Bond strength investigation of two shot moulded polymer

This report on the project “Bond strength investigation of two shot moulded polymers” has been submitted for fulfilling the requirements for the course “Experimental Plastic Technology – 42234” at IPL-DTU. Two shot moulding is a classic manufacturing process to combine two different polymers in a single product and it is getting more and more importance day by day.

One of the biggest challenges of two shot moulding is to achieve a reasonably good bonding between two polymers. The purpose of this project is to investigate the effects of different process, material and machine parameters on the bond strength of two shot moulded polymers. For the experiments two engineering polymers (PS and ABS) were used.

After all the experimental work, several parameters were found which could effectively control the bond strength of two shot moulded polymers. This report also presents different aspects of two shot injection moulding technology, its application in different areas. So the report could be a valuable user guide for the students and researcher who work in the area of two shot moulding of polymers.
