Abstract: The invention refers to a method for producing expanded polymer pellets, which comprises the following steps: melting a polymer comprising a polyamide; adding at least one blowing agent; expanding the melt through at least one die for producing an expanded polymer; and pelletizing the expanded polymer. The invention further concerns polymer pellets produced with the method as well as their use, e.g. for the production of cushioning elements for sports apparel, such as for producing soles or parts of soles of sports shoes. A further aspect of the invention concerns a method for the manufacture of molded components, comprising loading pellets of an expanded polymer material into a mold, and connecting the pellets by providing heat energy, wherein the expanded polymer material of the pellets or beads comprises a chain extender. The molded components may be used in broad ranges of application.

Abstract: Waste plastic can be converted into rock for decorative and utilitarian applications. A combination of sand and waste plastic is added into a tumbling chamber, and the tumbling chamber is rotated. The combination of sand and waste plastic is heated while rotating the tumbling chamber to form conglomerates. When a desired size of the conglomerates is achieved, the heating is stopped. Dry cement is then added to the tumbling chamber while continuing to rotate the tumbling chamber.

Abstract: A method and a device for the production of polyamide 6 pellets wherein an intermediate drying is not necessary and a combined pelletizing and extraction take place. Depending on the intended use, the pellets may directly be used or subjected to further treatment steps. A device for the production of polyamide 6 pellets includes a melt device for providing a melt of polyamide 6, an underwater pelletizing system which is operable under increased pressure, and a vertical vessel having a cylindrical section and a tapered bottom section. The tapered bottom section is provided with a cooling device and is connected to a pipe comprising a screw and/or a rotary gate valve for conveying pellets. The device includes a circuit for circulating an aqueous solution of ε caprolactam through the underwater pelletizing system and the vertical vessel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method in which a starting material for injection-molding, having a viscosity of between 0.50 and 0.7 dL/g, is produced with the aid of a chain breaker from a recycled post-consumer PET having a viscosity of between 0.72 and 0.86 dL/g according to ASTM D4603 and a copolymer fraction of at most approximately 3%. In the method, the comminuted and dried PET material is melted and decontaminated to such a degree that it is suitable for applications in the food sector and the consumer goods sector. A chain breaker is added to the rPET material in the melt of the recycling extruder and/or preferably the melt of the injection unit in order to lower the viscosity and to enrich the PET with copolymers.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to systems and methods for manufacturing a master batch with a graphitic material dispersed in a polymer matrix. In some embodiments, a method for manufacturing the master batch can include combining the graphitic material with a polymer, adding a supercritical fluid to the mixture, and depressurizing the supercritical fluid to remove the supercritical fluid. In some embodiments, the method includes mixing the graphitic material and the polymer for a first time period to form a first mixture and transferring the supercritical fluid to the first mixture to form a second mixture. In some embodiments, the method includes mixing the second mixture for a second time period and depressurizing the second mixture to allow the supercritical fluid to transition to a gas phase.
