A single screw extruder equipped with a novel elongational mixer made films comparing a 24/1 single
screw extruder with a Union Carbide mixer and a Double Wave mixer. Materials processed include olefins with
elastomer, polypropylene with color concentrates, flexible vinyl, and wood flour with LDPE. The study shows the
effects of elongational stress on mixing and melting performance.
