Moldex3D’s Exclusive Patented Technology for Material Pressure Dependency Viscosity Measurement Helps Obtain a More Accurate Warp Prediction

When molding ultra-thin wall plastic parts, high injection speed is required to ensure a complete filling of the cavity. However, high injection speed tends to cause high filling pressure which will result in the compression of the free volume of polymer chains; therefore, the viscosity will get higher and the flow resistance will increase.

Arburg Presents Cost-effective Injection Moulding

Koplas is South Korea's most important trade fair for the country's plastics industry, taking place every two years. More than 450 exhibitors from 26 countries will convene in the Kintex exhibition centre in Goyang in the Seoul metropolitan area from 7 to 11 March 2017. This year, Arburg is represented with its own exhibition stand for the first time at the Koplas. In Hall 5, stand P530, two exhibits will demonstrate how high-quality series injection moulded parts can be produced cost-effectively with electric and hybrid machine technology from Arburg.

New 2D Semiconducting Polymer-Blended Nanonetwork Material Could Form Backbone of Organic Electronics

Researchers may have found a "sweet spot" for organic electronics by fabricating a new 2D semiconducting polymer-blended nanonetwork material that simultaneously achieves excellent charge mobility, high flexibility, and nearly 100% optical transparency—a combination of properties that has so far been elusive for semiconducting materials.
