Abstract:

Cellulose diacetate plastic (DACP) was injection molded under different process conditions with a change in the injection temperature, injection speed, pressure, and other conditions one by one. The mechanical properties of the injection⁃molded products were investigated. The results indicated that with a change in the injection conditions, the molded products presented a regular change in their performance. The injection temperature exhibited a greater influence on the toughness and elongation at break of the molded products. Their toughness was further enhanced with an increase in the injection temperature, followed by a significant improvement in the elongation at break. However, the molded products started yellowing at a temperature of above 230 ℃. An over high or over low injection speed might lead to deterioration in the impact resistance of the molded products. The products molded at a medium speed of 55 % exhibited the highest impact strength. The change of injection pressure generated little effect on the performance of the molded products; however, an excessive pressure led to some defects such as flashing. The molded products exhibited the optimal overall performance at an injection temperature of 225 ℃, an injection speed of 55 %, and an injection pressure of 9 MPa In this sense, selecting an appropriate injection molding process condition can improve the performance of the injection⁃molded DACP products.
