Abstract: Calcium carbonate-filled polypropylene (PP) and ABS were measured with ultrasonic systems and found that ultrasonic velocity decreased with increasing concentration of calcium carbonate. Based on the fluctuation of ultrasonic velocity at the injector nozzle and mechanical properties, the in-line ultrasonic monitoring was found able to evaluate the mixing capacity of the screw.
