Eliminating Melt Fracture and Flow Instabilities

A common problem encountered when extruding plastics is that they show melt fracture or 'shark-skinning'. This is seen as a jagged surface on the extrudate. The problem is caused by the extrudate first 'sticking' to the die wall, then 'slipping' as the pressure builds.

Assessment of Dispersion of Ink Pigments

The sample is oscillated with an increasing stress known as an amplitude sweep and the storage and loss moduli are plotted against the shear stress. The moduli initially are independent of stress, giving a plateau known as the linear viscoelastic region (LVR).
