The author presents single screw extrusion technology together with the relevant polymer fundamentals, with an emphasis on screw design. The presentation begins on a physical level, providing an in-depth conceptual understanding, followed by an analytical level with mathematical models. Practical applications of the mathematical models are illustrated by numerous examples. A brief description of twin screw extrusion technology is also presented. The second edition includes new chapters on die design, elastic effects in melt ...

The author presents single screw extrusion technology together with the relevant polymer fundamentals, with an emphasis on screw design. The presentation begins on a physical level, providing an in-depth conceptual understanding, followed by an analytical level with mathematical models. Practical applications of the mathematical models are illustrated by numerous examples. A brief description of twin screw extrusion technology is also presented. The second edition includes new chapters on die design, elastic effects in melt flow, and a new type of single-screw extruder with channeled barrel as well as improvements and corrections of the first edition.
