Abstract
A method for the production of a glassy metal polymer composite is disclosed. The method comprises adding a polymer and a metal to an extruder, wherein the extruder is heated to an extrusion temperature greater than the melting point of the polymer and the melting point of the metal; mixing the metal and the polymer in the extruder for a predefined residence time; and co-extruding the composite from the extruder.
Claims11
A method for the production of a glassy-metal polymer composite comprising the steps of:
- adding a polymer and a metal in a crystalline form to an extruder having an extruder barrel, wherein the extruder is heated to an extrusion temperature greater than the melting point of the polymer and the melting point of the metal;
- mixing the metal and the polymer in the extruder for a predefined residence time;
- and
- co-extruding a glassy-metal polymer composite from the extruder, wherein the metallic material in co-extruded glassy-metal polymer composite is in a non-crystalline amorphous form;
- wherein the metal is fed into the extruder barrel after the polymer at a gradual pace of five to fifteen seconds between each feed of the metal.
