Abstract
This paper analyses the influence of processing temperatures of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyamide 6.6 (PA 6.6) and polyoxymethylene (POM) on some electrical properties when injecting items used in the automotive industry. The ABS specimens were made at the following injection temperatures: 220, 230, 240 and 250°C. The PA 6.6 specimens were made at the following injection temperatures: 280, 290, 300, 310 and 320°C. The POM specimens were made at the following injection temperatures: 180, 190, 200, and 210°C. The determination of electrical properties were carried out using the methods for determining the relative permittivity and the dielectric dissipation factor using zero method with Schering bridge. It was found in the three polymers analysed that the temperature rise processing by injection leads to insignificant changes in relative permittivity (er) and dielectric dissipation factor (tgd).
