Cryogenic milling for polymers or materials with enhanced elastic properties
Cryogenic milling is a specific setting to mill Polymers or any other substance with an enhanced elastic property. The process setting brings the temperature of the product and the temperature inside the mill below -30 to -150°C, allowing the product to get below its glass transition temperature and increase its fragility to mechanical impact.
Cryogenic milling can also reduce the temperature of the carrier gas (usually nitrogen) to prevent temperature increases caused by friction during milling. This technique is beneficial for milling powders with low melting points or temperature-sensitive products.
