Simulating industrial polymer processing on a laboratory scale, relevant process parameters such as temperature, pressure and screw speed are measured and help to understand and optimize the respective system.<\/p>\n<p>Laboratory mixers are used in the lab for testing and material characterization.\u00a0 Typical applications include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Testing the melting and degradation behavior of polymer melts<\/li>\n<li>Quantifying viscosity when adding nano particles or other additives<\/li>\n<li>Testing gelation and plastification behavior of PVC dry-blends<\/li>\n<li>Measuring the flow and curing behavior of thermo setting plastics<\/li>\n<li>Characterizing the influence of different additives such as carbon black, fillers lubricants, accelerators and sulfur for rubber mixtures<\/li>\n<li>Measuring the stable torque in regard to individual and combined influences of fillers and additives such as stabilizers, lubricants and color pigments<\/li>\n<li>Testing polymer mixtures of high performance plastics to check processability<\/li>\n<li>Performing electric conductivity measurements for rubber mixtures<\/li>\n<li>Recording the vulcanizing behavior of elastomers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A typical mixer test is run at a defined rotor speed (shear rate). The material\u2019s response to the shear is recorded as torque and displayed versus time. A material\u2019s properties are very sensitive to temperature and to get the best results should be separated into different sections in a mixer chamber. These are individual temperature-controlled by the rheometer system. The recorded \u201cRheogram\u201d (torque and melt temperature vs. time at constant speed) is characteristic for different material types and blends. The mixer test is used as a fingerprint in quality control for outgoing and incoming product inspections.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve created a 25-minute webinar that covers the structure and applications for torque rheometers and measuring mixers, including measuring mixers for routine monitoring and production of small sample batches. Anyone involved with quality assurance, development and testing of polymer compounds and rubber mixtures as well as their processing will learn how to interpret measuring curves in terms of gelatinization and plastification behavior.\u00a0 In addition, we will discuss vulcanization and curing times, network behavior, thermal stability testing, absorption capacity, processing characteristics, and processability.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><em>Click here to watch the Webinar:\u00a0 <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/665001591001\/default_default\/index.html?videoId=5100690062001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Mixer Test \u2013 A Versatile Tool for Polymer Processing<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/blog\/materials\/webinar-downstream-options-for-extrusion\/\">Here are links to the full series:<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/665001591001\/default_default\/index.html?videoId=5192397281001\"><em>Extrusion Rheology \u2013 Usage of the Torque Rheometer<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/665001591001\/default_default\/index.html?videoId=5192350576001\"><em>Twin Screw Compounding \u2013 Introduction and Scale-Up<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/665001591001\/default_default\/index.html?videoId=5100786165001\"><em>Downstream Options for Extrusion<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/665001591001\/default_default\/index.html?videoId=5100690062001\"><em>Mixer Test \u2013 A Versatile Tool for Polymer Processing<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/665001591001\/default_default\/index.html?videoId=5103326805001\"><em>MIM\/PIM Application &#8211; Mixer, Compounding, Rheology<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor\u2019s Note:\u00a0 This is the fourth of a five-part webinar series on general extruders and mixers for characterizing and formulating your polymer materials using rheology, viscometry, mixing and extrusion technologies.
