 本出願は、2019年2月15日に出願された日本出願番号2019-025614号に基づくもので、ここにその記載内容を援用する。 This application is based on Japanese application No. 2019-025614 filed on February 15, 2019, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
 本開示は、樹脂充填繊維基材、繊維強化複合材料及びその製造方法に関する。 The present disclosure relates to a resin-filled fiber base material, a fiber-reinforced composite material, and a manufacturing method thereof.
 従来から合成樹脂に炭素繊維やガラス繊維を添加して合成樹脂製品の引張強度等の物性を高める繊維強化複合材料が使用されている。そして、繊維強化複合材料のマトリックス樹脂としてはエポキシ樹脂等の熱硬化性樹脂が主に使用されていた(特許文献1参照)。 Conventionally, fiber-reinforced composite materials have been used that add physical properties such as tensile strength of synthetic resin products by adding carbon fibers and glass fibers to synthetic resins. A thermosetting resin such as an epoxy resin has been mainly used as the matrix resin of the fiber-reinforced composite material (see Patent Document 1).
 しかし、マトリックス樹脂として熱硬化性樹脂を使用した場合、繊維強化複合材料の成形時に熱硬化性樹脂の化学反応(硬化反応)を伴うので、硬化に時間がかかり、成形に要する時間が長くなり、生産性が低いという問題点があった。又、熱硬化性樹脂をマトリックス樹脂として使用した繊維強化複合材料の中間生産品をプレス等により形状変更する再加工が容易ではないという問題点があった。 However, when a thermosetting resin is used as the matrix resin, since a chemical reaction (curing reaction) of the thermosetting resin is involved during the molding of the fiber-reinforced composite material, it takes a long time to cure and the time required for molding becomes long, There was a problem that productivity was low. Further, there is a problem that it is not easy to reprocess the intermediate product of the fiber-reinforced composite material using the thermosetting resin as the matrix resin by changing the shape by pressing or the like.
 一方、熱可塑性樹脂は熱硬化性樹脂と異なり、繊維強化複合材料の成形時に化学反応(硬化反応)を伴わないので、成形に要する時間を短縮することが出来ること、又、成形中間加工品を積層して加圧加熱することにより任意の形状に加工できること、更に、溶融することにより容易に別の形状の成形品に加工できるので、繊維強化複合材料のマトリックス樹脂として熱可塑性樹脂が使用され始めている。 On the other hand, unlike a thermosetting resin, a thermoplastic resin does not involve a chemical reaction (curing reaction) at the time of molding a fiber-reinforced composite material, so that the time required for molding can be shortened. Since it can be processed into an arbitrary shape by laminating and heating under pressure, and it can be easily processed into a molded article of another shape by melting, thermoplastic resin has begun to be used as the matrix resin of the fiber-reinforced composite material. There is.
 又、熱可塑性樹脂をマトリックス樹脂として使用した場合に繊維との親和性が低く、繊維強化複合材料の強度が低いということから、繊維表面に熱可塑性樹脂と繊維との親和性を向上させる集束剤、サイジング剤を処理する技術が提案されている(特許文献2~4)。 Further, when a thermoplastic resin is used as a matrix resin, the affinity for fibers is low, and the strength of the fiber-reinforced composite material is low. Therefore, a sizing agent for improving the affinity between the thermoplastic resin and the fibers on the fiber surface. A technique for treating a sizing agent has been proposed (Patent Documents 2 to 4).
 従来、熱可塑性樹脂を用いた繊維強化複合材料の成形では、補強繊維を10mm以下程度に切断して、短繊維として、熱可塑性樹脂ペレットと混合してエクストルーダーを用いて押し出して金型で成形する方法が一般的である。しかし、このような材料・方法によると、補強繊維がエクストルーダー内でさらに短く且つランダムに配向するので、繊維の強度や弾性率を効率的に繊維強化複合材料に活用することは出来なかった。補強繊維の性能を有効に活用するためには、連続した長繊維を補強材として、連続繊維からなる基材に樹脂を付与して繊維強化複合材料を製造することが望ましい。 Conventionally, in molding a fiber-reinforced composite material using a thermoplastic resin, the reinforcing fiber is cut into about 10 mm or less, mixed with thermoplastic resin pellets as short fibers, extruded using an extruder, and molded in a mold. The method is generally used. However, according to such a material and method, the reinforcing fibers are oriented shorter and randomly in the extruder, so that the strength and elastic modulus of the fibers cannot be efficiently utilized in the fiber-reinforced composite material. In order to effectively utilize the performance of the reinforcing fiber, it is desirable to produce a fiber-reinforced composite material by using a continuous long fiber as a reinforcing material and adding a resin to a base material made of continuous fiber.

