Abstract
A method for molding amorphous polyether ether ketone including steps of preparing a molten mass including polyether ether ketone, cooling a mold assembly to a temperature of at most about 200° F., and injecting the molten mass into the cooled mold assembly.
Claims20
A method for molding comprising:
- preparing a molten mass comprising polyether ether ketone;
- cooling a mold assembly to a temperature of at most about 200° F.;
- and
- injecting said molten mass into said cooled mold assembly.
1 more element
A system for molding comprising:
- a mold assembly defining a cavity and a fluid channel;
- a cooling system in fluid communication with said fluid channel, said cooling system supplying a cooling fluid to said fluid channel, wherein said cooling fluid cools said mold assembly to at most about 200° F.;
- and
- a polymer injection subsystem in fluid communication with said cavity, said polymer injection subsystem supplying a molten mass to said cavity, said molten mass comprising polyether ether ketone.
1 more element
A fastener comprising:
- a fastener body;
- and
- a portion of polyether ether ketone connected to said fastener body, said polyether ether ketone having a crystallinity of at most about 15 percent.
