| The injection unit is a Super FIFO (first in, first out) type that is said to allow very fast compound changing, a fixed feeding point, high plasticization rate, high injection pressure, excellent temperature control, complete pull back of the screw and easy screw changing, according to the literature. A small automatic, hydraulic injection molding machine, designated GM 10 and manufactured by Hahn & Kolb, Stuttgart, Germany, is reported to be the first small injection molder for thermoplastic materials employing rapid cycling, efficient plasticization, and self-acting nozzle closure. Studies conducted on the water sorption of dental materials indicate that excessive water uptake may cause a decrease in mechanical strength, distortion, and depression of the glass transition temperature [25] due to plasticization, solvation, reversible rupture of weak inter-chain bonds and irreversible disruption of the polymer matrix [26]. |