 マトリックス樹脂と繊維との親和性以外に繊維強化複合材料の性能に影響するものの1つとして、繊維強化複合材料の内部の空隙(ボイド)の量が挙げられる。そして、ボイドの量が少ないほど引張強度等の物性を高めることが出来るので、ボイドの量を少なくすることが望ましい。しかし、繊維強化複合材料に使用される補強繊維の形態は、直径が5~10μm程度の単糸を数千本~数万本束ねて構成する糸束であるので、成形に使用される樹脂の粘度が高いと、糸束内の単糸間や糸束間の隙間に樹脂を侵入させて埋め込むことが困難であり、ボイドが多く形成されて、力学特性の優れた繊維強化複合材料を成形することが困難となる。 The amount of voids inside the fiber-reinforced composite material is one of the factors that affect the performance of the fiber-reinforced composite material other than the affinity between the matrix resin and the fiber. Since the physical properties such as tensile strength can be enhanced as the amount of voids decreases, it is desirable to reduce the amount of voids. However, the form of the reinforcing fiber used in the fiber-reinforced composite material is a yarn bundle formed by bundling thousands to tens of thousands of single yarns having a diameter of about 5 to 10 μm. When the viscosity is high, it is difficult to infiltrate and embed the resin in the spaces between the single yarns in the yarn bundle or between the yarn bundles, and many voids are formed to form a fiber-reinforced composite material with excellent mechanical properties. Becomes difficult.
 そして、熱可塑性樹脂の場合、熱硬化性樹脂の硬化前の粘度と比較して溶融粘度が高いので、単糸間や糸束間の隙間への樹脂の含浸が困難であり、特に強化繊維として連続した長繊維を用いた、繊維束の織物や不織布状の基材を用いた場合、ボイドのない繊維強化複合材料を生産することが困難であった。 And, in the case of a thermoplastic resin, since the melt viscosity is higher than the viscosity of the thermosetting resin before curing, it is difficult to impregnate the resin into the gaps between single yarns or yarn bundles, especially as a reinforced fiber. It was difficult to produce a void-free fiber-reinforced composite material when using a woven fabric or a non-woven fabric-like base material of continuous fiber bundles.
 尚、特許文献1に記載の発明は、50℃における粘度が1,000ポイズを超え、20,000ポイズ以下のエポキシ樹脂と、オキシアルキレン単位を有するポリオールとポリイソシアネートとから得られる水酸基を有するウレタン化合物とからサイジング剤を形成し、該サイジング剤で炭素繊維を処理することに関する発明であり、サイジング剤の付着量が固形分換算で0.1~10重量%である炭素繊維が開示されている。しかし、サイジング剤のこの程度の付着量では、連続繊維で構成する糸束の単糸間や糸束間の空隙を完全に埋め得る量ではなく、ボイドのない繊維強化複合材料を成形することが困難であった。 The invention described in Patent Document 1 is a urethane having a hydroxyl group obtained from an epoxy resin having a viscosity at 50° C. of more than 1,000 poise and not more than 20,000 poise, a polyol having an oxyalkylene unit and a polyisocyanate. It is an invention relating to forming a sizing agent from a compound and treating the carbon fiber with the sizing agent, and discloses a carbon fiber in which the amount of the sizing agent attached is 0.1 to 10% by weight in terms of solid content. .. However, with such an amount of the sizing agent attached, it is not an amount that can completely fill the voids between the single yarns of the yarn bundle composed of continuous fibers and between the yarn bundles, and it is possible to form a fiber-reinforced composite material without voids. It was difficult.
 又、特許文献2、3及び4に記載の発明は、連続繊維束に変成ポリオレフィンを集束剤として付与し、マトリックス樹脂としての熱可塑性樹脂と繊維との親和性を向上させる技術である。 Further, the inventions described in Patent Documents 2, 3 and 4 are techniques for improving the affinity between the thermoplastic resin as the matrix resin and the fiber by adding the modified polyolefin as the sizing agent to the continuous fiber bundle.
