A molding die and a molding method are provided, which allow high-cycle manufacturing of molded bodies of a thermoplastic resin or thermoplastic resin-fiber composite material, thereby improving productivity. Molding is performed using a molding die including a plurality of die portions that form a cavity in which a molded body is molded, the molding die including: a first temperature adjusting unit disposed in the vicinity of the cavity surface and capable of at least cooling the cavity surface; and a second temperature adjusting unit disposed on a side of the first temperature adjusting unit opposite from the cavity surface and capable of at least heating the cavity surface, wherein a distance Lfrom the cavity surface to the first temperature adjusting unit and a distance Lfrom the cavity surface to a surface of the corresponding die portion opposite from the cavity surface satisfy the relationship: (L/L)&#x3e;3.

Molding die and compression molding Method

A method for producing a condensation polymerization reaction polymer, comprising a guide polymerization step in which a molten prepolymer is supplied to the top edge of a wire guide to obtain the condensation polymerization reaction polymer, the wire guide comprising a vertical wire group consisting of a plurality of vertical wires extending in the vertical direction, which are mutually spaced in alignment at an arrangement pitch L1 (mm). In the guide polymerization step, the molten prepolymer aggregates so that a molten prepolymer mass is formed on the vertical wire, and a molten prepolymer mass is formed wherein, the width of the molten prepolymer mass measured in an alignment direction of the vertical wires at a position 200 mm below the top edge being represented as L(mm), the width Lof at least a portion of the molten prepolymer mass satisfies the inequality (1).L1&#x3c;L2&#x2003;&#x2003;(1)

Process for producing polycondensation polymer, and polymerizer

A polycarbonate thin molded article containing a resin composition, the resin composition containing: 100 parts by weight of a resin (A), the resin (A) being an aromatic polycarbonate or a resin mainly containing an aromatic polycarbonate; 0.1 to 200 parts by weight of an inorganic compound (B); 0.001 to 10 parts by weight of at least one compound (C) selected from an organic acidic compound and an organic acidic compound derivative; and 0.001 to 1 part by weight of at least one metal salt (D) selected from an organic acid alkali metal salt and an organic acid alkaline earth metal salt, a part corresponding to at least 50% of the surface area of the polycarbonate thin molded article having a thickness of less than 0.7 mm, and a shrinkage ratio S1(%) in a molding flow direction of the polycarbonate thin molded article upon its being left under an atmosphere of 170&#xb0; C. for 30 minutes satisfying the following formula (1):&#x2212;60&#x3c;1&#x3c;&#x2212;1&#x2003;&#x2003;formula (1).

Aromatic polycarbonate molded article and resin composition

A process for forming a molded article having a multilayer structure which comprises successively injecting melts of at least two materials into the cavity portion of a mold, solidifying a part thereof in the cavity portion to form the multilayer structure, characterized in that as a first step, one of the molten materials is injected into the cavity portion and the portion of the injected molten material contacting with the mold surface is solidified to a predetermined thickness to form a skin layer; as the second step, the next molten materials is fed into the cavity, the unsolidified portion of the molten material previously fed is pushed out of the cavity and a part of the thus fed molten material is cooled and solidified from the surface of the mold to form the next layer; and the procedure of the second step is successively repeated using the remainder of the molten materials alternately, and the molded article produced by the above molding process.

Moulding process and article produced by the process

Disclosed is a method for the injection molding of a resin to produce a shaped resin article having a thick portion biasedly, wherein an excess filling of the cavity of a mold is effected to form a molten resin mass having opposite, first and second surfaces respectively facing opposite, first and second inner walls of the mold cavity, the mold having a specific structure in which a gas-release passage is formed in association with the mold cavity and with a mating surface of the mold, which gas-release passage has an inner opening in an inner wall surface of the mold cavity and communicates with the outside of the mold, and a pressurized gas is introduced into the mold cavity on a side of the first surface of the molten resin mass, thereby forming a closed space which is filled with the pressurized gas and separated from the gas-release passage through the molten resin mass, so that the pressurized gas filled in the closed space urges the second surface of the molten resin mass to be pressed against the second inner wall of the mold cavity.

Method for the injection molding of a resin

An injection moulding process for moulding a material in a mould having a mould cavity and at least one channel communicating with the mould cavity, each channel entering the mould at a respective mould inlet includes the steps of heating inner surface areas of the mould to a temperature above the heat distortion temperature of the material; supplying the molten material into the mould by way of at least one channel and subjecting the molten material to a propelling force, sufficient to propel it through the channel into the mould; causing the molten material in the mould to solidify; applying periodic forces to the material in the mould at a plurality of spaced-apart regions, first and second of the regions being located either side of molten material in the mould cavity, the periodic force being applied with a difference in phase so as to cause shear of molten material within the mould cavity between the first and second regions; cooling the mould below the heat distortion temperature of the resin while or after applying the periodic force; and then opening the mould, and removing the moulded article.
