Gas Solubility model for microcellular injection molding

The solubility of gas into the polymer melt can affect both the viscosity of the melt and the bubble size in the finished product.

The gas solubility model is given by the following equation:

gas solubility model

where:

  • k is the solubility coefficient
  • T is the temperature
  • and k1 and k2 are data-fitted coefficients

If the value of k2 is zero, then the solubility coefficient will be constant at k1.
