COUNTER FLOW INJECTION MOLDING - AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD FOR PRODUCING PARTS WITH SANDWICH-LIKE MORPHOLOGY

摘要

Counter-flow injection molding (CF) is a novel two-component method which can be used for the production of parts with sandwich-like morphology. Compared to some established two-material techniques, CF can induce a higher overall level of molecular orientation and hence an improved mechanical performance. The technique requires a two-component injection molding machine fitted with a special mold. The developed microstructure and mechanical properties of CF moldings are investigated in light of the applied set of processing conditions.
