RTD and SME, Associations are sought to a COLLECTIVE research project
entitled: ""Innovative Polymer Flow Visualisation for Optimised Machine
Design, Improved Mixing and Material Properties, Processing Efficiency
and Energy Reductions".

The project will investigate the application of an innovative polymer
flow visualisation technique (Positron Emission Particle Tracking) for
optimised machine design, improved mixing, process efficiency and energy
reductions.


This research project will therefore enable significant benefits to
companies throughout the polymer industry, including: Machine/ Equipment
Manufacturers; Software Modelling, Simulation and Visualisation; and
Commercial Polymer Blending / Compounding / Mixing / and Processing.
¬
The project outputs will include:

- Experiment equipment for PEPT investigations of polymer mixing and
processing.
- Quantitative and qualitative knowledge relating to polymer flow and
additive dispersion / distribution within polymer mixing / processing
equipment (e.g. twin screw extrusion)
- Machine and Equipment Design Criteria / Guidance.
- Simulation / Modelling and Visualisation Software.
- Demonstration and evaluation of the project results in real industrial
processes (optimised machine design, improved mixing and material
properties, processing efficiency and energy reductions) .
- To disseminate and exploit the project results to the wider European
polymer industry and to ensure effective technology transfer and training.
