Why Design with Plastics? Why Design with Plastics? Corrosion resistance Low electrical and thermal conductivity, insulator Easily formed into complex shapes, can be formed, casted and joined. Wide choice of appearance, colors and transparencies Disadvantages of using Plastics Low strength Low useful temperature range (up to 600 oF) Less dimensional stability over period of time (creep effect) Aging effect, hardens and become brittle over time Sensitive to environment, moisture and chemicals Poor machinability Mechanical Properties of Various Plastics The structure of polymers Classification of polymers Polymer’s Structures Polymer’s Structures Additives in Plastics Additives in Plastics Applications of Thermoplastics Applications of Thermoplastics Popular Plastics Popular Plastics Applications of Thermosetting Plastics Applications of Thermosetting Plastics Manufacturing Processes for Plastics DFM Design GuidelinesInjection Molding DFM Design GuidelinesInjection Molding DFM Design GuidelinesInjection Molding DFM Design GuidelinesInjection Molding Rotational Molding A predetermined amount of plastic, powder or liquid form, is deposited in one half of a mold. The mold is closed. The mold is rotated biaxially inside an oven. The plastics melts and forms a coating over the inside surface of the mold. The mold is removed from the oven and cooled. The part is removed from the mold. Rotational Molding Machines Rotational Molding Rotational Molding Rotational Molding Polycarbonate wall thickness is typically between .06 to .375 inches, .125 inch being an ideal thickness. Polyethylene wall thickness is in the range of .125 to .25 inch, up to 1 inch thick wall is possible. Nylon wall thickness is in the range of .06 to .75 inch.
