Conducting Composites

The investigations in this study focused on the characteristic of feedstock in an effort to understand the mechanism of injection molded in composite material. A composite, which has 75% wt. filler, consist of graphite (G), carbon black (CB) and polypropylene copolymer (PP). Twin-screw co-rotating extruder used for mixing materials. The conductivity of the molded parts measured using a four-point probe test procedure. The results showed that the injection molding conducting composites, which aggregated into larger clusters, tended to disperse unevenly into the PP, resulting in fewer particle-particle contacts and, consequently, a lower-conductivity composite in some part of the molded.

Thin Disks

Two types of injection molded parts including parts with thin shell feature and parts molded with radial flow pattern are highly susceptible to the warpage. In this research, the warpage performance of a thin and centrally-gated disk was experimentally investigated. The melt pressure-time traces of two different locations inside the mold cavity were monitored by employing piezoelectric transducers. The results indicated that the pressure difference magnitude of melt at two locations along the radial flow path is related to the extent of molded part deformation. Moreover, it was pointed out that the high magnitude of warpage is because of two conflicting actions in the molded part comprising expansion as a result of viscoelastic recovery in the central region, and thermal contraction in the edge region of the thin disk. The molding variables encompassing injection speed, holding pressure, back pressure, mold temperature and screw rotational speed affected the thin disks deformation in order of significance.

The Relationship

A critical need in the fundamental understanding of reinforcement in filled polymers is the characterization of the polymer-filler interface and the dynamics of the polymer in this interfacial regime. In carbon black filled polymers, one of the central themes in the mechanism of reinforcement is that of “bound” polymer. Understanding the dynamics of this bound polymer may be key to arriving at an understanding of reinforcement mechanisms in filled polymers. The interactions between polymers and filler surfaces are also key in the development of more advanced nanocomposite materials.We have previously utilized inelastic neutron scattering methods to examine the variation of bound polymer dynamics as a function of carbon black type for a single, initial carbon black concentration. An apparent change in the distribution in backbone motions was observed in the bound polymer compared with the pure polymer. In this study, we extend our prior work to examine the bound polymer dynamics as a function of the type of carbon black and the initial concentration of carbon black. The results suggest that two types of dynamic behavior are observed as a function of the initial carbon black concentration. This critical cutoff concentration may be related to the percolation threshold of the carbon black and suggests that quantifying the amount of bound polymer is insufficient for understanding the relationship between mechanical behavior and bound polymer content.

Plastic Parts

Recently, injection molded plastic optical products are widely used in many fields, because injection molding process has advantages of low cost and high productivity. However, there remains residual birefringence and residual stresses originated from flow history and differential cooling. The present study focused on developing a technique to measure the birefringence in transparent injection-molded optical plastic parts using two methods as follows: (i) the two colored laser method, (ii) the R-G-B separation method of white light. The main idea of both methods came from the fact that more information can be obtained from the distribution of retardation caused by different wavelengths. The comparison between two methods is demonstrated for the same sample of which retardation is up to 850 nm.

Sheep Wool

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was plasticized with maleinized linseed oil (MLO) and further reinforced with sheep wool fibers recovered from the dairy industry. The wool fibers were firstly functionalized with 1 and 2.5 phr of tris(2-methoxyethoxy)(vinyl) (TVS) silane coupling agent and were further used in 1, 5, and 10 phr to reinforce the PLA/MLO matrix. Then, the composite materials were processed by extrusion, followed by injection-molding processes. The mechanical, thermal, microstructural, and surface properties were assessed. While the addition of untreated wool fibers to the plasticized PLA/MLO matrix caused a general decrease in the mechanical properties, the TVS treatment was able to slightly compensate for such mechanical losses. Additionally, a shift in cold crystallization and a decrease in the degree of crystallization were observed due to the fiber silane modification. The microstructural analysis confirmed enhanced interaction between silane-modified fibers and the polymeric matrix. The inclusion of the fiber into the PLA/MLO matrix made the obtained material more hydrophobic, while the yellowish color of the material increased with the fiber content.
