Effect of dissolved gas on the viscosity of HIPS in the manufacture of microcellular plastics

The microcellular plastics (MCPs) process is a foaming process that has been developed to reduce the weight of a product without significant changes to the mechanical properties. To apply microcellular plastics to mass production systems such as extrusion, injection molding, and blow molding, research must be done on material properties, such as viscosity, glass transition temperature, and melt index of polymer resin. Among the properties, it is critical to predict the change in viscosity with the amount of inert gas, which can be an index of the injection molding working condition of polymer resin. The purpose of this paper is to study the relationship between the amount of dissolved gas and the viscosity of high impact polystyrene (HIPS) resin in extrusion. The experiment was carried out with newly designed gas supply equipment and with a screw and die modified for MCPs. In addition, a pressure gauge was set up on the end of a barrel for measuring the pressure change. The experiment has shown that the viscosity of polymer decreases with increasing amounts of inert gas. A new model was applied to estimate the viscosity change as a function of the amount of dissolved gas.     

Bubble Nucleation and Growth in Microcellular Injection Molding Processes

Bubble nucleation and growth are the key steps in polymer foam generation processes. The mechanical properties of foamed polymer are closely related to the size of bubbles created inside the material. Thus, it is necessary to study how to improve mechanical strength by producing extremely fine bubbles inside polymer resin. We developed a theoretical framework to help produce uniformly distributed microcellular bubbles and experimentally verified the theoretical analysis results using an injection molding machine modified to make microcellular foaming products.

Mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of cell growth in injection molding of microcellular plastics

A mathematical formulation and numerical simulation for non‐isothermal cell growth during the post‐filling stage of microcellular injection molding have been developed. The numerical implementation solves the energy equation, the continuity equation, and a group of equations that describe the mass diffusion of dissolved gas and growth of micro‐cells in a microcellular injection molded part. The “unit‐cell” model employed in this study takes into account the effects of injection and packing pressures, melt and mold temperatures, and super‐critical fluid content on the material properties of the polymer‐gas solution and the cell growth. The material system studied is a microcellular injection molded polyamide 6 (PA‐6) resin. Two Arrhenius‐type equations are used to estimate the coefficients of mass diffusion and solubility for the polymer‐gas solution as functions of temperature. The dependence of the surface tension on the temperature is also included in this study. The numerical results in terms of cell size across the sprue diameter agree fairly well with the experimental observation. The predicted pressure profile at the sprue location has also been found to be in good agreement with the dynamics of the cell growth. Whereas for conventional injection molding the pressure of the system tends to decay monotonously, the pressure profile in microcellular injection molding exhibits an initial decay resulting from cooling and the absence of packing followed by an increase due to cell growth that expands the polymer‐gas solution and helps to pack out the mold uniformly.

A novel method for improving the surface quality of microcellular injection molded parts

Microcellular injection molding is the manufacturing method used for producing foamed plastic parts. Microcellular injection molding has many advantages including material, energy, and cost savings as well as enhanced dimensional stability. In spite of these advantages, this technique has been limited by its propensity to create parts with surface defects such as a rough surface or gas flow marks. Methods for improving the surface quality of microcellular plastic parts have been investigated by several researchers. This paper describes a novel method for achieving swirl-free foamed plastic parts using the microcellular injection molding process. By controlling the cell nucleation rate of the polymer/gas solution through material formulation and gas concentration, microcellular injection molded parts free of surface defects were achieved. This paper presents the theoretical background of this approach as well as the experimental results in terms of surface roughness and profile, microstructures, mechanical properties, and dimensional stability.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of microcellular injection molded polyamide-6 nanocomposites

The microstructure and mechanical properties of microcellular injection molded polyamide-6 (PA6) nanocomposites were studied. Cell wall structure and smoothness were determined by the size of the crystalline structure, which, in turn, were based on the material system and molding conditions. The correlation between cell density and cell size of the materials studied followed an exponential relationship. Supercritical fluid (SCF) facilitated the intercalation and exfoliation of nanoclays in the microcellular injection molding process. The orientation of nanoclays near the surface of microcells and between microcells was examined and a preferential orientation around the microcells was observed. Nanoclays in the microcellular injection molding process promoted the γ-form and suppressed the α-form crystalline structure of PA6. Both nanoclays and SCF lowered the crystallinity of the parts. Microcells improved the normalized toughness of the nanocomposites. Both microcells and nanoclay had a significant influence on the mechanical properties of parts depending on the molding conditions.
