Disclosed are processes for In-Mold coating of a substrate. The processes include: introducing a curable composition to a mixhead at a first elevated pressure, the curable composition comprising a first polymeric component and a second polymeric component, the introducing of the curable composition to the mixhead comprising mixing the first and second polymeric components by impingement to form an intermediate composition; introducing the intermediate composition to a secondary mixer, the introducing of the intermediate composition to the secondary mixer comprising mixing the intermediate composition to form a coating composition; and introducing the coating composition into a mold containing a substrate to form a curable coating on a surface of the substrate.

The present invention relates to an injection mold, an injection molding machine including the injection mold, and a method of manufacturing an injection-molded product using the injection molding machine. More specifically, the present invention relates to an injection mold including a mold having a mold surface on which one or more deposition layers are formed, wherein the deposition layer includes a fluororesin homopolymer or polyether ether ketone (PEEK); an injection molding machine including the injection mold; and a method of manufacturing an injection-molded product using the injection molding machine.

A mold for manufacturing a body made of a porous material derived from precursors of the porous material in a sol-gel process carried out within the mold can have a lower part defining an interior volume for receiving the precursors of the porous material, wherein the interior volume defines the shape of the body to be manufactured, and at least a first opening through which the body is removable from the lower part. Surfaces of the lower part facing the interior volume are at least partially provided with a coating made of a material that is electrically dissipative and non-sticky to a gel formed from the precursors of the porous material and/or the body.

The present invention provides a method for reducing a drawing force in a forming process of a photocurable material by adding a radical scavenger capable of terminating free radical polymerization into a substrate for carrying the photocurable material. The method comprises: providing a mold release composition at least comprising a radical scavenger and a molding agent; and forming a mold release film from the mold release composition by curing forming or by combining with an upper surface of a plate, thereby preparing the substrate. In this way, during the light curing reaction of the photocurable material by irradiation with a light source, the radical scavenger in the upper surface of the substrate contacting with the photocurable material can react with free radicals in the photocurable material, such that the photocurable material forms an uncured layer for which light curing does not occur on the upper surface of the substrate.

The invention relates to a molding process wherein a green tire is formed and then molded within a tire mold, the tire mold having one or more moving elements configured to move at least into an open configuration and a closed configuration of the tire mold. The tire mold further comprises a mold cavity, and wherein the process comprises the step of injecting one or more gases in the mold cavity after the tire was cured and before opening the tire mold to retrieve the molded tire.
