Injection molding can bolster performance and cut the cost of power-transmission nuts. The performance of power-transmission nuts made from plastics can vary drastically depending on how they are ...

Undercuts (such as those shown) can complicate and, in some cases, prevent part ejection. Eliminate them if possible. Undercuts on injection-molded parts are features that prevent those parts from ...

One great advantage of the pultrusion process is its ability to efficiently manufacture long, straight composite parts with high strength on the longitudinal axis and a wide variety of complex ...

To improve the application of carbon black (CB)-filled polymer composites, we investigated the relationship between the processing parameters, microstructure and electrical properties of injection ...

The following is an edited excerpt from The Business of Injection Molding, by Clare Goldsberry. The book is the first title in the IMM Book Club Injection Molding Management Series, published by IMM.

Injection molding is an important processing method for conductive fiber-filled polymer composites. The disadvantage of this approach is that the electrical resistivity of the molded part increases ...
