【発明の詳細な説明】 本発明は、不飽和ポリエステル樹脂等の樹脂を
繊維マツトに含浸させて繊維強化プラスチツクス
を製造する方法に関する。
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing fiber reinforced plastics by impregnating a fiber mat with a resin such as an unsaturated polyester resin.

従来、繊維強化プラスチツクスの含浸基材とし
て、繊維材料のみを用いた繊維マツトが用いられ

Conventionally, a fiber mat made of only fiber materials has been used as an impregnated base material for fiber-reinforced plastics. However, since this fiber mat is made only of fiber materials, it has a large space volume, for example, 80% by volume.
It may extend to more than that. Therefore, a large amount of resin is required to impregnate the resin, which is disadvantageous in that it is uneconomical and the finished fiber-reinforced plastic becomes heavy.

いう欠点があつた。
Therefore, in order to reduce the spatial volume of such fiber mats, fiber mats in which fiber groups and microscopic hollow bodies are mixed have been used as impregnated base materials. However, there is a certain limit to reducing this space volume. In other words, if the spatial volume of the fiber mat is less than 50% by volume, the individual spaces will become smaller and the communication between the spaces will be poor, resulting in poor resin impregnation properties, making it difficult to use as an impregnated base material for fiber-reinforced plastics. It becomes inappropriate. Furthermore, the resulting fiber-reinforced plastics had the disadvantage that the internal resin density was non-uniform, making it impossible to obtain sufficient strength and hardness.

The present invention has been made in view of this point, and uses fiber mat with a space volume of 40% by volume or less by using fibers with special properties as an impregnated base material for fiber-strength plastics. It was made so that it could be done.

That is, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing fiber-reinforced plastics by impregnating a fiber mat made of a mixture of fibers and micro hollow bodies with a resin, in which at least 20% by weight of the fibers have a crimp number of 2. Ko/
cm to 8 cm/cm, crimp retention is 60% or more, and the space volume of the fiber mat is 40% by volume or less.

In the present invention, the fiber group includes natural fibers,
Various fibers such as semi-synthetic fibers, synthetic fibers, and inorganic fibers can be used alone or in combination. However, at least 20% by weight of these fiber groups
Above is the number of crimps 2/cm to 8/cm and crimp retention.
It must be 60% or more. Here, the number of crimp is measured by JIS, L-1074 method,
The crimp retention is the ratio (%) of the residual crimp rate to the initial crimp rate measured by the same method.

If the number of crimps is less than 2 crimps/cm, the individual spaces in the fiber mat become small, resulting in poor communication between the spaces and poor resin impregnation, which is not preferable. Furthermore, when the number of crimps exceeds 8 crimps/cm, the fibers lose their linear form and instead become beaded, making it difficult to create a fiber mat and reducing the strength of the resulting fiber mat. Not preferred for use as an impregnated base material for fiber reinforced plastics.

In addition, if the crimp retention is less than 60%, the crimp of the fibers will disappear during handling of the fiber mat or resin impregnation, resulting in poor communication between individual spaces and poor resin impregnation. Undesirable.

Fibers with such special properties must be present in an amount of at least 20% by weight based on the total fiber group. If it is less than 20% by weight, the effect of using this fiber will not be sufficiently expressed in the fiber mat, which is not preferable.

As the micro hollow bodies, those whose outer shell is made of a thermoplastic resin such as vinylidene chloride/acrylonitrile copolymer and in which a gas such as isobutane is sealed are used. Any micro hollow body can be used as long as it is lightweight and has a large volume. The volume occupied by the micro hollow bodies in the fiber mat depends on the volume occupied by the fiber group, but is generally 58% by volume or more. By doing so, the spatial volume of the fiber mat can be reduced to 40% by volume or less, and the amount of resin to be impregnated can be reduced.

In other words, the crimp retention degree is 60% or more, the predetermined number of crimp,
For example, fibrous cotton containing at least 20% by weight of fibers having a number of crimps of about 3 to 13 crimps/cm is opened and aggregated by a carding method, an airlay method, a paper making method, etc. to prepare a fibrous web. This fibrous web is impregnated with a mixed solution of microspheres whose outer shells are not yet expanded and a binder. Next, by introducing the microspheres into a heating process, the gas contained in the microspheres is expanded, thereby expanding the outer shell and fixing the binder. A fiber mat is thus created. Incidentally, a more detailed explanation regarding this will be given in the explanation regarding the embodiment below.

Fiber-reinforced plastics are produced by applying a resin such as polyester unsaturated resin to the thus obtained fiber mat having a space volume of 40% by volume or less.

In the present invention, since fibers with special properties are used, even if the space volume is less than 40% by volume, the communication between the individual spaces is good and the fiber mat is quickly impregnated with the resin. In addition, no defective resin impregnation points occur, and the resin can be impregnated without leaving any air bubbles.

Therefore, when using the method of the present invention, fiber-reinforced plastics can be efficiently produced, and since the resin is tightly impregnated, there is no decrease in strength. Furthermore, even though the amount of resin is reduced, it is possible to obtain the same strength as the conventional product.
