Abstract
A process for producing an impregnated-yarn cloth which is woven fabric configured of impregnated yarns, which has satisfactory shaping properties and, despite this, has a fine texture of the reinforced fiber bundles, and which gives a molded object having excellent strength. The process for producing an impregnated-yarn cloth (1) is characterized by impregnating fiber bundles (2) with a thermoplastic resin (5) held in a molten state in a resin tank, while or after twisting the fiber bundles (2) at a rate of 20 twists/m or more and 700 twists/m or less, to form an impregnated yarn (3); and knitting or weaving the thus-formed impregnated yarns (3) to obtain the impregnated-yarn cloth (1).
Description
- The present invention relates to an impregnated-yarn cloth which is woven fabric configured of impregnated yarns, and a process for producing the impregnated-yarn cloth.
- A sheet-like impregnated cloth such as a prepreg is generally used as a material in formation of a molded object of fiber-reinforced resin. This impregnated cloth is obtained by coating the surface of a base material, which is a textile fabric obtained by knitting or weaving fiber bundles, with a thermoplastic resin. When this impregnated cloth is heated, the thermoplastic resin coating the surface of the base material is molten, so that the base material constrained by the thermoplastic resin can be deformed (shaped). The thermoplastic resin is cooled and solidified after molding the impregnated cloth into a desired shape, whereby the sheet-like impregnated cloth can be made into the molded object.
- In recent years, formation of a complicatedly-shaped molded object such as an automotive interior material or body is increasingly performed, and high shaping properties capable of conforming to such a complicated shape are required for the impregnated cloth.
- However, when the coating with the thermoplastic resin is performed after knitting or weaving the fiber bundles as in the above-mentioned impregnated cloth, the base material can hardly be deformed unless the coating thermoplastic resin is plasticized. As a result, the impregnated cloth can hardly be deformed into an optional shape of molded object.
- Therefore,
Patent Document 1 discloses a process of preliminarily coating each fiber of fiber bundles with a thermoplastic resin before knitting or weaving the fiber bundles into a cloth state to form an impregnated yarn, and knitting or weaving such impregnated yarns to obtain an impregnated-yarn cloth. - Patent Document 1: JP 04-185313 A
- The impregnated-yarn cloth obtained by the process of
Patent Document 1 is easily deformable, compared with the above-mentioned impregnated cloth, since each of the impregnated yarns is relatively freely movable, and thus has satisfactory shaping properties. - However, each impregnated yarn constituting this impregnated-yarn cloth is extremely rigid and cannot be freely bent since it is constituted by solidifying fiber bundles of single fibers neatly aligned in one direction by coating with the thermoplastic resin. Namely, in an impregnated-yarn cloth formed by knitting or weaving such hardly bendable impregnated yarns, the aperture inevitably becomes large to avoid breakage of the single fibers. As a result, a molded object having high strength can hardly be obtained since the density of the fiber bundles in the molded object is insufficient.
- If the impregnated yarns are forcedly distorted or bent to reduce the aperture, the strength of the impregnated-yarn cloth or molded object can be rather deteriorated due to unnecessary curling of the impregnated yarns or peeling of the thermoplastic resin from the surface of fiber bundles.
- Further, since the knitting or weaving operation of such hardly bendable impregnated yarns is extremely troublesome, it can often be difficult to enhance the productivity of the impregnated-yarn cloth.
- From the viewpoint of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has an object to provide a process for producing an impregnated-yarn cloth, which has a small aperture of impregnated yarns while having satisfactory shaping properties, and which can provide a molded object having excellent strength with high productivity, and an impregnated-yarn cloth obtained by the method.
- To solve the above-mentioned problem, a process for producing an impregnated-yarn cloth of the present invention takes the following technical means.
- Namely, the process for producing an impregnated-yarn cloth of the present invention comprises: impregnating fiber bundles with a thermoplastic resin held in a molten state in a resin tank, while or after twisting the fiber bundles at a rate of 20 twists/m or more and 700 twists/m or less, to form an impregnated yarn; and knitting or weaving the thus-formed impregnated yarns to obtain the impregnated-yarn cloth.
- The impregnated yarns are preferably knitted or woven so that the aperture is 0 mm or more and 10 mm or less.
- On the other hand, the impregnated-yarn cloth of the present invention is characterized by that fiber bundles coated with a thermoplastic resin are mutually knitted or woven, and the fiber bundles are twisted at a rate of 20 twists/m or more and 700 twists/m or less.
- The fiber bundles are preferably knitted or woven so that the aperture is 0 mm or more and 10 mm or less.
- According to the process for producing an impregnated-yarn cloth and the impregnated-yarn cloth of the present invention, a fine texture of fiber bundles can be obtained while securing satisfactory shaping properties, and a molded object having excellent strength can be obtained with high productivity.

