Abstract: Provided is a composite member that has a member containing a fluorine-containing resin and a member containing a thermoplastic resin and demonstrates superior adhesiveness. The composite member is obtained by directly contacting a first member containing a thermoplastic polyurethane and a polyamide elastomer and a second member containing a fluorine-containing resin.

Abstract: An in-mold coating method for molding a molded product with an excellent external appearance. A resin molded product is kept pressed against a mold cavity surface until immediately before coating. Mold-clamping force in a second step in which the shape of the resin molded product is fixed and that in a fourth step are selected so that the deformation of the mold cavity by the mold-clamping forces is substantially the same in the second and fourth steps. Even if the mold cavity deforms by the mold-clamping force in the second step, the mold cavity deforms similarly in the fourth step to provide a uniform coating thickness. Alternatively, a mold-clamping force smaller than that in the first step is selected for the second step to reduce the degree of deformation of the mold cavity and to achieve a uniform coating thickness.

Abstract: A process producing an in-mold coated molded product. The process molds a thermoplastic resin material under a mold-clamping pressure in a mold including a fixed mold part and a movable mold part each heated at a predetermined temperature, separates the fixed mold part and the movable mold part when the molded material surface is solidified such that it is durable to a pressure of injection and flow of a coating agent, and injects the coating agent containing a thermosetting resin material between an inner surface of the mold and the molded product obtained. The process also coats the molded product surface with the coating agent as the mold is re-clamped after injecting the coating agent, takes out the molded product coated with the coating agent when the coating agent is cured such that it is neither peeled off nor cracked by opening the mold, and re-heats the molded product after taking it out.

Abstract: An in-mold coat-forming mold and an in-mold coat-forming method are provided, wherein the mold prevents leakage of a coating material for the long term, which is likely to occur when the in-mold coat-forming method is carried out. By disposing a grove, a pressure piece, or both of them so as to serve as coating-material leakage-preventing means, in the vicinity of the edge of a mold cavity adjacent to a shear-structured engaging portion disposed along the circumference of the mold cavity, a coating material is prevented from leaking out of the mold from the engaging portion, and problems such as an adverse affect on a formed product caused by the leaked coating-material and a damage on the mold are prevented, whereby in-mold coat-forming is stably performed for the long term.
