Determination of Correlations between Melt Quality and the Screw Performance Index in the Extrusion Process

For polymer-processing extruders, designing screws via analytical computational models is helpful for reducing experimental costs. However, the current simulation programs cannot predict the melt quality at the screw tip with sufficient accuracy. There are a number of definitions of melt quality in...
