Abstract
The conventional injection molding of polypropylene is introduced in the related chapter. This chapter extends the subject of injection molding of polypropylene with the addition of shear-controlled orientation in injection molding (SCORIM), which has proved to be an excellent way of managing the morphology and hence the physical properties of polypropylene [1, 2].
