Mini-extruder for compounding of nanoparticles

Company/Organization: Material Processing & Research, Inc.


Abstract:

Material Processing & Research, Inc. (Hackensack, NJ) in partnership with US Army Picatinny TACOM has manufactured the smallest twin screw extruder for the processing of nanoparticles. This fully-functional twin screw extruder can process at rates which are as low as 10 g/hour to generate samples, which are mixed, deaerated, pressurized, shaped into various geometries. The extruder offers unparalleled capabilities in testing of concepts with limited nanoparticles sizes.
