## Abstract A two dimensional finite element model for the simulation of the advancing front in reaction injection molding (RIM) is presented. The model is based on the solution of the full NavierโStokes equation for the computation of the velocity and pressure. The arbitrary LagrangeโEuler method

## Abstract A numerical simulation of reaction injection molding (RIM) of polymeric foam is developed, using a finite volume method (FVM). In this study we predict mold filling with a variableโdensity fluid that fills a mold by selfโexpansion. We deal with twoโdimensional, isothermal cases. With th
In situ experiments were performed with a portable RIM (reaction injection molding) minimachine interfaced to an FTIR spectrophotometer to follow the reaction chemistry and monitor phase separation of copoly(urethane urea)s during RIM polymerization. The PUU copolymers were based on ethylene oxide-c
