A comprehensive study looking at both distributive and dispersive mixing for a new screw design was done on a single screw extruder. The findings showed an improvement in mixing performance with this new style barrier screw over a conventional barrier screw design. Mixing performance was evaluated by means of microscopic analysis. To better quantify mixing three different systems will be studied; distribution of a pigment, distribution of an inorganic filler, and dispersion of a minor component in an immiscible blend.
