Microinjection molding of polyoxymethylene/multiwalled carbon nanotubes composites with different matrix viscosities

Abstract This study features the effect of matrix viscosity on the properties of carbon nanotubes reinforced polyoxymethylene (POM/CNT) microparts, which were obtained via melt blending and subsequent microinjection molding (μIM) processes, under a defined set of processing conditions. Results of compression molding and μIM were compared to assess the influence of processing methods (i.e., thermomechanical history) on the electrical and thermal …
