Modeling of Industrial Polymer Processes: Injection Molding and Blow Molding

Modeling of Industrial Polymer Processes: Injection Molding and Blow Molding In the last twenty years injection molding and blow molding have seen a rapid growth due to the development of new application areas in the automotive, sports and leisure, electronics, transportation and packaging industries. This success can be traced to the optimization of existing processes and to the development of new processing techniques employing novel concepts such as gas-assisted injection molding, co-injection, and 3D and sequential blow molding. The complexity of these new molding techniques calls for a much better understanding of the material behavior during the basic stages of the process and its relation to the properties and performance of the final part. These characteristics are directly dependent upon die and mold designs and on the operating conditions during extrusion, injection, inflation and cooling in the mold. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Advanced Performance Materials Springer Journals

Abstract

In the last twenty years injection molding and blow molding have seen a rapid growth due to the development of new application areas in the automotive, sports and leisure, electronics, transportation and packaging industries. This success can be traced to the optimization of existing processes and to the development of new processing techniques employing novel concepts such as gas-assisted injection molding, co-injection, and 3D and sequential blow molding. The complexity of these new molding techniques calls for a much better understanding of the material behavior during the basic stages of the process and its relation to the properties and performance of the final part. These characteristics are directly dependent upon die and mold designs and on the operating conditions during extrusion, injection, inflation and cooling in the mold.
