  • Patent number: 6916545
    Abstract: A resin composition to be used as a material for a various part of an automotive vehicle. The resin composition comprises a copolymer (A) formed by copolymerization of a first unsaturated monomer (a) and a second mononer (b). The first unsaturated monomer has a functional group which is bondable by hydrogen bond to a hydroxyl group. The second monomer is copolymerizable with the first unsaturated monomer. A metal oxide (B) is dispersed in the copolymer and having hydroxyl groups and hydrophobic groups at surface of the metal oxide.

  • Patent number: 6903148
    Abstract: A resin composition of the present invention comprises a polymer having functional groups and a metal oxide surface modified to form functional groups at a surface of the metal oxide and dispersed uniformly in the polymer. The functional groups of the polymer and the functional groups of the metal oxide are ionically bondable to the metal oxide and the polymer, respectively, so that the polymer and the metal oxide are bonded by ionic bonds to each other.

  • Patent number: 6602062
    Abstract: Seed holes (h) are formed by discharging a pressure medium (G) in a resin body (R) injected in a cavity (4) of a die (MS1). By expanding the cavity (4), supplying the pressure medium (G) to the seed holes (h), a size of the resin body (R) is increased, making the seed holes grow, to have a molded resin plate (Vr1) made of the resin body increased in the size and formed with the seed holes grown to internal voids (Vd).

  • Publication number: 20030134130
    Abstract: For producing a modified silica composition, finely particulate silica with silanol groups is used. The finely particulate silica is so modified as to have a modification factor of 0.45 to 8 as expressed by the product (A×B) of the hydrophobic ratio (A) of its silanol groups and the total carbon number (B) of alkyl groups. It makes with a matrix resin a transparent resin composition of high transparency and rigidity which can make a thermoplastic resin laminate having an excellent appearance and suitable for application to a part for the exterior decoration of a vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20030108704
    Abstract: A resin composition to be used as a material of a part of an automotive vehicle. The resin composition comprises a matrix resin. Linkages of inorganic fine particles are uniformly dispersed in the matrix resin. Each linkage has hydroxyl groups and hydrophobic groups which are introduced by a hydrophobicity-providing treatment. The linkages take at least one of a chain-like form and a net-like form.

  • Patent number: 6530453
    Abstract: A flat acoustic resin insulator (A) is one-shot molded, with a sound absorbing structure composed of a rigid-connected combination of a plurality of independent sound absorbing cells each constituted with a mold cavity (C) defined by a rigid lateral wall (E), a rigid bottom wall (F), and a vibratory top surface layer (H), and an opening (B) formed through the surface layer (H) for acoustic external communication of the mold cavity (C). The opening (B) cooperates with the mold cavity (C) to serve for resonance absorption of sounds, and the surface layer (H) covering the mold cavity (C) serves for film-vibratory absorption of sounds. Characteristic curves of the resonance sound-absorption and the film-vibratory sound-absorption have their peaks at different audible frequencies and their slopes overlapping therebetween, with a superimposed sound-absorbing effect over a wide frequency range.
