繊維束[A-1]:
繊維径7.2μm、引張弾性率240GPa、単糸数50,000本の連続した炭素繊維束(ZOLTEK社製、“PX35(登録商標)”)を用いた。
サイジング剤[S-1]:

塗布樹脂[P-1]:
水溶性ポリアミド(東レ(株)社製、“T-70”)を用いた。
塗布樹脂[P-2]:

ポリアミド樹脂(東レ(株)製、“アミラン(登録商標)CM1001”)を用いた。
サイジング剤または水溶性ポリアミドが付着している炭素繊維束を5gほど採取し、耐熱製の容器に投入した。次にこの容器を80℃、真空条件下で24時間乾燥し、吸湿しないように注意しながら室温まで冷却後、秤量した炭素繊維の重量をm1(g)とし、続いて容器ごと、窒素雰囲気中、450℃で灰化処理を行った。吸湿しないように注意しながら室温まで冷却し、秤量した炭素繊維の重量をm2(g)とした。以上の処理を経て、炭素繊維へのサイジング剤または水溶性ポリアミドの付着量を次式により求めた。測定は10本の繊維束について行い、その平均値を算出した。
付着量(wt%)=100×{(m1-m2)/m1}
30cmに切断した強化繊維束をまっすぐ伸ばして平らな台に載せ、湾曲したり撚れたりしないことを確認する。湾曲あるいは撚れが発生した場合、100℃以下の加熱、あるいは、0.1MPa以下の加圧によって除くことが好ましい。図16に示すように、23±5℃の雰囲気下、直方体の台の端に、30cmに切断した部分分繊繊維束を固定し、この時、部分分繊繊維束は台の端から25cmの長さで突き出るように固定した。すなわち、部分分繊繊維束の端から5cmの部分が、台の端に来るようにした。この状態で5分間静置した後、台に固定していない方の部分分繊繊維束の先端と、台の側面との最短距離を測定し、ドレープ値D1とした。測定した前記部分分繊繊維束を25℃の水に、5分間浸漬した後、取り出し、水を切った。次に部分分繊繊維束を80℃、真空条件下で24時間乾燥し、絶乾した後、前記方法と同様の方法で浸漬処理後ドレープ値D2とした。測定本数はn=5とし、平均値を採用した。
部分分繊繊維束の硬度は、JIS L-1096 E法(ハンドルオメータ法)に準じ、HANDLE-O-Meter(大栄科学精機製作所製「CAN-1MCB」)を用いて測定した。硬度測定に用いる試験片の長さは10cm、幅はフィラメント数1700本~550本で1mmとなるように部分分繊繊維束を開繊調整した。また、スリット幅は20mmに設定した。このスリット溝が設けられた試験台に試験片となる部分分繊繊維束を1本乗せ、ブレードにて溝の一定深さ(8mm)まで試験片を押し込むときに発生する抵抗力(g)を測定した。部分分繊繊維束の硬度は3回の測定の平均値から得た。
部分分繊繊維束の分繊処理を施す前の幅30mmから85mmに拡幅された樹脂含有炭素繊維束を長さ230mmにカットし、その一端の端から30mmの位置をクリップで挟み、逆端から100mmの間で幅を5点測定し、その平均値を浸漬前におけるW1とした。その後、25℃の水に、5分間浸漬した後、取り出し、クリップで挟んだ側が上に来るように吊るした状態で1分間水を切った後、クリップで挟んだ逆端から100mmの間における幅を5点測定し、その平均値を浸漬後におけるW2とした。以上の処理を経て、樹脂含有炭素繊維束の幅変化率を次式により求めた。
幅変化率=W2/W1
部分分繊繊維束をカットし得られた、チョップド繊維束の幅を顕微鏡を用いて5点測定し、その平均値を浸漬前におけるW3した。その後、25℃の水に、5分間浸漬した後、ピンセットを用いて取り出し、形態がずれないように慎重にキムワイプ上に配置し、1分間水を切った後、幅を5点測定し、その平均値を浸漬後におけるW4とした。以上の処理を経て、チョップド繊維束の幅変化率を次式により求めた。
幅変化率=W4/W3
部分分繊繊維束、樹脂含有強化繊維束の単位幅当りの繊維本数は繊維束の幅(W1)を測定し、使用原料の強化繊維束中に含まれる全単糸本数(ここでは50,000本)を測定した繊維幅で除すことで求めた。
繊維強化樹脂成形材料から約2gのサンプルを切り出し、その質量を測定した。その後、サンプルを500℃に加熱した電気炉の中で1時間加熱してマトリックス樹脂等の有機物を焼き飛ばした。室温まで冷却してから、残った炭素繊維の質量を測定した。炭素繊維の質量に対する、マトリックス樹脂等の有機物を焼き飛ばす前のサンプルの質量に対する比率を測定し、炭素繊維の重量含有率Wf(wt%)を算出した。
繊維強化樹脂成形材料を後記する方法により成形し、500×400mmの平板成形品を得た。平板長手方向を0°とし、得られた平板より0°と90°方向から、それぞれ100×25×2mmの試験片を16片(合計32片)切り出し、JIS K7074(1988年)に準拠し測定を実施した。力学特性としては、曲げ強度、曲げ弾性率、曲げ強度のCV値(%)、曲げ弾性率のCV値(%)を求めた(CV:変動係数)。
寸法150mm×150mm×2mmの繊維強化樹脂成形材料を2枚重ねた状態で、基材中心温度(二枚重ねた間の温度)が260℃となるように予熱後、150℃に昇温したプレス盤に配し、10MPaで30秒間加圧した。この圧縮後の面積A2(mm2)と、プレス前の基材の面積A1(mm2)を測定し、A2/A1×100を流動率(%)とした。
繊維束[A-1]を、ワインダーを用いて一定速度10m/minで巻き出し、10Hzで軸方向へ振動する振動拡幅ロールに通し、拡幅処理を施した後に、50mm幅の幅規制ロールを通すことで50mmへ拡幅した拡幅繊維束を得た。
