Is it possible to do same process like aluminium cast iron in polymer to make polymer nano composite? Is it possible to melt, make a liquid polymer and then pour it into a mold for required shape? PMMA, PLA, PEEK like materials? Kindly share your view and materials for the same. Not like solution casting, purely melting to make into hot liquid, mixing powders and pouring it into
I am not sure it is possible to cast a polymer casting like alumina casting kindly follow the document and link.

Dear all, the process exists, melt molding. Please check the following links. My Regards

Hi;
Hot molding uses the fusion of materials that are left to solidify in a mold. Injection molding is done with a steel or aluminum machine and several components, there are two essential parts: plasticizing cylinder and mold. The first one transforms the polymer in the form of granules in liquid state through the passage of this last one in the cylinder heated at high temperature. The second part, the mold, gives the final shape to the part.
With my best regards
