ADVANCES IN INJECTION-MOLDING OF FIBER-REINFORCED THERMOPLASTICS DURING 1991 .2. PROCESSING, DESIGN, AND MANUFACTURE

This article is the second part of a survey of developments in the ope n literature during 1991 on subjects related to the injection molding of fiber-reinforced thermoplastics. Topics discussed include injection molding machines, screw design, process control systems, modeling, pr oduct design, mold design and manufacture, characterization techniques , and applications of composites. Although these technological advance s are broadly applicable to the processing, design, and manufacture of thermoplastics generally, they are essential to the enhanced engineer ing, fabrication, and utilization of fiber-reinforced thermoplastics.
