Polymers Thermoplastics vs Thermosets Thermoplastics(热塑形塑料)-Plastics that can be repeated softened by heating and repeatedly hardened by cooling through a temperature range that is characteristic of the plastic.In the softened state,the plastic can be shaped into articles. Thermosets(热固性塑料)-Plastics which,after having been cured by heat or other means are mostly infusible or insoluble. Thermosets cannot be reprocessed. Shanghai Jiao Tong University 4

In the softened state, the plastic can be shaped into articles. Thermosets （热固性塑料）– Plastics which, after having been cured by heat or other means are mostly infusible or insoluble. Thermosets cannot be reprocessed
Polymers Thermoplastics vs Thermosets Thermoplastics molecules are linear or branched,and as a rule are soluble in specific organic solvents. In thermosets,the molecules are chemically cross-linked,and cannot be dissolved by organic solvents Thermosets Thermeplastics Three-dimeasional amorphous cross-linked Filament molecules molecules amorphous partially crystelline Shanghai Jiao Tong University 5

Injection Molding In the injection molding process,thermoplastic polymer granules are fed via a hopper into a heated barrel.A screw or ram forces the molten polymer into a mold cavity.Pressure is maintained until the part has hardened and then the part is ejected out of the mold. Cavities Hopper to Part feed polymer pellets Screw and ram w 日 Hydraulic Heaters for cylinder for melting mold clamp and opening Stationary half of mold Movable half of mold Shanghai Jiao Tong University 7
