Abstract: A method for making a metal-and-resin composite, including: providing a metal substrate made of stainless steel; forming a plurality of nano pores on a surface of the metal substrate by chemical etching the metal substrate; forming an intermediate layer on the metal substrate by dipping the metal substrate in a coupling agent solution, the intermediate layer filling at least portion of each nano pore; and forming a resin member by placing the metal substrate in a mold and molding molten resin on a surface of the intermediate layer, the resin member covering and bonding with the intermediate layer, treating the metal substrate with a coupling solution having a silane compound coupling agent to make the intermediate layer.

Abstract: A metal-and-resin composite includes a metal substrate having a plurality of nano pores, an intermediate layer formed on the metal substrate, and a resin member. The intermediate layer fills at least portion of each nano pore. The resin member covers and bonds with the intermediate layer, thus to bond with the metal substrate.

Abstract: A housing includes a main portion and at least one insulating portion. The main portion includes two portions, an inner surface and an outer surface opposite to the inner surface. The inner surface defines at least one groove. The outer surface defines at least one gap that is coupled to the at least one groove. The at least one insulating portion is corresponding to the at least one groove and each insulating portion is filled in one groove. The two portions of the main portion are positioned at two sides of the at least one gap and the two portions are insulated by the at least one gap and the at least one insulating portion.

Abstract: A housing used in an electronic device having an antenna, the housing includes a base and a non-conductive film. The base defines a slot corresponding to the antenna and forms a surface enclosing the slot. The non-conductive film is formed on a surface of the base, the non-conductive film is configured to be coupled to the antenna and insulated the antenna from the base. An electronic device employing the housing and a manufacture method of the housing are also provided.

Abstract: A housing includes a substrate and a decorative layer deposited on the substrate. The decorative layer includes chromium, iron, aluminum, chromium oxide, ferric oxide, and aluminum oxide. The chromium oxide, ferric oxide, and aluminum oxide distribute evenly among the chromium, iron, and aluminum respectively, such that the chromium, iron, and aluminum atoms are separated from each other. The decorative layer is electrically non-conductive and electromagnetically transmissive and gives the housing a mirror-like black and metallic appearance. An electronic device using the housing is also described.
