    摘要: Injection molding and blow molding systems that include screws having low L:D ratios are provided. The systems are capable of producing microcellular polymeric materials. In some cases, the systems may be formed by retrofitting conventional polymer processing systems. Retrofitting may involve changing (e.g., machining or replacing) existing components of the conventional system, as well as, adding new components to the system. For example, retrofitting generally involves replacing the conventional polymer processing screw with a new screw designed to satisfy conditions needed for processing microcellular materials. In other cases, the systems may be newly manufactured. The retrofitted or newly manufactured systems of the invention are considerably less expensive than newly manufactured microcellular processing systems having higher L:D ratios.

    摘要: The invention provides a blowing agent delivery system and method for introducing a blowing agent into a polymeric foam processing system. The delivery system is designed to introduce blowing agent into polymeric material within an extruder when polymeric material is being plasticated, for example, during the plastication period of an injection molding cycle. The rate of introduction of blowing agent into polymeric material may be coupled to the flow rate of polymeric material in the extruder to ensure precise control over blowing agent percentage in the resulting mixture of polymeric material and blowing agent. The delivery system is also designed to prevent the introduction of blowing agent into the polymeric material when polymeric material is not being plasticated, for example, during the injection period of an injection molding cycle. The delivery system may be used in conjunction with discontinuous systems including injection molding or blow molding systems.

    摘要: The invention provides a blowing agent delivery system for introducing a blowing agent into a polymeric foam processing system. The delivery system is designed to discontinuously introduce blowing agent from a continuous source into polymeric material within an extruder. The system, thus, may improve control over blowing agent delivery in discontinuous polymer processing systems such as injection molding or blow molding. In some embodiments, the blowing agent delivery system selectively directs blowing agent flow from the source to the extruder barrel, or through a bypassing passageway. In this manner, blowing agent may be continuously supplied by the source but discontinuously injected into the extruder barrel. During use, the delivery system may cause blowing agent to flow through the bypassing passageway, for example, when the screw stops plasticating polymeric material.
