| Résumé : |
Advances in micromoulding technology are leading to complex, net-shape products having sub-milligramme masses with micro-scale surface features in a range of polymer and nanocomposite materials. For such small components subjected to the extreme stress, strain-rate and temperature gradients encountered in the micromoulding process, detailed process monitoring is desirable to highlight variations in moulding conditions and assist in creating a viable manufacturing process with acceptable quality products. This paper covers the implementation of a suite of sensors on a commercial micromoulding machine and detailed computer monitoring during processing of a polyacetal component over a range of processing conditions. The results determined that cavity pressure curve integral data provides the most sensitive factor for characterisation of a moulding process of a 0.34mm3 (0.49mg) product. The repeatability of the process is directly compared with that of a 15.6mm3 (22.2mg) product and shown to be inferior. DSC measurements of the whole products indicated little variation in average crystallinity of the products manufactured over a mould temperature range of 30 to 130°C. |
