RESIN-COATED REINFORCING FIBER YARN, MOLDING MATERIAL AND MANUFACTURE THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: To provide a reinforcing fiber yarn capable of being simply manufactured by yarns made of reinforcing fiber and thermoplastic resin with excellent productivity and having excellent weaving property and stranding property, a method for manufacturing the same, and a molding material using the reinforcing fiber yarn and having excellent shaping properties at the time of molding and being scarcely impregnated. CONSTITUTION: Reinforcing fiber yarn covered on the outer periphery of a fiber bundle so formed of many reinforcing continuous fibers with thermoplastic resin as not to almost impregnate within the fiber bundle and thermoplastic resin 14 melted on the periphery of the bundle 1 are extruded in a cylindrical state on the outer periphery of the bundle formed of may reinforcing continuous fibers, and brought into contact with the outer periphery of the bundle 1 in a zero-pressure state.
