Abstract
The objective of this book is to summarize the principles of screw extrusion processes for plastics and rubbers, the practical performance and its theoretical explanation, and operating procedures to exploit this performance. Unlike design, the latter are not well covered in existing literature. This book aims to make an original contribution to effective practical operation and so does not attempt comprehensively to review the literature, but only to refer to those works which contribute to an understanding of operation.
