High Performance, Bio-based Polyamides for Injection Moldable Products

技術優勢

Green Technology – Largely based on materials derived from renewable resources such as plant oils and sugars  Absorb very little moisture enabling excellent dimensional and mechanical property stability  High melting temperature, fast crystallization rate and good mechanical properties  Fast crystallization enables short injection molding cycle-times  High melting temperature enables applications in high temperature environments such as automotive under-the-hood applications and electronic applications  Dramatically lower moisture absorption compared to Nylon 6,6 and nylon 6  Good thermal stability that provides processing robustness for injection molding  Relatively high glass transition temperatures, which provide good dimensional stability and creep resistance

技術應用

Metal replacement application in the automotive and electronics industries  Bio-based replacements for petroleum-based engineering thermoplastics

*Abstract

Scientists working at NDSU have discovered a method for making thermoplastics for injection molding that are based, in part, on renewable resources. Unlike other bio-based polyamides, these possess the high melting temperatures, fast crystallization rates, low moisture uptake, and good mechanical properties associated with engineering thermoplastics. These polymers can be used to replace the petroleum-based nylon 6,6 and nylon 6 for high end injection molding applications such as the electronic and automotive parts.
