In summary, we have demonstrated soft lithographic application of HA (or polysaccharides in general) by means of ${\mu}CP$ and molding and constructed well-defined patterns of proteins and cells of various substrates including glass, silicon dioxides, poly(HEMA), polystyrene culture dishes, and biodegradable PLGA. These results suggest that HA could be used as a general platform on hydrophilic substrates.

Injection-compression molding was used for film insert molding of an automotive door grip using films with three-dimensional embossed patterns. A vacuum mold was fabricated for vacuum-assisted thermoforming of the film, and an injection-compression mold was developed for film insert molding. Three pressure transducers were installed inside the mold cavity to measure cavity pressures. Injection-compression molding experiments under various compression strokes and toggle speeds were performed to investigate their effects on the cavity pressure and heights of the embossed patterns. The compression stroke of 0.9mm and low toggle speed resulted in a higher degree of conservation of embossed patterns. Additionally, the processing conditions for the maximum heights of embossed patterns were almost similar to those for minimum integral value of cavity pressures. The injection-compression molding process presents the opportunity to impart a soft-touch feeling of plastic parts printed with embossed patterns.

During compression molding of fibre-reinforced thermoplastics, the two main problems such as the fibre-matrix separation and the fibre orientation are produced by the flow state. As the molded product tends to be nonhomogeneous and anisotropic due to the separation and the orientation, it is necessary to clarify these in relation to the molding process variables and the fibre structure (fibre entanglement). If the entanglement of fibre structure is strong, the separation increases and the orientation is not easily aligned. Namely, these are inseparably related to each other. The correlation between the separation and the orientation have to be clarified for designing the fibre structure. In this paper, the degree of nonhomogeneity which is a measure of the separation is obtained using one-dimensional rectangular shaped part compression molding. And the orientation function is defined and measured by the image processing using soft X-rayed photograph and image scanner. Correlation between the degree of nonhomogeneity and the orientation function is discussed.

A nanopatterning technique was proposed and demonstrated for low cost and mass productive process using the scanning probe lithography (SPL) and soft lithography. The nanometer scale structure is fabricated by the localized generation of oxide patterning on the H-passivated (100) silicon wafer, and soft lithography was performed to replicate of nanometer scale structures. Both height and width of the silicon oxidation is linear with the applied voltagein SPL, but the growth of width is more sensitive than that of height. The structure below 100 nm was fabricated using HF treatment. To overcome the structure height limitation, aqueous KOH orientation-dependent etching was performed on the H-passivated (100) silicon wafer. Soft lithography is also performed for the master replication process. Elastomeric stamp is fabricated by the replica molding technique with ultrasonic vibration. We showed that the elastomeric stamp with the depth of 60 nm and the width of 428 nm was acquired using the original master by SPL process.

This study aims to systematically research the various phenomena which arise from compression molding of fiber reinforced plastic composites. Long fiber reinforced plastic composites are rib type compression molded in order to measure the orientation in products, and the specimens are photographed with soft X-ray. The intensity of the photograph is applied by an image scanner, and the fiber orientation distribution of products is measured by using an image processing technique.

The case unveils an early orthodontic intervention on 3-week old infant innately with bilateral cleft lip and palate. Presurgical Nasoalveolar Molding(PNAM) procedures were carried out for 2 months for the sake to diminish the anticipated strain of postsurgical scar by means of the retraction of protruded premaxilla and the extension of collapsed columella. The gap on the alveolar cleft decreased by 2,5 mm, and the columella manifested 1. 5 mm increase of its length, which yielded the consequent downward and backward movement of premaxilla, and expected to bring down the technical complexity of primary lip surgery. PNAM with sophisticated technical procedures at an optimal timing disclosed the passive molding of the alveolar segments and the formation of nasolabial soft tissue integuments and permitted one-time primary lip surgery.

To shorten the delivery time for new products, a lot of prototype plastic parts manufacturing technologies have been developed including injection molding, vacuum casting, thermal forming and so on. Among them, RIM is becoming one of a important soft tooling methods to produce prototype and mass production parts within short time. Further more, as the rapid prototyping technology based tooling methods are playing an important role in prototype manufacturing industry, the utility of the RIM is increasing. But few analyses and mold design techniques have been developed so far due to its chemical and mechanical complexity during the packing and curing process. This research suggests mold gate design criteria to prevent bobbles from molded parts through simplified mathematical model and change of bubble sizes according to the geometry of the molded parts through experiments. Also this study shows the differences of bobble generation mechanism between RIM and injection molding.

TPOs based on polypropylene has been dominating materials in hard automotive parts such as in bumper fascia, instrumental panel and door trim panel owing to their variety of advantages compared to engineering plastics and steels for years. Recently as environmental regulations related to recycle have been strengthened, the use of TPOs in soft automotive parts such as instrument panel skin and door trim skin is being required much more.. Therefore, in this study, we' d like to give an overview of soft TPOs and introduce soft TPO materials requirement and preferable materials composition by vacuum thermoforming and powder slush molding, respectively.

A molding-type power inductor is an inductor that uses a hybrid material that is prepared by mixing a ferrite metal powder coated with an insulating layer and an epoxy resin, which is injected into a coil-embedded mold and heated and cured. The fabrication of molding-type inductors requires various techniques such as for coil formation and insertion, improving the magnetic properties of soft magnetic metal powder, coating an insulating film on the magnetic powder surface, and increasing the packing density by well dispersing the powder in the epoxy resin. Among these aspects, researches on additives that can disperse the metal soft magnetic powder having the greatest performance in the epoxy resin with high charge have not been reported yet. In this study, we investigated the effect of silanes, KBM-303 and KBM-403, and a commercial dispersant on the dispersion of metal soft magnetic powders in epoxy resin. The sedimentation height and viscosity were measured, and it was confirmed that the silane KBM-303 was suitable for dispersion. For this silane, the packing density was as high as about 72.49%. Moreover, when 1.2 wt% of dispersant BYK-103 was added, the packing density was about 80.5%.

A Study on Effects of the Runner and the Gate of double shot injection molded Parts using CAE Double shot injection molding can inject two different materials or two different colors in the same mold in a injection molding process. Double shot injection molded parts can be characterized that the base part maintains strength and specified part can inject soft-material. It can reduce the production cost by single automatic operations. In this paper, we designed double shot injection mold for automobile emote control To inject secondary part, this part is used as an insert after external appearance of product is injected. CAE analysis was progressed gate location and runner size as variables. The analysis result is reflected in mold design process. As a result, it could solve problems which are generated in the conventional mold. Additionally, cost can be downed by reducing runner weight. As well as it could omit painting process because the surface of finished product is improved through new mold.
