- Additional information
- This paper develops a new technique to process recycled polymers with an automatic ultrasound modulation and temperature control system. This development will enable the extrusion processing of mixed MFI HDPE polymers to perform as consistently as virgin polymers during processing, thus allowing them to be used more widely in place of virgin polymers.
