Abstract
Polymer structuring is a valuable cost- and time-saving strategy for the production of high-performance polymer-based materials. The main issue in the spreading of this approach lies in the understanding of the relationships between the processing parameters, the microstructure and the resulting properties, which represent fundamental factors in the actual defining of the final characteristics owing to the production method employed. The aim of the present work is to provide a wide overview of the currently available knowledge on solvent-free approaches for obtaining structured materials, specifically focusing on extrusion- and injection molding-based technologies, given their relevance as the most industrially exploited methods for the melt processing of thermoplastic materials. Additionally, particular attention will be paid to the relationships between the variation in the processing parameters and the resulting flow fields (both shear and elongational), considering their role in the definition of microstructure.
期刊介绍：
Polymers (ISSN 2073-4360) is an international, open access journal of polymer science. It publishes research papers, short communications and review papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Polymers provides an interdisciplinary forum for publishing papers which advance the fields of (i) polymerization methods, (ii) theory, simulation, and modeling, (iii) understanding of new physical phenomena, (iv) advances in characterization techniques, and (v) harnessing of self-assembly and biological strategies for producing complex multifunctional structures.
