  • PROCESSABLE POLYMERS AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING
    Publication number: 20180333897
    Abstract: Methods of transforming an ultra-high molecular weight polymer into a processable material and compositions resulting from those methods. The methods may include a combination of applying a shear force to a polymer and heating the polymer. Also described are methods for using the compositions.
    Type: Application

  • Methods for increasing throughput rates of solid-state extrusion devices
    Patent number: 9296882
    Abstract: A method for improving the throughput of solid-state shear pulverization and solid-state melt-extrusion devices may include the addition of a heat absorbing material with a mixture of polymeric materials in an extruder. The extruder may include one or more extrusion screws. One or more portions of the one or more extrusion screws, one or more barrel sections, and/or one or more extruder work zones may be temperature controlled to maintain a temperature of the polymeric mixture in contact therewith at or below the liquefication temperature of the polymeric materials. The liquefication temperature may be a melting point of a semi-crystalline polymer or a glass transition temperature of an amorphous polymer.
