Dynamic injection processing experiments have been carried out on polypropylene using the self‐made electromagnetic dynamic plastics injection molding machine, and the effects of the vibration force field on mechanical properties of molding samples are studied, namely, the influence of vibration frequency and vibration amplitude on the mechanical properties of samples are researched by using tensile testing, impact testing, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and scanning electronic micrograph (SEM) techniques. The results show that the tensile strength and impact strength are both enhanced and the melting point shifts toward the higher temperature, which facilitates the perfection of crystal. The best vibration parameters for processing polypropylene using electromagnetic dynamic plastics injection molding machine are that frequency is from 3 to 9 Hz and amplitude is from 0.1 to 0.4 mm. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
