Abstract
This paper presents a theoretical study to model the formation and rem elting of a solid polymer layer that is formed due to the introduction of a continuous surface (here a wire) into a polymer melt bath positi oned ahead of a plasto-hydrodynamic unit prior to drawing or coating. The model gives the temperature profile for the wire and the temperatu re gradient boundary layer thickness, which is a combination of differ ent phases. Also, the influence of pre-heating of the wire is given on the rate at which the solid polymer melts. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