 そして、特許文献2~4に記載された技術は、集束剤の付与量が繊維に対して1~10質量%であり、単糸間の隙間を完全に埋めて充填することが出来る量ではなく、単糸同士を点接触で連結させるものにすぎず、ボイドのない繊維強化複合材料を成形することが困難であった。又、乾燥処理をすると変成ポリオレフィンが熱硬化するので、熱可塑性樹脂をマトリックスとした連続繊維強化複合材料用の繊維基材に適用することは出来なかった。 In addition, in the techniques described in Patent Documents 2 to 4, the amount of the sizing agent applied is 1 to 10% by mass with respect to the fiber, and the amount is not such that the gap between the single yarns can be completely filled and filled. However, it is only to connect single yarns by point contact, and it is difficult to form a fiber-reinforced composite material without voids. Further, since the modified polyolefin is thermally cured by the drying treatment, it cannot be applied to a fiber base material for a continuous fiber reinforced composite material using a thermoplastic resin as a matrix.
 しかし、熱硬化性樹脂に比べ、成形容易等の熱可塑性樹脂の優位性から、熱可塑性樹脂をマトリックス樹脂として用いた繊維強化複合材料を自動車等の軽量化の手段として適用することが強く要望されている。 However, due to the superiority of thermoplastic resins such as ease of molding over thermosetting resins, there is a strong demand for application of fiber-reinforced composite materials using thermoplastic resins as matrix resins as a means for reducing the weight of automobiles and the like. ing.
 そこで、本開示は、強化繊維を用いて成形する、熱可塑性樹脂をマトリックス樹脂とした繊維強化複合材料においてボイドの発生を防止し、強度及び弾性率等の力学特性を高めることを目的とする。 Therefore, the present disclosure aims to prevent the occurrence of voids and enhance mechanical properties such as strength and elastic modulus in a fiber-reinforced composite material in which a thermoplastic resin is used as a matrix resin and molded using reinforcing fibers.
 又、集束剤やサイジング剤等を使用しなくても、強化繊維と熱可塑性樹脂のマトリックス樹脂との固定力を向上させ、繊維強化複合材料の強度を高めることを目的とする。 Also, the purpose is to improve the fixing force between the reinforcing fiber and the matrix resin of the thermoplastic resin and increase the strength of the fiber-reinforced composite material without using a sizing agent or a sizing agent.

 以上のような本開示によれば、繊維基材の繊維間の空間に熱可塑性ポリウレタンが充填されて構成されているので、繊維間に合成樹脂を隙間なく充填させることが可能となり、強化繊維を用いて成形する熱可塑性樹脂をマトリックス樹脂とした繊維強化複合材料においてボイドの発生を防止し、マトリックス樹脂と繊維基材との固定が強固となり、繊維強化複合材料の強度や剛性などの力学特性を高めることが可能となった。 According to the present disclosure as described above, since the space between the fibers of the fiber base material is configured to be filled with the thermoplastic polyurethane, it becomes possible to fill the synthetic resin between the fibers without a gap, and Prevents the occurrence of voids in the fiber-reinforced composite material that uses the thermoplastic resin as a matrix resin for molding, and strengthens the fixation between the matrix resin and the fiber base material, and improves the mechanical properties such as strength and rigidity of the fiber-reinforced composite material. It has become possible to raise it.
 更に、熱可塑性ポリウレタンに架橋剤が付与されているので、繊維間に充填させた合成樹脂を強固に保持することが出来るので、強化繊維を用いて成形する熱可塑性樹脂をマトリックス樹脂とした繊維強化複合材料においてボイドの発生をより防止可能となり、マトリックス樹脂と繊維基材との固定がより強固となり、繊維強化複合材料の強度や剛性などの力学特性をより高めることが可能となった。 Furthermore, since a cross-linking agent is added to the thermoplastic polyurethane, it is possible to firmly hold the synthetic resin filled between the fibers, so that the thermoplastic resin molded using the reinforcing fibers is used as the matrix resin and is reinforced with fibers. Voids can be further prevented in the composite material, the matrix resin and the fiber base material are more firmly fixed, and the mechanical properties such as strength and rigidity of the fiber reinforced composite material can be further enhanced.
 又、繊維基材の繊維間の空間に充填される熱可塑性ポリウレタンと繊維基材の外表面に積層されるマトリックス樹脂の熱可塑性ポリウレタンが強固に接着するので、集束剤やサイジング剤等を使用しなくても、強化繊維と熱可塑性樹脂のマトリックス樹脂との固定力を向上させることが出来、繊維強化複合材料の強度を高めることが可能となった。 Further, since the thermoplastic polyurethane filled in the spaces between the fibers of the fiber base material and the thermoplastic polyurethane of the matrix resin laminated on the outer surface of the fiber base material firmly adhere to each other, a sizing agent or a sizing agent is used. Even without it, the fixing force between the reinforcing fiber and the matrix resin of the thermoplastic resin can be improved, and the strength of the fiber-reinforced composite material can be increased.
