Multi-parameter in-process monitoring of clay dispersion during melt compounding with PLA

The time evolution of organoclay particle size and volume fraction, as well as the shear viscosity, are measured in-line for a series of Poly(lactic acid)/organoclay composites, using a rheo-optical die coupled to a prototype modular co-rotating twin screw extruder. The small angle light scattering...
