The distribution of the flow field, the input energy of the twin-screw, and the dissipated energy on the fluid during the twin-screw extrusion process were calculated by the POLYFLOW software to establish the relationship between the rheological parameters of starch fluid and tensile properties of the final extrudate. The results demonstrated that the pressure difference, the input energy of the twin-screw, and the dissipated energy on the fluid were directly proportional to the zero-shear viscosity ( η 0 ), reduced with the raise of the relaxation time constant ( λ ) and raised with the raise of the power-law index ( n ). When the moisture content of starch fluid raised, the η 0 value reduced, whereas the λ value and n value increased. The pressure difference, the input energy of the twin-screw, and the dissipated energy on the fluid decreased, reducing the maximum tensile force of the final extrudate. Through numerical simulation and experimental verification, it was found that the changes of η 0 value, λ value, and n value restricted each other on the tensile properties of final extrudate. Based on the numerical simulation, the tensile properties of the final extrudate could be predicted through rheological parameters of starch fluid. Practical Applications A method was established to predict the final extrudate properties based on rheological parameters and numerical simulation in this study. Based on the numerical simulation, the tensile properties of the final extrudate could be predicted through rheological parameters of starch fluid. This research will provide insight into the mechanism of twin-screw extrusion of starch-based materials.

To achieve the balance on economy and ecology, it is indispensable to explore the greener and more inexpensive method for the production of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs). Herein, a deep eutectic solvent (DES) system based on choline chloride (ChCl) and ethylene glycol (EG) was employed as the swollen solvent, combining with screw extrusion and permeant, to fabricate unmodified CNFs with high yield and thermal stability . The proposed method in this work was simple, convenient, and industrially viable. The hydrous DESs were applied in the process of CNFs preparation and dispersion to reduce the cost and viscosity of DES. To reveal the principle of CNFs preparation, the impact of sulfuric acid and water content of DES system on the chemical, physical, morphological, thermal, and dispersive properties of CNFs was systematically studied. Properties of the dispersed solvents were characterized by solvatochromic parameters and viscosity parameters to evaluate the potential influence on the preparation and dispersion of CNFs. In general, this work would play valuable guidance in realizing the preparation and dispersion of CNFs via a versatile DES solvent system, thus endowing cellulose materials high-value utilization.

The influence of improvement via electron beam (EB) of twin-screw extruded (TSE) high amylose corn starch on its multiscale structure and physicochemical properties was assessed. The granular integrity of TSE was lost and the crystal type changed. TSE increased amylose content, A-chain content, rapidly digestible starch content and slowly digestible starch content, but decreased crystallinity, molecular weight and resistant starch content. These structural changes made TSE samples more susceptible to subsequent EB-irradiation. The molecular weight and long chain of amylopectin in TSE-sample were decreased by EB-irradiation. Amylose content, crystallinity and short-range order were reduced by EB-irradiation. These structural alterations facilitated the enhancement of TSE properties. The TSE-EB sample had better solubility, anti-digestive properties, lower swelling power and apparent viscosity. The combination of TSE and EB is an effective method to improve starch's structure and properties and this modified starch could be implemented to tailor starch to the desired food applications.

Fully biobased, thermally remoldable, and highly tough blends were formulated from epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) in a large-scale production via twin-screw extrusion and injection molding. During the melt-compounding of PLA and ESO, self-polymerization of ESO occurred in the presence of cationic initiator to form a polymerized ESO (PESO) rubbery phase within PLA matrix. The weight ratios of ESO to PLA ranging from 1:9 to 4:6 were designed to tailor the properties of the formed PESO/PLA blends such as crystallization behavior, rheological properties, mechanical properties, thermal stabilities, and morphologies. The PESO/PLA blends exhibited significantly increased elongation at break, tensile toughness, crystallinity, and complex viscosity when compared to pure PLA due to the formation of a two-phase separated structure in the blends; however, significant decreases in tensile strength, tensile modulus, storage modulus, and glass transition temperature of the blends were observed after the addition of ESO.

In this study, 9-anthracenemethyl methacrylate (AMMA) and styrene (St) as monomers and benzoyl peroxide as an initiator were used to synthesize P(St-co-AMMA), a macromolecule tracer with a fluorescence effect, via free radical copolymerization. A fluorescent online detection device was built on the basis of the principle of fluorescence online detection by using the single-screw extrusion platform of a torque rheometer to explore the effect of the amount of macromolecular tracer and screw speed on the residence time distribution of polystyrene in single-screw extrusion. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H-NMR, thermal stability, fluorescence properties, and rheological properties show that the resulting product P(St-co-AMMA) has a degree of thermal stability, fluorescence, and rheological properties similar to polystyrene, so this product can be used to characterize the residence time distribution during single-screw extrusion. The amount of macromolecular tracer P(St-co-AMMA) does not affect the residence time distribution of polystyrene during single-screw extrusion processing, meanwhile, the minimum residence time decreases and the residence time distribution becomes narrow as the screw speed increases, that is, the axial mixing capacity of the single-screw extruder decreases as the screw speed increases.

