TY - BOOK AU - Chung, Chan I. TI - Extrusion of polymers: theory and practice SN - 9781569904596 U1 - 668.413 C58, 2 PY - 2010/// CY - USA PB - Hanser Publications KW - Technology of other organic products KW - Plastics--Extrusion KW - Practical applications of the mathematical models N1 - The author presents single-screw extrusion technology together with the relevant polymer fundamentals with an emphasis on screw design. The presentation begins on a physical level, providing an in-depth conceptual understanding, followed by an analytical level with mathematical models. Practical applications of the mathematical models are illustrated by numerous examples. A brief description of twin-screw extrusion technology is also presented. The second edition includes new chapters on die design, elastic effects in melt flow, and a new type of single-screw extruders with channeled barrel as well as improvements and corrections of the first edition ER -
