Microcellular injection molded lightweight, strong and thermally insulating PP/fibrillated-PTFE composite foams with enhanced surface appearance

Aimin Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, a method for fabricating ultra-lightweight, high strength, surface quality, and thermal insulation polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) microfibrils reinforced polypropylene (PP) foams using mold opening microcellular injection molding (MOMIM) was reported. Different morphology PP/PTFE composites were prepared by melt blending, and their crystallization behavior and rheological properties were investigated. The results showed that fibrillated PTFE accelerated crystallization, refined crystals, and enhanced viscoelasticity of PP. The PP/fibrillated-PTFE foams exhibited improved mechanical properties and thermal insulation compared to pristine PP foams, and MOMIM-fabricated parts had better surface quality than MIM-fabricated ones.

Effects of pressure drop rate and CO2content on the foaming behavior of newly developed high-melt-strength polypropylene in continuous extrusion

Eric Kim et al.

Summary: Systematic studies were conducted on the foamability of a novel high-melt-strength long-chain branched polypropylene under supercritical CO2. The foam expansion was controlled by adjusting the temperature at the die exit, and the results showed that the expansion ratio was influenced by both the amount of CO2 and the die temperature. Additionally, the cell density was found to be dependent on the pressure drop rate and the dissolved CO2 amount, with the latter showing a more noticeable effect at lower pressure drop rates.

In situ visualization of crystal nucleation and growth behaviors of linear and long chain branched polypropylene under shear and CO2 pressure

Sandra Romero-Diez et al.

Summary: This study investigated the crystallization behaviors of two different high-melt-strength polypropylene resins using a novel high-pressure visualization system, and found that crystal growth rates and nucleation densities increase with higher applied shear stress but reach an optimum value with increasing CO2 pressure. By selectively choosing processing conditions, observable critical size nuclei can be enhanced and CO2 exclusion from crystal growth front can be achieved, allowing for easy control over overall crystallization kinetics through induced-shear stress and pressurized CO2.

Adaptive process control of the changeover point for injection molding process

Yi-Sheng Chen et al.

Summary: An intelligent injection part weight stability control system was developed to eliminate variability in the quality of injected parts by adjusting the changeover position based on a viscosity index. Experiments were conducted to validate the efficacy of the system by characterizing the relationship between viscosity index and injection-molded samples. The system can also operate in self-adjusting mode based on variations in viscosity index and weight of parts.
