Application of shear-controlled orientation in injection molding of isotactic polypropylene
Chapter
Abstract
The conventional injection molding of polypropylene is introduced in the related chapter. This chapter extends the subject of injection molding of polypropylene with the addition of shear-controlled orientation in injection molding (SCORIM), which has proved to be an excellent way of managing the morphology and hence the physical properties of polypropylene [1, 2].
