Abstract
This paper presents the development of a new polymer matrix composite (PMC) feedstock material by the injection molding machine. The material consists of iron powder filled in an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and surfactant powder (binder) material. In this study, the effect of powder loading and binder content on the mechanical properties was investigated experimentally. The detailed formulations of compounding ratio by Brabender Mixer and injection molding machine of the sample specimen was used with various combinations of the new PMC material. Based on the result obtained, it was found that, higher powder loading of iron filler affected the hardness, tensile and flexural strength of PMC material. With 32% iron powder loading in ABS composites increase the flexural force, maximum stress and force of PMC material through an injection molding process.
