Abstract
Injection moulding is a largely used process in polymer manifacture which consists of two major stages: first the mould is filled with melted polymer and solidification begins at the mould walls; in the second stage — “packing and cooling” — the temperature is decreased while pressure is increased up to 100–150 M Pa in order to complete the filling, compensating for the change in volume due to solidification (see [9]).
