Abstract
This chapter gives a brief introduction to extrusion compounding and injection moulding processes. These processes are most often used to manufacture short fibre-reinforced thermoplastic composites. In this chapter we discuss the influences of various processing parameters such as holding pressure, back pressure, screw speed, melt temperature and barrel temperature profile, on the microstructures (fibre length distribution and fibre orientation distribution) and morphology (layered structure, etc.).
