A rotomoulded product and a method of making a rotomoulded product via rotational moulding, the rotomoulded product including at least two layers of material that form a wall of the product, at least one of the layers including post-consumer recyclate (PCR), and at least one of the layers including virgin PE.

A macromolecule forming mold, which is integrally formed by a polymer body. Multiple communicated runners are formed inside the polymer body; a material injection port is penetrated in the surface of the polymer body, and the material injection port is communicated with the runners, so that a thermosetting castable fills the runners by means of the material injection port and is cured and molded, and the polymer body is damaged to take out a thermosetting elastomer. A thermosetting elastomer and a manufacturing method therefor. The thermosetting elastomer has the characteristics such as excellent physical properties and lightweight properties.

Rotational moulding machine (1) comprising a fixed frame (2), a support arm (3) comprising a first (4) and a second portion (5) rigidly joined together, the support arm (3) being rotationally fixed to the fixed frame (2) only at the first portion (4) to rotate about a first axis of rotation (101) substantially horizontal, a movable frame (6) rotationally fixed to the support arm (3) to rotate about a second axis of rotation (102) substantially perpendicular to the first axis of rotation (101), the movable frame (6) comprising a supporting portion (7) lying in a plane substantially perpendicular to the second axis of rotation (102), and an actuation system (8) rigidly fixed to the movable frame (6) at the supporting portion (7) and structured to secure a mould (20) and rotate the mould (20) about a third axis of rotation (103) substantially perpendicular to the second axis of rotation (102).

The present disclosure relates to liners and methods of making liners. The liners may be suitable for use with tanks and other storage/containment vessels, such as process tanks, immersion tanks, indoor or outdoor containment pits, gravity feed conduits (e.g., concrete trench, canal, or drain, etc.) for transferring or conveying liquid, grain storage tanks or containers (e.g., dielectric or electrically non-conductive liners for grain storage, etc.), etc.

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 molding apparatus for manufacturing a wind turbine blade component includes a main mold body (30) and a flexible bladder (38). The main mold body includes a shape defining surface (32) for receiving composite material forming the blade component and a heat reservoir (40) for heating the blade component during curing. The flexible bladder overlays and conforms to the shape of the blade component and is configured to receive heated liquid for heating the blade component during curing. One or both of the main mold body and the flexible bladder is divided into a plurality of zones (58, 66) that are independently controlled by a controller (70) to maintain a generally uniform temperature of the blade component at each zone.

An existing acoustic honeycomb panel having a radius of curvature is cut into segments that have longitudinal and lateral sides that extend between the edges of the honeycomb. The segments are bonded together along their longitudinal or lateral sides to form a segmented acoustic honeycomb in which the radius of curvature is different from the radius of curvature of the original acoustic honeycomb panel. The shape of the longitudinal or lateral sides of the segments and the thickness of the adhesive bond can be controlled to provide segmented acoustic honeycomb panels that are tightly curved and which are suitable for use in demanding noise damping applications, such as jet engine nacelles.

A method for forming a thermoplastic body having regions with varied material composition and/or porosity. Powder blends comprising a thermoplastic polymer, a sacrificial porogen and an inorganic reinforcement or filler are molded to form complementary parts with closely toleranced mating surfaces. The parts are formed discretely, assembled and compression molded to provide a unitary article that is free from discernible boundaries between the assembled parts. Each part in the assembly has differences in composition and/or porosity, and the assembly has accurate physical features throughout the sections of the formed article, without distortion and nonuniformities caused by variable compaction and densification rates in methods that involve compression molding powder blends in a single step.

The present disclosure relates to liners and methods of making liners. The liners may be suitable for use with tanks and other storage/containment vessels, such as process tanks, immersion tanks, indoor or outdoor containment pits, gravity feed conduits (e.g., concrete trench, canal, or drain, etc.) for transferring or conveying liquid, grain storage tanks or containers (e.g., dielectric or electrically non-conductive liners for grain storage, etc.), etc.
