Use of Flow Modeling to Optimize the Twin-Screw Extrusion Process for the Preparation of Lignocellulosic Fiber-Based Composites
Thermoplastic polymers reinforced by lignocellulosic fibers are increasingly used to replace conventional composites based on carbon or glass fibers. These materials are generally prepared by dispersing the fibers into the polymer matrix by melt mixing in a twin-screw extrusion process. However, dur...
