Distributive mixing characteristics of a Dulmage-type screw for a single-screw extruder: Experimental and numerical evaluation

The mixing characteristics of a Dulmage-type screw, a kind of distributive mixing element, in single-screw extrusion were investigated. To evaluate the mixing ability, a melt-mixing extrusion experiment diluting a masterbatch with its base polymer and a numerical polymer melt flow simulation were pe...
