Reactive processing methods

Articles made from polyamides synthesized by the reactive processing method are widely used as engineering materials in the automotive industry, ship-building, electrical engineering, the light and chemical industries, and other applications. 

Experiments were carried out on the crystallization of polycaproamide slabs produced by the reactive processing method using the following values 97"99... 

The patent literature also provides information on means of achieving these goals. As Table 4.36 indicates, the blending effect in most case is nonspecific. Therefore, the data in Table 4.36 should only be considered as a general guide to blending. The fact that two polymers with desired properties are immiscible should, however, not be a deterrent since the modern compatibilization and reactive processing methods (discussed later) can overcome such problems. 

RTM is a reactive processing method where mould construction and clamping forces are simple and low, respectively. It is an ideal technique for production of strong and rigid parts with intricate geometries in medium scale production (tens of thousands). Mainly epoxy- and polyester-based resins, in addition to high service temperature bismaleimides...
