Compression molding is a manufacturing process in which the molding material is preheated then placed in an open mold cavity where the compressive action of the punch forces the polymer into the desired shape as shown in the figure below. Based on your understanding of the behavior of polymers, which of the statements below regarding compression molding of polymers are accurate? Punch Cavity C. -Upper mold half Charge 41 (1) -Lower mold half Knock-out pin V, F |x.F (2) and (3) Molded part a. Lower operating temperatures are more desirable as they reduce viscosity making it easier to fill the cavity b. This process can only be used for thermosets as they can thermally cure from monomer state This process can be used for both thermosets and thermoplastics as they can both be thermally shaped d. This process is suitable for rubber, PVC and polymethyl methacrylate
Which of the statements below are accurate regarding the stress-strain behavior of polymers: (This question has more than one correct answer) а.

The stress-strain curve for vulcanized elastomers has a greater slope than unvulcanized polymers throughout
