Mixing during melt-melt blending of segregated polypropylene melt streams in a co-rotating twin screw extruder was experimentally investigated. The mixing limited reaction between two polymer reactive tracers, which are terminally functionalized polyolefin oligomers, was used to determine the mixing performance of a kneading block section. The selected functional groups were succinic anhydride and a primary amine, and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectrometry F-IR) was used to determine the anhydride conversion. In the absence of interfacial tension, the reaction conversion was directly related to the amount of interfacial area generated. Experiments were completed to study the effects of operating conditions, kneading block design, and polymer material properties. The screw speed effect was observed to be non-linear because of competing contributions from shear rate, residence time, channel fill, and viscous heating. The mixing performance of kneading blocks backed by a reverse conveying element was observed to follow the trend of: forward > reverse > neutral. For each kneading block design, the mixing performance decreased with an increase in polymer viscosity.
