Abstract

Mechanical behaviors and thermoforming features of plastic material PMMA-IRK-304 used in-mold decoration are studied in this paper. Dynamic mechanical analysis experiments, uniaxial tension tests at several high temperatures and different stretching velocity were carried out to analysis and explain the phenomenon of yielding, strain softening and strain hardening. Results showed that the glass transition temperature range of PMMA-IRK-304 films was suitable for thermoforming of in-mold decoration.
