Automated image analysis to characterize the melt densification stage of polymer sintering processes
Abstract
Knowledge of melt densification during sintering is generally acquired by visualization methods, recording bubble formation and dissolution with time. Only manual visualization methods have been reported for polymer studies, which restrict the availability of data to a few discrete moments in time for the overall process. An automated vision system is presented in this paper to provide an improved level of analysis on densification, validated …
