Experimental Studies of Phase Separation in Reaction Injection Molded (RIM) Polyurethanes

  • Chapter
Book cover Reaction Injection Molding and Fast Polymerization Reactions

Part of the book series: Polymer Science and Technology ((POLS,volume 18))

Abstract

Reaction injection molding or RIM is the high speed production of polymer parts directly from low viscosity reactants injected into a mold. In contrast to thermoplastic injection molding, where the part solidified upon cooling, in RIM the shape is set by fast (insitu) polymerization. The reaction leading to the formation of the polymer can be initiated by mixing or by heat transfer.1 For the mixing activated process two highly reactive monomers or pre-polymers, in stoichiometric ratios, are brought into intimate contact by impingement mixing. The thermally activated RIM materials, on the other hand, have to be initiated by an increase in monomer temperature.1
