  • Patent number: 9199393
    Abstract: A high-shear melt-kneader includes a high-shear unit (20) having an internal feedback-type screw (23) configured to apply high-shear stress to a melted resin, resin pressure sensors (33) for configured to detect a front portion resin pressure in the vicinity of an inlet of the internal feedback-type screw and a rear portion resin pressure in the vicinity of an outlet, and a control device configured to appropriately control a material supplying amount, a material temperature, a kneading time, and a screw rotation speed according to pressure values detected by the sensors. The control device controls the conditions such that waveforms with the lapse of time of the front and rear portion resin pressures are similar to each other and show variation to a steady state after formation of a predetermined peak value, and the front and rear portion resin pressures form a predetermined pressure difference with the lapse of time.
