Influence of flow-type-dependent matrix rheology on droplet breakup in twin-screw extruded polymer blends

Abstract The morphology of immiscible polymer blends generated during twin-screw extrusion depends on the deformation history of the dispersed phase and on the matrix rheology. Here, this effect is investigated numerically in a two-dimensional, co-rotating, fully intermeshing bat...
