CONTROLLING FLOW ORIENTATION IN MOLDING OF SHORT-FIBER COMPOUNDS

Abstract

The degree of fiber orientation produced in transfer or plunger molding of short fiber-filled epoxy molding compounds, and hence their mechanical properties, can be controlled by mold design, processing conditions, and formulation, as well as by part design. A quantitative relationship is found to exist between three-dimensional orientation distributions and tensile modulus of the moldings.
