RIM Nylon, has forecast significantly expanded growth, for 1994, in engineering grade reaction injection molding Reaction injection molding OR RIM Molding is similar to injection molding except that a reaction occurs within the mold. The process uses thermoset polymers (commonly polyurethane) instead of thermoplastic polymers used in standard injection molding. (RIM) systems.

"Much of the new growth we expect to see in 1994 for structural RIM applications will fall outside the current RIM molder mold·er v. mold·ered, mold·er·ing, mold·ers v.intr.

Among the RIM sectors Reitz sees as fastest growing are material handling, construction, non-automotive transportation, furniture, business machine and computer housings. "We're beginning to experience the 'next generation' of RIM materials that offer profound alternatives to traditional RIM urethanes and ureas," Reitz added. Expenditures for research and development in 1994 in the U.S. are expected to reach $164.5 billion, according to according to prep. 1.

This represents an increase of $3.8 billion, 2.3 percent, over the $160.7 billion the National Science Foundation estimates actually was spent for R&D in 1993. Since about 2% of the R&D increase will be absorbed by inflation, Battelle forecasts a negligible increase in real total R&D expenditures. This is considerably less than the 10-year average real increase of 2.5 percent since 1983. "The recent slowdowns in industrial support of R&D and the changing priorities of the federal government have resulted in a slowdown in R&D spending, as we have expected for some time," said Douglas E. Olesen, Battelle president and chief executive officer. Industrial funding for R&D will account for 51.6 percent of the total. Industrial support is forecast to be $83.6 billion, up 1.6 percent from 1993. Battelle sees an increase of 2.6 percent in federal support for R&D, with funding expected to be $69.8 billion. This is 42.2 percent of the total expenditures for 1994, but it represents a smaller increase than originally proposed in President Clinton's first budget. Funding by academic institutions is expected - to be $6.4 billion, 3.9 percent of the total. And other nonprofit organizations Nonprofit Organization An association that is given tax-free status.
