Plasma Technology Rationalizes 2C Injection Molding Processes

The influence of phase morphology of polycarbonate/polyethersulfone blends on the failure behavior between the blends and polyurethane in the peel test

“…Recently, Heim et al reported on the use of bio‐based alternative raw materials for the production of hard/soft composites for bicycle and automotive parts 6 . Using a newly developed InMold atmospheric pressure plasma process, Mühlhoff et al succeed in the efficient production of completely new material combinations as 2C composites, for example, high‐strength composites of polypropylene and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) 7 …”

“…6 Using a newly developed InMold atmospheric pressure plasma process, Mühlhoff et al succeed in the efficient production of completely new material combinations as 2C composites, for example, high-strength composites of polypropylene and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). 7 In parallel, the fundamentals of manufacturing and testing 2C hard/soft composites were further developed. For example, various peel tests, including the peel test/90 , became increasingly popular for determining the composite strength.…”