 又、成形が容易で、形体自由度の高い繊維強化複合材料を実現することが出来た。又、この繊維強化複合材料は熱可塑性樹脂をマトリックス樹脂として用いているので、再加熱して所望の形状の繊維強化複合材料に再成形することが容易となった。そして、これらの繊維強化複合材料の特性を生かして、自動車の躯体等に適用することにより、自動車の軽量化が出来、燃費を向上させることが出来た。 Also, it was possible to realize a fiber-reinforced composite material that is easy to mold and has a high degree of freedom in shape. Further, since this fiber-reinforced composite material uses a thermoplastic resin as a matrix resin, it becomes easy to reheat and re-mold it into a fiber-reinforced composite material having a desired shape. By applying the characteristics of these fiber-reinforced composite materials to the body of an automobile and the like, the weight of the automobile can be reduced and the fuel consumption can be improved.
 又、熱可塑性樹脂は化学反応を伴わないので、繊維間に樹脂を短時間で含浸させることが出来るので、繊維強化複合材料の成形サイクルを短縮出来、生産性向上によりコストダウンが可能となった。 Further, since the thermoplastic resin does not involve a chemical reaction, the resin can be impregnated between the fibers in a short time, so that the molding cycle of the fiber-reinforced composite material can be shortened and the productivity can be reduced to reduce the cost. ..
 以下本開示の実施の一形態を説明する。本開示の樹脂充填繊維基材は、繊維基材の繊維間の空間に熱可塑性ポリウレタンが充填されて構成され、熱可塑性ポリウレタンの繊維基材への付与量は、繊維基材100質量部に対し25質量部以上100質量部以下である樹脂充填繊維基材である。ここで、繊維間とは単糸間及び単糸を束ねた糸束間を意味する。又、本開示の繊維強化複合材料は、本開示の樹脂充填繊維基材が積層されて構成されている繊維強化複合材料である。又、本開示の繊維強化複合材料成形品は、1個又は2個以上の本開示の繊維強化複合材料で所定の形状に成形された成形品である。 An embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below. The resin-filled fiber substrate of the present disclosure is configured by filling the spaces between the fibers of the fiber substrate with thermoplastic polyurethane, and the amount of the thermoplastic polyurethane applied to the fiber substrate is 100 parts by mass of the fiber substrate. It is a resin-filled fiber base material of 25 parts by mass or more and 100 parts by mass or less. Here, between the fibers means between the single yarns and between the yarn bundles in which the single yarns are bundled. Further, the fiber-reinforced composite material of the present disclosure is a fiber-reinforced composite material formed by laminating the resin-filled fiber base material of the present disclosure. Further, the fiber-reinforced composite material molded product of the present disclosure is a molded product molded from one or more fiber-reinforced composite materials of the present disclosure into a predetermined shape.
 繊維基材は、合成樹脂の強化用の繊維を用いて構成する繊維強化複合材料の骨格部分であり、繊維及び繊維基材は熱可塑性樹脂で構成されるマトリックス樹脂を補強するためのものである。繊維基材の形状は特に限定されないが、シート状又は糸束状とすることが出来る。 The fiber base material is a skeleton portion of a fiber reinforced composite material formed by using fibers for reinforcing synthetic resin, and the fibers and the fiber base material are for reinforcing a matrix resin composed of a thermoplastic resin. .. The shape of the fiber base material is not particularly limited, but may be a sheet shape or a yarn bundle shape.
 シート状の繊維基材の形態としては、これに限定されないが、単糸又は複数本の単糸を束状にした糸束を編んだ編物、単糸又は糸束を織った織物、単糸を織らずに接着又は絡み合わせた不織布又は単糸又は糸束を一方向に引き揃えた状態の物、すだれ状物、紙状物等が挙げられる。糸束状の繊維基材の形態としては、これに限定されないが、複数本の単糸を編んで、或いは編まないで束状にした糸束、複数本の糸束を編んで、或いは編まないで束状にした物等が挙げられる。 The form of the sheet-shaped fibrous base material is not limited to this, but may be a knitted product obtained by knitting a single yarn or a bundle of plural single yarns in a bundle, a single yarn or a woven fabric of the yarn bundle, and a single yarn. Examples thereof include non-woven bonded or entangled non-woven fabrics, single yarns or yarn bundles aligned in one direction, interdigital products, paper-like products, and the like. The form of the fiber base material in the form of a yarn bundle is not limited to this, but a plurality of single yarns are knitted, or a yarn bundle formed into a bundle without knitting, a plurality of yarn bundles are knitted, or knitted. For example, a bundled product may be used.
