- Additional information
- This internationally collaborative project of the Bradford-Changchun Joint Laboratory on Process Physics presents x-ray measurements (in Changchun) of structure development in polymers in high strain rate micro moulding. Micromoulding research was undertaken at Bradford in research exchanges with Changchun, including a Royal Academy of Engineering fellowship and our EPSRC Science Bridges China programme. The study is relevant to this precision processing technology, in particular where complex flows such as polymer streams join (weld line) under strongly non-isothermal conditions, but also to the enhanced understanding of structure being developed in polymers under process conditions, including orientation anisotropy and flow-induced crystallisation.