FIGS. 4 are views showing changes in tensile strength relative to the twisting frequency of impregnated yarns, wherein fiber bundles are composed of glass fiber in (a), and the fiber bundles are composed of carbon fiber in (b). - Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same reference signs are assigned to the same components. The same components have the same names and functions. Thus, detailed description therefor is not repeated.
- As shown in
FIG. 1( a) toFIG. 1( c), an impregnated-yarn cloth 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed using an impregnatedyarn 3 composed of fiber bundles 2 (reinforced fiber bundles) coated with athermoplastic resin 5, and is constituted by knitting or weaving a plurality of impregnatedyarns 3. Namely, the impregnated-yarn cloth 1 of the present invention is obtained by knitting or weaving the impregnatedyarns 3 that are resin composite materials. - The impregnated
yarn 3 constituting the impregnated-yarn cloth 1 of the present invention, and the knitted or woven state of the impregnatedyarn 3 are further described in detail below. - The impregnated
yarn 3 constituting the impregnated-yarn cloth 1 includes thefiber bundles 2 which enhance mechanical characteristics (tensile strength, etc.) of a moldedobject 4 and thethermoplastic resin 5 which coats the surface (circumference) of thefiber bundles 2 over the longitudinal direction. - Each of the
fiber bundles 2 is formed by bundling single fibers by a number to be described later, and the single fibers are formed from fibers capable of reinforcing thethermoplastic resin 5 that is a matrix. For thefiber bundle 2, for example, a fiber such as glass fiber, carbon fiber or aramid fiber can be used. - In the
fiber bundle 2, the above-mentioned single fibers are bundled at a rate of 500 tex or more and 15,000 tex or less (JIS L0101), and the outside diameter (diameter) of eachfiber bundle 2 is 0.3 mmφ or more and 3.0 mmφ or less. - The
thermoplastic resin 5 covers the surface of thefiber bundles 2 of the impregnatedyarn 3. Thethermoplastic resin 5 functions also as a binder for binding the mutually knitted orwoven fiber bundles 2, when forming themolded object 4, by being interposed between the both. Concretely, as thethermoplastic resin 5, a polyolefin resin such as polypropylene or polyethylene can be used. Besides the polyolefin resin, a polyamide resin such as nylon and a resin such as PET, PBT, PEI, or PEEK can be also used. - The method of knitting or weaving the impregnated
yarns 3 is then described. - The above-mentioned impregnated
yarns 3 may be knitted or may be woven. For example, when the impregnatedyarns 3 are knitted, a knitting method such as flat knitting, hosiery knitting, rib knitting, chain knitting, or garter knitting can be adopted. When the impregnatedyarns 3 are woven, a weaving method such as twill weave or satin weave can be adopted in addition to flat weave as shown inFIGS. 1 . By changing the knitting or weaving method among the above-mentioned types in this way, the shaping properties of the impregnated-yarn cloth 1 can be improved. - In conventional impregnated
yarns 3, each piece of the impregnatedyarns 3 is formed by solidifying single fibers neatly aligned in one direction by coating the circumference thereof with thethermoplastic resin 5. Since impregnatedyarns 3 obtained by such a method are rigid and inflexible, and give a large aperture when knitted or woven, sufficient strength as the impregnated-yarn cloth 1 cannot be obtained. Further, since the impregnatedyarns 3 obtained by the conventional method are hardly bendable in knitting or weaving, efficient production of the impregnated-yarn cloth 1 can often be difficult (refer to the description of Technical Problem). - In the impregnated-
yarn cloth 1 of the present invention, therefore, afiber bundle 2 formed by twisting a plurality of single fibers so that the twist number is 20 twists/m or more and 700 twists/m or less, preferably 20 twists/m or more and 200 twists/m or less, is used for the impregnatedyarns 3. Since the flexibility of each impregnatedyarn 3 is enhanced by setting the twist number of thefiber bundles 2 to 20 twists/m or more and 700 twists/m or less, preferably 20 twists/m or more and 200 twists/m or less, the aperture can be reduced when knitted or woven into the impregnated-yarn cloth 1, and the mechanical strength (tensile strength) of the impregnated-yarn cloth 1 can be improved more than in the past. Further, since the enhanced flexibility of the impregnatedyarns 3 facilitates the bending of the impregnatedyarns 3 in knitting or weaving, the productivity in knitting or weaving into the impregnated-yarn cloth 1 can be also enhanced. - Concretely, the impregnated
yarn 3 of this embodiment is formed by twisting thefiber bundles 2 so that the twist number is 20 twists/m or more and 700 twists/m or less (in other words, 20 twists/m or more and/or 700 twists/m or less), preferably 20 twists/m or more and 200 twists/m or less (in other words, 20 twists/m or more and/or 200 twists/m or less). The twisting direction of thefiber bundles 2 may be right or left. The number offiber bundles 2 used in oneimpregnated yarn 3 is preferably 2 or more and 10 or less. - The impregnated-
