- the present inventors have conducted intensive studies on plasticizing screws of a plasticizing device that melts and kneads fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin in order to solve such a problem. As a result, the length of each screw lead in the compression section S c was determined. The inventors have found that the above-mentioned problem can be solved by decreasing L ci in the direction of the screw tip, and have reached the present invention.

- the length may be decreased stepwise or may be decreased continuously.
- the gradient may be decreased at a constant gradient or the gradient may be changed halfway.
- the shearing force can be reduced, so that there is no breakage of the reinforcing fiber, preventing a decrease in the length of the remaining fiber, and suppressing fiber breakage without making the screw groove depth extremely large. Therefore, the remaining clamps can be eliminated. As a result, the mechanical properties of the compact can be significantly improved.

- Polypropylene (melting point: 160 ° C) mixed with glass fiber at 40% by weight, pellet length 9 mm, reinforcing fiber length in pellet 9 mm long fiber reinforced thermoplastic Resin pellets were supplied to hopper 7. With the screw head 3 and the cylinder head 4a not mounted, the screw is rotated for 30 seconds at a cylinder temperature of 240 ° C and a screw rotation speed of 50 rpm, and then discharged from the cylinder. The obtained long fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin was sampled for 5 seconds, and the length of the remaining fiber and the presence or absence of unmelted pellets were visually observed. Table 4 shows the results.
- Example #1 The screw shapes of Nos. 16 to 16 are of the type shown in Fig. 1 and the screw shapes of Examples 17 to 27 are of the type shown in Fig. 2.Each type has a screw groove width Wf of the supply section Sf. Constant, each screw groove width Wc of the compression section Sc decreases toward the measuring section, and each screw groove width Wm of the measuring section Sm is constant.
- the screw shapes of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 are of the type shown in Fig.
- the width Wf of each screw groove of the supply section Sf is constant
- the width Wci of each screw groove of the compression section Sc is constant
- each of the screw sections of the measuring section Sm is constant, and is the same type as that described in JP-A-2-292008.
- the screw of the present invention keeps the remaining fiber length long while completely plasticizing the pellet, and in particular, the screw length Lf of the supply section Sf and the screw length Lm of the metering section Sm When the ratio L f / Lm was 1.07 or more, and more preferably 1.13 or more, a remarkable effect was observed. Also, no clamp remained. Examples 28, 29, Comparative Examples 4, 5
- the clamping force is 200 tons
- the screw diameter D is 50 mm0
- the The plasticizer is equipped with screws of the type shown in Fig. 1 and the specifications of Examples 8 and 10, and the type of Fig. 3 is used with screws of the specifications of Comparative Examples 1 and 3. Each was attached.
- the fiber breakage can be suppressed without sufficiently increasing the screw groove depth, and a sufficient shearing force can be obtained.
- the length of the reinforcing fibers inside is well maintained, and the mechanical properties, especially the Izod impact strength, are remarkably high. In addition, productivity is improved because the plasticization time is short.
- the fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin molded article obtained by the present invention has a large mechanical property, particularly an Izod (I zod) impact strength, since the length of the remaining fiber is as long as about 2 mm or more. Ideal for various automotive parts and mechanical parts that require mechanical strength such as front ends.
