Reducing volumetric warpage during the injection molding process is a challenging problem in the production of microfluidic chips, as the warpage directly affects the bonding quality of the substrate and the cover sheet. In this study, the injection molding of substrate and the cover sheet, composed of PolymethylMethacrylate(PMMA), was simulated. The effect of different process parameters, holding pressure, holding time, mould temperature and injection speed, were investigated via single factor experiments, observing the warpage of the sheet with Three-Coordinate Measuring Machine. The analysis showed that the warpage was affected by non-uniform shrinkage and residual stress of the melt. Holding pressure and holding time had a greater effect on the warpage than the mould temperature and injection speed did. Therefore, reasonable holding pressure and holding time can effectively reduce the warpage of microfluidic chips in the injection molding process.

Abstract The current investigation focused on contributing to the development of a novel injection molding process by attempting to understand the scientific relationship that exist between the applied vibrational parameters involved in this process and the effect it has on final product polymeric characterization. Although previous and current attempts at understanding the connection between applied oscillatory or vibrational motion to an injection molding process has shown positive quantitative advantages to final product properties, there still exists a void in the scientific explanation on a molecular level linking these effects. This experimental study, in particular, involved an evaluation on a range of processing conditions applied to Polystyrene and the effects it produced on resultant product quality and polymer properties. Optimal control and mechanical vibrational molding conditions were obtained for Polystyrene. As a result of this, optimal opportunities for initial commercial utilization of the technology can be proposed.

Abstract Aiming at the problem that a thin-walled plastic part easily produces warpage, an orthogonal experimental method was used for multiparameter coupling analysis, with mold structure parameters and injection molding process parameters considered synthetically. The plastic part deformation under different experiment schemes was comparatively studied, and the key factors affecting the plastic part warpage were analyzed. Then the injection molding process was optimized. The results showed that the important order of the influence factors for the plastic part warpage was packing pressure, packing time, cooling plan, mold temperature, and melt temperature. Among them, packing pressure was the most significant factor. The optimal injection molding process schemes reducing the plastic part warpage were melt temperature (260°C), mold temperature (60°C), packing pressure (150 MPa), packing time (2 s), and cooling plan 3. In this situation, the forming plate flatness was better.

Numerical simulation in the printer cover product molding process with gas assisted injection molding was carried out by means of computer aided engineering. The filling process and surface quality were forecasted. The simulation results provide an important reference for the selection in the production process parameters. Compared with the production molding process and the actual product, CAE technology used in actual production and design is entirely feasible.
