<p>A method of manufacturing fiber-reinforced resin articles, the principal object being to manufacture such articles that exhibit excellent properties, at a high level of productivity. The molded articles of carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin are manufactured by forming a cloth-like body, comprising elongated carbon fibers, into a unitary body with a thermoplastic resin to obtain a composite sheet, shaping the composite sheet into a desired configuration at a temperature higher than the melting point or softening point, but lower than the decomposition temperature, of the thermoplastic resin, and cooling the resulting article. Since the composite sheet is shaped into a three- dimensional structure at a suitable temperature, a high-productivity can be achieved in manufacturing fiber-reinforced resin molded articles that are light in weight and possess excellent mechanical properties such as an outstanding youngs's modulus and modulus of elasticity.</p> |
