Question 1

What is the primary morphological difference between amorphous and semi-crystalline thermoplastics (teilkristalline Thermoplaste) regarding their volumetric shrinkage during cooling from the melt?

Semi-crystalline thermoplastics exhibit significantly higher volumetric shrinkage (typically 1.0% to 3.5%) due to the dense, ordered folding of polymer chains into crystallites below Tm, whereas amorphous thermoplastics exhibit lower shrinkage (typically 0.4% to 0.8%) Amorphous thermoplastics exhibit higher volumetric shrinkage because random chain tangles contract more sharply upon passing the glass transition temperature Tg Both morphologies exhibit identical volumetric shrinkage, but semi-crystalline plastics experience shrinkage exclusively in the transverse direction relative to the melt flow Semi-crystalline thermoplastics expand upon cooling due to exothermic crystal lattice formation, requiring negative shrinkage allowances in mold design

Correct Answer:

Question 2

How are the glass transition temperature (Glasübergangstemperatur Tg) and the crystalline melting temperature (Kristallitschmelztemperatur Tm) defined for a semi-crystalline polymer?

Tg is the reversible transition temperature of the amorphous domains from a hard, glassy state to a rubbery/flexible state, while Tm is the temperature at which crystalline lamellae dissociate into an isotropic melt Tg is the irreversible decomposition temperature of the polymer chains, while Tm is the minimum mold temperature required for injection Tg is the melting temperature of crystalline spherulites, while Tm is the temperature where the polymer achieves maximum tensile strength Tg represents the continuous service temperature limit in air, while Tm represents the ignition flashpoint in standard fire testing

Correct Answer:

Question 3

Why do Polyamides (such as PA6 and PA66) require strict drying prior to injection molding, and how does subsequent moisture absorption affect the finished molded component?

Residual moisture causes hydrolytic chain scission at melt temperatures, leading to molecular weight reduction and brittleness; post-molding moisture absorption acts as a plasticizer, increasing impact toughness while reducing stiffness and yield strength Moisture causes immediate crosslinking into an insoluble thermoset inside the barrel; post-molding moisture increases stiffness and tensile modulus Residual moisture increases melt viscosity causing severe short shots; post-molding moisture absorption permanently bleaches the polymer color Water causes severe thermal runaway and explosive decomposition; absorbed moisture causes irreversible shrinkage and chemical cracking

Correct Answer:

Question 4

When comparing Polyoxymethylene Homopolymer (POM-H) and Copolymer (POM-C), which statement accurately describes their respective technical properties and processing behavior?

POM-H exhibits higher crystallinity, higher tensile strength, and higher stiffness, but POM-C provides superior thermal stability, higher resistance to alkali hydrolysis, and reduced risk of formaldehyde outgassing during processing POM-C has higher stiffness and melting point than POM-H, but is susceptible to severe stress cracking in hot water and strong bases POM-H contains oxyethylene comonomer units that inhibit chain unzipping, making it far more thermally stable during prolonged barrel residence times than POM-C POM-H is an amorphous engineering plastic used for optical lenses, whereas POM-C is a semi-crystalline elastomer used for dynamic gaskets

Correct Answer:

Question 5

What characteristics place Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in the category of high-performance thermoplastics (Hochleistungskunststoffe)?

Continuous service temperature up to 250°C (UL 746B RTI), melting point of ~343°C, exceptional chemical resistance to almost all organic and inorganic solvents except concentrated sulfuric acid, and high flame retardancy (UL 94 V-0) Continuous service temperature of 90°C, high solubility in acetone and alcohols, and mandatory use of lead-based stabilizers during extrusion Complete optical transparency, amorphous glass transition at 65°C, and rapid biodegradability in industrial composting facilities Low melting temperature of 130°C, zero crystalline structure, and exclusive suitability for cold-runner prototype casting
