  • Publication number: 20240001631
    Abstract: Provided is a fiber-reinforced resin pultruded product obtained by molding a fiber sheet, wherein the fiber sheet is a semi-preg sheet in which a thermoplastic resin serving as a matrix for the pultruded product is fused to at least a fiber surface, and, in the fiber-reinforced resin pultruded product, the fiber sheet has been pultruded, and the thermoplastic resin fills an inside of the fiber sheet and spaces between overlapping portions of the fiber sheet and is integrated with the fiber sheet.

  • Publication number: 20230021569
    Abstract: A fiber reinforced resin hollow molded body 30 in which a resin-integrated fiber sheet is used. The resin-integrated fiber sheet includes unidirectional continuous fibers that are spread fibers of a continuous fiber group and arrayed unidirectionally in parallel, and thermoplastic resin that is present at least on a surface of the unidirectional continuous fibers. In the hollow molded body, in a state where the resin-integrated fiber sheet or a plurality of the resin-integrated fiber sheets 30 are stacked, the resin-integrated fiber sheet or the plurality of resin-integrated fiber sheets are wound to produce a wound body having an overlapping portion. The thermoplastic resin is impregnated in the unidirectional continuous fibers. The resin-integrated fiber sheet or the plurality of resin-integrated fiber sheets are consolidated.

  • Publication number: 20220388275
    Abstract: A resin-integrated fiber sheet 1 for vacuum forming for producing a fiber reinforced resin molded body through vacuum forming includes: unidirectional continuous fibers 2 that are spread fibers of a continuous fiber group and arrayed in parallel in one direction; bridging fibers 3 lying in directions crossing the unidirectional continuous fibers 2; and thermoplastic resin 4 present on part of the surface of the unidirectional continuous fibers 2 to unify the unidirectional continuous fibers 2 and the bridging fibers 3. A fiber reinforced resin molded body of the present invention is a vacuum formed body in which two or more of the resin-integrated fiber sheets 1 are stacked. A method for producing the molded body of the present invention includes subjecting the resin-integrated fiber sheets 1 to vacuum forming from a lower mold with a vacuum line and pressurizing the sheets with compressed air from an upper mold.

  • Publication number: 20220205157
    Abstract: A resin-integrated carbon fiber sheet 1, including: a carbon fiber sheet 2 in which a carbon fiber filament group is spread and arrayed in parallel in one direction; resin 4 that is present on part of a surface of the carbon fiber sheet; and bridging fibers 3. One or more of the bridging fibers 3 is present on average on a surface of the carbon fiber sheet 2 in a direction across the carbon fiber sheet per 10 mm2 of the sheet 2, and the resin 4 on the surface adhesively fixes the bridging fibers 3 to the carbon fiber sheet 2. Thus, the present invention provides a resin-integrated carbon fiber sheet that is strong in the width direction of the carbon fiber sheet, high in cleavage resistance and excellent in handleability, and a production method of the same.

  • Publication number: 20190092984
    Abstract: A reinforcing carbon fiber sheet (1) of the present invention includes: a carbon fiber filament (2) group arrayed in parallel in one direction; and a thermoplastic adhesive (4) present on at least part of the carbon fiber filament group in a direction across the carbon fiber filament group to unite the carbon fiber filament group. Preferably, the reinforcing sheet (1) includes a minimum amount of the carbon fibers required to produce a reinforcing effect. A sizing layer (3) of an epoxy-based resin is present on the surface of the carbon fiber filaments (2), and has a high affinity for the thermoplastic adhesive layer (4) present thereon, so that they strongly adhere to each other. Thus, the present invention provides a reinforcing carbon fiber sheet that is thin, has good handling properties and easily adheres to a substance to be reinforced.
