Hello,
I am dealing with PHAs for injection molding applications. I am trying to simulate the process using injection molding simulation softwares like Moldex3D. Obviously, you need to add the properties of the plastic you’re dealing with to the software‘s library. The thing is the properties of PHAs are not available on such softwares. So you have to do some rheological, PVT, and thermal testings to get such properties which will be costly if you don’t have the equipment.
** Please take a look at the attached required properties (for another type of plastics) to add materials to any injection molding simulation software, can you suggest any way that can give me a rough approximation for such properties without carrying out the tests; because I don’t have the equipment.
- Materials suppliers don’t have these required properties too.
Any replies will be highly appreciated.
You need a set of experiments. Refer to Article PvT measruement method of polymer using capillary rheometer
