A method of fabricating a decorated molding article includes forming an all-in-one coating on a substrate and performing a curing step, thereby forming a composite layer structure with a protective effect, a color effect, and a bonding effect. The composite layer structure may form a molded film with better physical properties (e.g., higher hardness, better protection effect, and the like) after the blister molding process. Therefore, the molded film of the embodiments may be applied to a laser engraving process to form a variety of light-transmitting decorated molding articles.

A multilayer film and a decorative film, each of which is excellent in chipping resistance, exhibits favorable adhesive properties to a variety of resin materials, such as polypropylene and ABS, and a molded body provided with such a film. The multilayer film includes three layers of an impact absorption layer (a), a base material layer (b), and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer (c) disposed in this order, wherein a thermoplastic polymer composition constituting the impact absorption layer (a) is composed of at least one block copolymer containing a polymer block (X) containing a structural unit derived from an aromatic vinyl compound and a polymer block (Y) containing a structural unit derived from a conjugated diene compound, or a hydrogenated product thereof; and has a loss tangent (tan δ) at 11 Hz in a range of −50 to −20° C. of 3×10.sup.−2 or more.

A method of manufacturing an in-mold decorative molded article includes supplying an in-mold transfer foil to a metal mold, injecting and cooling a molding resin and taking out an molded article formed of the molding resin cooled and cured in the metal mold in which a clear layer and a transfer layer having a decorative figure in the in-mold transfer foil are integrated on the surface by opening the mold, molding the molded article integrally with a cutting portion not necessary for a target product inside the metal mold by the molding resin at an outer periphery of the product and arranging a boundary of a printing region of the clear layer in the in-mold transfer foil in the cutting portion so as to be larger than the outer periphery of the product.

In a decorative molding method a film having an uneven shape printed thereon and a film having a pattern printed thereon are separately supplied to a metal mold, the films are positioned separately, and a molding material is simultaneously injected into the metal mold to carry out injection molding. In a decorative molding apparatus for realizing the above method, a suction circuit for adsorbing each of the films on a film adsorption surface of the metal mold and an air blowing circuit for peeling off the films are disposed, and, after the injection molding, air blowing on each film is started separately from the start of opening of the metal mold, and the metal mold and the films are brought into a positive pressure state, then the molded article is taken out, a clamp jig is released to release the films, and the air blowing continues until the following patterns of the films are placed inside the metal mold.

Textured hardcoat films are disclosed for preferable use in film insert moulding. Texture in the hardcoat film is created through the use of a textured protective overlayer, which can impart texture to the curable coating of the hardcoat film. This process preferably avoids the need to alter the composition of the curable coating to allow for texture and preferably produces a hardcoat film with a matte and reduced-glare finish. An apparatus and a method embodying the invention are disclosed.

A defrosting system for a window, headlight, or taillight for a vehicle includes a polymeric substrate, an ink layer disposed on the substrate and comprising a conductive or resistive ink, and a film layer disposed on the ink layer such that the ink layer is between the film layer and the polymeric substrate layer.

The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a shell, comprising a decorative film, implementing a first step of molding a plastic material so as to form a first element. The invention is characterized in that the manufacturing process implements a second step that consists in applying a decorative film against a front face of the first element, then a third step of overmolding a plastic material over at least one portion of the decorative film and of the first element so as to hold the detective film between the first element and a second element of the shell.

An electronic assembly includes a substrate film for accommodating electronics, an electrical contact pad coupled to the substrate film, an electrically conductive member coupled to the electrical contact pad, and a material layer molded onto the substrate film to embed the elastic electrically conductive member.

A method for producing a plastic vehicle attachment part is described, such that a polymeric film is laid in an injection mold, the polymeric film having an opaque or semi-opaque imprint or a color pigmentation. The polymeric film is back injected with a polymeric covering part, wherein the polymeric covering part is optically transparent. A polymeric carrier part is sprayed at least on a part of the surface of the polymeric covering part facing away from the polymeric film. A protective layer is applied at least on the polymeric film.

A decorative resin molded article includes a resin sheet having, as formed on one side thereof, convex projections made of an ink containing a UV-curable resin and a colorant, and therefore having, on that one side thereof, a design of a color pattern and a concave and convex pattern synchronizing with each other, and a resin injection-molded body as laminated and integrated on the other side of the resin sheet through injection molding of a synthetic resin thereon.
