Scientists have developed a vacuum-assisted extrusion method that reduces internal porosity -- by up to 75% -- in large-scale 3D-printed polymer parts. Large-scale additive manufacturing has been ...

Film casting is a critical industrial process for the production of polymer films used in a wide range of applications, from energy storage membranes to packaging and coatings. Recent advances have ...

Polymers are defined as materials consisting of macromolecules that are made up of small, regularly repeating smaller subunits. The coextrusion process is a manufacturing process that uses different ...

3D printers are exact and are a fantastic way to print complicated parts that couldn't be built otherwise. However, sometimes 3D printers make mistakes by extruding too much material, too little, or ...

In this interview, AZoMaterials speaks with Dr. Annika Völp, Process Application Specialist at Thermo Fisher Scientific, about the role of extrusion in mechanical recycling of degraded plastic waste - ...

There are essentially three widely used technologies for manufacturing plastic products: Injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding. Injection molding is the most commonly used process for the ...
