Abstract The work presents the results of experimental studies of plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) extruded by a single-screw extruder with a modified feed section. The variable factors were the feed opening width, the feed pocket depth in the extruder barrel, and the rotational speed of the screw. The following parameters were studied: extrudate temperature Tw (°C), screw torque M (Nm), polymer mass flow rate G (kg/h), unit consumption of energy supplied to the extruder Ejc (J/g), and extrusion process energy efficiency κ (%). It was found that the increase in the depth of the pocket and the decrease in the width of the feed opening influence the extrusion process in a positive way.

AbstractPolypropylene/kaolin and unplasticised poly(vinyl chloride)/kaolin composites were prepared by directly melt mixing polypropylene (PP) and unplasticised poly(vinyl chloride) (UPVC) with maleic anhydride (MAH) and low cost kaolin via in situ extrusion process. The influences of kaolin particles and MAH in PP and UPVC matrix were discussed through investigating the flexural and morphological properties of filled PP and UPVC composites. The extrudates obtained from the extrusion process were carefully collected in order to investigate the elastic properties (extrudate swell and melt fracture). Results revealed that the above mentioned properties are strongly dependent on the presences of kaolin and MAH in both composite systems. Observation on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed that the kaolin books (stacks of kaolin particles) were successfully delaminated thus lead to a well dispersed of kaolin particles in PP and UPVC matrix.

Abstract The article presents results of a study of the effect of selected granulometric features of plastified poly(vinyl chloride) granule on the basic parameters of extrusion. In the study, it was determined how mass polymer flow rate, power supplied to the extruder, power transmitted by the polymer, unit energy consumption, and energy efficiency of the extrusion process were related to pellet length and bulk pellet density. The tests were carried out using an extruder with a screw diameter of 25 mm and a length-to-diameter ratio of 25, and involved processing of pellets of different lengths at variable rotational speeds of the screw. It was established that the granulometric features of plastified poly(vinyl chloride) considered in this study, i.e., pellet length and pellet bulk density, affect the effectiveness of the extrusion process. It was shown that best effectiveness of extrusion is achieved with the use of a granule characterized by a pellet length that is close to the other characteristic dimension of granule – its pellet diameter.
