Abstract: The rheological properties and pressure-volume-temperature(PVT) relationships of polypropylene(PP) were studied using seven-parameter-Cross-WLF viscosity model and modified two-domain Tait state equation. Under defined molding conditions, the whole injection molding process could be described. The theoretical volumetric shrinkage of PP was calculated to be 5.58 %, which was approximate to the practical measured value of 5.46%.

Key words: polypropylene, injection molding, rheological property, pressure-volume-temperature relationship, shrinkage
