  • Patent number: 12030998
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a fiber-reinforced material and an article made of the same. The fiber-reinforced material includes a fiber assembly and a matrix material coating the fiber assembly, the matrix material is a thermoplastic resin composition obtained by blending a polyolefin resin, a polyamide resin, and a modified elastomer that reacts with the polyamide resin. When a puncture test is performed at a striker speed of 1-4 msec and when a maximum impact force is applied is defined as PM and a deflection at break is defined as PB, PB/PM?4. When the amount of energy absorbed before a maximum impact force is applied is E1, the amount of energy absorbed after a maximum impact force is applied and before break is E2, and a total amount of absorbed energy of E1 and E2 is ET, the ratio of E2:ET is 70% or more.

  • Patent number: 11643532
    Abstract: A thermoplastic resin composition, a molded body, and first and second production methods are disclosed. The thermoplastic resin composition contains a polyolefin resin, a polyamide resin, and a modified elastomer and shows non-Newtonian properties in a fluidized state. The molded body includes the thermoplastic resin composition. The first production method includes molding the thermoplastic resin composition at a shear rate of 80 sec?1 or more and a standby step in which resin composition is on standby at a shear rate of 0 sec?1 or more but less than 80 sec?1. The second production method includes molding the resin composition at a shear rate X1 to obtain part of a molded body and molding the resin composition at a shear rate X2 to obtain another part of the molded body, wherein an absolute value of a difference between X1 and X2 is 200 sec?1 or more.

  • Patent number: 11413942
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a vehicle door trim board that is less likely to break due to partial use of an impact resistant resin and a door trim using such a vehicle door trim board. A vehicle door trim board includes a reinforcing part made of an impact resistant resin containing a polyolefin resin, a polyamide resin, and a compatibilizer, wherein the compatibilizer is a modified elastomer having a reactive group that reacts with the polyamide resin. The door trim includes: the vehicle door trim board; and a surface skin layer provided on a design surface side of the vehicle door trim board.
