In injection molding thermoplastic resin compositions containing reinforcing materials and/or fillers, high quality molded articles superior in surface gloss and exhibiting substantially no surface defect can be obtained, by employing a technical measure, in which only superficial layer of the inner wall surface of the mold is selectively heated, by high-frequency induction heating, to a temperature above the heat distortion temperature of the thermoplastic resin composition employed prior to injection molding and cooling and solidifying the resin.

Injection molded articles with improved surface characteristics

Injection molded articles with improved surface characteristics,

A molding material structure of a thermoplastic resin composition comprising (1) at least one pillar-shaped body made of a bundle of glass fiber filaments and a non-oriented thermoplastic resin and (2) an outer covering layer of an oriented thermoplastic resin compatible with the resin in said inner body is found to produce molded articles in which glass fiber filaments are dispersed uniformly in the resin matrix with longer average length to improve various properties of molded articles, especially impact strength.
