摘要/Abstract

摘要： 针对微孔发泡注塑技术存在的工艺和产品质量问题，构建高保压和开模发泡微孔发泡注塑系统，试验研究不同工艺条件下微孔发泡注塑co-PP的熔体发泡行为和产品泡孔结构演变。结果表明，高保压和开模发泡能够良好调控微孔发泡注塑熔体的发泡行为，改善产品泡孔结构。在高保压压力和长保压时间作用下，微孔发泡注塑熔体填充过程中形成的泡孔进一步变形并重新溶回到熔体中，同时填充结束后发泡的熔体保持不发泡，使型腔中的熔体整体回复到一个较稳定的未发泡状态。开模发泡时，模具打开一定距离，给予熔体一个充足的发泡空间，使型腔中的未发泡熔体压力迅速下降，泡孔稳定长大，最终得到具有高发泡倍率和良好泡孔结构的微孔发泡注塑产品。微孔发泡注塑熔体发泡行为及其对应产品泡孔结构的调控与改善，关键在于对其填充过程中发泡的控制和填充结束后发泡的促进两方面。

Abstract: In view of the existing process and product quality problems of microcellular foam injection technology, a high pressure packing and mold opening microcellular foam injection system is established in this paper. The melt foaming behavior of microcellular foam injection co-PP and the evolution of product cell structure under different process conditions were experimentally studied. The results show that the foaming behavior of microcellular foam injection melt can be well controlled by high pressure packing and mold opening, and the cell structure of the product can be improved. Under the action of high packing pressure and long packing time, the bubbles formed in the filling stage of microcellular foam injection molding further deform and re-dissolve into the melt. At the same time, the melt of "foam after filling" keeps non-foaming, which makes the whole melt in the cavity return to a relatively stable non-foaming state. When the mold is opened for foaming, the mold is opened for a certain distance to give the melt a sufficient foaming space, so that the pressure of the unfoamed melt in the mold cavity drops rapidly, and the foam cell grows stably. Finally, the microcellular foam injection product with high foaming ratio and good foam cell structure is obtained. The key to control and improve the foaming behavior of microcellular foam injection molding melt and the corresponding product cell structure lies in the control of foaming during the filling process and the promotion of foaming after the filling.
