Discover how the Thermo Scientific TM Process TM 11 and Process TM 16 extruders can aid in mechanical polymer recycling by helping define the optimal workflow and recycling parameters. Why is it ...
Polymers are organic materials that are characterized by unique properties, such as tensile strength and viscoelastic behavior under deformation. As a result, these materials are used extensively in ...
Hot melt extrusion (HME) formulation development depends heavily on choosing the appropriate polymers. This article reviews HME process parameters and highlights three polymers in HME: polyethylene ...
Plastics are everywhere these days, but current recycling techniques allow only a very limited portion to be reclaimed after initial use. Researchers in the Department of Chemical Engineering at North ...
There are several benefits to incorporating hot melt extrusion (HME) processes into pharmaceutical industry manufacturing workflows, particularly when mixing an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) ...

From lab breakthrough to industry leader in large-format 3D printing
It wasn’t just that they showed us how to use the machine, they pulled together the whole ecosystem needed to make it ...
The authors examine the influence of glass-transition temperature, melt viscosity, degradation temperature, and process settings. Hot-melt extrusion (HME) technology is prominent in the pharmaceutical ...
A group of U.S. inventors might have found a way to make plastics conductive to electricity and heat without going through a laborious compounding process of mixing additives and resins. The inventors ...
