From 26 to 29 September 2021, plastics engineers from all over the world presented their current projects and research results at the PPS-36 (36th International Conference of the Polymer Processing Society) in Montréal, Canada. Due to the ongoing worldwide travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference was held as a hybrid event. For Kunststofftechnik Paderborn (KTP), the scientific staff members Jonas Köllermeier and Franziska Bürenhaus were on site and gave technical presentations on the following topics:
- Development of a Dynamic Strategy to Determine the Optimal Barrel Temperature of Single Screw Extruders (Jonas Köllermeier)
- Investigation of Fiber Orientation and its Influence on Fiber Length Degradation in Simple Shear Flow for Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene (Franziska Bürenhaus)
- Influence of Fiber Geometry and Sizing on Glass Fiber Breakage (Franziska Bürenhaus)
