Abstract
The analysis of polymer processing operations requires the description of simultaneous transient momentum and heat transfer down to material solidification. The aim of the analysis is to improve and, hopefully, optimize the final properties that are determined by the final morphology of the part. In this special issue, consisting of 1 review and 11 research articles detailing several polymer processing operations, experimental and numerical analyses have been conducted in order to identify and describe the main relevant phenomena, that affect the product morphologies and properties.
Highlights
During the transformation of polymeric materials into final usable objects, the polymers undergo very complex histories of deformation and temperature distributions
In this special issue, consisting of 1 review and 11 research articles detailing several polymer processing operations, experimental and numerical analyses have been conducted in order to identify and describe the main relevant phenomena, that affect the product morphologies and properties
On the basis of these considerations the objective of this special issue was the collection of progress or reviews clarifying relationships among processing conditions, as well as the resulting morphology and properties of the final objects
Summary
In this special issue, consisting of 1 review and 11 research articles detailing several polymer processing operations, experimental and numerical analyses have been conducted in order to identify and describe the main relevant phenomena, that affect the product morphologies and properties. During the transformation of polymeric materials into final usable objects, the polymers (usually viscoelastic fluids) undergo very complex histories of deformation and temperature distributions.
