  • Patent number: 11000980
    Abstract: Disclosed is a textile-like in-mold sheet that is to be integrated with a resin molded body molded by injection of a molten resin by in-molding. The textile-like in-mold sheet includes at least a fiber sheet layer, a first adhesive layer, and a textile material layer, in this order from a surface that will serve as a side to be integrated with the resin molded body. Alternatively, the textile-like in-mold sheet includes at least a textile material layer and a temporary surface protection layer temporarily bonded to the textile material layer, in this order from the surface to be integrated with the resin molded body.

  • Publication number: 20160052234
    Abstract: Provided is a non-weave fabric containing a thermoplastic resin fiber and a carbon fiber as major ingredients, capable of yielding a resin molded article when molded thereinto, which is excellent in mechanical strength and in appearance, and, a multi-layered sheet having the non-weave fabric and a textile layer, which is excellent in mechanical strength and less likely to warp. The non-weave fabric includes a thermoplastic resin fiber (A), a carbon fiber (B), and a thermoplastic resin (C) having a glass transition temperature lower than that of the thermoplastic resin fiber (A), the ratio of content of the thermoplastic resin (C) being 1 to 50% by weight of the total content of the thermoplastic resin fiber (A) and the thermoplastic resin (C).
