      Composites.

AB  - The fabric insert injection molding approach can be applied to produce easily 
      recyclable self-reinforced polymer composites (SrCs) whose reinforcement and 
      matrix are from the same polymer. However, the mechanical properties of the SrCs 
      are usually limited due to the poor impregnation of the inserted fabric. In this 
      work, the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fabrics were used as 
      the insert, and the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) melt was injected to fill 
      the mold cavity and impregnate the fabrics. The UHMWPE/HDPE two-component SrCs 
      were prepared. The large difference of melting temperatures between UHMWPE and 
      HDPE can establish a wide processing temperature window, and thus the 
      impregnation of the fabric can be improved by increasing temperature. The tensile 
      strength and modulus of the UHMWPE/HDPE SrCs were up to 148 and 1132 MPa, 
      respectively. The peel strength could be up to 35.2 N/cm. The influences of four 
      main injection molding parameters, including the injection temperature, injection 
      pressure/packing pressure, injection velocity, and packing time, were 
      investigated. The temperature, pressure, viscosity, and density of the matrix in 
      the mold cavity were calculated by the numerical simulation to indicate the 
      impregnation process during the fabric insert injection molding process.
