A method of producing a sealed structure, the method including: preparing a substrate and a curable resin composition in a liquid form; and sealing the substrate with the curable resin composition, to form a sealed body including the substrate and a cured product of the curable resin composition. The sealing step includes: printing the curable resin composition onto the substrate, to cover the substrate with a first coating film of the curable resin composition; and compression-molding the first coating film and the substrate together using a mold, with a pressing surface of the mold abut against the first coating film, to convert the first coating film into a second coating film. A ratio of a projected area S1 of the first coating film onto the substrate to a projected area S2 of the second coating film onto the substrate: S1/S2 is 0.9 or more.

An active grille shutter system (AGS) that is assembled from modular components, thereby allowing the AGS to be any desired width or height when assembled. This allows for the creation of different sized AGS for different vehicle platforms, while assembling the AGS from a stock of components that is common to each AGS. The invention is also directed to a method of forming a base integrated end cap with moveable vane retainers and a link arm using a two shot molding process.

A tool for use in an injection molding process. The tool having: a first part configured to receive a dose of a first material; a second part configured to receive a dose of a second material, the second material being different from the first material, wherein the tool is configured so that the first material and the second material are injected into the tool simultaneously.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a three-dimensional modeled article having high dimensional precision, high strength, and high ductility, and a resin composition for a three-dimensional modeled article, the resin composition being used to fabricate the three-dimensional modeled article, and of providing a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional modeled article.

A method is provided for manufacturing recyclable inorganic paper, which has a composition comprising 60-85 wt % mixture of natural inorganic mineral powders, inorganic glass powders, and sand powders, 5-40 wt % bonding agent of polypropylene (PP), and 1-5 wt % assisting agents, through the following steps: feeding and mixing of the constituents of the composition; stirring and mixing the composition; pressing to cause bi-directional extension of the composition so as to form a sheet; subjecting the sheet to operation of a high density squeezing machine for further mixing and pressing the sheet; reversely turning and shaping the sheet for further extension of the sheet; and continuous compression and extension of the sheet to induce further bi-directional extension of the sheet in both lateral and longitudinal direction and to control thickness of the sheet.

A method is provided for manufacturing recyclable environment-friendly organic paper, in which a biomass plastic material, which is one of a biodegradable plastic (such as PLA), a biobased plastic (such as NPP), and a mixture of the two is used as a primary raw material, and the biomass plastic material and an inorganic mineral material (such as inorganic glass powder, mineral powder, and sand) and a bioplastic assisting agent (such as starch, apple pulp, egg shell, and the likes) are directly deposited into a compression and extension paper making machine to make environment-friendly organic paper. The environment-friendly organic paper so made does not contain fossil organic material (such as polypropylene), and thus no high temperature, smoke, and toxicant gases will be generated during burning and combustion and residuals of burning and combustion are primarily the natural inorganic minerals fraction can return to the earth and the nature.
