Fiber orientation prediction in injection molding

  • Chapter
Polypropylene Structure, blends and Composites

Abstract

Short-fiber-reinforced polypropylene (FRPP) is used as a structural material because of its high strength and stiffness to weight and cost. It can be easily processed by injection molding, which is a common method to make products from thermoplastics. Since the properties of molded parts of FRPP are strongly affected by fiber orientation, it is important to control fiber orientation appropriately by design of molds and parts.
