Solid-State Shear Pulverization

Solid-State Shear Pulverization: Chilled Extrusion Technique for Value-Added Plastics Processing and Polymer-Based Materials Development discusses solid-state shear pulverization (SSSP) and solid-state/melt extrusion (SSME), both unconventional polymer processing methods that are based on twin screw extrusion. The technology was originally employed to produce reduced particle size of polymeric materials, but recently has been successfully applied to mechanochemically modify plastics, fabricate polymer blends and nanocomposites on a commercially-scalable level.

• TCovers the current state-of-the-art in Solid-State Shear Pulverization from both a scientific and practical point-of-view
• Enables engineers to deploy the novel process in entirely new applications - through coverage of economics, scale-up and associated challenges, and examples of successful real-world projects
• Includes information for developing practical business cases for using the technology, such as cycle times, throughput rates and efficiency factorse only book to cover the current state of the art in Solid-State Shear Pulverization, from both a scientific and practical point of view
