Effect of material species on flash generation of PPS/GF composites
Reduction of flash in injection molding is of great concern for manufacturers of electrical parts. In a previous report we have proposed a theoretical model for flash generation. The present study prepares five different poly(phenylene sulfide)/glass fiber composites using three different PPS; linear branched and crosslinked PPS and measures the length of flash generated in the molding of the composites. Then, we have compared the flash data with a flash parameter defined in the model. This comparison has elucidated that flash length can be related with the flash parameter irrespective of PPS structure, as long as GF content is the same and the clearance of a gas vent is almost identical.
