A composite material molding method is provided for forming a composite material. The molding includes disposing carbon fiber in a cavity inside an openable and closable mold, injecting resin into the cavity in a state in which a clamping pressure is exerted on the mold and curing the resin. When a threshold value of the pressure inside the cavity is set to a pressure that is lower than the clamping pressure and the resin is injected into the cavity while exerting an injection pressure that is equal to or greater than the clamping pressure on the resin until the pressure inside the cavity reaches the threshold value. Then, after the pressure inside the cavity has reached the threshold value, the inside of the cavity is suctioned.

A finishing/covering element for a component in a vehicle passenger compartment has a front surface facing, in use, the inside of the passenger compartment and a rear surface facing, in use, the component on which the finishing/covering element is fitted; the finishing/covering element is manufactured by moulding a thermoplastic material in a mould, which has a first and a second forming surface facing one another; the first forming surface forms the outline of the front surface and is embossed so as to form a corresponding embossing on the front surface, without further treatments and/or coating operations and/or processing on the front surface after the moulding; at the same time, the moulded thermoplastic material comprises a thermoplastic polyurethane reinforced by reinforcement fibres.

In an injection molding method, using a heating cylinder having on the front end thereof a discharge nozzle, a single axis screw is rotatable inside the heating cylinder, a fiber-supplying device fills reinforcing fiber into the heating cylinder, and injection molding is performed while supplying the reinforcing fiber and the resin starting material separately and supplying the reinforcing fiber on the front side of the resin starting material. The method includes a plasticization process for obtaining a specified amount of a kneaded product by retracting the screw while rotating in the normal direction to melt the resin starting material and knead reinforcing fiber into the melted resin starting material, and an injection process for discharging the kneaded product from the discharge nozzle by advancing the screw. Reinforcing fiber is supplied into the heating cylinder in the injection process.

A method for manufacturing a main body of a faucet comprises separately molding a base body in which a valve V is installed, a first part in which a hot water passage and connecting portion are formed, a second part in which the cold water inlet and a connecting portion are formed, and a third part in which a water discharge port and connecting portion are formed, the base body and three parts being formed of a composition of ABS resin and glass fibers and combining the base body with the connecting portions of the three parts; integrating the base body and three parts into a main body of a faucet by overlaying the surfaces of the combined main body with ABS resin molten at temperate of 190° C. to 210° C. by injection molding process; and plating nickel-chromium on the exterior of the main body for protection of external molding portion.

A molding material for injection molding, extrusion molding or pultrusion molding, which contains carbon fibers having a fiber length of 2 mm or more and a thermoplastic resin, wherein (1) the molding material is a solid having a plane A.sub.1 and one or more other face B.sub.i, one or more cross sections of the carbon fibers are observed in at least one face B.sub.i, and the number of the cross sections of the carbon fibers per unit area observed in the face B.sub.i is twice or more the number of the cross sections of the carbon fibers per unit area observed in the plane A.sub.1, and (2) a ratio of fibers in which 50% or more of an outer peripheral surface of each carbon fiber is coated with the thermoplastic resin is from 80 to 100% to total carbon fibers.

A plunger for advancing a substance in a syringe toward a dispensing nozzle. The plunger has a plunger rod and a seal and being formed of a plastic composition. The plastic composition includes a polymer and a filler which is non-uniformly distributed within the polymer to provide the plunger rod and the seal with different mechanical properties depending on the filler content in the portions of the plastic composition plunger forming the rod and the seal. The invention preferably provides a dental syringe which can be conveniently used, and further helps minimizing costs in the manufacturing of the dental syringe.

Provided is a resin composition containing a resin (S) containing a polyarylene ether (A) modified with a functional group and a thermoplastic resin (B), and a carbon fiber (C).

A net-shaped composite plenum housing body for a differential assembly having a pump is disclosed. The plenum housing body can include a low pressure inlet and a high pressure outlet configured to receive a control valve. The plenum housing body can also define a fluid inlet channel in fluid communication with the low pressure inlet via a first internal port and can be configured to be in fluid communication with an inlet side of the pump when the plenum housing body is assembled onto the differential assembly. The plenum housing body can also define a fluid outlet channel in fluid communication with the high pressure outlet via a second internal port and can be configured to be in fluid communication with an outlet side of the pump when the plenum housing body is assembled onto the differential assembly. The plenum housing body can also be formed as a net-shape fiber reinforced plastic material including chopped fibers, for example, chopped fiberglass fibers, and an epoxy resin.

The present invention is relates to a fiber reinforced resin screw 10, 20 shaped using a resin composition containing reinforcing fiber in a resin. A pitch of threads has a length of 1.5 to 2 times of a standard pitch corresponding to an outer diameter of the threads prescribed in standards of a metric coarse screw, a unified coarse screw and a unified fine screw. An average fiber length of the reinforcing fiber is 1 to ⅓ times of the pitch of the threads in the fiber reinforced resin screw. A content rate of the reinforcing fiber is in a range of 20 to 80%. In this way, the fiber reinforced resin screw to have improved is provided in the strength of the thread.

The invention is directed to a process for the preparation of a reinforced article which comprises the step of molding a molding composition comprising pellets into the article at an elevated temperature, wherein each of the pellets has an axial length and comprises a core and a sheath around the core, wherein the core comprises an impregnating agent and a multifilament strand comprising glass fibers each having a length substantially equal to the axial length of the pellet and substantially oriented in the axial length of the pellet, wherein the sheath comprises a thermoplastic polymer; and wherein the molding composition further comprises a filler.
