Fabrication and analysis of injection molded plastic microneedle arraysHamilton, Jordan David 24 January 2011 (has links)
This thesis describes the fabrication of plastic microneedle devices, their fabrication by injection molding, and analysis of the penetration mechanics. Injection molding is an economical mass-production technique that may encourage widespread adoption of microneedles for drug delivery.
Four polymers were injection molded into hexagonal and square patterns of between 91 and 100 needles per array. The patterns and geometries were chosen to study the effect of needle spacing and array design on penetration force. Two needle spacings of approximately 1 mm and 1.5 mm were employed for both patterns. Molded parts showed tip radii below 15 microns, heights of 600 to 750 microns, and an included angle of approximately 30 degrees.
An economic analysis performed of the injection molded polymer devices showed that they can be manufactured for approximately $0.10 - $0.179 per part, which should be low enough to gain market acceptance. The added benefits of low pain perception, improved drug delivery for certain treatments, and the possibly of being recyclable make
injection molded micro-needle devices a desirable alternative to silicon or metal microneedles.
Penetration tests were performed with plastic micro-needle arrays and arrays of steel needles of the same spacings and patterns. Silicone rubber with mechanical properties similar to human skin was used as a skin simulant. The results showed that the micro-needles penetrated skin to depths between 120 and 185 microns depending on
pattern, spacing, tip radius and needle length. This depth is sufficient to deliver drug therapies, but not so far that they stimulate the nerve endings present beyond 130 microns inside the dermis layer in human skin.
An analytical model was developed to estimate the effects of various microneedle and skin characteristics on penetration force. The model was based on literature sources and derived from test results. The model accounted for coefficient of friction, tip radius, tip angle, and needle spacing, as well as the skin mimic's mechanical properties such as elastic modulus, mode I fracture toughness, and puncture fracture toughness. A Monte Carlo simulation technique was used to correct for errors in needle length and testing angle. Comparison of the experiments to the model showed good agreement.

Development of Innovative Gas-assisted Foam Injection Molding TechnologyJung, Peter Ungyeong 10 January 2014 (has links)
Injection molding technology is utilized for a wide range of applications from mobile phone covers to bumper fascia of automotive vehicles. Foam injection molding (FIM) is a branched manufacturing process of conventional injection molding, but it was designed to take advantage of existing foaming technology, including material cost saving and weight reduction, and to provide additional benefits such as improvement in dimensional stability, faster cycle time, and so on. Gas-assisted injection molding (GAIM) is another supplemental technology of injection molding and offers several advantages as well. This thesis study takes the next step and develops innovative gas-assisted foam injection molding (GAFIM) technology, which is the result of a synergistic combination of two existing manufacturing technologies, FIM and GAIM, in order to produce a unique thermoplastic foam structure with proficient acoustic properties. The foam structure manufactured by GAFIM consists of a solid skin layer, a foam layer, and a hollow core; and its 6.4-mm thick sample outperformed the conventional 22-mm thick polyurethane foam in terms of the acoustic absorption coefficient. With respect to foaming technology, GAFIM was able to achieve a highly uniform foam morphology by completely decoupling the filling and foaming phases. Moreover, the additional shear and extensional energies from GAFIM promoted a more cell nucleation-dominant foaming behavior, which resulted in higher cell density and smaller cell sizes with both CO2 and N2 as physical blowing agents. Lastly, it provided more direct control of the degree of foaming because the pressure drop and pressure drop rate was controlled by a single parameter, that being the gas injection pressure. In summary, innovative, gas-assisted foam injection molding technology offers not only a new strategy to produce acoustically functioning thermoplastic foam products, but also technological advantages over the conventional foam injection molding process. Gas-assisted foam injection molding can become the bedrock for more innovative future applications.

A Checklist for Plastic Product Design: Preventing Pitfalls in a Design Process and Premature Failures of Plastic ProductsKaartinen, Johanna January 2014 (has links)
Designing an injection molded plastic part requires optimizing the part with respect to various stakeholders’ needs throughout its life cycle. The conditions in which a product is operating in service are often inadequately understood or specified, resulting in wrong material selection, which in turn leads to failure when the product is used. Many aspects interrelate with the initial part design and the essential rules of each should be taken into account to ensure a well-functioning plastic product. Regardless, a part design often passes sequentially from concept development to the manufacturing phase with features that unnecessarily complicate production, add costs and weaken the intended embodiment of the product. Therefore, a checklist was developed to ensure that oversights do not happen and verify that a design fulfills the requirements set for it. The commissioning company in the project was the design office Sytyte Oy. The aim of this thesis work was to investigate the effects of design decisions on the product’s feasibility and performance in service. The study focused on the underlying reasons for failures in plastic products, failure phenomena and ways of preventing them. The project started with literature research. To support the theoretical review, a small-scale survey was conducted among operators in plastic industry in Finland to strengthen the outcome of the project. The findings from the research were compiled into a checklist. The approach into the list was adopted from the FMEA method aiming to create a stripped-down version of it. The result offers a tool for anticipating and spotting possible failures by bringing up the influences that most frequently affect the part performance. It contributes to preventing delays in processing and premature failures in service. The checklist was verified by specialist consultation to receive suggestions and requirements for improvements and to ensure its reliability.
