The present disclosure provides an injection molding apparatus, including a fixed mold component, a movable mold component, a first positive electrode module, and a first negative electrode module. The fixed mold component has an injection port and a transmission runner, to receive injection-molding melt. The movable mold component has a molding groove communicated with the transmission runner. The first positive electrode module and the first negative electrode module are disposed on a first side and a second side of the molding groove respectively, where the first side and the second side are opposite to each other. The first positive electrode module cooperates with the first negative electrode module to form an electric field between the first side and the second side of the molding groove, to perform electric field excitation on the injection-molding melt flowing into the molding groove.

A mold (1) for injection-compression molding includes a punch (2) and a matrix (3) suitable to close on the punch (2) to delimit with this an injection chamber (10) to contain the material to be injected. The matrix (3) and punch (2) are axially movable between them with respect to an axial direction (Y-Y) of opening/closing of the mold (1). The mold has a perimetral ring (4) slidingly associated to the punch (2) or the matrix (3), along the axial direction (Y-Y), suitable to define, together with the matrix (3) and the punch (2), the profile of the injection chamber (10). The perimetral ring (4) includes an interface profile (43) engaging with the matrix (3) or with the punch (2), equipped with a particular geometry generating in the closing phase of the mold (1), a compression force of the ring (4) towards the inside of the mold (1).

A method for continuously manufacturing molded products by repeating a plurality of molding cycles includes, in each molding cycle, filling a resin composition into a mold, pressing the resin composition in the mold, cooling the resin composition in the mold using cooling water, and releasing the resin composition from an interior of the mold to obtain a molded product. An A-th molding cycle of the plurality of molding cycles can be a delay cycle delayed from a B-th molding cycle. When the A-th cycle is the delay cycle, the flow rate of the cooling water flowing in the mold at the cooling step is decreased in the A-th cycle as compared with the B-th cycle.

According to one or more embodiments, a polymeric article includes a first polymeric layer defining a first portion and a second portion, the first portion having a first side and a second side opposing the first side, the first side being exposed to atmospheric air, and an ink layer and a second polymeric layer, the ink layer being positioned between the second polymeric layer and the second portion of the first polymeric layer.

A cable includes a lead having at least one wire, and a connector having at least one contact and a liquid-tight dielectric housing. The at least one contact is electrically connected to the at least one wire such that an electric current is conductible from the at least one wire into the at least one contact. A temperature-sensitive measuring resistor is contained in the housing and is electrically connected to the at least one wire such that at least a portion of the electrical current that is conductible into the at least one contact flows through the measuring resistor. A metallic element is disposed on the housing and thermally connected to the measuring resistor.

One-piece article obtained by injection molding, with at least one injection point, said article comprising a main body (20), having a body volume defined by the space within a surface forming an outer envelope, and at least one hook (21), preferably a field of hooks, obtained from the same molding of the main body of the molded article, the hook or each hook having a stem of longitudinal axis and a catching part projecting laterally from the stem, characterized in that the volume of the hooks is substantially smaller than the volume of the body, i.e. at least 100 times smaller, preferably at least 1000 times smaller, for example between 100 000 and 100 000 000 times smaller, than the volume of the body, and in that the width, or smallest transverse dimension, of the stems, measured transversely to the longitudinal axis, is smaller than the thickness of the main body, measured along the longitudinal axis of the stems.

Provided is a method of molding, by using a mold, a component including a metal plate and a thermoplastic resin containing a thermoplastic resin arranged on a surface on one side of the metal plate, the mold including at least a movable mold and a fixed mold including a support portion. Specifically, the molding method includes: an arranging step of arranging a premolded metal plate within the mold; a fixing step of fixing the metal plate by pressing the metal plate against the movable mold with use of the support portion; and a molding step including forming a cavity between the fixed mold and the metal plate by closing the mold, bringing the thermoplastic resin into close contact with the metal plate, and forming an exposed portion by exposing the metal plate out of the softened thermoplastic resin with use of the support portion. With this, without leakage of the thermoplastic resin, a joint region to a metal surface of another component can be reliably secured.

Fixed side molding dies are removed from fixed side molding dies insertion hole portions in accordance with the disconnection in the connection/disconnection while maintaining a contact state that a second transfer portion is in contact with a portion other than a fixed side optical functional surface of each molded article at the time of mold opening of a fixed die and a movable die. Thereby a first transfer portion is released from the fixed side optical functional surface.

The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a fiber-reinforced composite material molded article having high adhesive strength in a boundary portion between an insert portion comprising a fiber-reinforced resin substrate and an integrally molded portion molded integrally with the insert portion. A fiber-reinforced composite material molded article (1) containing reinforcing fibers and a thermoplastic resin and being provided with a first layer (23), a second layer (22), and a third layer (21) in this order, the thickness of each layer, the ratio of the total volume of reinforcing fibers (x2) having a fiber length of 3 mm to less than 100 mm with respect to the total volume of reinforcing fibers present in the layer, the ratio of the total volume of reinforcing fibers (y2) having a fiber length of 0.02 mm to less than 3 mm with respect to the total volume of reinforcing fibers present in the layer, and the volume content of fibers in each layer being controlled so as to be in specific ranges.

A method for making a thin wall component comprise: locating a film (40) in a mold cavity of a mold, wherein the mold cavity has an initial mold thickness, wherein the film comprises a base layer (41) and a pattern layer (42); injecting a molding material (60) into the mold cavity such that the molding material contacts the pattern layer, wherein the molding material comprises a polymeric material and a filler; compressing the mold to a final mold thickness that is less than the initial mold thickness, to form a molded product, wherein the pattern layer forms a surface of the molded product; and removing the molded product from the mold.