 編物、織物、糸束状及び一方向に引き揃えた状態の繊維基材の場合、繊維は繊維基材の一端から他端まで連続した繊維を用いることが好ましく、不織布の場合にも繊維基材の一端から他端まで連続する長さ以上の繊維を用いることが好ましい。即ち、繊維強化複合材料の補強を行う部分には連続した長繊維を用いることが好ましい。このような構成とすることで、繊維強化複合材料の強度を高めることが可能となる。又、繊維基材の厚さは、繊維強化複合材料以下の厚さであれば特に限定されない。 In the case of a knitted fabric, a woven fabric, a fiber bundle in a state of being aligned in one direction, or a fiber base material in one direction, it is preferable to use continuous fibers from one end to the other end of the fiber base material. It is preferable to use a fiber having a continuous length or more from one end to the other end. That is, it is preferable to use continuous long fibers in the portion for reinforcing the fiber-reinforced composite material. With such a structure, the strength of the fiber-reinforced composite material can be increased. Further, the thickness of the fiber base material is not particularly limited as long as it is equal to or less than the fiber reinforced composite material.
 熱可塑性樹脂の補強材としての繊維は、特に限定されないが、炭素繊維、アラミド繊維、ガラス繊維、ビニロン繊維、PBO繊維等を使用することが出来る。又、これらの繊維は1種のみの使用でもよいが、2種以上を併用してもよい。繊維の直径は特に限定されないが、5~10μmのものを使用することが出来る。尚、単糸を束状にした糸束は、特に限定されないが、単糸を1,000~50,000本程度を束ねたものを使用することが出来る。 The fiber as the reinforcing material of the thermoplastic resin is not particularly limited, but carbon fiber, aramid fiber, glass fiber, vinylon fiber, PBO fiber, etc. can be used. These fibers may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Although the diameter of the fiber is not particularly limited, a fiber having a diameter of 5 to 10 μm can be used. The yarn bundle in which the single yarns are bundled is not particularly limited, but a bundle of about 1,000 to 50,000 single yarns can be used.
 繊維基材の繊維間の空間には熱可塑性ポリウレタンが充填されると共に、繊維基材の外表面には熱可塑性ポリウレタンが積層されて、樹脂充填繊維基材が構成されている。 ・The space between the fibers of the fiber base material is filled with thermoplastic polyurethane, and the outer surface of the fiber base material is laminated with thermoplastic polyurethane to form a resin-filled fiber base material.
 熱可塑性ポリウレタンは、繊維基材の繊維間の空間を埋めて繊維強化複合材料のボイドの発生を防止するためのものであり、又、繊維強化複合材料の変位に対して応力を高めるためのものである。繊維基材の繊維間の空間に充填する熱可塑性樹脂として熱可塑性ポリウレタンを用いるのは、乾燥状態で単糸間をつなぐことのできる製膜性が良いからである。又、繊維間の空間に充填される熱可塑性樹脂は、耐熱性が高いほど好ましい。更に、繊維強化複合材料は1層或いは複数層に積層して他の形状に再形成するので、熱可塑性樹脂が乾燥又は硬化した後にも熱可塑性を有することが好ましく、熱可塑性樹脂として熱可塑性ポリウレタンは、乾燥又は硬化した後にも充分な熱可塑性を有して平板状等の繊維強化複合材料を、曲面を有する製品等に再成形することが容易であるので好ましいからである。 The thermoplastic polyurethane is for filling the spaces between the fibers of the fiber base material to prevent generation of voids in the fiber reinforced composite material, and for increasing the stress against displacement of the fiber reinforced composite material. Is. The reason why the thermoplastic polyurethane is used as the thermoplastic resin that fills the spaces between the fibers of the fiber base material is that it has good film-forming properties that can connect the single yarns in a dry state. The thermoplastic resin with which the space between the fibers is filled is preferably as high in heat resistance as possible. Furthermore, since the fiber-reinforced composite material is laminated in one layer or a plurality of layers to be reformed into another shape, it is preferable that it has thermoplasticity even after the thermoplastic resin is dried or cured. As the thermoplastic resin, thermoplastic polyurethane is used. Is preferable since it is easy to remold a flat fiber-shaped fiber-reinforced composite material into a product having a curved surface or the like, which has sufficient thermoplasticity even after being dried or cured.
