Study of Monitoring Method and Melt Flow Behavior in Compression Molding Process Using Thermoplastic Sheets Reinforced with Discontinuous Long-Fibers

In compression molding using glass-fiber-mat-reinforced thermoplastic (GMT) sheets, a slightly longer compression waiting time from sheet placement on a lower mold to the start of sheet compression by an upper mold can cause incomplete filling due to a decrease in the sheet temperature. However, pre...
