Introducing pressure and temperature sensors into the mold cavity allows us to determine the rheological properties of the polymeric materials being processed. Furthermore, signals registered by sensors inside the mold cavity allow us to monitor the injection and holding phases as well as the subsequent solidification of the polymer melt. The aim of this research work was to verify the operational abilities of a laboratory injection mold with pressure and temperature sensors and was designed for research purposes. Standardized test pieces to investigate the mechanical properties of polymeric materials were obtained by using a laboratory injection mold. This article presents the investigation results of the influence of microcellular foaming of polyamide on the conditions inside an injection mold cavity. Apparent viscosity fluctuations of polymer melt in subsequent processing cycles were investigated as well. Additionally, the effect of changes in the injection speed of the polypropylene melt on its rheological parameters were investigated.
