BACKGROUND ART In recent years, carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) in which a synthetic resin is reinforced with carbon fibers have been actively used. The carbon fiber used in this CFRP is of PAN type or pitch type. By the way, in addition to PAN-based or pitch-based carbon fibers, vapor-grown carbon fibers (hereinafter abbreviated as VGCF) are receiving attention. This VGCF utilizes the catalytic effect of fine metal particles such as iron fine particles to directly form fibers by vapor-phase pyrolysis of hydrocarbons, which is expensive PAN.
The carbon-based carbon fiber and the process-based carbon fiber are attracting attention as a supplement to the drawbacks of the pitch-based carbon fiber. The VGCF, particularly the one produced by the flow method, is an ultrafine short fiber, and is provided in a complicatedly intertwined state.

VGCF has a fine morphology with a high aspect ratio, is excellent in crystallinity and orientation, and has characteristics such as high conductivity, but on the other hand, it is an ultrafine short fiber. Since they are entangled with each other, it is extremely difficult to disperse the CFRP in a normal thermoplastic resin to obtain CFRP. That is, since the thermoplastic resin when molded or shaped has a high viscosity, VGCF having a low bulk specific gravity cannot be uniformly dispersed. Therefore, under the present circumstances, CFRP using VGCF has not been put into practical use.

The VGCF used in the present invention is manufactured by a method such as a method of providing fine metal particles (seeding method).
VGCF may be used regardless of the above. When dispersing VGCF in a resin raw material (for example, a monomer), a surfactant may be used if necessary. This surfactant is used so as to be adhered to the surface of the VGCF before dispersion, for example. However, even if the surface of the hydrophobic VGCF is not treated by using a surfactant or the like, the dispersion can be sufficiently performed.
