Notes:
Two unfilled nonpigmented extrusion grades of polybutylene have been injection-molded into a tensile bar mold under a wide range of barrel and mold temperatures. The overall structure of the moldings has been determined and correlated with processing conditions. The short term tensile mechanical properties of the moldings have been ascertained and correlated with molding structure. For low mold temperatures, the Young's modulus and tensile strength of injection moldings of polybutylene are controlled by the extent of and structure within the highly oriented skin. Low barrel temperatures can give rise to highly crystalline thick skins that treble the Young's modulus and fracture stress, when compared to high barrel temperature moldings. Increasing the mold temperature introduces a brittle response in polybutylene injection moldings. Modulus is controlled, at the high mold temperatures, by the skin thickness and by the crystallinity of the material comprising the core of the molding.
