Patent number: 5532054Abstract: A molding material shaped like a plate and comprising a composite of continuous fibers and thermoplastic resin wherein each of the filaments which form the continuous fiber is coated around the surface thereof with the thermoplastic resin. Although the molding material has a high density of reinforcing fibers therein, it provides excellent distribution of fibers in the molding process; few of its fibers are broken, and its mechanical strength is considerably enhanced when its specific surface is made larger than a certain value. This molding material can be used for injection, extrusion and compression moldings.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 1994Date of Patent: July 2, 1996Assignee: Mitsui Toatsu Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Tomohita Koba, Toshiyuki Nakakura, Hideo Sakai, Misao Masuda, Satoru Kishi, Chiaki Maruko

Patent number: 5445701Abstract: Method and apparatus for manufacturing a sheet-prepreg reinforced with fibers wherein a sheet of fibers such as warp or woven fibers such as fabrics is conveyed between a pair of band belts one of which is coated with a film of thermoplastic resin which has been heated higher than its softening point to enhance resin-impregnating efficiency and prevent the impregnated resin from contacting air. Further, when the sheet of fibers or woven fibers is conveyed in this manner, the molten resin is not maintained on the manufacturing line, thereby preventing it from being deteriorated by heat. The apparatus can be thus kept under operation for a long time and the sheet-prepreg reinforced with the fibers can be made much higher in quality and the deterioration of the impregnated resin can be further delayed.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1994Date of Patent: August 29, 1995Assignee: Research Association for New Technology Development of High Performance PolymerInventors: Tomohito Koba, Toshiyuki Nakakura, Hideo Sakai, Satoru Kishi, Chiaki Maruko
