The invention presented in this document relates to processes for the preparation of a formulation containing poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and aliphatic and/or aromatic polyesters which plasticize it, and its use in monofilaments and films. The presence of polyesters does not remove the biodegradability and composting characteristics of the raw materials used in the formulation. The invention also concerns products that use the formulation.

Provided are a pellet including a thermoplastic resin and cellulose nanofibers that enables the production of a molded body which has a good appearance in which yellowing is suppressed, and a method for producing a molded body using the same. According to one aspect, there is provided a pellet including a thermoplastic resin and cellulose nanofibers, wherein the number of pore-containing pellets per 100 pellets is 10 or less. Further, according to another aspect, there is provided a method for producing a molded body, which includes a step of preparing the pellets, and a step of injection molding the pellets in a mold to obtain a molded body.

The present invention relates to the technical field of polymer material preparation, and discloses a polymer material for toys and a preparation equipment thereof, whereby the preparation equipment of the polymer material for toys includes an open mixer main body and a twisting mechanism mounted on the open mixer main body, and the twisting mechanism includes: a fixed ring, wherein the fixed ring is fixedly installed on the top of the open mixer main body, and a mounting flange is rotatably sleeved inside the fixed ring; a rotating gear ring, wherein the rotating gear ring is fixed with the mounting flange, and a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft are rotatably installed inside the rotating gear ring. Through the rotation of the rotating gear ring, the preparation equipment of the polymer material for toys enables the molten mixture located between a first twisting roller and a second twisting roller to be twisted and kneaded together, facilitating the uniform mixing of the mixture. This process is easy to operate and reduces labor costs.

The present disclosure concerns effervescent compositions and methods of making and using the same. In some embodiments, the disclosed effervescent compositions are formed from an input blend comprising an acid and a base by granulating the input blend in a twin-screw processor. The granules formed from the input blend can be formed by an in situ granulating agent, which can be a portion of the acid that melts during granulation. In some embodiments, the effervescent compositions can be made using a twin-screw processor comprising an intake zone for receiving an input blend comprising an acid and a base; a granulation initiation zone for melting only a portion of the acid to serve as an in situ granulating agent; a granulation completion zone for granulating the input blend; and an outlet for discharging the granules.

The first and second axes are apart from, and parallel to, one another. The die assembly (5) includes (iv) an extrudate passage (42) fluidly connecting the inlet (30) and the discharge port (45). A third axis of symmetry (C) extends through the extrudate passage (42). The die assembly (5) includes (v) a nozzle (100) mounted in the die plate (10), the nozzle (100) having an injection tip (110) in the extrudate passage (42) at the discharge port (45); and (vi) the third axis of symmetry (C) intersects the first axis of symmetry (A) to form an acute angle.

A biaxially oriented polyester film having the following physical property is provided: when cooled from the molten state at a cooling rate of 20° C/min, an observed recrystallization temperature is 175° C-200° C. The biaxially oriented polyester film is formed by a thick sheet before bidirectional stretching that is melted and extruded by an extruder and then cooled and formed on a casting roll. The thick sheet before stretching having the following physical property as analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry: a crystallization rate is less than 10%.

A method of extruding a melt of a linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) without surface melt fracture, the method comprises heating a melt of the LLDPE to a temperature from 190.0 to 260.0 degrees Celsius; and extruding through a die the heated melt at a shear rate of from 1,100 to 7,000 per second and at a shear stress of greater than 0.40 megapascal, thereby forming a polyethylene extrudate without surface melt fracture.
