Modelling for Optimisation and Scale-up of the Multilayer Blown Film Process

多层吹膜塑料薄膜在澳大利亚和东南亚的食品和包装工业中发挥着重要作用。本项目旨在根据使用有限数量聚合物的中试规模研究的实验数据，预测大规模生产线的聚合物薄膜性能。该项目将研究用于多层薄膜的聚合物树脂和混合物的基本流变学，并使用吹膜模型将其与中试和工业规模的操作参数相关联。两种规模模型之间的相互关系将减少试验和错误，并将优化生产成本。

Multilayered blown film plastic films play an important role in the food and packaging industry in Australia and SE Asia. This project aims to predict the polymer film properties for a large scale line based on experimental data from the pilot scale studies using limited quantities of polymer. This project will investigate the fundamental rheology of polymer resins and blends used for multilayered films and correlate these to the operating parameters in pilot and industrial scales using blown-film models. The interrelationship between the models in two scales will result in reducing trial and error and will optimise production costs.
