Application of In-mold Decoration Technology

  In-Mold Decoration (IMD) is a plastic product surface decoration process. It helps people to get the desired shape and size of the part by molding the material, and also can give the external surface of the part certain physical, chemical, electrical and tactile decorative engineering properties, etc. It is increasingly applied to different products in various industries by designers. For example: ①  It can give injection molded parts higher abrasion resistance, scratch resistance, corrosion resistance, antibacterial, water resistance, rust resistance, anti-magnetic, anti-static, anti-radio interference, anti-ultraviolet radiation, glossiness, smoothness, color vividness, etc.; ②  It can improve the heat resistance, fire resistance, flame resistance, insulation, electrical conductivity, etc. of the extruded parts; ③ It  can improve the plastic parts (plates, tubes) hardness resistance, shock resistance, luminous, reflectivity, etc.; ④  It can improve the ...

Analysis of Membrane Switch for Medical Devices

Medical equipment and devices must be designed with rigorous standards to function in environments where patient safety and product reliability are critical. Today, there is great demand for innovative, feature-rich, and affordable electronic equipment to be used in diagnostic labs, hospitals, and clinics, as well as for consumer self-care. Engineers are constantly challenged to deploy differentiating leading-edge electronics that demonstrably improve patient care in a cost-effective manner for in-home patient care and portable monitoring and therapeutic devices. Mechanical membrane switches and increasingly feature-rich capacitive user interfaces are used in a wide range of medical equipment and devices — defibrillators, EKG leads, electronic sensors, glucose meters, infusion pumps, patient monitors, and portable oxygen units, as well as disposable dental, medical, and surgical equipment. Therefore, it is important to closely compare and understand the respective technologies behind u...
