Standard thermoplastics, such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), cannot be bonded with silicone rubbers in injection molding because of their low heat deflection temperature. In this study, we investigated ABS grades approved for medical applications to show how dynamic mold heating and various pretreatment methods for thermoplastic surfaces can be used to produce ABS-LSR test specimens. In addition, such components\u2019 sterilization effect on the adhesive bond will be shown.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym15193972","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,2]],"date-time":"2023-10-02T11:56:49Z","timestamp":1696247809000},"page":"3972","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["MC-Injection Molding with Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) for Medical Technology"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Mohammad Ali","family":"Nikousaleh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Material Engineering, Polymer Engineering, University of Kassel, 34125 Kassel, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ralf-Urs","family":"Giesen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Material Engineering, Polymer Engineering, University of Kassel, 34125 Kassel, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hans-Peter","family":"Heim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Material Engineering, Polymer Engineering, University of Kassel, 34125 Kassel, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-4082-5631","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Hartung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Material Engineering, Polymer Engineering, University of Kassel, 34125 Kassel, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Eyerer, P., Elsner, P., and Hirth, T.