yarn cloth 1 of the present invention is knitted or woven at an aperture of 0 mm or more and 10 mm or less by being knitted or woven using impregnatedyarns 3 having a twist number as described above. The impregnated-yarn cloth 1 having such an aperture can form a moldedobject 4 excellent in mechanical strength by supplying thefiber bundles 2 into the moldedobject 4 by a sufficient density. - A process for actually producing the above-mentioned impregnated-
yarn cloth 1, in other words, a process for producing an impregnated-yarn cloth 1 of the present invention will be then described. - As shown in a flow chart of
FIG. 2 , the process for producing an impregnated-yarn cloth 1 of the present invention comprises: afirst step 7 of impregnatingfiber bundles 2 with athermoplastic resin 5 held in a molten state in a resin tank (impregnation unit 12) to form an impregnatedyarn 3 in which thefiber bundles 2 are twisted; and asecond step 8 of knitting or weaving the impregnatedyarns 3 formed in thefirst step 7 to obtain the impregnated-yarn cloth 1 of a resin composite material. - Prior to the description of the
first step 7, aproduction apparatus 9 used for thefirst step 7 is described. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , theproduction apparatus 9 includes ahopper 10 for supplying pellets of thethermoplastic resin 5. The pellets of thethermoplastic resin 5 supplied from thehopper 10 are kneaded in akneading unit 11 disposed adjacently to thehopper 10. Thethermoplastic resin 5 plasticized in the kneadingunit 11 is sent to animpregnation unit 12, and stored in theimpregnation unit 12. - The
impregnation unit 12 is formed into a long bottomed cylindrical shape having a vertical axis so that the plasticizedthermoplastic resin 5 can be stored, and is opened upward. A plurality offiber bundles 2 wound off from bobbins disposed on a lateral side of theimpregnation unit 12 are fed into theimpregnation unit 12 through this upper opening. - The plurality of
fiber bundles 2 are supplied from the bobbins which are provided by the same number as the number of thefiber bundles 2 respectively, preheated by apreheater 13, and then fed into theimpregnation unit 12 via anupper guide roll 14. - A
die nozzle 15 for extruding thefiber bundles 2 fed out of theimpregnation unit 12 through the upper opening is provided on the lower side of theimpregnation unit 12, so that thedie nozzle 15 can be used to coat the surface of thefiber bundles 2 with thethermoplastic resin 5 by a predetermined thickness. Further, between the upper opening and thedie nozzle 15 within theimpregnation unit 12, a lower guide roll (not shown) for transferring thefiber bundles 2 in a laid-over state is disposed in dipping in the moltenthermoplastic resin 5. - A
water tank 16 for promoting the cooling and curing of thethermoplastic resin 5 coating the surface of thefiber bundles 2 is provided on the downstream side of theimpregnation unit 12. A winder 17 (twisting roller device) for twisting thefiber bundles 2 cooled in thewater tank 16 is provided on the downstream side of thewater tank 16. Thiswinder 17 is configured to rotate a roller (uncoiler) so as to be twisted around an axis along the transfer direction of thefiber bundles 2 while taking up thefiber bundles 2 by the roller around an axis orthogonal to the transfer direction of the fiber bundles 2. When thefiber bundles 2 are taken up by such awinder 17, the impregnatedyarn 3 can be formed while twisting thefiber bundles 2 at a rate of 20 twists/m or more and 700 twists/m or less, preferably 20 twists/m or more and 200 twists/m or less, as described above. - In the
second step 8, the impregnatedyarns 3 formed in thefirst step 7 are knitted or woven to form the impregnated-yarn cloth 1. A known knitting machine or weaving machine can be used for thesecond step 8, and the impregnatedyarns 3 are knitted or woven by a desired knitting or weaving method using the knitting machine or weaving machine, whereby the impregnated-yarn cloth 1 is formed. The knitting machine or weaving machine used for thesecond step 8 is not illustrated herein. - The impregnated-
yarn cloth 1 thus formed by knitting or weaving in thesecond step 8 is hot-pressed along a desired shape, whereby a moldedobject 4 can be formed from the impregnated-yarn cloth 1 as shown by the dotted line inFIG. 2 . - In the impregnated-
yarn cloth 1 of the present invention, each of thefiber bundles 2 constituting this impregnated-yarn cloth 1 is twisted at a rate of 20 twists/m or more and 700 twists/m or less, preferably 20 twists/m or more and 200 twists/m or less. Therefore, the flexibility of thefiber bundles 2 is high, compared with a one in which fiber bundles are neatly aligned along one direction, and can be freely bent or distorted when made into the impregnatedyarn 3. In the impregnated-yarn cloth 1 knitted or woven from such flexible impregnatedyarns 3, of course, the aperture can be reduced, and the mechanical strength (tensile strength) of the impregnated-yarn cloth 1 can be improved more than in the past by closely knitting or weaving the impregnatedyarns 3. - Further, the enhanced flexibility of the impregnated
