Observation of polypropylene (PP) melt flow on macro and micro cavities during filling phase of injection molding

The flow of plastic melt in macro and micro parts during the filling phase of injection molding is an interesting area to discover. The visualization technique is a common method used to understand the phenomena of polymer flow in mold cavity. Various shapes and sizes were fabricated on aluminum mol...
