A holistic approach to injection moulding optimisation for product quality and cost through the characterisation of reprocessed polymeric materials and process monitoring. Experimental evaluations and statistical analysis of multiple reprocessing of unfilled and short glass fibre filled polypropylene materials. An optimised methodology to realise minimum product cost at an acceptable product quality.
The plastics industry is one of the fastest growing major industries in the world. There is an increase in the amount of plastic used for all types of products due to its light weight and ability to reprocess. For this reason, the reprocessing of thermoplastics and the usability of reprocessed mater...
