In this study, we performed RTD measurement at the die exit of co-rotating twin-screw extruder using a non-destructive ultrasonic device. The ultrasonic device was attached at slit die and was composed of a steel buffer rod and 10 MHz longitudinal piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer. This in-line ultrasonic monitoring method is based on the ultrasonic response of $CaCO_3$ filled in polymer. The RTD is evaluated by variation of ultrasonic attenuation with time caused by change of the tracer concentration during extrusion. The ultrasonic tracer, pellet type of compounded $CaCO_3$ in polymer was used in this study. The effects of tracer concentration on RTD and flow patterns were studied. Evaluation for the residence functions at different screw speeds, feeding rates and screw configurations were also carried out.

Recycling of waste polyvinyl chloride plastics has attracted much attention due to environmental problems, but the poor mechanical properties, low thermal stability, frequent breakage of strands, and melt cracking of the waste plastics have limited their widespread use. To overcome these disadvantages of waste PVC (W-PVC), recycled PVC powder blend was prepared by adding high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) as a heat stabilizer and compatibilizer, respectively. An intermeshing co-rotating twin screw extruder was used to prepare the blend, and the characteristics of the blend were analyzed by SEM and TGA, and by using a UTM and Izod impact tester. The impact strength was improved as the EVA content increased for the W-PVC/HDPE (80/20 wt%) blend. As the HDPE and EVA contents increased in the W-PVC/HDPE/EVA blend, the impact strength increased. SEM observations also revealed the improved interfacial adhesion for the EVA-containing blend.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been used as a general-purpose polymer because of its lower cost, good durability and mechanical properties compared to other materials. However, PVC is vulnerable to heat deformation and generates a toxic gas like hydrogen chloride. Therefore, it is important to delay or prevent the flame retardancy and thermal degradation of the PVC during the processing. It was reported that aluminum trihydroxide (ATH) improved flame retardancy as well as smoke inhibition of the virgin polymer. In this study, PVC composites by addition of ATH were compounded in a modular intermeshing co-rotating twin screw extruder. The PVC composites with different concentrations of ATH (0~5 phr) were analyzed. Flame retardancy of the PVC composite significantly increased depending on the ATH concentration. LOI of the composite also increased with the concentration of ATH. There were no significant differences for the thermal properties of the PVC composites with ATH.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of processing parameters of co-rotating twin screw extruder and dry methods on the level of resistant starch (RS) and the properties of extrudate prepared from normal maize starch. The processing parameters were used 90, 110, 130$^{\circ}C$ in temperature, 25.0~30.0% in moisture content, 150, 200, 250 rpm in screw speed and hot and cool air drying and drying after refrigerating in drying methods. The barrel temperature and drying methods had affected the level of resistant starch of extrudate. RS levels of extrudates were ranged from 2.4 to 15.5% by AOAC method. The extrudates, extruded at 110$^{\circ}C$ and then stored at 4$^{\circ}C$, showed the highest level of RS level (15.5%). Water absorption index increased with increasing moisture content and peak temperatures and viscosities of extudates decreased compare to that of raw starch from 94$^{\circ}C$ to 50~65$^{\circ}C$ and from 220 to 46~98 RVU, respectively. Extudates treated in 90$^{\circ}C$ and 110$^{\circ}C$ showed strong peak at $2{\theta}=6.7{\sim}17.0^{\circ}$ by X-ray diffractometry and had ~150$^{\circ}C$ endotherm like as that of RS3 starch by differential scanning calorimetry. In case of 130$^{\circ}C$, extrudates showed strong peak at $2{\theta}=20.0^{\circ}$ and had 106$^{\circ}C$ endotherm.

