Development of a Hybrid Solid-Microcellular Co-injection Molding Process

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a hybrid solid-microcellular co-injection molding process that combines aesthetic and processing advantages of injection molding with benefits and property attributes of microcellular plastics (MCPs). A two-color injection molding machine has been modified and equipped with an interfacial platen and a supercritical fluid (SCF) unit for co-injection molding with regular resins and MCPs. Co-injection molded polystyrene (PS) parts with a microcellular core encapsulated by th… Show more

“…Micro cells also greatly enhance the part toughness of many polymeric materials by acting as crack arrestors. Substantial research and development have been conducted on the processing and characterization of many different microcellular and filled plastics [2,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. However, the problems of microcellular surface reports and study are still insufficient.…”
