...hanical properties (Fig. 2). As waxes, these additives also have further positive influences. They help to homogeneously distribute other additives and fillers, improve on the flow properties and reduce the demoulding force (Fig. 3). The montan wax, Licomont CaV 102 (manufacturer: Clariant, Gersthofen) thus not only acts as a nucleation agent here but also serves as a demoulding aid. By contrast to the stearates that are otherwise used, the montan acid salts are scarcely prone to migration and a...

...process, it is coated with a thermoplastic binder before further processing. This is normally based on polyolefins or polyoxymethylene. A very wide variety of binder systems are commercially available. Particular advantages are offered by the binder Licomont EK 583 (manufactured by Clariant). This system is based on a polymer wax and contains both water-soluble and insoluble components. It can be processed with any sinterable powder and is exceptionally easy to process. Mixing and subsequent bin...

...ollowing materials were used in the trials: a metallocene polyproplyene (PP; grade: MR 2002, manufacturer: Total Petrochemicals, MFR=13g/10min), wood pellets (type: Lignocel P Super, manufacturer: Rettenmaier) and coupling agent (PP-MAH; type: Licomont AR 504, manufacturer: Clariant). The wood pellets were predried in a circulating-air dryer (type: LS 50, manufacturer: Motan) to give a residual moisture content in all the trials of less than 1%. The compounds were produced in a planetary roller...

...lity requirements, it is of particular significance that component stiffness is homogeneous and reproducible. This is exactly what is achieved when combining wood to a plastics material that is precisely adjusted. Additive agents, e.g. Licomont AR 504 by Clariant, have proved to help step up stiffnesses in WPC, if compared to additive-free formulations, by improving the bond between wood fibre and plastics matrix. Block or graft copolymers made out of different polymers grafted with e.g. malei...

...O2) and silicon nitride (Si3N4) inserts were produced for the overmoulding trials. To develop the feedstock, an appropriate binder system first had to be chosen. For simple ceramic bar geometries, a commercial system proved suitable (grade: Licomont; manufacturer: Clariant AG). Production of the sleeves required a binder ensuring that the green compact had a higher strength. In this case, therefore, a binder separately developed by the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe was used: a mixture of polyolefi...

Debindering with the Least-Possible Residual Carbon The binder (grade: Licomont EK583G; manufacturer: eMBe Products & Service GmbH) needs to be extracted in two stages: first in a water bath, then thermally. This approach in which the binder component is extracted with a solvent first stems from the insight that thermal d...
