Abstract
Push-pull processing is a new processing technology for thermoplastic materials. The mould has two gates which are connected to two synchron ised injection units. The melt is moved several times through the moul d during the packing phase. This modified filling process influences t he orientation of fibres and matrix in a part significantly: the core layer of short-fibre-reinforced material is completely different from a conventional injection moulded part. The influence on morphology, fi bre orientation and properties is investigated and discussed.
