Purpose: The main purpose of this research was the estimation of the influence of processing conditions on dynamic mechanical properties moulidings made by Gas-Assisted Injection Moulding technology (GAIM). The research samples were cut from children cart holder - part made by gas-assisted injection moulding and tested using DMTA method. Design/methodology/approach: One of the modern testing methods was used - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis which is used very often to determinate dynamic mechanical properties and transformations of the structure of polymers and composites as well as parts manufactured from these materials. Findings: The impact of processing conditions used for manufacturing the parts made by gas-assisted injection moulding technology on mechanical properties of these parts were examined. The differences in storage modulus E' and loss factor tand were investigated. During the tests three of processing conditions were changed, on the base of the experimental plan generated in STATISTICA software, in Design of Experiment module. Research limitations/implications: The differences in storage modulus - E' and mechanical loss factor tgd were presented. The research carried out was limited to one material (Copolymer of polypropylene and polyethylene PP/PE included 10-14% of PE fraction) however during investigations some of processing conditions were changed. Practical implications: Received and presented results are very useful from the point of view of industrial applications and they can contribute to the quality improvement of the parts obtained using gas-assisted injection moulding technology. Gas flow in melt polymer in GAIM technology is very unpredictable and it causes many defects in produced parts. Originality/value: A new approach to the estimation of mechanical properties of moulded parts, produced using GAIM technology, gives information about the influence of the processing conditions on mechanical properties and quality of the parts.
