Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce the title sheet having uniform thickness widthwise and excellent in appearance and strength. CONSTITUTION:Twelve reinforcing fiber bundles are introduced into a fluidized material tank 2 filled with a powdery resin, where the reinforcing fiber bundles F1 slide on bars 22 provided therein and having an effective width of 773mm (equivalent to 70% of the breadth of the fiber bundles F1 when the monofilaments are arranged parallel with no space therebetween) in a state in which they are pressed against the bars 22, so that they are disintegrated into monofilaments with a breadth of 773mm to allow the powdery resin to adhere thereto. Reinforcing fibers F2 having the adherent powdery resin contact bars 31, 32 and 33 and are narrowed to a breadth of 620mm (equivalent to 80% of the breadth of the filamentous reinforcing fibers) equal to a distance between the guides provided on both ends of the bar 33. Reinforcing fibers 3 having the adherent powdery resin and thus narrowed are introduced between heating rolls 4 to form a sheet, which is passed through cooling rolls 5 to give a fibrous composite sheet 7.

However, in the former case, the powdery thermoplastic substance drops during the period from the time when the powdery thermoplastic substance is infiltrated into the roving and before it is transferred to the heating section. In addition, there is a problem in that the widths of the individual bundles of roving monofilament are likely to have different widths, and only sheets having an uneven thickness in the width direction can be obtained.

Through this process, the adjacent reinforcing fiber bundles are sufficiently and uniformly opened into monofilament-like fibers by rubbing and rubbing the bar, and the resin powder is allowed to penetrate between the monofilaments of the reinforcing fibers. The resin powder can be attached to the reinforcing fiber so that the thickness becomes uniform in the width direction.

As the reinforcing fiber bundle (roving), one that is thermally stable at the melting temperature of the resin powder is preferably used. For example, inorganic fibers such as glass fiber, carbon fiber, ceramic fiber, polyamide fiber, polyester and the like. Examples include organic fibers such as fibers.

The reinforcing fiber bundle is usually formed by binding a group of monofilaments with a sizing agent such as polyvinyl acetate, starch or polyester to form a fiber bundle. In order to uniformly attach the resin powder to the reinforcing fiber, It is necessary to easily open the fiber into a monofilament, and a smaller amount of the sizing agent is better, and the amount is usually preferably 0.1 to 5%.

If the diameter is less than 1 μm, the strength that can withstand the tension generated by the take-up and vibration up to the heating and melting step cannot be obtained,
Further, when the strength of the obtained fiber composite sheet is not sufficient and, conversely, when it exceeds 50 μm, the fiber cannot be sufficiently opened for adhering the resin powder in the fluidized tank, resulting in insufficient adhesion. Therefore, it tends to be difficult to obtain the strength required for the fiber composite sheet.

The particle size of the resin powder is preferably 10 to 300 μm. If the particle size is less than 10 μm, the resin powder becomes more scattered when placed in a fluidized state in a fluidized tank.
It becomes difficult to control the flow state, and conversely, when it exceeds 300 μm, it becomes difficult to open the monofilament more than the particle size of the resin powder, and the flow state in the flow tank also deteriorates. There is a tendency that the adhesion state of the resin powder to the reinforcing fibers that causes the resin powder to infiltrate becomes poor.

When the pressing force is less than 0.1 kgf / cm, the reinforcing fiber bundle is difficult to open, and conversely, when it exceeds 5 kgf / cm,

When the width of the bar is less than 50% of the fiber width when the monofilaments in the reinforcing fiber bundle are juxtaposed with each other without a gap, adjacent reinforcing fiber bundles are too close to each other, so that they are opened into monofilaments. Since they do not interfere with each other and the reinforcing fiber bundle cannot be opened into a monofilament, unevenness occurs in the opened state of each reinforcing fiber bundle,
Only a fiber composite sheet having a poor appearance and a low strength can be obtained because a portion where the resin powder adheres to the reinforcing fibers is in a bad state and voids remain or uneven thickness occurs in the width direction.

On the contrary, with respect to the upper limit, theoretically,
(Average diameter of monofilament x number of monofilaments)
+ (Average diameter of resin powder x number of monofilaments) is possible, but in practice, the bar width is 10 times the fiber width when the monofilaments in the reinforcing fiber bundle are arranged side by side without a gap.
If it exceeds 0%, the strength of the reinforced fibers that have been opened becomes thin, so the force with which the monofilament holds the resin powder is weak, and while moving from the flow tank to the heating device,
The resin powder is scraped off when the reinforcing fiber to which the resin powder is attached comes into contact with the guide bar provided on the way, or
The resin powder spontaneously falls during the movement, which causes a part where the powder resin is not held properly against the reinforcing fibers, leaving voids and uneven wall thickness in the width direction. Only a fiber composite sheet with low strength can be obtained.

Further, when the reinforcing fibers adhering to the resin powder that have flowed out of the fluidized tank are moved to the heating device while maintaining the spread width, the reinforcing fibers do not have sufficient force to hold the resin powder. , When the reinforcing fibers to which the resin powder adheres come into contact with the guide bar provided on the way, the resin powder is scraped off, or the resin powder spontaneously falls during the movement, and A portion where the adhered state of the body resin is deteriorated is likely to occur.

Therefore, in the present invention, there is a step of narrowing the opening width of the reinforcing fibers to which the resin powder is attached to the width of 50 to 90% thereof. By narrowing the width of the reinforcing fiber opening, the strength of the reinforcing fiber to hold the resin powder becomes stronger.Therefore, when the fiber is moved to the heating device, the reinforcing fiber to which the resin powder adheres is provided on the way. The resin powder will not be scraped off when it comes into contact with the bar, or the resin powder will not fall spontaneously during movement. While maintaining the state in which the resin powder is adhered so that the thickness becomes uniform in the width direction, the reinforcing fiber to which the powder resin is adhered can be moved to the heating device.

On the contrary, if it exceeds 90%, the effect of holding the resin powder of the reinforcing fiber is small, and the above effect cannot be expected.

As a method of narrowing the reinforcing fibers to which the resin powder is adhered to a width of 50 to 90% of the fiber width, for example, the reinforcing fibers to which the resin powder is adhered and which are opened in a monofilament are placed in a fluid tank or A guide bar is installed between the heating device and the outside of the fluidized tank, and guides are provided at both ends of the guide bar to reduce the width of the guide bar. Alternatively, a method may be used in which the resin powder adheres to the guide bar having a concave surface as a whole and the reinforcing fibers are brought into contact with the guide bar to uniformly narrow the width.

When narrowing the width by using the guide bars provided with the guides at both ends, theoretically, the narrowing ratio of the width of the both sides of the reinforcing fiber becomes large. When the bundle is slid on the bar in a pressed state, the distribution amount of the reinforcing fibers on both sides of the bar tends to be small, so that it can be adopted as a preferable method in the sense of solving this problem.
