Popis: A novel technique employing shear stress sensitive microcapsules (MC) was utilized to investigate the shear stresses that were experienced by a single polymer and the components of a polymer blend during melting, in both a lab scale single screw extruder (SSE) and internal batch mixer. It was found that the MC could sense differing melting environments when process variables such as temperature and shear rate, as well as blend constituents were manipulated.