yarns 3 facilitates the bending of the impregnatedyarns 3 in knitting or weaving, and the productivity in knitting or weaving into the impregnated-yarn cloth 1 can be also enhanced. - The impregnated
yarns 3 having such twists are excellent also in mechanical strength such as tensile strength, and the strength of the impregnated-yarn cloth 1 itself is also enhanced. Therefore, when the impregnated-yarn cloth 1 of the present invention is used, a moldedobject 4 having excellent strength in which thefiber bundles 2 are closely arranged as shown inFIG. 1( c) can be obtained. - The function effects of the impregnated-
yarn cloth 1 of the prevent invention will be further described in detail using examples. - In order to examine effects of the twist number of the
fiber bundles 2 on the tensile strength of the impregnatedyarn 3, the following Example 1 to Example 3 were prepared. - Concretely, a
fiber bundle 2 used for the impregnated-yarn cloth 1 in Example 1 is formed by bundling single fibers of glass fiber so as to have a count of 4620 tex, and it has an outside diameter of 3.0 mmφ. Afiber bundle 2 used for the impregnated-yarn cloth 1 in Example 2 is formed by bundling single fibers of glass fiber so as to have a count of 575 tex, and it has an outside diameter of 1.05 mmφ. Further, afiber bundle 2 used for the impregnated-yarn cloth 1 in Example 3 is formed by bundling single fibers of carbon fiber so as to have a count of 15,000 tex, and it has an outside diameter of 1.7 mmφ. - These fiber bundles of Example 1 to Example 3 were coated with the thermoplastic resin 5 (polypropylene) while changing the twist number thereof in the
winder 17 within the range of 0 to 120 twists/m, whereby impregnatedyarns 3 including 25 to 30 vol % offiber bundles 2 were produced. With respect to the thus-obtainedimpregnated yarns 3, tensile strength was measured using a tensile tester. The measurement results are shown inFIG. 4( a) andFIG. 4( b). - In the result of Example 1 shown by black rhombi in
FIG. 4( a), when the twist number in the winder is increased from 0 twist/m to 25 twists/m, the tensile strength is also increased in accordance with this increase. Relatively high tensile strength is maintained in the twist number range of 25 to 75 twists/m. However, when the twist number in the winder exceeds 75 twists/m, the tensile strength is suddenly reduced against the increase in twist number. - On the other hand, in the result of Example 2 shown by black squares in
FIG. 4( a), although relatively high tensile strength is also maintained in the twist number range of 10 to 80 twists/m, the tensile strength is reduced when the twist number exceeds or falls below this range. In the result of Example 3 shown by black circles inFIG. 4( b), also, the same tendency is observed, and relatively high tensile strength is maintained in the twist number range of 18 to 60 twists/m. - It is determined from this that the tensile strength can be enhanced, in each of Example 1 to Example 3, by setting the twist number of the
fiber bundles 2 in the impregnatedyarn 3 to 20 to 50 twists/m. - With respect to the impregnated
yarns 3 of Example 1 to Example 3 in which the twist number of thefiber bundles 2 is 30 twists/m, bending radius was measured. In this measurement of bending radius, for example, each impregnated yarn is bent along cylinders differed in curvature radius, and a curvature radius at which the impregnated yarn can be bent without damage is measured. This curvature radius is taken as the bending radius. As Comparative Example, an impregnated yarn 3 (twist number=0 twist/m) obtained by coating the circumference offiber bundles 2 of single fibers neatly aligned in parallel without twisting with thethermoplastic resin 5 was used. The measurement results of bending radius for the impregnatedyarns 3 of Example 1 to Example 3 and Comparative Example are shown in Table 1. -
TABLE 1 Twisted Untwisted Outer diameter 3.0 mmφ 15 mm 50 mm Outer diameter 1.05 mmφ 2 mm 20 mm Outer diameter 1.7 mmφ 10 mm 50 mm - As is apparent from Table 1, “twisted” ones are bendable with bending radiuses thereof being reduced to at least about ⅓, compared with “untwisted” ones. It is determined from this that shaping properties are enhanced in the “twisted” impregnated
yarns 3, compared with the “untwisted” ones. - In the embodiments disclosed herein, items not explicitly disclosed, for example, working conditions or operation conditions, various parameters, the dimensions, weights and volumes of structures, and the like are not departed from the scope of ordinary working by those skilled in the art, and items which can be easily supposed by those ordinarily skilled in the art are adopted.
