Characterization of the Fluidity of the Ultrasonic Plasticized Polymer Melt by Spiral Flow Testing under Micro-Scale

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The manuscript “Characterisation of the fluidity o the ultrasonic plasticized polymer melt by spiral flow testing under microscale” by Bingyan Jiang et. al., is an interesting paper where the authors investigate The fluidity of the molten polymer plasticized by ultrasonic vibration using an Archimede spiral mold.

The manuscript is well written and well-articulated, and the single factor analysis approach was used for determining the role of the process parameters.

I recommend the article to be published after minor revisions:

Title: line 2 “ultrasonic”

Line 34: “have report”

Line 67: “an reference”

Iine 71: “there are overall three kinds of material was used …”

Reviewer 2 Report

I have only one comment. I didn't found the channel width of the spiral. It is also the important data for understanding of the cavity filling proces. Please add that information.
