Abstract
The present invention is directed to methods for processing absorbable, slow-to-crystallize poly(p-dioxanone) ground resin and its fines utilizing a twin-screw extruder apparatus to produce uniform pellets. Advantageously, the ground resin materials resulting from solid-state polymerization do not undergo processing, such as sieving, to remove fines from the feedstock for an extrusion and pelletizing system that has been configured with an inverted temperature profile along the extrusion barrel. The resulting PDS pellets have improved resin uniformity and greater polymer yield for improved operational efficiencies and production of extruded filaments.
