Due to the high demand of smart green, the
lightweight technologies become the driving force for
people in automotives and other developments in recent
years. Among those technologies, using short and long
fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (FRT) to replace some
metal components can reduce the weight of an automotive
significantly. However, the micros...

... to the nature of statistics of sampling, two length units are used: number-average length (Ln) and weight-average length (Lw). Figure 5 shows fiber degradation in number average length at different screw sections. The predicted FLD is in good agreement with the experimental FLD result [8]. Figure 6 shows the shear rate variation along the screw performance for Screw 1. ...

Present work deals with tensile characterization of walnut shell (WS) powder (20, 40 and 60 volume %) reinforced High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) thermoplastic composites synthesized using injection molding. Composite density and tensile modulus increases with increasing WS content wherein tensile strength of composite samples is lower as compared...
Fibres are mainly added to improve the mechanical property of the plastics. The Mechanical Strength of the fibre filled plastics is dependent on the properties of fibre, properties of matrix, geometry of fibre, orientation of fibres and interfacial strength between fibre and matrix. Glass fibres are the most widely used reinforcement due to their r...
During the injection molding process, semicrystalline thermoplastics
are simultaneously submitted to high temperature
and pressure gradients, which are associated to high shear and
elongacional deformation rates. When combined to the crystallization
characteristics of these polymeric materials, those
factors result in quite diversified morphologies...
