The effects of injection molding conditions on the uniformity and brightness of light guide plate(LGP) with micro-patterns were investigated in the present study. An injection molding system for stampers with mirco-pattern was designed and manufactured to perform experiment. Variations of injection molding speed, mold and melt temperature for LGP were considered in this work. Also, injection molding characteristics of LGP were investigated by numerical analysis using plastic injection molding commercial code. It was shown that injection molding conditions such as injection speed, melt temperature and mold temperature can have an effect on the uniformity and brightness of light guide plate.

A micro-injection mold for ultra-thin-walled plate was considered in this work. The proposed mold system is for the fabrication of ultra-thin walled plastic plate with micro features by injection molding. As the injection molding of thin-walled plastic, which has the thickness under $400{\mu}m$, itself is not easy, the injection molding of the micro-features in the thin-walled structure is more complicated and difficult. To investigate the basic phenomenon of the ultra-thin walled part during the injection molding process, design of the part and mold system were performed in the present study. The injection molding and structural analysis of the suggested part and mold system were also performed. Consequently, injection molding system for ultra-thin walled plate with micro features were manufactured and presented.

Injection-stretch blowing system for preform has been developed in this study. The preforms for injection blow molding and injection stretch blow molding are being manufactured by injection molding. However it contains gate mark that affects the bottom crack in the PET bottle. The compression molded preform does not contain gate mark, thus the appearance quality of bottle has been increased and the residual stress near gate(bottom of the bottle) has been reduced. The thickness distributions, haze, and transmittance are well accepted for the preform. Also, flow characteristics of the resin between a core and cavity could be analyzed through computer simulation.

Double injection molding process is very efficient molding-method for molding the products which is consist of multi-materials. Fuel-tube holder which is necessary for automobil power train and circulation systems is composed of plastic and rubber materials to minimize the vibration and pulsation noises. In existing process, fuel-tube holder was made by the insert molding process or assembly process after molding. If fuel-tube holder is manufactured by double injection molding process, it may be realize to improve the product quality, efficiency of molding-process and retrenchment of manufacturing cost. In this study, for manufacturing fuel-tube holder by double injection molding process, the analysis of joining characteristics between PA6(polyamide 6) and TPE(thermoplastic elastomer) was executed and the double injectin mold for molding fuel-tube holder with core toggle mechanism was fabricated. Finally, fuel-tube holder was molding using fabricated double injection mold.

In this study, precision injection molding analysis for BGA connector fabrication was performed. A BGA connector model with rectangular micro-holes were introduced to investigate the effect of mirco patterns on the injection molding process. Dual domain(2.5D) mesh and full 3D mesh for BGA connector model were prepared to perform precision injection molding analysis. To verify the Present analysis, experiments of injection molding were performed based on the results of the analysis. It was shown that the type of mesh has a significant effect on the flow pattern of BGA connector

Recently, the micro mold maching techining technology is developed by means of the mechanical and high energy beam process. It is possible to make the micro structure mold with high aspect ratio by the LIGA technology. This mode is used for mass production of plastic parts by the micro injection molding method. In this study, we intend to research on the basic technology of micro injection molding. As the result, we developed the injection molding technology for small column plastic parts which diameter is 500 .mu. m and 200 .mu. m respectively with wbout aspect ratio 20.

Molding shrinkage s variation is one of the problems to be solved in conventional injection molding. Despite many trying-out has been to solve these, intrinsic causes of shrinkage such as orientation and thermal exchange between melt and mold has yet not solved. For reducing shrinkage and residual stress on molding, injection compression molding process was invented. In this study, experiments about effect of injection compression molding's parameters on shrinkage of molding were conducted with PMMA and compared with conventional injection molding's shrinkage. Before the injection compression molding experiment, molding shrinkage rate was predicted by analyzing pvT graph and was compared with the results of experiment. The shrinkage rate of injection compression molding was lower than convention injection molding' one but was different from the predicted shrinkage. The reason was observed that experiment mold as not positive type, flowing backward of melt into nozzle and unreasonable mechanism of injection molding machine.

In this paper, the injection molding process of automotive seat-back cover is analyzed in terms of simulation and of experiment. FE analysis was used to obtain molding conditions such as injection pressure, filling pattern, packing, shrinkage. Vacuum system for low pressure injection molding is developed in the experiment. Low pressure injection molded parts have been compared with conventional molded parts in terms of molding quality and mechanical properties. Based on the results, good product and the productivity improvement can be obtained in low pressure injection molding for automotive seat-back cover.

Magnesium alloys are one of light weight material. Strength and stiffness of Magnesium alloys are enough to use for commercial product. Demand for strong, lightweight parts several computer and electronics have driven much of Magnesium injection molding's growth so far. And it is eighth most abundant resource on earth. In electronic device, electromagnetic interface and electrostatic discharge can affect performance. Magnesium injection molding is similar to normal plastic injection molding process. But some process condition is different. Especially injection speed and process temperature are so differs from other injection molding system. It just start for make something. But Magnesium injection molding is one of best alternate process for producing metal alloy part.
