Polymeric fabrication

Boron compounds are nsed in making glass and determents as well as nsed in agricultnre. Boron is used in fibreglass and borosilicate fibre prodnction, both used in fibre-reinforced composite systems. They are also nsed in fibreproofing polymeric fabrics.

Most fluid pressure transducers are of the elastic type, in which the fluid is confined in a chamber with at least one elastic wall, and the deflection of the elastic wall is taken as an indication of the pressure. The Bourdon tube and the bellows are examples of elastic pressure transducers, which are used in laboratory-grade transducers and in some industrial process control applications. The fluid pressure transducer depicted in Fig. 18.7, which uses an elastic diaphragm to separate two chambers, is the type most frequentlyencountered in industrial process control. Diaphragms are constructed from one of a variety of elastic materials ranging from thin metal to polymerized fabric.

Injection molding is the most widely used polymeric fabrication method and can produce WPCs products with complex three-dimensional shapes. In this process, WPCs pellets are heated and then the molten composites are forced into mold, often with a plunger action. The mold is cool, and after the part cools the mold opens and ejects it. Injection molded WPCs panels usually appear in a skin-core morphology. In such composites, fibers in the core layer are oriented perpendicularly to flow, while those in the skin layer are oriented parallel to flow [35, 36]. Temperature, pressure and flow are the three main variables that can influence the properties of composites. For example, a low mold temperature leads to a large skin thickness, while smaller thickness can appear when using higher barrel temperature, higher screw and injection speed.
