Effect of static mixer on fiber orientation of injection molded fiber‐reinforced composites

Effect of static mixer on fiber orientation of injection molded fiber‐reinforced composites

Abstract The effect of an in‐mold static mixer on orientation of fiber‐reinforced polypropylene (PP) was explored within the injection molding process. Several mold geometries and helical mixer designs were assessed via simulation to identify the mixing ability and the potential effect on fiber orie...
