Product Description
One of the key aspects of the production of high precision components via injection molding technology is the need to meet extremely tight dimensional tolerances, often in the submicron range, and maintain these tolerances over the practical lifetimes of the molded articles. In addition, as many of the precision components are utilized in various optoelectronic systems and devices, control of optical and electrical properties is often crucial. The strict control of dimensional and electro-optical properties requires a systematic reexamination of the conventional injection molding process with special consideration of its impact on these attributes of the molded article. This volume examines precision injection molding from different perspectives, covering materials, process, mold and machine aspects of the technology, with special emphasis on factors affecting the dimensional integrity and stability of the molded components. It attempts to combine theoretical modeling and application oriented approaches and present the current state of understanding of this complex and critical manufacturing technology. Special topics covered in this volume include: mechanisms of dimensional instability of molded plastics, models for prediction of warpage and shrinkage, crystallization phenomena in injection molding, process control, optical disc molding, micro-molding and micro-structure replication for microfluidics.

Precision Injection Molding: Process, Materials, and Applications

Product Description
Although the basic injection molding technology has not changed much since the publication of the 3rd edition of Injection Molding Machines, there has been considerable progress in certain process applications that make special demands on machinery and their control functions in particular. The book provides an elegant, succinct description of the injection molding process. By concentrating on a few key parameters, such as pressure, temperature, their rates and their influence on the properties of moldings, it provides a clear insight into this technology. The subsequent comprehensive presentation of technical data relating to individual machine compents and performance is unique and will be especially appreciated by practitioners.
