TPE samples were prepared
by injection molding of 5 � 600 (12.7 � 15.24 cm) plaques,
0.12500 (3.175 mm) thickness using a Milacron™
Roboshot™ S2000i (Milacron, Batavia, Ohio) with a
polished mold surface.
Physical and mechanical
property testing was also performed on extruded pellets
and/or specimens prepared from injection molded
plaques.
Products manufactured on different com-
pounding lines also have unique processing conditions,
including but not limited to variations in screw design,
residence time, and processing temperatures.
