Abstract
Extrusion is the most important single polymer processing operation. Virtually every pound of thermoplastic polymer is subjected to an extrusion process at some point in its conversion to a finished article. It is more amenable to theoretical analysis than some other processing operations for a number of reasons:
-
1.
It is a continuous, steady state process, not discontinuous like injection molding,
-
2.
For the most common mode of operation there are no free surfaces within the extruder, so that boundary conditions can be prescribed on known surfaces, and
-
3.
Viscoelastic behavior plays only a minor role, and viscous fluid models have been found adequate for the analysis.
