Study on the Composite Spinning Co-Extrusion Process of the Tri-Component

Abstract:

In the molding process of the tri-component composite spinning, the flow control of each component plays a significant impact on extrusion swell. This paper simulates the extrusion swell of the tri-component fiber in different flow ratio of different components based on Polyflow fluid dynamics simulation software, and measures the extrusion swell ratio of the tri-component fiber in different flow ratio of different components through the experiment. Simulation and experimental results show that by adjusting the melt flow ratio of the various components, we can obtain the desired extrusion swell ratio, which can improve the performance of the tri-component fiber.