 又、熱可塑性ポリウレタンを繊維基材の繊維間の空間に充填する際の形態としては、特に限定されないが、繊維間の空間に確実且つ均一に充填するために、熱可塑性ポリウレタンの粒子を水媒体中に分散させた水系樹脂分散体の形態とすることが好ましい。 Further, the form of filling the space between the fibers of the fiber base material with the thermoplastic polyurethane is not particularly limited, but in order to surely and uniformly fill the space between the fibers, the particles of the thermoplastic polyurethane are mixed with an aqueous medium. It is preferably in the form of an aqueous resin dispersion dispersed therein.
 熱可塑性ポリウレタンの粒子の平均粒径は特に限定されないが、繊維間に均一に充填するために、0.01~1μm程度とすることが出来るが、繊維基材の繊維間の空間に短時間で充填するために、又、均一に充填させるため、繊維直径の1/10以下が好ましい。具体的には、繊維の直径は通常5~10μmであるので0.5μm以下が好ましく、より好ましくは0.1μm以下、更により好ましくは0.03μm以下である。熱可塑性ポリウレタンの粒子の平均粒径は、0.01μm以上0.2μm以下であることが好ましい。なお、熱可塑性ポリウレタンの粒子の平均粒径とは、レーザー回析光散乱法により測定された50%粒子径(D50)を意味している。 The average particle size of the thermoplastic polyurethane particles is not particularly limited, but may be set to about 0.01 to 1 μm in order to uniformly fill the spaces between the fibers, but the space between the fibers of the fiber base material may be shortened in a short time. In order to fill and evenly fill, 1/10 or less of the fiber diameter is preferable. Specifically, since the diameter of the fiber is usually 5 to 10 μm, it is preferably 0.5 μm or less, more preferably 0.1 μm or less, still more preferably 0.03 μm or less. The average particle diameter of the thermoplastic polyurethane particles is preferably 0.01 μm or more and 0.2 μm or less. The average particle diameter of the thermoplastic polyurethane particles means the 50% particle diameter (D50) measured by the laser diffraction light scattering method.
 熱可塑性ポリウレタンの粒子を水に分散させた水系樹脂分散体の不揮発分の濃度は特に限定されないが、単糸間の空間に熱可塑性樹脂が行き渡り易くし、且つ単糸間の空間を完全に埋めるために、粘度が低いことが好ましい一方、濃度が濃いことが好ましいので、水系樹脂分散体中の熱可塑性樹脂の粒子の質量割合は、20~40質量%が好ましく、更に好ましくは25~36質量%が好ましい。 The concentration of non-volatile components in the water-based resin dispersion in which thermoplastic polyurethane particles are dispersed in water is not particularly limited, but the thermoplastic resin easily spreads into the space between single yarns and completely fills the space between single yarns. Therefore, the viscosity is preferably low, while the concentration is preferably high. Therefore, the mass ratio of the particles of the thermoplastic resin in the aqueous resin dispersion is preferably 20 to 40% by mass, more preferably 25 to 36% by mass. % Is preferred.
 熱可塑性ポリウレタンは、ポリオールは特に限定されず、ポリエーテル系、ポリエステル系又はポリカーボネート系等が使用されるが、特に、耐熱性に優れた高硬度の被膜を形成可能であるので、ポリエーテル系が好ましい。 For the thermoplastic polyurethane, the polyol is not particularly limited, and a polyether type, a polyester type, a polycarbonate type, or the like is used. In particular, since a high hardness coating excellent in heat resistance can be formed, the polyether type is used. preferable.
 熱可塑性ポリウレタンの繊維基材への付与量は、繊維基材の繊維間の空間をより多く埋め得る量が好ましく、更には、完全に繊維基材の繊維間の空間を埋める以上の量がより好ましい。ここで、繊維束を構成する単糸の断面を円とし、繊維束中の単糸が細密充填状態にあるとすると、単糸間の空間の体積は次の式1で計算される。
(式1)100×(31/2-π/2)/(π/2)=10.2
The amount of the thermoplastic polyurethane applied to the fiber base material is preferably an amount capable of filling the spaces between the fibers of the fiber base material more, and more preferably, the amount more than completely filling the spaces between the fibers of the fiber base material. preferable. Here, assuming that the cross section of the single yarn constituting the fiber bundle is a circle and the single yarn in the fiber bundle is in a close packing state, the volume of the space between the single yarns is calculated by the following formula 1.
