PROCESS : Implementation and formatting processes
This technical centre, spread over the three sites of the IMP, offers different technologies for implementing and shaping molten polymers.
Equipment for preparation and shaping
- Reactive extrusion and compounding at different scales
- Shaping of characterisation specimens
Examples of studies include
Reactive extrusion
Extrusion of supercritical CO2 foaming
Scale up: twin-screw extrusion
Mini-extruder
