← ScienceWhich risk increases when injection speed is too high in polymer extrusion?
A)Melt fracture produces surface irregularities✓
B)Viscosity decreases due to shear thinning
C)Polymer chains crystallize excessively
D)Gas bubbles become trapped throughout
💡 Explanation
Melt fracture creates surface defects on extruded polymers because increased speed exceeds the resin's critical shear rate, causing turbulent flow. Therefore, surface irregularities increase rather than uniform flow because of elastic turbulence effects.
