Presentación

Reactive extrusion is a very versatile technology that allows polymerisation reactions and polymer modification to be carried out using an extruder, usually a corotating twin-screw extruder, which is normally used to obtain compounded materials.

In reactive extrusion, the extruder is used as a horizontal chemical reactor, in which properties of polymers and polymer compounds can be synthesised, modified and improved. For example: to give adhesion to different substrates, to make polymer blends compatible with fillers or fibres, to perform cross-linking reactions or controlled degradation of polymers, etc.

This course will review the reactive extrusion process, and the advantages of its application in the plastics industry, mainly in the synthesis and modification of polymers.
