Abstract: Disclosed is a structural material excelling in lightness of weight, strength, flexural modulus and other properties, being made from polyamide resin reinforced with continuous fiber and/or long filament reinforcing material. This structural material can be fabricated by a monomer casting method by arranging said fiber reinforcing material preliminarily in a desired shape, putting it into a mold, pouring molten &ohgr;-lactams containing a polymerization catalyst and an initiator into said mold, and heating to obtain polyamide resin.

Abstract: The present invention provides an ionomer resin prepared by additionally neutralizing 2 to 30% of free carboxyl groups with magnesium hydroxide. According to the present invention, physical properties of the sodium neutralized ionomer resin are improved.

Abstract: A three piece solid golf ball having improved rebound characteristics and a higher initial velocity which includes a center portion, an outer layer disposed over the center portion, and a cover disposed over the outer layer. The outer layer is formed from a rubber composition containing a base rubber, and has a base rubber volume content ratio of at least 0.65. The rubber composition of the outer layer further contains a gravity filler with a high specific gravity such that the outer layer has a higher specific gravity than the center, wherein the difference in specific gravity between the outer layer and the center varies from 0.15 to 0.8 for a small size golf ball and from 0.15 to 0.45 for a large size golf ball. The gravity filler may be selected from tungsten, tungsten carbide, molybdenum, lead, lead dioxide, nickel, or copper.

Abstract: The present invention provides a three-piece golf ball having an excellent rebound coefficient without any damage to the durability of the golf ball by controlling the diameters, the specific gravities and the hardnesses of central core and outer layer of the solid core.The golf ball of the present invention is a three-piece solid golf ball produced by covering a two-piece solid core made of a resilient elastomeric material, composed of a central core and an outer layer, with a cover made of an impact and wear resistant material, in which:(1) the central core has a diameter of 20 to 32 mm and a specific gravity of 1.03 to 1.25, and the hardness (Shore C) of the central core is within the range of 57 to 80 at its center and is larger than that of its center but not more than 83 at a distance between 5 mm and 10 mm from its center, and(2) the outer layer has a diameter of 36 to 40 mm, a specified gravity of 1.30 to 2.50 and a hardness (Shore C) of 70 to 83.

Abstract: A cover composition for golf balls having an improved impact resistance which comprises an ionomer resin and 1 to 15 parts by weight of a linear low density polyethylene per 100 parts by weight of the ionomer resin.
