<p>Controlling viscosity of molten polymers, such as polycarbonate, prior to a molding operation such as injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming or blow molding, involves a reduction of viscosity in the plastic melt at constant temperature, by the action of a vigorous mechanical extensional shear vibration, with minimum or no external pressure, at a constant amplitude and frequency, causing the melt to become highly elastic and simultaneously fatigued for a certain time at that temperature, maintaining this high elastic state until the macromolecules have partially or totally disentangled, in a controllable manner, at which stage the melt is ready for a molding operation such as a simple quenching operation or an extrusion process followed by quenching to produce pellets or compounds with a better mix or a lower viscosity when remelted, or an injection molding operation where the melt viscosity has been greatly reduced allowing a better processability of the injected part.</p> |
