In recent, recycling of plastic material has became a major issue due to the landfills and environmental problem. This study investigated fluidity and hardness of thermoplastic vulcanizate(TPV), which is used for automobile component parts such as weather strip in order to replace ethylene propylene rubber (EPDM). So, using the spiral flow test mold, we conducted an experiment on fluidity and hardness of TPV according to injection molding conditions. As results of injection molding experiment, the recycled TPV's flow length was a little bit longer than virgin TPV and the hardness was decreased in case of using the recycled resin. Also, we investigated the morphology study by SEM photo.

Injection molded thermoplastic parts may need to be coated to facilitate paint adhesion, or to satisfy other surface property requirements, such as appearance, durability, and weather resistance. In this paper, a two-component polyurethane metering system was developed for the simultaneous injection and surface coating of a plastic substrate. The system was composed of storage tanks, feed pumps, axial piston pumps, mixing head. The tank was designed to be double-jacket structured and fabricated for polyol and isocyanate, respectively. A temperature chamber was used to maintain the material temperature to be $80^{\circ}C$ during flowing from storage tank to mixing head. Inside the chamber, feed pump, low pressure filter, high pressure pump, high pressure filter, pressure sensor, flow meter were installed. A mixing head of L-type was used for homogeneous mixing of polyol and isocyanate. Inside the mixing head, a cartridge heater and a temperature sensor were installed to control the temperature of the materials. The flow rate of axial-piston pump was controlled by using closed-loop feedback control algorithm. The input flow-rates were compared with the measured values. The output error was 6.7% for open-loop control, whereas the error was below 2.2% for closed-loop control. In addition, the pressure generated through mixing-head nozzle increased with increasing flow rate. It was found that the pressure drop between metering pump and mixing-head nozzle was almost 10 bar.

본 연구는 방곰팡이제의 혼입율 변화에 따른 방곰팡이 모르터의 물리적 특성 및 곰팡이 생성억제 효과에 대하여 검토한 것으로써, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 방곰팡이제를 혼입한 모르터의 플로우, 압축강도, 건조수축 길이변화는 방곰팡이제 혼입율에 관계없이 Plain과 유사한 값으로 나타나, 방곰팡이제의 혼입이 모르터의 물리적 특성에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 방곰팡이제를 혼입한 모르터는 Plain에 비해 매우 적은 양을 혼입하였음에도 높은 곰팡이 저항성을 나타내었고, 그 혼입량이 증가됨에 따라 곰팡이 저항성 또한 크게 증가하였다. 배합비 별로는 1:4 배합의 모르터가 1:2 배합 모르터보다 높은 곰팡이 저항성을 보였다.

Weld line in injection molded part is one of the defects in injection molding process. Weld line deteriorates not only appearance quality but mechanical property. In this study, ABS and PP were used as experimental materials. And weld line length, depth and strength have been examined according to the injection molding conditions. As the results of experimental studies, weld line length increased as flow rate increases for all materials. And the flow rate is most influenced to the creation of weld line length. Also weld line strength increased, as flow rate and melt temperature increase for all materials. The whole experiment results was similar to CAE analysis results.

The paper deals with an analysis of an extrusion process with a divided material flow in a combined radial - backward extrusion. We have discussed the influences of tool geometry such as punch nose angle, relative gap height, die corner radius on material flow and surface expansion into can and flange region. To analyse the process, numerical simulations by the FEM and experiment by physical modeling using Al alloy as a model material have been performed. Based on the results, the influence of fixed parameters on the distribution of divided material flow and surface expansion are obtained.

During a compression molding process of Unidirectional Fiber Reinforced Plastic Composites, control of filling patterns in mold and distribution of fiber is needed to predict the effects of molding parameters on the flow characteristics. To obtain an excellent product and decide optimum molding conditions, it is important to know the relationship between molding conditions and viscosity. In this study, the anisotropic viscosity of the Unidirectional Fiber Reinforced Plastic Composites is measured by using the parallel plastometer. The model for flow state has been simulated by using the viscosity. The composites is treated as an incompressible New-tonian fluid. The effects of longitudinal/transverse viscosity ration A and slip parameter $\alpha$ on buldging phenomenon and mold filling patterns, are also discussed.

The high-pressure die-casting is one of the most effective methods to produce a large amount of products in short cycle time. This process, however, has a problem that the gas porosity defect appears easily. The generation of gas porosity is known mainly due to the air entrapment during the injection stage. Most of numerical simulations for the molten metal flow pattern observations have done in the treating of one phase fluid flow but the gas-liquid interface is essentially multi- phase phenomenon. In this paper, the two-phase fluid flow numerical simulation methods have been adapted to predict the gas porosity generations in the molten metal. The accuracy and the usefulness of the new simulation module have been emphasized and verified through some comparison experiments.

The shrinkages of injection molded parts are different in molding operational conditions, resins and additives. The shrinkage of injection molded part for crystalline polymer, PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) has been studied for various operational conditions of injection molding and content of additives. Mica was used as a additive to PBT to examine the part shrinkage according to the mica content. The part shrinkages of mica contained PBT decreased as mica content increases. Higher injection temperature and injection pressure resulted in a lower shrinkage. As mold temperature increases the part shrinkage decreased. The part shrinkage of flow direction was less than that of the perpendicular direction to the flow for both pure and mica contained PBT. However the shrinkage difference between flow and perpendicular to flow directions decreased as mica content increased.

Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is an emerging technology enabling cost effective and high throughput nanofabrication. To successfully imprint a nanometer scale patterns, the understanding of the mechanism in nanoimprint forming is essential. In this paper, a numerical analysis of polymer flow in thermal NIL was performed. First, a finite element model of the periodic mold structure with prescribed boundary conditions was established. Then, the volume of fluid (VOF) and grid deformation method were utilized to calculate the free surfaces of the polymer flow based on an Eulerian grid system. From the simulation, the velocity fields and the imprinting pressure for constant imprinting velocity in thermal NIL were obtained. The velocity field is significant because it can directly describe the mode of the polymer deformation, which is the key role to determine the mechanism of nanoimprint forming. Effects of different mold shapes and various thicknesses of polymer resist were also investigated.
