Key aspects of the technology and challenges associated with the micromoulding process
are discussed. The apparent shear and extensional viscosity behaviour of a polyacetal at …

This article reports on the development of novel composites of starch‐based polymers
reinforced with hydroxylapatite (HA). Two different grades of blends of starch and ethylene …

This work evaluates the mechanical performance of injection‐molded starch‐based
copolymers, 60/40 (mol/mol) starch/poly (ethylene vinyl alcohol), and the possibility of …

Acoustic properties of polymer compounds are an important consideration for many
applications. Currently, there are standard test methods for the determination of these …

Multiple live-feed moulding provides for controlled macroscopic shear of polymer melts prior
to solidification. By design this results in the control of preferred orientation of reinforcing …

Objectives: To examine the seroprevalence and correlates of antibodies to herpes simplex
viruses type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2), and to assess patients' knowledge and attitude …

The aims of the research reported were to explore the possibility of removing surface weld
lines from highly reflective aluminum pigmented polypropylene injection moldings. Moldings …

The tribological performance of UHMWPE and HDPE polymers, processed by a novel
polymer process technology SCORIM (Shear-Controlled ORientation TEChnology) in …

In 1981 the first case of AIDS was reported. 1 A quarter of a century on, the AIDS epidemic
has claimed the lives of more than 25 million people. It has rapidly become one of the most …

This paper discusses the approaches and techniques used to build a realistic numerical
model to analyse the cooling phase of the injection moulding process. The procedures …
