Reactive extrusion offers several advantages over traditional batch processing methods:
Continuous Process: It allows for continuous production, which can be scaled up more easily compared to batch processes. Enhanced Mixing: The mechanical action of the screws ensures thorough mixing of reactants and catalysts, leading to more uniform reactions. Energy Efficiency: The process is highly energy-efficient due to the simultaneous application of heat and mechanical force. Versatility: It can handle a wide variety of reactions, such as polymerization, grafting, and cross-linking.
