Abstract

Increasing demands on strict geometry and dimensions requirements of plastic parts need systematic research in the injection moulding field with impact on dimension stability. This work is focusing on optimization of the chosen processing parameters and their mutual interaction. The aim is to reach as much as optimal processing conditions in terms of required dimensional stability – rectangular plate – applied on semicrystalline polymer – nature fibres composite with polypropylene homopolymer matrix in modification (PP + 30% cellulose + 30% additive Smart). Although shrinkage is influenced by wide range and combination of the process parameters, there had been chosen three basic parameters on the basis of practical experiences and ambiguity – melt temperature, holding pressure and injection rate.
