Evolution of the peroxide-induced degradation of polypropylene along a twin-screw extruder : experimental data and theoretical predictions

This article reports an experimental and theoretical study of the peroxide-induced degradation of polypropylene in a corotating twin-screw extruder. Experiments were performed with different peroxide concentrations and different operating conditions. The evolution of the chemical reaction along the...
