Functionally gradient materials (FGM) have gradual variations in their properties along one
or more dimensions due to local compositional or structural distinctions by design …

Rheology has a key position in polymer research, being an important link in the so-called
'chain of knowledge'reaching from the production of polymers to their end-use properties. A …

The Polymeric Materials Encyclopedia presents state-of-the-art research and development
on the synthesis, properties, and applications of polymeric materials. This groundbreaking …

This research presents a rapid screening process for analyzing the extrudability of polymeric
materials for filament extrusion based additive manufacturing (AM) by predicting extrusion …

The effect of matrix properties, ie crystallinity and molecular weight, on the impact behaviour
of polypropylene–EPDM blends was studied. The blends were made on a twin-screw …

The degradation of polypropylene subjected to multiple extrusions was evaluated by
following the changes in the molecular weight distribution curves (MWD) obtained by size …

The effects of applying titanate (LICA 38), zirconate (NZ 44) and silanes (PROSIL 2020 and
PROSIL 9234) coupling agents to rice husk ash (RHA) in polypropylene composites are …

In the present work, experimental studies of the free‐radical‐initiated molecular weight
degradation of polypropylene in a modular self‐wiping corotating twin‐screw extruder are …

With the ever-growing demand for sustainability, designing polymeric materials using readily
accessible feedstocks provides potential solutions to address the challenges in energy and …

Long-chain branching (LCB) is known as a suitable method to increase the melt strength
behavior of linear polypropylene (PP), which is a fundamental weakness of this material …
