Abstract
Injection molding is widely used in the plastics manufacturing industry. However, there is a need to better understand and calculate the bonding strength between the injection-molded part and the insert, especially for semi-crystalline polymers. The weldability of semi-crystalline polymers differs from that of amorphous polymers. Semi-crystalline polymers cannot heal until they reach their glass transition temperature, unlike amorphous polymers, as the crystalline particles prevent molecule motion below this temperature. To account for this difference, we have developed a method that takes into effect the crystalline parts of semi-crystalline polymers in the calculation of healing. We used polypropylene (PP) in our experiments, and calculated healing with a new method based on the method we previously described for the healing of amorphous polymers.
期刊介绍:
Polymer Testing focuses on the testing, analysis and characterization of polymer materials, including both synthetic and natural or biobased polymers. Novel testing methods and the testing of novel polymeric materials in bulk, solution and dispersion is covered. In addition, we welcome the submission of the testing of polymeric materials for a wide range of applications and industrial products as well as nanoscale characterization.
The scope includes but is not limited to the following main topics:
Novel testing methods and Chemical analysis
• mechanical, thermal, electrical, chemical, imaging, spectroscopy, scattering and rheology
Physical properties and behaviour of novel polymer systems
• nanoscale properties, morphology, transport properties
Degradation and recycling of polymeric materials when combined with novel testing or characterization methods
• degradation, biodegradation, ageing and fire retardancy
Modelling and Simulation work will be only considered when it is linked to new or previously published experimental results.
