Description

Reactive extrusion is no longer a niche modification technique; it has become a core platform for polymer functionalization, compatibilization, and molecular architecture control under continuous processing conditions. This training focuses on the formulation and process decisions required to manage reaction kinetics, mixing efficiency, residence time distribution, and thermal stability inside twin-screw systems. The session examines how reactions such as chain extension, grafting, branching, and reactive blending behave under shear-driven environments, and why laboratory chemistry often fails when translated to extrusion. Focus is given to the interaction between melt rheology, torque limits, devolatilization, and conversion efficiency, highlighting the operational constraints that define successful reactive extrusion. Participants will learn how to design reactive systems that balance conversion, molecular weight control, and process stability, while avoiding common failure modes such as gel formation, degradation, poor dispersion, or inconsistent product properties. The training also addresses scale-up risks, material variability, and production robustness, enabling formulators to align reaction chemistry with real manufacturing windows. The focus throughout is on decision-grade formulation strategies that convert reactive extrusion from an experimental tool into a reliable production technology.

Why you should not miss the training?

Reactive extrusion is a crucial process in polymer formulation, offering significant potential for creating new materials with tailored properties. The training will provide a comprehensive understanding of reactive extrusion for;

1. Control reaction kinetics within real residence time constraints: Understand how screw design, temperature, and feeding strategy affect conversion.

2. Prevent degradation, gel formation, and torque overload failures: Learn to balance reactivity, viscosity growth, and thermal stability.

3. Translate lab reactions into stable production processes: Identify scale-up risks linked to mixing limits and material variability.

4. Design compatibilization and functionalization systems that actually disperse: Optimize reactive blending for morphology control and performance consistency.

5. Align chemistry decisions with throughput, devolatilization, and product uniformity: Formulate for manufacturability, not just reaction efficiency.

Who should attend this training?

This is one of those technical trainings which is highly recommended for chemical industry professionals including: 

        - R&D chemist, formulators, chemical engineers
        - Product developers, technicians, lab managers
        - Polymer extrusion specialist and professionals in related areas
