Abstract:
The precursor fiber bundle for manufacture of carbon fibers of the present invention is one fiber bundle in which a plurality of precursor fiber bundles for manufacture of carbon fibers, respectively consisting of 30,000 or more filaments are joined at their respective mating ends directly or through an intervening fiber bundle (for example, a stabilized fiber bundle) not generating heat at the stabilizing treatment temperature, and at the respective joining portions, the filaments of the respective adjacent fiber bundles are individually entangled with each other. The individual filaments are entangled with each other by treating the overlaid portions of flatly opened terminal and starring ends of fiber bundles by a jet fluid or needle punch. The one continuous carbon fiber bundle for manufacture of carbon fibers, though thick, has heat reserved less at the joining portions in the stabilizing treatment.

Abstract:
A production method for an FRP cylindrical body, characterized by comprising the steps of disposing a resin diffusion medium and a reinforcing fiber base material on the outer or inner periphery of a cylindrical or sold core, covering the medium and the base material with an airtight material before vacuumizing the inside, and injecting resin for diffusion in a surface direction of the medium and for impregnation into the base material; an FRP cylindrical body characterized in that an FRP layer and a resin diffusion medium are integrated with each other concentrically; and an FRP cylindrical body comprising two or more peripherally-split members which are integrally joined; whereby it is possible to produce even long or large-diameter FRP cylindrical bodies easily and at low costs.
Abstract:
In a method of weaving a three-dimensional article according to the present invention, an area arranging carrier members (1) in the form of a matrix is segmented into a plurality of rectangular blocks (G1 to G6) to choose prescribed blocks therefrom, and then a basic weaving operation is sequentially and alternately performed with respect to the prescribed blocks. According to the weaving method, it is possible to easily weave many kinds of three-dimensional articles (2) having different sectional forms. In an apparatus for weaving a three-dimensional article according to the present invention, first guide means (16) for guiding the movement in row direction of the carrier members (1) and second guide means (17) for guiding the movement in column direction of the carrier members (1) are provided, so that the carrier members (1) are smoothly moved in the row and the column directions by the first and the second guide means (16 and 17).
Abstract:
A coating method and a coating apparatus which is suitable for stably forming a coating on the surface of a flat sheet member, and a method of manufacturing coated sheets such as a color filter. The coating method comprises the steps of supplying a coating liquid to a coating liquid discharging apparatus having a coating liquid discharging slit by means of a coating liquid feeder, relatively moving at least either the coating liquid discharging apparatus or a member to be coated and forming a coating having a predetermined thickness on the member. A coating start portion of the member is stopped at a place at which it opposes the coating liquid discharging slit of the coating liquid discharging apparatus, and discharge of the coating liquid from the coating liquid discharging slit is started. After a coating liquid bead which is in touch with both of the front end opening of the coating liquid discharging slit and the coating start portion of the member is formed, relative movement of at least either the coating liquid discharging apparatus or the member is started. By the coating method, discharge of the coating liquid is started when the member stops relative to the coating liquid discharging slit, and after the formation of the coating liquid bead is confirmed, the member is relatively moved in a state that the coating liquid bead remains stable. Therefore, the coating start position can be correctly determined, and a coating can be formed highly accurately.
Abstract:
A process for producing a fiber reinforced resin which comprises placing at least a reinforcing fiber substrate in a cavity of a mold, injecting a resin into the cavity, and curing the resin, characterized in that a substrate for forming a skin layer, and a resin distribution medium, which is located between the substrate for forming the skin layer and the reinforcing fiber substrate and in which the ratio of the coefficient of impregnation thereof to that of the substrate for forming the skin layer is 1.5-10, are disposed on at least one surface of the reinforcing fiber substrate via an interlayer having a cover factor of 90%-100% and comprising at least one woven fabric. The process diminishes pinhole generation in the skin layer in RTM, and can reduce the necessity of a repair step in, e.g., a painting step as a later step, thereby improving productivity .
Abstract:
A method for producing an upsized FRP member comprising: (A) a setting step of arranging a preform having a reinforcing fiber base material (11) on the surface of a mold for forming, (B) a sealing step of covering a forming portion with a bag material(23) or a mold (41), fitting thereto an opening (17) for evacuating and an opening (16) for injecting a resin and sealing the forming portion, (C) an evacuating step of evacuating the forming portion through the opening (17), (D) a heating step of heating the forming portion by a hot air, (E) a resin injecting step of adjusting the temperature (Tm) of the mold for forming and the temperature (Tv) of the bag material(23) or the mold (41) so that the two temperatures are higher than room temperature and the difference (ΔT) between them is 10˚C or less, and injecting a thermoplastic resin through the opening (16) to thereby impregnate the reinforcing fiber base material with the resin, and (F) a solidifying step of keeping the temperature of the forming portion at a predetermined level (Tpc) being higher than room temperature to thereby solidify the resin.
