COMPOSITE AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

A fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin composite material which is lightweight, has high strength and high modulus, gives molded articles having satisfactory dimensional accuracy, is excellent in heat resistance, wearing resistance, impact resistance, and flame retardancy, has satisfactory impregnability, and is excellent in moldability and suitability for recycling; and a molding comprising the composite material. The composite material is one comprising organic fibers as a reinforcement and a thermoplastic resin as a matrix, and is characterized by being produced by blending short fibers as the organic fibers with short fibers comprising the thermoplastic resin and heating the resulting fiber blend to at least the melting point of the thermoplastic resin.
