The two-step extrusion method was used to manufacture pipe-grade high density polyethylene (HDPE) material from recycled HDPE. With the two-step extrusion method, dicumyl peroxide (DCP) can completely ...

Polymers are organic materials that are characterized by unique properties, such as tensile strength and viscoelastic behavior under deformation. As a result, these materials are used extensively in ...

While countless tubes are extruded or injection molded each year, these manufacturing techniques are neither the most optimal nor the most cost-effective methods available to medical device ...

There are several benefits to incorporating hot melt extrusion (HME) processes into pharmaceutical industry manufacturing workflows, particularly when mixing an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) ...

Monofilament, including drawn fiber, is extruded from molten polymer resin materials. These resins include very-long-chain polymer molecules. In the melt phase, these molecules are arranged in a ...

On the right, a vacuum-assisted extrusion is leveraged in large-scale additive manufacturing to reduce porosity in printed parts. The inset image, on the left, is a close-up of the vacuum-assisted ...

The hot melt extrusion (HME) process can be employed in the production of a wide range of pharmaceutical dosage forms, including capsules, tablets, lozenges and implants. HME is suitable for both ...
