A new extensional mixing element for improved dispersive mixing in twin-screw extrusion, part 2: experimental validation for immiscible polymer blends

In Part 1 of this work, we presented a novel static extensional mixing element (EME) for twin-screw extrusion operations and validated the design in terms of the type of flow experienced by the melt upon dispersive mixing. In Part 2, we experimentally demonstrate the ability of the EME to yield impr...
