Numerical simulations reveals the physical mechanism for the onset of the sharkskin instability in polymer extrusion process
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this paper, we have studied polymer extrusion, an important process in plastics manufacturing. Often the final material\u2019s surface is rough with semi regular grooves resembling the skin of a shark. This phenomenon, known as sharkskin instability, has intrigued the scientific and industrial communities for over 60 years. We have reported the results of a simple physical model which explains the underlying mechanism that causes the sharkskin instability. We simulated the flow of polymer melts being squeezed through a slit and observed that the stretched polymer chains are stretched toward the exit, then recoiled as they moved further away, causing a swell and forming waves. These waves became the familiar sharkskin grooves on the surface of the melt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
