The characteristic time periodicity τ* and the spatial characteristic wavelength λ of extrusion
flow instabilities of a linear and a branched commercial polyethylene (PE) are characterized …

The extrusion flow instabilities of three commercial styrene-butadiene rubbers (SBR) are
investigated as a function of molecular weight distribution (MWD); molecular architecture …

The extrusion flow instabilities of two commercial styrene‐butadiene rubbers are
investigated as they vary in isomer content (1, 4‐cis, 1, 4‐trans, and 1, 2 conformation) of the …

In industrial extrusion processes, increasing shear rates can lead to higher production rates.
However, at high shear rates, extruded polymers and polymer compounds often exhibit melt …

The flow curves of polymers often reveal the onset of melt instabilities such as sharkskin,
stick–slip, or gross melt fracture, in order of increasing shear rates. The focus of this work lies …

Uncured styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) can be modelled as a viscoelastic material with at
least two different relaxation mechanisms. In this paper we compare multi-mode constitutive …

Our goal is to produce a predictive model linking apparent shear rate with polymer die swell
for a single extrusion system. We propose the use of a Kennedy O'Hagan-type approach for …

The processing of wood fiber biocomposites, and in particular, the extrusion, is
accompanied by multiple challenges, among which agglomeration, entanglement, slip, or …
