PFAs which are injected into the polymer melt may be the same as CFAs (i.e. To achieve a uniform foam distribution and a solid skin, the gas should expand from the inside to the outside of the polymer melt after injection. Ideally, depending on the polymer and screw length, the melt temperature should be lower than the activation temperature of the CFA to avoid gas losses through the material hopper.

It showed less force is transmitted to the hand by a polymer hammer shaft than a steel one. For instance, bio-polymers are based entirely or partially on renewable sources such as sugarcane, and may perform at a level comparable to conventional polymers. The image shows the result of a fill analysis that predicts the polymer flow in the mold.

Complēt™ long fiber reinforced structural thermoplastics and OnForce™ long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene composites utilize carbon, glass, or specialty fibers in a broad range of thermoplastic polymers to optimize material performance to your application requirements. Pyrolysis removes the matrix polymer of injection-molded specimens to reveal the different internal fiber structure of long glass fiber and short glass fiber parts. Our experts can help you make the transition, from concept to commercialization. • Customized Solutions – Formulations tailored to meet specific performance targets utilizing a wide range of polymer resins and fiber reinforcement combinations including polypropylene, various nylon (polyamide) formulations, and engineered thermoplastic polyurethane resins combined with carbon and/or glass fibers, as well as functional performance enhancing additives. • Improve Design Freedom/Reduce Material Substitution Risk – We’re experts at helping you with structural design and manufacturability, along with detailed performance analysis using finite element, fiber orientation, and mold filling CAE tools.

Apart from the degree of crystallinity, these polymers vary in their base chemistry, which dictates the surface energy or cohesive energy density. The amorphous content of the polymer, which varies from polymer to polymer, provides the anchor for the interactions occurring at the interface between the rigid plastic substrate and the TPE. The chemistry variations of a few of these polymers are illustrated in Figure 4.

WEIGHT REDUCTION • Up to 75% lighter than steel; up to 25% lighter than aluminum • Better fuel economy for transportation • Simplified installation DESIGN FLEXIBILITY • Complex shapes less costly to produce than metal • Ability to tailor strength and stiffness in specific areas • Versatile aesthetic options for surface finish PART CONSOLIDATION • Easier installation and assembly with fewer parts • Simplified transport of finished goods • Fewer parts = reduced chance of failure Value that the U.S. composite materials market is expected to reach by 2022 $10.6B 50% Amount of weight reduction that advanced composites could bring to passenger cars, leading to 35% better fuel efficiency 7% CAGR that analyst firm Technavio forecasts the global medical composite materials market will experience from 2016–2020 Fiber-reinforced polymer composites combine thermoset or thermoplastic resins with fiber reinforcement, the resulting product having substantially different properties than the individual components. THERMOPLASTIC The matrix material of a composite can be a thermoset or a thermoplastic THERMOSET THERMOPLASTIC A thermoset is a cross-linked polymer that cannot be reshaped after it’s formed, cured, and cooled.
