Characterization and Comparison of Polymer Melt Fluidity Across Three Ultrasonic Plasticization Molding Technologies
2025
Overview
The influence of axial ultrasonic vibration (the dominant vibration mode) on the filling behavior of polymer melt in microcavities and its effect on microstructure formation remains inadequately understood. Based on the plasticization location and the extent to which the microcavity is covered by the ultrasonic sonotrode action surface, existing ultrasonic plasticization molding technologies were classified into three types—ultrasonic pressing (UP), ultrasonic plasticizing and pressing (UPP), and ultrasonic plasticization injection molding (UPIM). The effects of these configurations on melt fluidity and filling performance were evaluated and compared through slit flow tests. The interaction mechanisms between polymer melts and templates were elucidated based on melt pressure measurements and morphological changes in nickel micropillar arrays and silicon templates after molding. The results indicated that polymer melt exhibits improved flow behavior within microcavities when under the coverage area of the ultrasonic sonotrode action surface and subjected to the axial ultrasonic vibration. Continuous ultrasonic vibration contributed to sustaining melt fluidity during micropore filling. Among the three technologies, the most complex and intense mechanical interactions on the template microstructure were observed in UP, followed by UPP and then UPIM.
