A method of making a forming wheel includes mixing and melting an electrically conductive material, a latex rubber material, and a polycarbonate material to produce a weatherproof material mixture, blending carbon black with polyethylene to produce an electrically conductive additive, positioning an injection mold of the forming wheel in fluid communication with an exit end of a heating barrel, injecting the weatherproof material mixture into an entry end of the heating barrel, introducing the electrically conductive additive through a lateral port of the heating barrel proximate to the exit end to partially mix with the weatherproof material mixture to produce an injection mixture, and injecting the injection mixture into the injection mold to produce the forming wheel.

The present invention relates to a new composite comprising glass or carbon fibers and polymer-based fibers as well as to a process for the preparation of the composite and molded articles made from said composite.

A method of manufacturing a composite connector for a fluid transfer conduit is provided which comprises applying continuous fibre reinforcement, oriented at least partially circumferentially and pre-impregnated with a thermoplastic polymer to a tubular mould portion which extends substantially parallel to a central axis C; applying at least one further mould portion to form a complete mould in which the continuous fibre reinforcement is enclosed and injecting a thermoplastic polymer into the mould to form a connector with a tubular hub portion and a flange portion which extends from the hub portion at an angle to the central axis C. The tubular hub portion comprises a tubular seal section with an inner layer and an outer wherein the inner layer comprises the continuous fibre reinforcement and the outer layer comprises the injected thermoplastic polymer.

A filler-containing resin molded product with a surface which includes irregularities which are transferred from a mold cavity to the surface and have an arithmetic mean roughness of 0.8 μm or greater and 10 μm or less and a peak arithmetic mean curvature of 400 [1/mm] or greater and 900 [1/mm] or less.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a resin molded body capable of appropriately and easily improving strength compared to the prior art. The resin molded body according to the present invention includes first phases (21, 24) in which convex and concave parts extend in substantially linear directions (D, E), observed within a measurement range (A) of 5 μm×5 μm arbitrarily selected on a resin cross section and the first phases account for 50% or more. The first phases are preferably in a crystalline state. A second phase made of an amorphous substance (25) is preferably interposed between the first phases.

The molding material of the present invention contains (A) resin and (B) filler, in which provided that a total amount of the molding material is 100 parts by volume, a content of the (B) filler is equal to or greater than 35 parts by volume and equal to or less than 80 parts by volume, the (B) filler contains (B1) fibrous filler and (B2) spherical filler, provided that a total amount of the (B) filler is 100 parts by volume, a content of the (B2) spherical filler is equal to or greater than 40 parts by volume and equal to or less than 95 parts by volume, and provided that a number-average fiber diameter of the (B1) fibrous filler is d, an average particle size of the (B2) spherical filler is within a range of equal to or greater than 2.5 d and equal to or less than 6.5 d.

Provided is an injection molding method for resin that contains reinforcing fiber, the method being capable of easily eliminating uneven distribution of added components. The injection molding method is provided with: a plasticizing step for supplying resin pellets P and added components to a cylinder equipped with a screw 10, which has a rotating axis as the center is capable of rotating normally and in reverse, and generating molten resin by rotating the screw 10 in the normal direction; and an injecting step for injecting the molten resin M comprising the added components into a cavity. In the plasticizing step, a reverse rotation operation for reversing the rotation of the screw 10 is performed or a screw-stopping operation of stopping the normal rotation of the screw 10 is performed with a prescribed timing and for a prescribed period.

The present invention relates to a pesticidal control device that includes at least one pesticidal active ingredient, cellulose fibers, and a polymer or polymer matrix. The combination of the cellulose fibers with the polymer allows for a higher loading of liquid pesticidal active ingredients within the pesticidal control device, maintains the active ingredient within the control device during transportation, storage and handling, and provides higher efficacy or control of pests during treatment. The pesticidal control device may be an ear tag, collar, or bee strip.

Embodiments herein relate to hollow profiles and methods of preparing the same for joining operations. A method herein can include placing a dam within a channel defined by the hollow profile, fitting a die block over an end of the channel, and injecting a flowable composition through an injection port into the channel. Another method can include defining a volume within a first member using at least one flow control device, filling the defined volume with a flowable polymeric composition, allowing the flowable polymeric composition to solidify to form a solid portion in the first member, and mechanically modifying the solid portion to define a joining surface suitable for joining to the second member. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Insert designed to be included in a part moulded by injection, comprising a body extending along a longitudinal axis of the insert, and a base situated at one end of the body and provided with at least one plate comprising at least one pass-through opening, at least one pass-through opening of the base being oriented in an inclined direction with respect to the longitudinal axis of the insert.
