Tooling Costs
In nearly every case, molds needed for LSR fabrication require more precision
and tooling expertise than those used to manufacture TPE parts.

Biocompatibility
LSR has a long-standing track record of use in the medical industry.

Solution
Avient leveraged Digimat to reverse-engineer material
data based on the microstructure, tensile test data,
and micro-mechanical modelling.
Figure 1: Tensile test data as a function of the fibre orientation 0°
(orange), 45° (green), 90° (blue)

Figure 4: Failure location in the flexural test for the isotropic modelling
Figure 6: Failure location in the tensile test for the isotropic modelling
approach (left), Digimat anisotropic modelling approach (middle) and
reality (right)
Figure 3: Flexural test results with the isotropic modelling approach
(orange) and Digimat anisotropic modelling approach (green)
Figure 5: Tensile test results with the isotropic modelling approach
(orange) and Digimat anisotropic modelling approach (green)
Figure 5 shows the tensile test results with, again,
a convincing advantage for the Digimat anisotropic
modelling approach against the isotropic modelling
approach.
