Abstract

In this paper, the self-reinforced single polymer composites (SR-SPCs) with different mechanical properties were obtained by compound injection molding technology, and the micro-morphology of these samples was observed. Then, using structured statistical methods, analysis of variance, and response surface methodology, study the effects of various molding variables on material morphology and properties and determine the most important molding variables and their interactions. Finally, the associated experimental data are fitted by the least squares minimization program, and the relevant dimensionless equations are obtained. The purpose is to objectively analyze the influence mechanism of molding parameters on SR-SPCs and establish a mechanism model. It was found that temperature change was the most important factor affecting the morphology and mechanical properties. The degree of molecular orientation is the most important factor to determine the tensile strength and elastic modulus of the sample. The change of crystallinity is the most important factor related to the elongation at break. By establishment relevant dimensionless equations, the influence of molding parameters on the mechanical properties of SR-SPCs, such as tensile strength and elastic modulus, was preliminarily studied.
