Co-rotating screws and/or extruders are used in many branches of industry for producing, preparing and/or processing highly viscous materials. They find a wide variety of applications especially in the plastics, rubber and food industries. This book provides basic engineering knowledge regarding twin-screw machines; it lists the most important machine-technical requirements and provides examples based on actual practice. Better understanding of the processes is emphasized as this is a prerequisite for optimizing twin-screw designs and operating them efficiently.

Testing of plastics provides an insight to the behavior of the material in response to applied loads or exposure to the environment and time. In order to determine the true performance of a plastic material, a comprehensive understanding of the broad range of plastics behavior, such as its mechanical, thermal, electrical, rheological, physical and chemical properties as well as environmental resistance is necessary. In industrial practice, fabricated parts are often tested as part of the design validation step to ensure that end use performance requirements are adequately met. This book provid
