which implies that the irradiated blends are easily processable via injection molding. At low shear rates, however, the irradiated blends behave like a network, and the viscosity may even exceed the viscosity of the unirradiated blends. This particular behavior can result in the formation of weak weld lines. Aggregation of the dispersed, cross-linked EPDM particles into a skeletal structure is the most probable explanation. In a first attempt, it was tried to correlate the network behavior to the average (shortest) interparticle distance (ID) between two rubber particles, which takes into account both volume fractions and particle size of the dispersed phase. Provided that the EPDM rubber is sufficiently cross-linked, the network behavior becomes more pronounced; i.e., increase in viscosity with decreasing interparticle distance. Above a critical value of the ID, the viscosity does not change and is determined by the PP matrix. As a vast amount of literature indicates, the rheology of blends proves to be difficult to understand. Because of the more stable morphology, compared with usual blends, induced by irradiation, a more valuable interpretation of the rheological behavior is possible.

    Notes: A number of recent screw designs is analyzed for melting performance, using a simple analytical approach based on Tadmor's original work. The melting length for a screw with constant depth channel is used as reference. An ideal compression screw will have a melting length of one-half the melting length of the reference screw. The Maillefer melt separation principle is discussed. The Maillefer screw melts in 2/3 of the length of the reference screw. Screws by Barr, by Dray and Lawrence and by Kim are shown to approach the ideal compression screw. A new design screw, using ideal compression and multiple channels and having a very large screw pitch, is shown to be a considerably more efficient melting device than any of the other, screws discussed.

    Notes: In many operations in polymer processing, such as polymer blending, devolatilization, or incorporation of fillers in a polymeric matrix, continuous mixers are used; e.g., corotating twin-screw extruders (ZSK), Buss Cokneaders and Farrel Continuous Mixers. Theoretical analysis of these machines tends to emphasize the flow in complex geometries rather than generate results that can be directly used (1-5). In this paper, a simple model is developed for the hot melt closely intermeshing corotating twin-screw extruder, analogous to the analysis of the single-screw extruder carried out in 1922 and 1928 (6, 7). With this model, and more specifically with its extension to the complete nonisothermal, non-Newtonian situation, it is possible to understand the extrusion process and to calculate the energy, specific energy, and temperature rise during the process with respect not only to the viscosity of the melt, but also to the screw geometry (location and number of transport elements, kneading sections and blisters, pitch, positive or negative, screw clearance, and flight width) and screw speed. To support the theoretical analysis, model experiments with a Plexiglas-walled twin-screw extruder were performed, in addition to practical experiments with melts on small- and large-scale extruders, with very reasonable results, In Part 2, the Buss Cokneader will be analyzed analogously.

    Notes: In the previous paper (1) the melting performance of a number of recent screw designs was analyzed, using a rather simple theory. A new screw design was proposed. Here the results of more elaborate calculations, are given in which the influence of the flight clearance and of a shear-thinning temperature dependent viscosity are investigated. The former conclusions are not altered in essence by these effects. Experimental results with a prototype screw are presented, showing that melting capacity is increased. Up to 100 percent increase in throughput is possible in the high RPM range (in comparison with a much longer traditional compression screw), provided that the feed capacity is sufficient. This usually requires the use of a grooved, well-cooled, feed section; the capacity of such a feed section depends, for a given screw geometry, on channel depth and granule dimensions. The melt leaves the melting section at a relatively low temperature. The melting section only melts the material and does not raise, its temperature unnecessarily. A further step towards separating distinct tasks of the extruder by functional screw design has been made.
