Overview
This work introduces the fundamental background necessary to understand polymer devolatilization. It elucidates the actual mechanisms by which the devolatilization of polymer melts progresses, and discusses virtually every type of devolatilization equipment available. The work also addresses devolatilization in various geometries and types of equipment, describing the use of falling strand, slit, single-screw, co-rotating and counter-rotating twin-screw devolatilization.

Introduces the fundamental background necessary to understand devolatization, which is an industrial process of ridding a polymer system of low-molecular-weight components such as unreacted monomer, water, and various polymerization by- products. Discusses the thermodynamic aspects, solvent diffusion, bubble nucleation and growth, single-screw and twin-screw devolatization, polyvinyl chloride, the analysis of volatiles, the future of solvents in the manufacture of polymers, and other topics. Also includes abstracts of about 60 papers on the subject published over the past decade. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
