Injection Molding Defect: Fiber Floating – Root Causes and Fixes
2025-06-20
In the injection molding process of glass fiber-reinforced materials, fiber floating is one of the most common surface defects. It appears as an uneven surface caused by exposed glass fibers on the part. This issue not only affects the visual appearance of the product but can also negatively impact secondary processes such as painting, coating, or electroplating. Today, we will take a deep dive in...

Automotive Interior Odors: An Unavoidable Challenge for Material Engineers
2025-07-10
Odor is both a sensory experience and a perceived measure of quality. In the confined space of a car cabin, the "new car smell" from plastics is not a symbol of luxury—instead, it often becomes a major source of consumer complaints. This article, grounded in engineering practice, systematically explores the sources, mechanisms, analytical methods, and controllable strategies related to odor. It ai...
