It will be important in the future to create an open space for education, training, and technology for those people dedicated to the field of micro injection molding systems. The cooperation with universities, colleges, and institutions will also continue to be important. All areas of injection mold making will change quickly and drastically. Some examples include ... 

Nucleants. Although nylons crystallize quickly, it is often an advantage, particularly for small parts, to accelerate this process to reduce cycle time and increase productivity. Nylon-6, which crystallizes more slowly than nylon-6,6, also benefits from nudeation in unreinforced formulations. Nucleants are generally fine-particle-size solids or materials that crystallize as fine particles before the nylon. The materials, eg, finely dispersed silicas or talc, seed the molten nylon and result in a higher density of small uniformly sized spherulites in nylon-6 the crystalline form is also changed. Nudeation increases tensile strength and stiffness but makes the material more britde. Mold shrinkage is lower for nudeated resins. 

The preform expands due to relaxation and recovery. The pressure placed on the molded resin exerts three types of changes in the particles of resin. Resin particles undergo plastic deformation and are intermeshed together leading to the development of cohesive or green strength. Particles also deform elastically and experience cold flow underpressure. The air trapped in the space between the resin particles is compressed. Removal of pressure allows the recovery of elastic deformation, which creates a quick snap back of the preform. Overtime, stress relaxation partly reverses the cold flow, and the preform expands. 

The problem was solved by using a numerical method based mainly on the Dusinberre generalization of the increment method [9] applied to one-dimensional transient conduction. In fact, the heat transfer coefficient at the steel-rubber interface is very large, the surface rubber temperature changed very quickly, and consequently the initial temperature was taken as the arithmetic mean of the original surface temperatures of the mold and rubber. 

The dried powder is placed in a mold and subjected to a gradually increasing pressure of 25 t.s.i. over a period of three minutes and the pressure then gradually reduced over a period of one minute. The coherent, molded bar is further dried in air at 50°C and then placed in an electrically heated muffle and heated to 800°C, while supported on a fused silica plate. Another electric muffle, adjacent to the first, is heated to a temperature of 1050°C. The silica bar, not yet sintered at 800°C is quickly transferred to the muffle at 1050°C and left for 15 min. It is observed that the specimen shrinks perceptibly in dimensions, and becomes more translucent. As soon as this change occurs, which requires 15 min at 1050°C, the specimen is removed from the furnace and cooled by dropping it into water. 

IMMs for TS polyester molding compounds can have either a flighted screw or a solid injection piston and are of modular design, allowing quick and effective change of injection unit fi om screw to piston. A unique aspect of one design is an automatic feed unit in three capacities of 100, 350 and 650 liters.
