Study on Injection Molding of Single Polymer Composites

Abstract:

This article gives an overview of study on injection molding process of thermoplastic polymer SPCs. The thermoplastic polymer Polypropylene (PP) was selected as the experimental materials. Our study proves that advantages of the PP SPCs are friendly recyclability and excellent fire/matrix adhesion. PP SPCs samples had good interfacial compatibility and bonding properties. The one-component SPCs have better interfacial bonding than the multi-component SPCs. Injection molding is the most effective method with a large process window and short cycle time for processing a thermoplastic SPC. Injection molding could be developed to realize PP SPCs production.
