Diameter prediction and optimization of hot extrusion-synthesized polypropylene filament using statistical and soft computing techniques

In this study, statistical and soft computing techniques were developed to investigate effect of process parameters on diameter of extruded filament made of polypropylene in hot extrusion. A multi-factors experiment was designed with process parameters of screw speed, roller speed and die temperatur...
