The Adhesion of LSR Thermoplastic Composites after Storage Tests
(Society of Plastics Engineers, 2017)
The adhesion properties of liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and different thermoplastics (PC, PA, and PP) were examined in this investigation. In order to guarantee the adhesion of both components, an activation (silicatization) of the TP surface, which is a conventional method, was carried out. Furthermore, the long-term stability of the silicatization (storage of the activated surfaces) as well as the wetting behavior were investigated. Moreover, microscopic investigations were performed to analyze the activated ...

Flexible Foams made of Liquid Silicone Rubber and expandable Microspheres
(2019-10-02)
In this study, the possibility of foaming liquid silicone rubber (LSR) was investigated. The foam was produced by injection molding with two different thermoplastic, expandable microspheres. Different properties were tested using the S2-tensile bar, e.g. density, tensile strength, specific tensile strength, elongation at break, stress at 100 % strain and the hardness. It was found that the two types of microspheres used have similar effects on density, specific tensile strength and elongation at break, but differ in ...

The Influence of different die geometries on the Extrusion Process of High-Consistency Silicone Rubber
(Society of Plastics Engineers, 2019)
Silicone Rubber and especially High-Consistency Silicone Rubber (=HCR), are typically processed in the extrusion process. Due to the high requirements in terms of the ma-terial properties and the geometric dimensions, a funda-mental knowledge of the whole process including experi-ences in tool design are essential.
In this study, HCR with different Shore-hardnesses are extruded on a vertical silicone extrusion line with various breaker plates with different length to diameter ratios (=L/D-ratio) in order to analyze ...

Pull and Foam - Injection moulding method: Foamed ribs for stiffening plane components
(Society of Plastics Engineers, 2012)
The pull and foam method is a foam injection moulding method which is currently being developed at the Institut für Werkstofftechnik (IfW) (Institute of Materials Engineering) at the University of Kassel. The processing principle represents an alternative to the existing foam injection moulding special procedures and introduces the possibility to partially foam a component. In so doing, thin-walled, hardly foamed components with foamed ribs can be made in one processing step, thus also components with graded ...

The Effect of Injection Molding Parameters on Microcellular Foam Morphology
(2021)
Microcellular foam injection molding with physical blowing agent (MuCell®) delivers monetary benefits, processing advantages and freedom of product design by reducing shrinkage. In conjunction with an advanced mold technology, so-called Pull and Foam method, there is great potential in controlling the foam structure of the component locally. In this study, Polycarbonate (PC) components were produced with nearly compact outer skin and a closed cellular core. To understand the relation between processing parameters and ...

Formation of morphology as a function of process control by foam injection molding of a functionally graded component
(Society of Plastics Engineers, 2014)
A special mold technology enables the production of foam injection molded components with locally differing foaming ratios. Thus, components with functionally graded foam structures can be produced in one processing step. The method (pull and foam method) is based on the idea of creating components with thin-walled areas with a high surface quality and partially foamed, thick-walled areas (e.g. with the function of integrated structural elements) in a controlled foaming process. This paper describes the characteristics ...

Changeable Thermal Management for LED-Lighting
(Society of Plastics Engineers, 2015)
Thermal management of LED lights can be arranged by deliberately influencing lighting components conduction capabilities and reducing the thermal contact resistance for various joining processes. The research details the possibilities thereof and shows the thermal contact resistance of plastic and

Development of a Radian Friction Welding Machine Using the Circular Process with Limited Rotational Motion
(Society of Plastics Engineers, 2013)
The processing-technological limitations of components which can not be continuously rotated, either due to their length or marginal protrusions, make the realization of several potential applications using rotation welding unthinkable. The difficulties that arise while generating a high quality weld and are caused by large component tolerances and component warping are known. In order to extend the potential of friction welding, it is necessary to develop a new welding technology. In cooperation with Fischer ...

Liquid Silicone Rubber Foams Made with Water as Blowing Agent
(2021-08-18)
Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is primarily used in injection molding. Foamed molded parts made of LSR are almost nonexistent because the process reliability of LSR foam injection molding is currently not given. It makes sense to have suitable foaming processes for this material as well, because the density of this elastomer is about 1.15 g cm−3. With the injection molding process presented herein for foaming LSR, density reductions of up to 40% can be achieved. In this process, up to 3% by weight of water is added to ...

Rotatives Vibrationsschweißen
(kassel university press, 2017)
Schweißversuche mit den von dem Schweißmaschinenhersteller Fischer Kunststoff-Schweißtechnik GmbH entwickelten Prototypenmaschinen für das neuartige Rotative Vibrationsschweißen zeigen eine vergleichbare erforderliche Prozessführung und die bereits bekannten Ausprägungen der vier Schweißprozessphasen anderer Vibrationsschweißverfahren. Unter Verwendung unterschiedlicher Werkstoffe und Probekörpergeometrien zeigt sich, dass sich die Fügenahteigenschaften von mit dem Rotativen Vibrationsschweißverfahren gefügten ...
