Author Description

This book presents a complete account of twin screw extrusion, an increasingly popular method of mixing and modifying polymers. As part of its comprehensive treatment of this complex technology, the volume distinguishes between the different types of commercially available twin screw extruders and describes their capabilities. The development of this important technology is traced, and the current state of the method is covered in-depth. This is the best, most clearly written guide to this field, and will be of great use to engineers and industrial chemists, polymer fabricators, and processing machinery manufacturers.
