Abstract: The thickness of a fiber-reinforced resin sheet having uniformly distributed and substantially unidirectional fibers is reduced by stretching a fiber-reinforced resin sheet starting material in intimate contact with a thermoplastic sheet having a tensile strength larger than the fiber-reinforced resin sheet. This is accomplished by heating the fiber-reinforced resin sheet at a temperature at which the resin in the fiber-reinforced resin becomes sticky and subjecting the sheets to a uniform compressive force to adhere the fiber-reinforced sheet to the thermoplastic resin sheet and then simultaneously stretching the thus-adhered sheets to form a thin fiber-reinforced sheet in which the direction of stretching is perpendicular to the direction of the fibers.

Abstract: A flame retardant comprising a mixture of 10 to 90% by weight of powder A and 90 to 10% by weight of powder B of magnesium hydroxide, the powder A containing 40 to 70% by weight of a powdered double salt of magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate and 60 to 30% by weight of powdered basic magnesium carbonate; and a flame-retardant resin composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a thermoplastic resin and 30 to 300 parts by weight of the flame retardant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the continuous production of prepreg sheets unidirectionally arranged in parallel which involves contacting a plurality of fiber bundles arranged unidirectionally in parallel with each other with a solvent and continuously taking up the individual fiber bundle units under tension over curved surfaces of spreader bodies, such as cylinders while in a wet state, thereby spreading out said fiber bundles over the curved surfaces by means of said tension and subsequently drying the thus-spread out fibers. The invention also contemplates impregnating the dried fiber bundles with a specified quantity of molten resin to prepare the final prepreg resin-containing sheets.
