The proposed equipment is a highly customized hybrid hot runner system that will be mounted on our industry-scale injection molding machine to produce novel microcellular foams. It will be a key component in several research programs, such as (i) the Network for Innovative Plastic Materials and Manufacturing Processes (NIPMMP) of the NSERC Strategic Network Grant (SNG), (ii) the Centre for Industrial Applications of Microcellular Plastics (CIAMP) that was funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation's Leading Edge Fund (CFI-LEF), and (iii) the Consortium for Cellular and Micro-Cellular Plastics (CCMCP) with its 20+ industrial sponsors. Microcellular plastics are advanced polymer foams consisting of very fine bubbles (smaller than 10 microns and with a cell number density larger than 1 E+9 cells/cc). Compared with their unfoamed counterparts, microcellular plastics typically exhibit substantially superior mechanical properties that include impact strength, toughness, and fatigue features. And they maintain the desired functionality and/or structural properties that characterize standard plastics. They also offer exceptional heat insulation, sound dampening, thermal stability, optical properties, and surface quality. Successful completion of the research programs will result in significant economic and environmental contributions to Canada. In addition to the noted advantages provided by its superior properties, microcellular plastics technology, with its environmentally-friendly blowing agents, can reduce material consumption and product weight. This will give our Canadian manufacturing base a tremendous competitive advantage in the international marketplace, which will lead to sustainable job creation, the reduction of automobile fuel consumption, and the replacement of hazardous blowing agents.

拟议的设备是一个高度定制的混合热流道系统，将安装在我们的工业规模的注塑机生产新型微孔泡沫。它将成为几个研究项目的关键组成部分，如（i）NSERC战略网络赠款（SNG）的创新塑料材料和制造工艺网络（NIPMMP），（ii）由加拿大创新基金会前沿基金（CFI-LEF）资助的微孔塑料工业应用中心（CIAMP），以及（iii）多孔和微孔塑料联盟（CCMCP）及其20多个行业赞助商。微孔塑料是由非常细的气泡（小于10微米，泡孔数密度大于1 E +9个泡孔/cc）组成的高级聚合物泡沫。与它们的未发泡对应物相比，微孔塑料通常表现出基本上上级的机械性能，包括冲击强度、韧性和疲劳特征。它们保持了标准塑料所需的功能和/或结构特性。它们还具有出色的隔热、隔音、热稳定性、光学性能和表面质量。研究项目的成功完成将为加拿大的经济和环境做出重大贡献。除了其上级性能所提供的显著优势外，微孔塑料技术及其环保发泡剂还可以减少材料消耗和产品重量。这将使我们的加拿大制造基地在国际市场上具有巨大的竞争优势，从而创造可持续的就业机会，减少汽车燃料消耗，并取代危险的发泡剂。
