Technologies are generally described for hair accessories and methods to make a material for repelling lice. The hair accessories may comprise a lice repellent oil infused within an injection molded plastic material. The infused injection molded plastic material may be in the shape of a hair accessory. The methods to make a material for repelling lice may comprise placing a plastic material into a mixing chamber. The methods may comprise placing a lice repellent oil into the mixing chamber. The methods may comprise mixing the plastic material and the lice repellent oil in the mixing chamber to produce an infused plastic material. The methods may comprise feeding the infused plastic material into a hopper of an injection molding machine. The methods may comprise forming the material for repelling lice by injection molding of the infused plastic material.

A fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin molded article includes 5 to 45 parts by weight of carbon fibers (A), 1 to 45 parts by weight of organic fibers (B), and 10 to 94 parts by weight of a thermoplastic resin (C), based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the carbon fibers (A), the organic fibers (B), and the thermoplastic resin (C). The carbon fibers (A) in the fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin molded article have an average fiber length (L.sub.A) of 0.3 to 3 mm. The organic fibers (B) in the fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin molded article have an average fiber length (L.sub.B) of 0.5 to 5 mm, and a number average fiber diameter (d.sub.B) of 35 to 300 m. The fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin molded article is excellent in impact strength and surface appearance.

The invention relates to a process for the production of thermoplastic moulding compounds, in particular for the production of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), wherein at least a first reagent (11) and a second reagent (12) of the thermoplastic moulding compounds are fed to a loop conduit (29) which comprises a static mixer (36), wherein the reagents (11, 12) are pressed in loops through the loop conduit (29) and passing the static mixer (36), whereby the reagents (11, 12) are dispersed to form a dispersion (15) in the static mixer (36). The invention also relates to a thermoplastic moulding compound that is produced by the inventive process.

The invention relates to a process for the production of thermoplastic moulding compounds, in particular ABS, wherein at least a first reagent (11) and a second reagent (12) of the thermoplastic moulding compounds are fed to a gear pump (10) which comprises a housing and at least a first gear wheel that is rotatable relative to the housing about a first axis, and a second gear wheel that is rotatable relative to the housing about a second axis, wherein a loop conduit (29) is provided, and wherein the reagents (11, 12) are pressed in a loop through the loop conduit (29) and passing the gear wheels, whereby the reagents (11, 12) are dispersed to form a dispersion (15) in the gear pump (10). The invention also relates to a thermoplastic moulding compound that is produced by the inventive process.

Molded bodies formed from PA-12 resin lose elasticity by absorbing water and lose strength as a result. Due to this, application to only some products used in low humidity environments is possible, which is a problem that needed to be addressed. This resin powder material, for use in powder laminate molding methods, is characterized in that the resin powder is a polybutylene terephthalate resin which has a crystallization temperature lower than that of homopolybutylene terephthalate resins.

The invention at hand relates to a rotor disk (1) to be inserted into a receptacle (2) for the treatment of polymers, having a disk body (3) on whose top side (4) mixing and/or comminuting tools (5) are providable and on whose opposite underside (6) a number of conveying ribs (7) extending from the interior to the exterior are provided with which during operation polymer particles are transportable towards the exterior or, respectively, that during operation exert a force directed from the center (8) of the rotor disk (1) towards the exterior on the polymer particles grasped by the conveying ribs (7). In accordance with the invention it is provided that the conveying ribs (7) are curved concavely in the direction of rotation or, respectively, of movement.