옥수수에 5 $\mu$g/g의 FB$_1$을 인위적으로 첨가한 후 co-rotating mixing twin screw extruder를 사용하여 140, 160, 및 18$0^{\circ}C$에서 각각 screw speed를 80, 100 및 120rpm으로 조정하여 extrusion 처리하였다. Extrusion 처리에 의한 FB$_1$ 감소율은 약 41~45% 수준이었으며, 처리 조건에 따른 차이는 없었다. Glucose, fructose 및 sucrose를 각각 첨가한 옥수수를 14$0^{\circ}C$, 120 rpm에서 extrusion 처리하였을 때 glucose를 첨가한 옥수수에서의 FB$_1$ 감소율이 증가하였다. Glucose 함량의 증가에 따라 FB$_1$의 감소율도 증가하였으며, glucose가 2.5%, 5% 및 7.5% 존재할 때 extrusion 처리 옥수수에 잔존하는 FB$_1$은 각각 51%, 34% 및 19%수준이었다.

In this study, the reclaimed polypropylene (RPP) and waste ground rubber tire (WGRT) were used to simulate the thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) for cost reduction and resources recycling. Also, we examined the effects of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) and 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di-(tert-butylperoxy)-hexane (DTBPH) as peroxide type cross-linking agents to enhance the properties of TPV's. The components of RPP and WGRT were fixed at 30 and 70 wt%, and DCP and DTBPH were added in the concentrations from 0.5 to 1.5 phr, respectively. RPP/WGRT composites with different contents of DCP and DTBPH were prepared by a modular intermeshing co-rotating twin screw extruder. The Young's modulus of composites were decreased with increasing peroxides contents. On the other hand, tensile strength, elongation at break, and impact strength of the composites were increased with peroxide contents. We also confirmed that interfacial adhesion between RPP and WGRT was considerably improved by adding the peroxides. Taken together, DTBPH added RPP/WGRT composites exhibited better mechanical properties rather than those of DCP added composites.

In this study, aliphatic polyketone (PK)/chopped carbon fiber (CCF) composites with various CCF contents were prepared using a modular intermeshing co-rotating twin screw extruder, and their mechanical and thermal properties such as tensile, flexural, and impact strength and thermal conductivity were investigated. The amount of CCF was increased from 0 to 50 wt%. The tensile and flexural strength of the PK/CCF composites increased as the CCF content increased, but the elongation at break and impact strength was lower than that of pure PK. Thermal properties such as heat distortion temperature and thermal conductivity increased as the CCF content increased. Morphological observations revealed that fiber orientation and interface adhesion between the PK and the CCF in the PK/CCF composites were formed due to the twin screw extrusion, which contributed to improving the mechanical and thermal properties of the composites.

Laboratary scale co-rotating twin-screw extruder(D=4mm, L/P=14)를 이용하여 쌀을 압출성형시켜 팽화 쌀 스넥으로 사용할 수 있는 extrudate를 제조하려고 시도하였다. 찹쌀가루를 원료로 하여 extrusion cooker의 screw speed를 200-360rpm으로 증가시키면, extrudate의 air cells 조직이 균일하게 개선되었으며, 원료의 수분함량은 적어도 17.5% 이하로 유지하는 것이 조직에 좋은 영향을 주었다. 찹쌀과 멥쌀의 powder와 grits를 원료로 사용했을 경우, extrudate의 객관적 및 관능적 텍스쳐는 powder가 grits보다 우수하였으며, 찹쌀과 멥쌀간의 차이는 현저하지 않았다. 그리고 extrudate를 기름에 튀기면 텍스쳐가 향상됨을 볼 수 있었다.

최근 친환경 소재, 특히 부산물을 활용한 연구가 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비료 제조 시 발생하는 공정 부산물인 석고(CaSO₄)를 고밀도 폴리에틸렌(High density polyethylene, HDPE)에 충전한 복합재료의 물성을 조사하였다. Co-rotating twin screw extruder를 이용하여 석고의 함량을 0~20 wt% 충전하여 복합재료를 제조하고 이의 기계적, 유변학적, 열적 특성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 인장강도는 미충전 HDPE 대비 4.1% 이하로 물성 저하가 크지 않다. 석고의 함량이 증가할수록 열적 안정성이 향상되었고 석고의 함량이 복합재료의 점도 특성에 거의 영향을 끼치지 않는 것을 확인하였다.
