Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de production de granules de résine comprenant une charge et permettant de remplir un polymère avec une densité élevée. L'invention concerne également un procédé destiné à produire un produit moulé de résine au moyen des granules de résine produits remplis d'une charge avec une densité élevée. On utilise une charge de forme plane pour former ces granules de résine en un produit moulé en feuille présentant une orientation de charge améliorée. On produit alors un produit moulé de résine utilisant avantageusement cette orientation au moyen d'un procédé de moulage de pré-imprégné. Un produit de résine moulé utilisant un matériau absorbant les ondes électromagnétiques comme charge peut être utilisé universellement pour l'absorption d'ondes électromagnétiques dans un équipement de communication mobile utilisant une zone de pseudo-microondes/microondes.
