Thermal Degradation of the Thermoplastic Elastomers during the Injection Moulding Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

The thermal degradation of the thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) during the injection moulding process – depending on the melt temperature and residence time of the processed material within the barrel of the injection unit, was studied on the basis of oxidation induction time evaluation (isothermal OIT) of the moulded parts (according to ISO 11357-6) and their physical and mechanical properties, according to ISO 1183-1, ISO 37 and ISO 7619-1. TPEs with different chemical compositions intended for automotive, industrial and medical applications were analysed during the study of the thermal degradation process.
