Title: Plastics Rheology in Micro Injection Molding

Abstract: It is widely considered that plastics in the molten state demonstrate non-Newtonian flow behavior. In the large majority of cases, this assumption is correct and reliable. However in the extreme shear environments of micro injection molding, shear thinning behavior is often pushed to the limits into a region sometimes referred to as “the second Newtonian plateau”. In this presentation, we will discuss conventional plastics flow behavior and explore some of the phenomena that occur under extreme shear exposure. Some side effects of these behavioral changes to the resultant molded product will also be discussed.
