Tetrafluoroethylene–perfluoroalkyl vinylether copolymer (PFA) has a broad application ranging from biomedical and aerospace to corroding environments in the chemical industry. Despite low share end-of-life products, PFA processing can produce up 30% of waste. Thus, understanding how recycled fluorinated polymers affect product performance is crucial ensure primary recycling, besides economic en...

The main objective of this paper is to study the effect of extrusion parameters (extrusion stresses and temperature) and die geometry, i.e. extrusion radius, on the extruded aluminum quality using FEM Simulation Technique. For this purpose, the general FEA Software ABAQUS was used to set up the finite element model of the warm aluminum extrusion in two dimensions (2D). Aluminum alloy Al-2014 wa...

The types of packages and containers in circulation are extremely wide-ranging: glass bottles, aluminum cans, detergent containers, gift-wraps, food packaging films and so forth. According to the statistics for 2007, total expenditure on packages and containers reached 6.2 trillion yen 1). The theme of this article, extrusion lamination processing, plays an important role in manufacturing paper...

Pelletization is an agglomeration process that converts fine powders or granules of bulk drugs and excipients into small, free flowing, spherical or semi-spherical units, referred to as pellets. This review outlines manufacturing of spherical pellets. The manufacturing techniques include Drug layering, Extrusion-Spheronization, Cryopelletization, Compression, Balling, Hot-Melt Extrusion Technol...
