PT Journal AU Jachowicz, T Krasinskyi, V TI Investigation of Injection Shrinkage of Composite Moldings with Mineral Filler SO Acta Mechanica Slovaca PY 2019 BP 24 EP 29 VL 23 IS 3 DI 10.21496/ams.2020.003 DE polymer processing; injection molding; shrinkage; filler; composite injection-molded part. AB The paper presents the injection shrinkage of composite moldings with mineral filler phenomenon. The definition of shrinkage and shrinkage types are described. The main factors affecting shrinkage value of injection-molded part are discussed. Based on the experimental tests conducted using injection-molded parts made from polypropylene filled with glass fiber and talc, the dependence of injection-molded part shrinkage on filler content and selected parameters of the injection molding process has been determined.
