PROTECTING A FUNCTIONAL COMPONENT AND A PROTECTED FUNCTIONAL COMPONENT

摘要

An apparatus comprising: a functional component ( 2 ); a first thermoset plastic layer (6)' overlying the functional component; and a second thermoset plastic layer (8), different to the first thermoset plastic layer, overlying the first thermoset plastic layer. A method comprising: pre-protecting a functional component by: forming a first thermoset plastic layer over the functional component; and then forming a second thermoset plastic layer over the first thermoset plastic layer,- and using the pre-protected component in an injection molding process.
