Abstract:
A nonwoven trough and method of construction thereof are provided. The nonwoven trough includes at least one nonwoven wall formed from a mixture of bonded natural cellulosic fibers and thermoplastic fibers. The at least one nonwoven wall extends along a longitudinal axis and has a midsection and opposite end portions. The midsection has a base and a pair of walls extending upwardly from the base to provide the midsection with a generally U-shaped cross-section taken generally transversely to the longitudinal axis. At least one flange extends laterally from the at least one nonwoven wall, wherein the flange is configured for attachment to a vehicle member.
Abstract:
A fastening component is a molded article of a mixture in which microfibrillated cellulose fibers are dispersed in a thermoplastic resin, wherein the thermoplastic resin has a melting point of between 150 and 200° C., and wherein when the total mass % of the thermoplastic resin and the cellulose fibers is set to be 100 mass %, the mass % of the cellulose fibers included in the mixture is greater than 20 mass % and less than 60 mass %. When the total mass % of the thermoplastic resin and the cellulose fibers is set to be 100%, the mass % of the cellulose fibers included in the mixture is preferably equal to or greater than 30 mass % and equal to or less than 50 mass %.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an outer plate member having lightweight and high strength properties, showing excellent appearance and useful even from a viewpoint of an environmental problem. SOLUTION: In this outer plate member, at least its outside surface part is constituted of a composite material composed of a fiber material comprising cellulose microfibriles and a resin for holding the fiber material. The fiber material is preferably contained by an amount of 1-99 wt.%, further preferably by an amount of 20-75 wt.% per 100 wt.% of the composite material. The outside surface part is desirably adapted to the surface of the vehicle body. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a molded article of a fine wood fiber-containing resin excellent in dimensional stability and having high bending strength and retention of nails and without cracking and tipping at the time of nail striking. SOLUTION: The molded article of the fine wood fiber-containing resin is produced by kneading and molding a mixture of the fine wood fiber with a resin. The molded article of the fine wood fiber-containing resin has 10-25% porosity and comprises 60-80 wt.% blended fine wood fiber. The fine wood fibers are oriented. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a kenaf stalk piece-containing synthetic resin molded object having lightweight properties and high rigidity and also having a high aspect ratio among molded objects generating no edge materials. SOLUTION: A stalk of kenaf is broken or cut into appropriate length as it is without separating the same into a bast part and a woody part, processing the same into a particulate material by grinding treatment or the like or processing only the fibrous portion thereof to obtain dry kenaf stalk pieces 2. The kenaf stalk piece-containing synthetic resin A becoming a base of a kenaf stalk piece-containing board 1, wherein those dry kenaf stalk pieces 2 are mixed with a synthetic resin 3 melted at a predetermined temperature, is supplied to an unclosed hot mold 10. An upper hot mold 11 and a lower hot mold 12 are closed and subsequently clamped by preset pressing force so as to form a predetermined shape. Then, the mold 10 is held for a predetermined time in the clamped state and the kenaf stalk piece-containing synthetic resin A is solidified to be stabilized in its shape. Finally, the hot mold 10 is opened and the kenaf stalk piece-containing synthetic resin A is demolded to obtain the kenaf stalk piece-containing board 1. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To manufacture a homogeneous synthetic wood board while its molding efficiency is enhanced. SOLUTION: A synthetic woodmeal composed of cellulose grinds and a thermoplastic resin material is used as a raw material. A molding die 10 which molds an extruded dough discharged from an extrusion die 19 to the specified wall thickness, is connected to the extrusion die 19 of an extruder 7 and a take-up means 40 for a molded product is installed near the die outlet 23 of the molding die 10. In an extrusion-molding device of the described structure, the length of the molded product 60 extruded from the die outlet 23 of the molding die 10 per unit hour is regarded as a molding rate. When this molding rate falls within a linear proportion range where the molding rate increases in linear proportion to the number of revolution of a screw 71, a rate almost equal to the molding rate is regarded as a take-up rate. On the other hand, when the molding rate of the molded product 60 exceeds the linear proportion range, a rate almost equal to an imaginary molding rate obtained when it is assumed that the molding rate is increased in linear proportion to the number of revolution of the screw 1, is regarded as a take-up rate. Thus the molded product 60 is taken up at the take-up rate using the take-up means 40. The method for extrusion-molding the synthetic wood board comprises the described processing steps.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a polyolefin resin composition which gives molded articles having a superior mechanical strength such as bend strength and a texture of wood. SOLUTION: The polyolefin resin composition for molding constitutes a polyolefin resin (A) of 30-90 pts.wt. and an organic filler (B) of 70-10 pts.wt. selected from a woody material (B1) and an esterificated woody material (B2) by a polybasic acid anhydride. The compound has a particle distribution such that in the organic filler (B) the content of particle diameter of 32 μm or less is 0-10 wt.%, the diameter 32 μm or more-106 μm or less is 80-100 wt.% and the diameter of 106 μm or more is 0-10 wt.%.
