Abstract: A composite middle frame for use in an electronic communication device includes at least two connecting layers. Each connecting layer is an endless structure. At least one of the connecting layers is made of plastic, and the remaining connecting layers are made of metal.

Abstract: A shell for at least one electronic device which is very resilient for everyday purposes and which in addition can restore itself after severe deformations by being heated includes at least one frame, the frame being made in one or more parts out of memory metal. The disclosure also provides a method for manufacturing the shell.

Abstract: A composite material includes a metal substrate, and a plastic member formed on a surface of the metal substrate. A material of the metal substrate is titanium or titanium alloys, and an acid treatment leaves nano-holes and protrusions on the surface of the metal substrate. The composite material further includes a combining layer between the metal substrate and the plastic member. The nano-holes are partially filled with the combining layer, the protrusions are partially surrounded by the combining layer. The disclosure further provides a method for making such composite material.

Abstract: A composite toughened against chipping during machining and other operations includes a substrate and a coating layer includes a substrate and a coating layer. The substrate is titanium or titanium alloys. Nano-holes are formed on a surface of the substrate. The coating layer completely fills in the nano-holes and completely covers the surface of the substrate where the nano-holes are not formed. The disclosure further provides a method for making such composite.

Abstract: A composite object with more complete and stronger adhesion between the constituent parts includes a substrate and a plastic member formed on a surface of the substrate. The substrate can be made of memory metal. Nano-holes are formed on the surface of the substrate. The composite further includes a combining layer. The combining layer is positioned between the substrate and the plastic member. The nano-holes are at least partially filled with the combining layer, unfilled holes being filled with the plastic constituent in the molten state. The disclosure further provides a method for manufacturing the composite.
