Provided are a decorative film including: a base film, a reflective layer which contains metal particles and a resin on one surface of the base film, and a colored layer which contains a colorant other than the metal particles on a surface of the reflective layer opposite to a side where the base film is provided; and a decorative molded body.

A method of manufacturing an in-mold decorative molded article capable of transferring a decorative pattern with target dimensions at a target position of a decorative molded article according to the present disclosure includes supplying an in-mold transfer foil to a metal mold, in which a clear layer having transparency and lower extensibility than a base material film is formed in the first layer on an in-mold raw fabric configured by forming a mold releasing layer and a primer layer on the base material film and a decorative figure is printed in the second and subsequent layers on the in-mold raw fabric, clamping the 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 the clear layer and a transfer layer having the 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.

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 plastic material for in-mold injection molding is disclosed. The plastic material includes polycarbonate, wherein a melt index of the plastic material is less than 28 g/10 min. A plastic product including the plastic material and a method for preparing the plastic material are further disclosed.

A color-changing container with two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional pattern is disclosed, which comprises a container body and at least one two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional pattern film. The material for making the container body is mixed with a thermochromic powder, a photochromic powder or the combination of thereof, making the color of the container body change along with the temperature change of the content or the brightness change in the environment. The two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional pattern film comprises a grating layer set on one surface of a transparent layer, and a pattern area printed partially on the other surface of the transparent layer and coated by a glue layer. Therefore, after the two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional pattern film is combined to the container body, the container body is not only has the effect of color change, but also has the different pattern changes in different angle or layer of the two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional pattern.

A method for manufacturing an electronic assembly and electronic assemblies are presented. The method includes obtaining a substrate film for accommodating electronics, providing at least an electrical contact pad to the substrate film, coupling an electrically conductive member to the electrical contact pad, and molding, such as injection molding, a material layer onto the substrate film to embed the elastic electrically conductive member utilizing a mold structure defining a cavity for molding. The elastic electrically conductive member is arranged to extend during the molding from the electrical contact pad through the cavity to be in contact with an element on a different side of the cavity with respect to the electrical contact pad for maintaining at least a part of the elastic electrically conductive member accessible after the molding to provide an electrical connection through the material layer to the electrical contact pad.

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 method of manufacturing an emergency lamp switch is provided. The method includes printing a symbol on a film using inks of a plurality of colors and injection-molding an emergency lamp switch body on a symbol print surface of the film. The symbol print surface is transferred to the emergency lamp switch body and the film from the emergency lamp switch body is removed.

A color-changing container with two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional pattern is disclosed, which comprises a container body and at least one two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional pattern film. The material for making the container body is mixed with a thermochromic powder, a photochromic powder or the combination of thereof, making the color of the container body change along with the temperature change of the content or the brightness change in the environment. The two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional pattern film comprises a grating layer set on one surface of a transparent layer, and a pattern area printed partially on the other surface of the transparent layer and coated by a glue layer. Therefore, after the two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional pattern film is combined to the container body, the container body is not only has the effect of color change, but also has the different pattern changes in different angle or layer of the two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional pattern.

A method for producing a plastic vehicle attachment part is described, wherein 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.
