(Prior Art) Composite materials used for automobile ceiling materials, for example, are required to be lightweight and have excellent properties such as rigidity, heat resistance, sound absorption, and thermal formability. As such a material, a porous composite material obtained by impregnating a sheet made of inorganic fibers with a thermoplastic resin is laminated with a sheet made of a foam such as styrene foam or urethane foam as necessary. The upper layer is made of a material in which a skin material such as soft vinyl chloride sheet or knit is bonded. Although such materials have excellent characteristics such as sound absorption, they lack strength and thermoformability because the skin material is laminated using an adhesive or the like. Furthermore, there is also the problem that the manufacturing process is complicated.

According to the invention, a composite material is manufactured as follows. First, thermoplastic resin films are laminated on both sides of the mat-like nonwoven fabric mainly composed of inorganic fibers, and a thermoplastic elastomer sheet is laminated on at least one side of this laminate. This laminate is heated to a temperature equal to or higher than the melting points of the thermoplastic resin and thermoplastic elastomer, and then compressed. Any method can be used to laminate the films. The heating conditions were 50"c-too°C higher than the melting point of the thermoplastic resin and thermoplastic elastomer.
It is preferable to do this for ~2 minutes. Further, any heating method may be employed, such as a method of heating the entire laminate in an oven, a method of radiant heating using a far-infrared heater, an infrared heater, or the like. Any compression method may be employed, including press compression, roll compression, and the like. The compression conditions when employing the press compression method are preferably 0.1 to 5 feet/cIa2, and the distance between a pair of rolls when compressing with rolls is preferably 5 to 15% of the thickness of the mat, and more Preferably 7~
It is 10%. The compression time is preferably 1 to 10 seconds. Furthermore, if the thermoplastic resin is cooled and solidified during compression, the thickness of the Maputo will not recover and the porosity will decrease, so it is preferable that the press mold and rolls are also heated to a predetermined temperature.

Since the thermoplastic resin melted by the heating has a low melt viscosity, it is impregnated into the mat-like nonwoven fabric, and when the resin is solidified, the inorganic fibers constituting the mat-like nonwoven fabric are bonded to each other. When the above-mentioned organic fibers are added to the mat-like nonwoven fabric, the organic fibers are also melted by this heating and the inorganic fibers are bonded to each other. By performing compression, the thermoplastic resin film effectively impregnates the mat-like nonwoven fabric, and the bonding strength between the inorganic fibers due to the thermoplastic resin increases.

The resulting resin-impregnated mat is maintained at the heating temperature and the pressure is released to restore its thickness. This creates voids within the mat, resulting in a light ffi composite. Any method may be used to restore the thickness of the resin-impregnated mat, for example, the resin-impregnated mat is held for a predetermined period of time in a substantially non-pressurized state at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of the resin. Mainly due to the elastic restoring force of the inorganic fibers, the thickness of the mat returns to almost its original state, creating voids within the mat. Usually, the bulk density of the resin-impregnated mat is 0.0
5~O. It is desirable to restore the thickness to about Ig/cm3.

In the composite material thus obtained, the thermoplastic resin is uniformly dispersed in the mapto-like nonwoven fabric mainly composed of inorganic fibers, and the inorganic fibers are at least partially bonded to each other. Since the thermoplastic elastomer has a high melt viscosity, it does not impregnate the inside of the mat, and when the compression is released, it is fixed on the surface of the mat to form a surface layer. FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a composite material obtained by the method of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a composite material I is composed of a plurality of non-molecular fibers 2 bound to each other using a thermoplastic resin 3 as an adhesive, and a thermoplastic elastomer layer 4 is laminated on a mat-like molded body having voids 5. It becomes.
