Figure 8.11Example of turbo mixer, developed by Valenteet al. (University of Rome, La Sapienza)
[ref. 51] to optimize and analyse the effect of compatibilizing agent in natural fibre–polymer
composites. The turbo mixer works through kinetic energy developed by rotating blades as only heat
source. Valenteet al. 2016 [52]. Reproduced with permission of Elsevier.
