  • Patent number: 11999112
    Abstract: Provided are a composite structure that is formed by joining a metal member and a molded article of a polyarylene sulfide resin composition and is more excellent in terms of joint strength and heat cycle resistance and a producing method therefor. More specifically, provided are a composite structure formed by joining a surface-roughened metal member and a PPS member, in which a number average value of developed area ratios (Sdr) of an interface measured at five random points on a surface of the surface-roughened metal member using a confocal microscope based on ISO 25178 is 5 [%] or more, and a melt viscosity of a PPS resin is 15 to 500 [Pa·s], and a producing method therefor.

  • Patent number: 11911974
    Abstract: Provided are: a metal-resin composite structure, including a surface-roughened metal member and a resin member bonded to the metal member and composed of a polyarylene sulfide resin (PAS) composition; a PAS resin composition and a resin member, for use in the metal-resin composite structure; and a method. More specifically, provided are: a PAS resin composition including a PAS resin (A) and a phenol resin (B) in an amount of 0.05 to 20 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the resin (A); a resin member obtained by melt-molding the PAS resin composition; and a metal-resin composite structure including a surface-roughened metal member and a resin member bonded to the metal member and composed of the PAS resin composition, wherein the metal member is made of aluminum, copper, magnesium, iron, titanium or an alloy containing at least one of them; and a method for producing the same.
