Abstract
A completely opposite injection molding filling behavior of thermosets and thermoplastics by an effective and useful method developed by the authors was found. Specifically, for the thermoset injection molding, there is a strong slip between the thermoset melt and wall surface, which is not found for the injection molding of thermoplastic materials. In addition, the variables, such as the filler content, the mold temperature, the injection speed, and the surface roughness that could lead to or influence the slip phenomenon of thermoset injection molding compounds, were also investigated. Furthermore, microscopy was conducted to verify the correlation between the mold wall slip and fiber orientation. The results obtained in this paper open challenges in the field of the calculation, analysis, and simulation of mold filling behavior of highly glass fiber-reinforced thermoset resins in the injection molding process with consideration of wall slip boundary conditions.
