Understanding the relationship between injection molding parameters and the acoustic properties of polymers is crucial for optimizing the design and performance of acoustic-based polymer devices. In this work, the impact of injection molding parameters, such as the injection velocity and packing pressure, on the acoustic parameters of polymers, namely the elastic moduli, is studied. The measurements lead to calculating material parameters, such as the Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio, that can be swiftly measured and determined thanks to this method. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) was used as the molding material, and using PMMA LG IG 840, the parts were simulated and injection molded, applying a ‘design of experiment’ (DOE) statistical method. The results indicated a correlation between the injection molding process parameters and the acoustic characteristics, such as the elastic moduli, and a specifically decreasing trend with increase in the injection velocity. Notably, a relative decrease in the Young’s modulus by 1% was observed when increasing the packing pressure from 90MPa to 120MPa. Similarly, a decrease in the Poisson’s ratio of 2.9% was observed when the injection velocity was increased from 16mm/s to 40mm/s. This method can be used to fine-tune the material properties according to the needs of a given application and to facilitate the characterization of different polymer acoustic properties essential for acoustic-based polymer devices.
