Product DescriptionFilm insert injection molding (FIM) is an increasingly popular technique to impart decoration onto moldings. In this study, FIMs were produced by using amorphous and crystalline polymers that were evaluated based on their film-substrate interfacial adhesion strength. Interfacial bonding between amorphous polymers could be achieved at any temperature above the glass transition, though higher temperatures are favorable to enhance diffusion rates. As for crystalline po. . . More >>
