Estudio de las propiedades mecánicas en tracción del procesado de plástico a escala de laboratorio y a nivel industrial

Abstract

One of the more attractive fronts within the plastic industry is that of new materials development with improved properties (mechanical, electric, thermal, optical, fire-resistant, barrier, etc.). In this sense, nanoparticles have achieved great importance as they offer a lot of possibilities at the time of mixing additives to conventional plastics, improving the the most specialised, as the machinery transformation sector has evolved in parallel. That is why the Toy Research Institute (AIJU) has complemented the working line for the development of new materials with micro-extrusion and mini-injection equipment to achieve the mechanical characterization of new formulations. Within the framework of this study, tensile tests were carried out on test specimens obtained from both traditional transformation equipment and laboratory equipment. Within the study, the conclusion reached was that injection moulding of thermoplastic materials on a laboratory scale reproduces the same results obtained on an industrial scale, thus being a valid allternative in the case of having a low amount of raw material or that these materials have a high cost, as would be the case with nanoadditives or anocharges.characteristic properties of the original material.
