A foamed part, includes: a long glass fiber filled polymeric material, wherein the long glass fibers have an initial length before molding of the foamed part and a final length after molding of the foamed part; wherein a post-molding length of the long glass fibers in the foamed part is greater than or equal to a post-molding length of long glass fibers in a similarly dimensioned foamed part made without a pressurized plasticizing unit.

Foaming technology in long glass fiber filled materials

The disclosure is directed to a solid part, and a device and process of making the solid part. The process includes introducing a glass fiber filled polymeric material to a hopper of an injection molding machine, where the glass fibers have a pre-molding length, melting the glass fiber filled polymeric material to form a melt in a plasticizing unit, pressurizing the plasticizing unit of the injection molding machine with a blowing agent, dissolving the blowing agent into the melt, injecting the melt into a mold cavity up to 100% of volume, and forming the solid part.

Process for producing longer fibers in injection molded solid parts by dissolving of gas during plasticizing

A method for manufacturing a hollow overmolded polymeric article comprising: positioning a hollow polymeric structure () in a mold (); supporting the interior surface of the hollow polymeric structure; disposing a fibrous polymeric material () into the mold proximal to the outer surface of the hollow polymeric structure; overmolding the fibrous polymeric material onto to the outer surface of the hollow polymeric structure; opening the mold; and removing a hollow overmolded polymeric article comprising the fibrous polymeric material overmolded on the hollow polymeric structure.

Method and device for overmolding a fiber reinforced polymeric component

In an embodiment, a vehicle component for a vehicle can comprise: a carrier comprising a top portion, a bottom portion, a first side portion, and a second side portion; a cavity, wherein the cavity comprises a bottom cavity wall, cavity side walls, and a top portion of the cavity having an upper cavity wall; an insert covering at least a portion of the cavity and attached to the upper cavity wall, the bottom cavity wall, and/or the cavity side walls; and a cover attached to the carrier.
