Effect of Injection Molding Process on Electrical Conductivity and Mechanical Property of Nanoparticle Filled Polymer Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

Authors investigated the relationship among processing parameters, microstructures, electrical conductivity and mechanical property of injection molded nanoparticle filled polymer composites at present study. Standard tensile specimens were injected under different injecting pressures and packing pressures. The molded specimens were removing five layers from the surface to observe the microstructures at different positions of the moldings. The electrical properties were measured with a two-terminal standard resistor under DC condition at room temperature, and the mechanical properties of the moldings were measured by INSTRON 5580 Universal testing machine. The results showed that filled nanoparticles may form the best conductive path under the higher packing pressure matched with higher injection pressure. The mechanical properties of the molding depend on not only the concentration of the nanofiller, but processing conditions as well.