(Equation 1) 100×(3 1/2 −π/2)/(π/2)=10.2
 従って、熱可塑性ポリウレタンは、繊維束、即ち繊維基材の体積に対して10.2%の体積の量を付与することにより完全に繊維基材の繊維間の空間を埋めることが可能となる。そこで、繊維間の空間に充填される熱可塑性ポリウレタンの繊維基材への付与量は、繊維基材の体積に対して体積換算で、繊維基材の材質にもよるが、10%以上とすることが出来る。 Therefore, the thermoplastic polyurethane can completely fill the space between the fibers of the fiber base material by giving a volume of 10.2% to the volume of the fiber base material, that is, the fiber base material. Therefore, the amount of the thermoplastic polyurethane filled in the space between the fibers applied to the fiber base material is 10% or more in volume conversion with respect to the volume of the fiber base material, depending on the material of the fiber base material. You can
 しかし、実際には単糸間の単糸表面を熱可塑性ポリウレタンで覆うことが好ましいと共に繊維束の外表面即ち繊維基材の外表面への適度な積層を行ってマトリックス樹脂との接着性を向上させるために、又、ボイドのない熱可塑性樹脂複合材料を得るためには、熱可塑性ポリウレタンの繊維基材への付与量は、単糸間の空間を埋めるために必要とする体積以上の合成樹脂を繊維基材に付与することが好ましい。熱可塑性ポリウレタンの繊維基材への付与量は、繊維基材の体積に対して、体積換算で11%~30%の付与量がより好ましく、11%~20%の付与量がさらに好ましい。 However, in practice, it is preferable to cover the surface of the single yarn between the single yarns with thermoplastic polyurethane, and to improve the adhesion with the matrix resin by appropriately laminating the outer surface of the fiber bundle, that is, the outer surface of the fiber base material. In order to obtain a void-free thermoplastic resin composite material, the amount of thermoplastic polyurethane applied to the fiber base material is a synthetic resin having a volume not less than that required to fill the space between the single yarns. Is preferably applied to the fiber base material. The applied amount of the thermoplastic polyurethane to the fiber base material is more preferably 11% to 30%, and even more preferably 11% to 20%, based on the volume of the fiber base material.
 熱可塑性ポリウレタンを繊維基材の繊維間の空間に充填させる方法としては、特に限定されないが、熱可塑性ポリウレタンの粒子を水系媒体中に分散させた水系樹脂分散体を用いて、公知のスプレー法、浸漬法、ローラー含浸法等の均一に必要量を付与することができる方法を用いることが出来る。又、熱可塑性ポリウレタンを繊維基材の繊維間に付与後、水系樹脂分散体中の水性媒体及び熱可塑性ポリウレタン以外の成分を除去するために乾燥処理を施す。乾燥方法としては、熱風、乾燥ローラーに接触させる方法、赤外線加熱、天日、その他の加熱等の通常用いられる乾燥方法を採用することが出来る。 The method of filling the space between the fibers of the thermoplastic polyurethane is not particularly limited, using a water-based resin dispersion prepared by dispersing particles of the thermoplastic polyurethane in an aqueous medium, a known spray method, It is possible to use a method such as a dipping method or a roller impregnation method that can uniformly apply a required amount. Moreover, after applying the thermoplastic polyurethane between the fibers of the fiber base material, a drying treatment is performed to remove components other than the aqueous medium and the thermoplastic polyurethane in the aqueous resin dispersion. As a drying method, a method of contacting with hot air or a drying roller, a commonly used drying method such as infrared heating, sunlight, or other heating can be adopted.
 このように、熱可塑性ポリウレタンの粒子を水系媒体中に分散させた水系樹脂分散体を繊維基材に含浸させることにより、単糸間及び糸束間に熱可塑性ポリウレタンが行き渡り易くなり、繊維間の空間を熱可塑性ポリウレタンで完全に充填することが出来、ボイドの発生を防止することが出来、より力学特性の高い繊維強化複合材料を実現することが出来る。 Thus, by impregnating the fiber base material with the water-based resin dispersion in which the particles of the thermoplastic polyurethane are dispersed in the water-based medium, the thermoplastic polyurethane easily spreads between the single yarns and between the yarn bundles, and between the fibers. The space can be completely filled with the thermoplastic polyurethane, the generation of voids can be prevented, and a fiber-reinforced composite material with higher mechanical properties can be realized.
