A process for producing a plastic lens includes a step of stirring and mixing a solution including a polymerization reactive compound in a preparation tank; a step of transferring the polymerizable composition obtained in the step from the preparation tank to a lens casting mold; a step of curing the polymerizable composition; and a step of obtaining a plastic lens molded product by separating the obtained resin from the lens casting mold. The step of transferring the polymerizable composition includes a step of re-mixing the polymerizable composition discharged from the preparation tank and injecting the polymerizable composition into the lens casting mold.

A brush roller and its manufacturing method and brush roller mold is provided, the brush roller is manufactured by foaming a gaseous pore filler, while solving the problem of using a solid pore filler foaming method to manufacture the brush roller. In addition, the brush roller of the present invention has a plurality of fluid channels communicating between any adjacent two, and the plurality of fluid channels respectively extend to the surface of the brush roller to form pores to improve the fluid permeability of the brush roller, and in the brush roller manufacturing method of the present invention, after the PVA emulsified solution is cured, the compressive stress under the condition of the predetermined compression ratio can be formed to meet the expected brush roller, and it can be used to brush the circuit substrate.

The present invention provides an environmentally-friendly, fully recyclable composite mining screen which has sufficient rigidity to replace existing metal and metal covered plastic mining screens. The inventive composite screen insert contains stiff reinforcing fibers (glass, carbon, etc.) and exhibits the rigidity of metal and metal-covered plastic mining screen inserts so as to minimize deflection in use. The inventive mining screen is also completely recyclable because at the end of its useful life, the broken and used screen can be ground into polymer particles and the particles incorporated into new screens or other parts.
