Multiple responses optimisation in injection moulding parameter for polypropylene-nanoclay-gigantochloa Scortechinii via Taguchi method
This paper presents the findings of multiple responses optimisation of overall quality performances for the samples made from the blend of polypropylene-nanoclay with different weight percentage of Gigantochloa Scortechinii fibres. The contents of fiber were set at 0 wt. %, 3 wt. % and 6 wt. %. T...

| description |
This paper presents the findings of multiple responses optimisation of overall quality
performances for the samples made from the blend of polypropylene-nanoclay with different
weight percentage of Gigantochloa Scortechinii fibres. The contents of fiber were set at 0 wt.
%, 3 wt. % and 6 wt. %. The selected injection moulding parameters were packing pressure,
melt temperature, screw speed and filling time. The overall quality performances that need to
be improved upon the optimisation were flexural strength, warpage and shrinkage. This
research started by drying the fibres at 120°C before mixing the fibres with polypropylene,
compatibilizer (polypropylene grafted maleic anhydride) and nanoclay. The compounding of
these nanocomposites was performed before injection moulding by using lab compounder and
palletizer. The multiple responses optimisation process was compiled by adding the signal to
noise ratio for each responses. As for the results, for control sample (0 wt. % fibre) the
validated S/NQP was 112.173 dBi by using the optimised parameter. These values were used
for comparison purposed. As for the 3 wt. % of fibre content, the validated S/NQP was 133.313
dBi at 35% of packing pressure with 170°C setting of melt temperature. The filled time was 3
seconds with 35% of screw speed. As for the 6 wt. % setting, the validated S/NQP was 135.835
dBi with the same setting of packing pressure and screw speed but with different setting of
melt temperature (175°C) and filled time (2 seconds). The most influential parameter for
control sample was melt temperature but the parameter changed to packing pressure when the
fibre was added. Therefore existence of fibre was proven to affect towards the end results. In
conclusion, the optimum values of parameter setting and fibre contend will improve the quality
performances specifically for products samples made from polypropylene-nanoclayGigantochloa Scortechinii. This material obviously giving a promising manufacturing
opportunity to improve the quality of the injected moulding products. |
