title = "The effect of mold temperature on the surface phase morphology of injection molded thermoplastic elastomers",
abstract = "The surface phase morphology of thermoplastic elastomers can be affected by injection molding parameters. In this paper, the influence of mold temperature on the phase morphology of SEBS triblock copolymer was studied through tapping mode atomic force microscope (AFM) and 2D-Fast Fourier Transformation (2D-FFT) analysis. It was found that more orientation was present in the materials prepared using high mold temperatures. The orientation direction of the morphologies could be predicted by computer simulation. 2D-FFT analysis can be used to study the domain orientation and structure.",
