Ongoing project

Developing an open-source equipment called Melt Flow Indexer(MFI). This equipment is a measurement tool that can measure the melt flow rate (MFR) of materials, with this data we can the viscosity feature of this particular polymer.

Therefore, MFI is a critical tool in polymer manufacturing industry. With the same time, it can also be used in polymer material recycling area. With a low-cost, easy-access tool, the efficiency can be improved.