Cellulose-based vitrimers were prepared using a crosslinkable macromolecular plasticizer and acetylated carboxymethyl cellulose via twin-screw extrusion. The cellulose-based material was toughened by the entanglement between the macromolecular plasticizer segments, and the exudation of the plasticizer was avoided by crosslinking. The prepared materials exhibited excellent hydrophobicity and shape memory properties. The plasticizer was evidently effective, and the reprocessing was completed at 130 °C within 15 min. The materials could be reprocessed at a lower temperature over a short period of time without any obvious degradation. After reprocessing three times, the material performance did not decrease significantly, thus showing good potential for regeneration and recycling.

The dispersion and orientation arrangement of functional polymers with fillers are critical to their performance. However, there are rare detailed researches on the visualization of the orientation process about functional fillers in composite melts and the mechanistic effects on performance. In this work, it explored the change process of the orientation morphology for polyacrylate/silica (PAcr/SiO 2 ) composite microspheres in polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) at different melting temperatures. Afterwards, the morphology and distribution of oriented microfibers in composite fibers melted at different temperatures were observed by transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results showed that composite microfibers could be formed in tight arrangement and obtained average orientation of 50.88 in the composite fibers at 250°C. Under this circumstance, the addition of nano SiO 2 particles had no effect on the rheological type. Meanwhile, the shear stress was 99.29% higher than that of pure PMMA system under the same conditions. As for the elongation at break, it was found that the elongation at break of the composite fiber prepared at 250°C was 169.43% higher than that of pure PMMA. Therefore, it provided a new method to achieve well dispersion of functional fillers in molten systems. Furthermore, it was beneficial to enhance the elongation at break of functional composites.

Poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA) is a typical high-performance fiber and usually synthesized by low temperature solution polycondensation in twin screw extruder. During the reactive extrusion, flow behavior, rheokinetics, and temperature are highly coupled, which makes it difficult to ensure the quality of product. In the present work, the rheokinetics of the PPTA solution is established by experiments and its reactive extrusion is investigated via 3-D numerical simulation. The flow pattern, molecular weight distribution and temperature have been investigated for the extruders with three different elements, i.e., full flight screw (FF), kneading block (KB), and screw mixing element (SME). The results indicate that the unique flow characteristic of different screw elements affects mixing experience of the reactants and further the PPTA qualities. By numerical simulation, it shows the temperature increase within the tested extrusion stage is 7 K and reaction heat is found the main energy source for extrusion stage. Furthermore, heat removal method is verified with consideration of industrial production process. The numerical simulation work also discusses the reaction and mixing process in the extruders with three combined screws. The results show the introduction of more reverse FF and KB elements can lead to higher quality of PPTA. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 57:1252–1261, 2017. © 2017 Society of Plastics Engineers

Biobased PA56 is an innovative type of biobased polyamide that is regarded as the most potential material to replace traditional petroleum-based polyamide. However, biobased PA56 exhibits poor notched impact strength, which limits its applications. Biobased PA56/poly(octene-co-ethylene) grafted glycidyl methacrylate (POE-g-GMA) composites were mixed through twin-screw extrusion in the toughener range of 0–25 wt% and subsequently investigated for their structural, crystallization behavior, thermal and mechanical properties. Consequently, a nearly seventeen-fold increase in the notched Izod impact strength is registered. The essential work of fracture (EWF) method is used for the determination of fracture toughness of toughened biobased PA56.

TPU and flame-retardant TPU (FR-TPU) were prepared through a polyaddition reaction with polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG) and 4,4′-methylene-bisphenyl-isocyanate (MDI) by reactive extruding. 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) and diethyl bis(2-hydroxyethyl) amino methyl phosphonate (DBAMP) were used as the chain extender in different ratios, respectively, to obtain TPU and flame-retardant TPU (FR-TPU)with adjusted molecular weight and mechanical properties. The resulting TPU and FR-TPU were characterized by FTIR, DSC, TGA, and NMR. A kinetic model based on the data from extrusion process was used to depict the polymerization of TPU. These reactions carried out without any solvent and the residual water showed that the polymerization with BDO could be achieved in 20 minutes, instead, that with DBAMP in 55 minutes while with a similar molecular weight. These results point out that Twin Screw Extrusion Reaction (TSER) is a suitable and convenient way to produce a variety of polymers.
