Fig. 3. Comparison of cooling curves of unfilled polypropylene with polypropylene composites with various filler fractions of Fe3O4. The symbols are measured values; the lines are regression lines (cf. text).
At a time t0Z0 s the temperature measured by the thermocouple reaches a maximum value around 200 8C. With increasing time the observed temperature decreases. After tZ54 s the mould opens and the cooling behaviour recorded with the thermocouple changes because it is no longer in contact with the injection moulded material. Due to the large diameter of the rod, the time (54 s) until the mould is opened and the injection moulded parts are ejected is chosen relatively high to ensure that the parts are surely solidified.
It can be seen in Fig. 3 that the slope of the curve changes significantly after tz9 s, which corresponds to the time where the after pressure is removed. Additionally, Fig. 3 points out that the composite in the cavity cools down faster with increasing magnetite fraction. To reach a temperature of

It is remarkable that the calculated thermal diffusivities a1 of the higher temperature parts of the cooling curves are a little bit lower than the diffusivities measured with the transient technique, while the calculated thermal diffusivities a2 of the lower temperature parts of the cooling curves meet the measured diffusivity values

polypropylene with 50 vol% Fe3O4 is reduced to tZ30.9 s (cf. Table 4). The reduced cooling time is in good agreement with the increased thermal diffusivity of magnetite filled composites due to the high thermal diffusivity of the particles (cf. Table 1) which leads, regarding Eq. (4), to an increased cooling rate. The temperature time dependence in Fig. 3 does not follow a simple linear behaviour expected for temperature–time curves by Eq. (4) in a logarithmic plot. Only for the unfilled polypropylene the measured values can be fitted with a single straight line between approximately 15 and 54 s. The slope of this line leads to a diffusivity of az0.21 mm2/s (cf. Eq. (4)). The other measured cooling curves of the polypropylene-magnetite composites are fitted in each case with two straight lines, for the high temperature (a1) and low temperature (a2) region.
