In producing moldings by using an injection mold, several variables such as the metal mold and the condition of injection molding should be selected properly in order to obtain good quality of moldings. In this study, focussed are the mechanical properties of injection moldings, since many researches on injection have been focussed mainly on the molding quality, injection pressure, and bulk temperature but the properties of injection moldings have not been studied extensively. The mechanical properties of present injection moldings can be improved simply by changing the molding material and the injection conditon without changind the metal mold. To have the final products meet the specified molding quality and mechanical properties at the same time, the bulk temperature of injection, pressure variation, volumetric shrinkage, stress, and cooling should be analized by CAE(computer aided engineering) after injection mold design. In this paper, the effects of dischare condition on mechanical properties of injection moldings are studied by testing the moldings which are injected by varying injection conditions.

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.

Recently, polymeric micro-fluidic biochips with numerous micro patterns on the surface were fabricated by injection molding for realizing low-cost mass production of devices. To evaluate the effects of process parameters on large-scale micro-structure replication, a $50{\times}50mm^2$ tool insert with surface structures having a patterns of trapezoidal shapes (height: $30{\mu}m$) was employed. During injection molding, PMMA was used; packing phase parameters and mold temperature were investigated. The replicated surface textures were quantitatively characterized by confocal laser microscopy with 10-nm resolution. The degree of replication at low mold temperatures was found to be higher than that at high mold temperature at the beginning of the packing stage. Thereafter, the degree of replication increased to a greater extent at higher mold temperatures; application of higher mold temperatures improved the degree of replication.

The purpose of this research is the warpage reduction for intake-manifold which is made to the injection molding. Intake-manifold is assembling to ultra sonic welding after forming. Therefore deformation is influence on the performance and manufacture to intake-manifold product. Location and number of gates, filling time, mold temperature, packing time, packing pressure and cooling time are factors that affect the deformation of injection molding product. Therefore, the injection molding characteristics of intake-manifold and the estimated deformation are detected by CAE analysis and compare measuring data in this study.

An injection molding is necessary to mass-product for micro-nano system, so micro-nano mold must be developed for injection molding. The micro-nano mold has precision and strength to overcome a surround of injection. So in this paper, two methods were used. First, after etching the Al, Ni was electroplated in etched AI. The other, LIGA method was used. A temperature and thickness of Ni are important factors in these methods. So after fabrication, the simulation was processed to find optimal thickenss of Ni and temperature.

In the present study, the effects of orthogonal ribs on structural warpage during injection molding process were investigated. Basic ribbed models for the evaluation of degree of warpage were introduced and designed. Injection molds for these models are manufactured based on the full 3D CAD/CAM technology and specimens are prepared for experiment. Numerical analysis using commercial plastic injection molding analysis software was also performed to compare the results with experimental ones. The variations of materials and parameters such as injection time, mold temperature, melt temperature, holding time were considered in the present work. It was shown that orthogonal ribs have significant effect on the reduction of warpage during the injection molding process.

Optical characteristics including the view angle and color temperature uniformity of LED packages with an integrated lens fabricated by compression molding method are investigated according to lens shape, lens materials, and phosphor coating methods. Four types of lens shape are designed and their optical output power dependence on the refractive index of silicone encapsulant are evaluated. Also, spatial color temperature uniformities of packages fabricated with different phosphor coating methods-direct coating on a chip vs. uniformly mixed with silicone encapsulant- are compared at various view angles. As the result, it is found that phosphor coating method is more effective on color temperature uniformity than lens shape. The maximum color temperature difference of a package with direct coating of phosphor on a chip is 1,340K according to the view angle at the color temperature of 5,000K, and that of a package with uniformly mixed phosphor is 250K, which indicates 1,090K improvement of color uniformity for the latter case.

The surface gloss of an injection molded part is one of the most significant point for evaluating the quality of products appearance. The effects of process condition on the gloss of ABS(Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene) molded part were investigated in this work. The measurements of gloss and morphology on the surface of molded part were carried out with different melt temperature, mold temperature, mold surface roughness, injection pressure and holding pressure. Gloss had a maximum value with melt temperature in the range of 210 to 220 ${^\circ}C$ and with mold temperature 40 to 50${^\circ}C$ and with injection pressure 80~90 MPa, respectively. Melt temperature was shown to have the largest effect on gloss in our work. Gloss was not improved in the region of melt temperature 240${^\circ}C$ above and of mold temperature 60${^\circ}C$ above. It was concluded that the variation of gloss was mainly caused by rubber particles migration under shear stress not by their aggregation or necklace.

Stamper surface temperature is very critical in replicating the high density optical disc substrates using injection molding as the pit or land/groove patterns on the optical disc substrate have decreased due to the rapid increase of areal density. During the filling stage, the polymer melt in the vicinity of the stamper surfaces rapidly solidifies and the solidified layer generated during polymer filling greatly deteriorates transcribability and fluidity of polymer melt. To improve transcribability and fluidity of polymer melt, stamper surface temperature should be controlled such that the growth of the solidified layer is delayed during the filling stage. In this study, the effect of heating on replication process was simulated numerically. Then, an injection mold equipped with instant active heating system was designed and constructed to raise the stamper surface temperature over the glass transition temperature during filling stage of the injection molding. Also, the closed loop controller using the Kalman filter and the linear quadratic Gaussian regulator was designed. As a result, the stamper surface temperature was controlled according to the desired reference stamper surface temperature.
