## 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 variableβdensity fluid that fills a mold by selfβexpansion. We deal with twoβdimensional, isothermal cases. With th

Syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) has successfully been produced using a novel reaction injection molding (RIM) process and a metallocene catalyst. Previous studies have shown that many of the requirements for a RIM process are achievable. However, problems due to incomplete conversion of monomer have
High pressure injection molding of HDPE with relatively high molecular weight is known to give products with significantly increased modulus and strength. The extent of this improvement is reduced when the thickness of the molded sample increases. The present paper is an account of experiments with
