Abstract

Thermoplastics are available in abundance with immense properties variations, but only few are processed by injection moulding. So this manuscript deals with this issue by proposing a design criteria contingent to a particular combination of material properties, machine specifi cations and moulding features. Pertinently embracing their behavioural relationships a unique analytical design criterion was deduced directly from fi rst principles. Comprehending injection conduit to an analogous capillary tube; as well as cognising generalized Newtonian concept for thermoplastic melts with power-law description of in-situ rheological behaviour. The proposed criterion being simple and generic easily adapts in early mould design itself and comprehends entire range of thermoplastic in-situates. Hereafter any thermoplastics could be injection moulded by contingently designing an exclusive mould feed system for it. This percipience was elucidated by continuously sensitising a hypothetical intervene across all thermoplastics while explicitly appraising, why melt kinesis lacunae can never be fully rectifi ed, despite manipulating process parameters many times? Finally, the manuscript extends hereto-believed linear relationship between runner-conduit size and in-situ melt state to direct exponential proportionality with discrete slope and altitude for each thermoplastic behaviour.
