The article presents the results of analysis and research of the disc plasticizing mechanism operation on the mechanical, thermal, and structural properties of extruded material. The analysis of velocity distribution and trajectories of the material's displacement leads to a conclusion that the flow of polymer melt through the clearance between the discs arranges the supermolecular structure and in this way results in an extrudate with improved mechanical properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
