Which Polymer Materials Meet These Specific Criteria?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on identifying polymer materials using EduPack Level 2 Sustainability that meet specific criteria: a maximum density of 1800 kg/m3, a minimum operating temperature of 100°C, and a yield strength greater than 50 MN/m2, with the ability to be injection molded. Participants are instructed to utilize the limit stage for the first three criteria and the tree stage for assessing moldability. The goal is to compile a list of materials that pass all stages and create a bar chart to identify the two cheapest options.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with EduPack Level 2 Sustainability software
  • Understanding of polymer material properties
  • Knowledge of injection molding processes
  • Basic skills in data visualization for creating bar charts
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced features of EduPack Level 2 Sustainability
  • Research polymer materials with high thermal resistance
  • Learn about yield strength testing methods for polymers
  • Investigate cost analysis techniques for material selection
USEFUL FOR

Material scientists, engineers involved in product design, and professionals in manufacturing looking to optimize material selection for polymer applications.

i) Use EduPack Level 2 Sustainability to find the Polymer materials that satisfy ALL of the following criteria: - Maximum Density permissible is 1800 kg/m3 - Maximum Operating Temperature must be at least 100°C - Yield strength (Elastic Limit) > 50 MN/m2 - Can be injection moulded From this list find the cheapest TWO materials. (Hint: Use limit stage for the first three criteria then use tree stage (remember to change to processes) for “mouldability”. Cut and paste the list passing all stages. Then do a bar chart price on y axis. Find the cheapest two).
