Abstract
ABSTRACTA new laboratory‐scale mixing device called the “Vane Mixer” was designed, built, and tested. The vane mixer consists of three vane plasticizing and conveying unit. In comparison with the existing laboratory mixers, material flow in this vane mixer is characterized by a high contribution from extensional flow. As the mixer has mixing chamber of very simple geometry, the cleaning is very easy and the material lost is very small. The influences of mixing time and rotor speed on dispersed phase size were characterized and discussed. Morphology data on model immiscible polystyrene/high density polyethylene (PS/HDPE) blend have proved the high distributive and dispersive mixing efficiency. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.
