본 논문의 목적은 사출압축성형을 적용하여 13 메가 픽셀을 갖는 휴대폰 카메라용 플라스틱 비구면 렌즈를 개발하는데 있다. 사출압축성형 실험을 위하여 이동 가능한 상부 형판과 4 개의 스프링을 사용하여 금형이 제작되었다. 두께비 2를 갖는 비구면 렌즈를 대상으로 캐비티 충전 실험을 수행한 결과, 일반 사출성형에서는 웰드라인이 발생하였으나, 0.3mm의 압축스트로크가 적용된 사출압축성형에서는 웰드라인이 발생하지 않았다. 또한 미성형 실험을 통하여 얻은 충전패턴은 해석결과와 잘 일치하였다. 복굴절은 압축스트로크가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며, 사출압축성형에서 발생한 복굴절은 일반 사출성형에 의한 값에 비하여 매우 낮고 균일한 분포를 나타냈다. 그리고 4 장의 플라스틱 렌즈로 구성된 조립체의 평균 복굴절은 장착되는 렌즈의 방향에 의하여 크게 영향을 받았다.

The accompanying paper, Part 1, has presented the physical modeling and basic numerical analysis results of both the flow-induced and thermally-induced residual stress and birefringence in injection molded center gated disks. The present paper, Part II, has attempted to investigate the effects of various processing conditions of injection/compression molding process on the residual stress and birefringence. The birefringence is significantly affected by injection melt temperature, packing pressure and packing time. Birefringence in the shell layer increases as melt temperature gets lower. The inner peak of birefringence increases with packing time and packing pressure. On the other hand, packing pressure, packing time and mold wall temperature affect the thermally-induced residual stress rather significantly in the shell layer, but insignificantly in the core region. Injection/compression molding has been found to reduce the birefringence in comparison with the conventional injection molding process. In particular, mold closing velocity and initial opening thickness in the compression stage of injection/compression molding process have significant effect on the flow-induced birefringence, but not on tile thermal residual stress and the thermally induced birefringence.

In the accompanying paper, part I, we have presented the physical modeling and the associated numerical analysis of injection molding process with a compressible viscoelastic fluid model. In part II, the effects of compression stage in the injection/compression molding process are presented. Numerical results showed that the injection/compression molding process reduced birefringence as compared with the injection molding process. In this respect, one can conclude that the injection/compression molding process is more suitable for manufacturing the precise optical products than the injection molding process. In the distribution of birefringence, the effect of packing procedure in injection/compression molding process was found to be similar to that in injection molding process. From the numerical results, we found that birefringence becomes smaller as the melt temperature gets higher and the closing velocity of the mold gets smaller with the flow rate and the mold temperature affecting the birefringence insignificantly. As far as the distribution of density is concerned, the flow rate, the melt temperature, and the closing velocity of the mold had insignificant effect on the distribution of density in comparison with the mold temperature.

렌즈 그리고 DVD 등과 같은 성형품들은 우수한 광학적 특성을 필요로 한다. 일반사출성형 공정은 캐비티 내에 압력이 높고 큰 온도변화를 포함하게 되어 성형품에 큰 잔류응력이 남아 광학적 품질이 저하된다. 따라서 이와 같은 제품들은 성형 시 잔류응력을 최소화하기 위해 캐비티 내의 압력을 낮게 그리고 균일하게 조절할 수 있는 사출압축성형 공정을 사용하는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 실험을 통하여 사출압축 성형품에 영향을 주는 성형인자를 분석하였다. 다수 캐비티 금형을 이용하여 캐비티 간 품질편차도 고찰하였다. 실험에 사용한 재료는 투명수지인 PC와 PS이었다. 사출압축성형의 실험에서 공정변수로는 압축거리, 압축속도, 압축력 그리고 압축지연시간을 이용하였다. 실험결과, 사출압축성형 공정 변수 중 압축력과 압축지연시간 그리고 압축거리가 광학적 특성에 크게 영향을 미쳤으며 그 정도는 수지에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 이러한 현상은 사출압축성형 시 수지마다 유동성에 따라 최적의 성형조건이 있음을 의미하는 것이다.

The production of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics(CFRTP) parts using an injection/compression molding process that differs from the conventionally used fabrication methods was investigated Before the application of composite molding in the injection/compression molding process, a simple compression molding experiment was performed using a hydraulic press machine to determine the characteristics of resin impregnation and to obtain a basic physical property data for the CFRTP. Based on these results, injection/compression molded specimens were manufactured and an additional insert/over molding process was applied to improve the impregnation rate of the molded specimens. The results demonstrated that the tensile strength of the molded parts using the faster injection/compression process was similar to that of a hydraulic press molded product.

A computer code was developed to simulate the filling stage of an injection/compression molding process using a finite element method. The constitutive equation was the compressible Leonov model and the PVT relationship was assumed to follow the Tait equation. The flow-induced birefringence was related to the calculated flow stresses through the linear stress-optical law. Simulations of a disk under different processing conditions, including variations of the compression stroke and compression speed, were performed to determine their effects on the flow-induced birefringence. Simulated pressure traces were also compared to those obtained in conventional injection molding and with experimental data from the literature.

Aspheric polymer lens fabrication using isothermal compression molding is presented in this paper. Due to increasing definition of an image sensor, higher precision is required by a lens which can be used as a part of an imageforming optical module. Injection molding is a factory standard method for a polymer optical lens. But achievable precision using injection molding has a formidable limitation due to the machining of complex mold structure and melting and cooling down a polymer melt under high pressure condition during forming process. To overcome the precision requirement and limitation using injection molding method, isothermal compression molding is applied to fabrication of a polymer optical lens. The fabrication condition is determined by numerical simulations of temperature distribution and given material properties. Under the found condition, the lens having a high precision can successfully be reproduced and does not show birefringence which results often in optical degradation.

Conventional injection molding system for producing extremely thin-wall parts such as Light Guide Plates(LGP's) for mobile displays is at the limit of its capability due to its tendency to develop frozen layers and the critical speed of injection. The molten polymer in the cavity freezes quickly as its heat is rapidly transferred to the mold base. Many attempts have been tried in the past to overcome this problem. The present study used the injection/compression molding technology to produce a thin-wall part, with enhanced features such as an automated mechanism for cutting gates. As a result, the total cycle time was reduced by almost 35 seconds, resulting in a productivity increase by 30%.

Injection compression molding (ICM) is an advantageous processing method for producing thin and large polymeric parts in a robust manner. In the current study, we employed the ICM process for an energy-related application, i.e., thin and large polymeric battery case. A mold for manufacturing the battery case was fabricated using injection molding. The filling behavior of molten polymer in the mold cavity was investigated experimentally. To provide an in-depth understanding of the ICM process, ICM and normal injection molding processes were compared numerically. It was found that the ICM had a relatively low filling pressure, which resulted in reduced shrinkage and warpage of the final products. Effect of the parting line gap on the ICM characteristics, such as filling pressure, clamping force, filling time, volumetric shrinkage, and warpage, was analyzed via numerical simulation. The smaller gap in the ICM parting line led to the better dimensional stability in the finished product. The ICM sample using a 0.1 mm gap showed a 76% reduction in the dimensional deflection compared with the normal injection molded part.
