Design and Fabrication of a Spin Coater with In-Situ Optical Measurement for Soft Thin Films
Daniel Gliksberg, Jiajie Qiu, Jun Suzuki +1
Spin coating is widely used for fabrication of thin polymer and elastomer films, yet reliable thickness verification of highly compliant materials remains challenging due to deform…
Improving mixing characteristics with a pitched tip in kneading elements in twin-screw extrusion
Yasuya Nakayama, Hiroki Takemitsu, Toshihisa Kajiwara +3
In twin-screw extrusion, the geometry of a mixing element mainly determines the basic flow pattern, which eventually affects the mixing ability as well as the dispersive ability of…
Effects of pitched tips of novel kneading disks on melt mixing in twin-screw extrusion
Yasuya Nakayama, Nariyoshi Nishihira, Toshihisa Kajiwara +3
In mixing highly viscous materials, like polymers, foods, and rubbers, the geometric structure of the mixing device is a determining factor for the quality of the mixing process. I…
Melt-Mixing by Novel Pitched-Tip Kneading Disks in a Co-Rotating Twin-Screw Extruder
Yasuya Nakayama, Eiji Takeda, Takashi Shigeishi +2
Melt-mixing in twin-screw extruders is a key process in the development of polymer composites. Quantifying the mixing performance of kneading elements based on their internal physi…
