  • Patent number: 8658057
    Abstract: A liquid crystal polyester resin composition for camera modules is used, the composition including, based on 100 parts by mass of the composition as a whole, (A) 49.5 to 69.5 parts by mass of a liquid crystal polyester, (B) 30.0 to 50.0 parts by mass of an irregular form or spherical powder having a Mohs hardness of 5 or higher and a primary particle diameter of 5 ?m or less, and (C) 0.5 to 5.0 parts by mass of carbon black. The use of the resin composition allows a reduction in the amount of dust generated (particles falling off) during the production of the camera, the use of the camera, and the operation of the camera modules. The resin composition has high surface hardness, is excellent in balance between heat resistance, stiffness, moldability, and resistance to falling of particles off a surface, and causes no malfunction during autofocus control.

  • Publication number: 20140031458
    Abstract: During the production of reinforced and non-reinforced components (45) made of plastic, the plastic must be solidified after the molding. For this purpose, energy must be supplied to the component (45) to be produced. This has heretofore been performed by heating the mold (47) for producing the component (45). The energy introduction into the component (45) to be produced is thus limited, which results in long solidification times of the plastic, above all in the case of larger and more voluminous components (45). The invention provides supplying the energy for solidifying the plastic of the component (45) to the plastic to be solidified by at least one optical fiber (51) in the component (45) to be produced. The solidification of the plastic can be accelerated by the direct energy introduction into the component (45) to be produced.

  • Patent number: 8598254
    Abstract: Aqueous liquid and moisture vapor are added to water absorbent resin powder so that particles of the water absorbent resin powder are bound. Supplying the aqueous liquid and moisture vapor to the water absorbent resin powder reduces the amount of particles that remain unbound (ungranulated) and increases the concentration of the water absorbent resin bound particles to provide improved drying efficiency and to obtain particulate water absorbent resin having excellent properties even when the bound particles are highly concentrated. The present invention provides (i) a method for binding water absorbent resin and (ii) a method for producing particulate water absorbent resin including the step of binding particles of water absorbent resin powder.

  • Publication number: 20130260150
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to ground expanded graphite agglomerate compositions, methods for making such agglomerates, their use as conductive additive, and conductive composites including such ground expanded graphite agglomerates. The disclosure also pertains to methods for making such composites and the use of such composites in preparing thermally conductive materials. The agglomerates may be characterized by a certain softness allowing the agglomerates to dissolve, e.g., through shear forces applied during compounding, thereby leading to an improved feedability and a highly homogenous distribution of the expanded graphite material in the composite matrix.
