Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a composite of a carbon nanomaterial and a metallic material which has a homogeneous composite metal structure and thixotropic properties by compositing a metallic material of a non-ferrous metal alloy with a carbon nanomaterial by using both stirring and ultrasonic vibration. The method comprises compositing the metallic material of the non-ferrous metal alloy with the carbon nanomaterial by adding the carbon nanomaterial in a state where the metallic material shows thixotropic properties by spheroidization of solid phase in a semi-solid state, and the compositing is performed by a process for stirring and kneading the semi-solid metallic material while keeping the temperature thereof at a solid-liquid coexisting temperature, and a process for dispersing the carbon nanomaterial to liquid phase between solid phases by ultrasonic vibration.

Abstract: To control the thickness of the skin layer of a composite resin molded product by a viscosity difference obtained by varying the viscosity by adding another ultra-minute substance to a raw resin material. The composite resin molded product comprising the skin layer formed of a first thermoplastic resin and the core layer formed of a second thermoplastic resin is molded by injection. The viscosity difference between the resins is controlled by adding a carbon nanomaterial to one or the other of the thermoplastic resins. The thickness of the skin layer is controlled by the viscosity difference. The first thermoplastic resin and the second thermoplastic resin are of the same kind or different kinds of resins.

Abstract: For observing a flow of molten resin in an injection molding apparatus, a transparent cylinder, which is formed of transparent glass or transparent plastic material, is used in place of a mold of the apparatus. Because filling the transparent cylinder with the molten resin up to the cylinder's full capacity will burst the cylinder, the molten resin injection is terminated on the way when the injected molten resin has occupied a predetermined percentage, in a range of 50–90%, of the total volume of the cylinder, so that a burst of the cylinder can be avoided. The transparent cylinder provides for an increased resin-flow observation range because of its transparency, and can be less expensive because it is formed of inexpensive glass or plastic. As a consequence, there can be provided an efficient resin-flow observing experiment apparatus at lower cost.

Abstract: A carbon nano material and a resin binder are plasticized and injection molded to form a preliminarily molded member. The preliminarily molded member is degreased by a heat treatment and made to a preliminarily molded porous member composed of the carbon nano material. The preliminarily molded porous member is inserted into a cavity of a product mold. A molten low melting point metal is injected into and fills the cavity. The preliminarily molded porous member is impregnated with the low melting point metal by injection pressure, thereby a composite metal product composed of the low melting point metal material integrally composited with the carbon nano material is molded. With the above arrangement, the characteristics of the carbon nano material are applied to the composite metal product to improve the functions thereof.

Abstract: A low melting point metal material is made to a thixotropic state in which liquid phases and solid phases coexists. In the thixotropic state of the low melting point metal material, a carbon nano material is kneaded with the low melting point metal material and forms a composite material. Thus obtained composite material is supplied to a metal molding machine and injected into a mold in a thixotropic state or a completely molten state of the metal so that the composite material fills the mold, thereby the composite material is molded to a composite metal product. With the above process, it is possible to injection mold the composite metal product to which the characteristics of the carbon nano material are applied.

With the above process, it is possible to injection mold said granules to obtain the composite metal product to which the characteristics of the carbon nano material are applied.

Abstract: In a method for controlling an injection molding machine, a screw is advanced from an injection start position by means of velocity control, and when the screw reaches a control changeover point, pressure control is effected in place of the velocity control to apply pressure to the screw. Preliminary molding is performed to obtain an acceptable product; a total charged amount of resin during the preliminary mold is obtained on the basis of a movement distance over which the screw has moved before reaching the control changeover point during the preliminary mold; and the total charged amount is stored as a changeover target value. During ordinary molding, a total charged amount of resin is obtained on the basis of a movement distance over which the screw advances from the injection start position; and pressure control is started when the total charged amount reaches the changeover target value.

Abstract: A screw injecting apparatus includes a check valve mounted on the tip end portion of a screw and adapted to be opened and closed in response to rotation of the screw, and a control for controlling operation of the screw such that in a metering phase of molding process, the screw rotates in one direction to feed a melt of molding material toward the nozzle while the check valve is in an open state, when a metered amount of melt is accumulated forward of the tip end portion, the screw moves backward by a predetermined distance to reduce a reaction from the melt accumulated around the tip end portion, thereafter, the screw rotates in the reverse direction to close the check valve and cause the screw to advance until the amount of forward movement of the screw becomes substantially equal to the predetermined distance of backward movement achieved previously.
