The aim of this review is to show the relationships between the structure, the process, and
the properties of biodegradable multiphase systems based on plasticized starch (PLS), the …

Co-continuous structures can be regarded as the coexistence of at least two continuous
structures within the same volume. Blends with co-continuous structures may combine the …

Fluids with complex microstructure, such as polymers, suspensions, and granular materials,
abound in daily life and in many industrial processes, eg, in the chemical, food, and oil …

The influence of the interfacial tension on the composition range within which fully co-
continuous polymer blend structures can exist is studied for different blends with selected …

Extrusion is widely used for the manufacturing of polymeric products, permitting the
preparation of highly uniform polymer melts at high rates. If polymers are placed in a tank or …

The morphology of blends of polystyrene and polyethylene prepared by single screw
extrusion and static mixing is shown to consist initially of sheets, which subsequently break …

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the existence of a critical layer
thickness in nanolayer coextrusion, under which no continuous layer is observed. Polymer …

Multilayer coextrusion is a process in which polymers are extruded and joined together in a
feedblock or die to form a single structure with multiple layers. These layers normally should …

Purely viscous and purely elastic interfacial instabilities as well as the layer encapsulation
phenomena in superposed pressure-driven channel flow of well characterized Newtonian …

The effect of viscoelasticity on multilayer polymer extrusion is discussed. In these
coextrusion processes predetermined patterns are created with a remarkable breadth of …
