Capillary Rheometry Limits for Post Consumer Resin in Multicavity Tools
Capillary rheometry establishes binding high-shear viscosity limits that prevent multicavity tool imbalance and part weight variance in post-consumer resins.
Transient Entanglement Disentanglement Kinetics in Deep Draw Thermoforming under Multiaxial Strain Gradients
Matching plug speed to polymer disentanglement kinetics prevents corner thinning and optimizes wall thickness in deep draw thermoforming.
Biaxial Extensional Deformation Dynamics of Semi Crystalline Polymer Sheets
Biaxial extensional strain hardening controls sheet thinning, requiring precise melt strength, tool friction, and temperature tuning to set uniform container wall thickness.
Establishing Rheological Dispersity Limits to Prevent Strain Hardening Failure in Regrind Blends
Establishing Trouton ratio floors via capillary extensional rheology prevents catastrophic web tear and parison sag in regrind polyolefin blends.
Amorphous Thermoplastic Rheology and Extruded Sheet Stretch Dynamics
Amorphous sheet stretch dynamics depend on strain hardening and thermal saturation to prevent localized necking and corner blowout during deep thermoforming.
