..., is advantageous in such processes as blow molding or vacuum forming. The toughness of a polymer can be increased by adding rubbery particles as a second noncontinuous phase. Such particles disrupt crack propagation. Butadiene has this effect in toughened polystyrene and ABS. Some thermoplastics have...
Abstract
Manufacturing process selection is a critical step in plastic product design. The article provides an overview of the functional requirements that a part must fulfil before process selection is attempted. A brief discussion on the effects of individual thermoplastic and thermosetting processes on plastic parts and the material properties is presented. The article presents process effects on molecular orientation. It also illustrates the thinking that goes into the selection of processes for size, shape, and design factors. Finally, the article describes how various processes handle reinforcement.