 又、熱可塑性ポリウレタンは、繊維強化複合材料の母材となるものであり、マトリックス樹脂として用いられる熱可塑性樹脂は、繊維間の空間に充填される熱可塑性樹脂と同じ熱可塑性ポリウレタンである。マトリックス樹脂としての熱可塑性ポリウレタンは繊維基材の外表面の全面に積層されて構成されているが、繊維基材の外表面の一部にのみ積層されて構成されてもよい。 Further, the thermoplastic polyurethane is a base material of the fiber reinforced composite material, and the thermoplastic resin used as the matrix resin is the same thermoplastic polyurethane as the thermoplastic resin filled in the spaces between the fibers. The thermoplastic polyurethane as the matrix resin is laminated on the entire outer surface of the fiber base material, but may be laminated on only a part of the outer surface of the fiber base material.
 繊維基材の外表面に積層される熱可塑性ポリウレタンは、例えば、繊維基材がシート状の場合、シート状の繊維基材の上下面両方、上下面の内いずれか一方の面の全面又は一部分にのみ積層される構成でもよい。そして、マトリックス樹脂が、1枚の樹脂充填繊維基材の上下両面に配置された3層構造や、1枚の樹脂充填繊維基材の上面又は下面の何れかの面に配置された2層構造等とすることが出来る。又、繊維基材が糸束状の場合、糸束状の繊維基材の側面の全面又は一部分にのみ積層された構成でもよい。 The thermoplastic polyurethane laminated on the outer surface of the fiber base material is, for example, when the fiber base material is in the form of a sheet, both the upper and lower surfaces of the sheet-like fiber base material and the entire surface or a part of one of the upper and lower surfaces. It is also possible to have a structure in which only one layer is laminated. Then, the matrix resin has a three-layer structure in which it is arranged on both upper and lower surfaces of one resin-filled fiber base material, and a two-layer structure in which one of the upper surface and the lower surface of one resin-filled fiber base material is arranged. And so on. When the fiber base material is in the form of a yarn bundle, the fiber base material in the form of a yarn bundle may be laminated on the entire side surface or only a part thereof.
 マトリックス樹脂として熱可塑性ポリウレタンを用いるのは、乾燥状態で、糸束同士や繊維基材同士をつなぐことのできる製膜性が良いからである。又、マトリックス樹脂は、耐熱性が高いほど好ましく、耐熱性に優れた熱可塑性ポリウレタンは好ましいからである。更に、繊維強化複合材料は1層或いは複数層に積層して他の形状に再形成するので、熱可塑性を有することが好ましく、乾燥又は硬化した後にも充分な熱可塑性を有して平板状等の繊維強化複合材料を、曲面を有する製品等に再成形することが容易であるので好ましいからである。 The reason why thermoplastic polyurethane is used as the matrix resin is that it has good film-forming properties that can connect yarn bundles or fiber substrates in a dry state. Further, the higher the heat resistance of the matrix resin is, the more preferable, and the thermoplastic polyurethane having excellent heat resistance is preferable. Furthermore, since the fiber reinforced composite material is laminated in one layer or a plurality of layers to be reformed into another shape, it is preferable that it has thermoplasticity, and has sufficient thermoplasticity even after being dried or cured to have a flat plate shape or the like. This is because it is easy to remold the fiber-reinforced composite material of (1) into a product having a curved surface, which is preferable.
 又、マトリックス樹脂の熱可塑性ポリウレタンを繊維基材に積層する際の形態としては、繊維基材に確実且つ均一に積層するためには、熱可塑性ポリウレタンの粒子を水媒体中に分散させた水系樹脂分散体の形態とすることが好ましい。尚、マトリックス樹脂としての熱可塑性ポリウレタンの粒子の直径、熱可塑性ポリウレタンの粒子を水に分散させた水系樹脂分散体の不揮発分の濃度及びポリオールは特に限定されないが、繊維間の空間に充填される熱可塑性ポリウレタンと同じとすることが出来る。 In addition, as a form of laminating the thermoplastic polyurethane of the matrix resin on the fiber base material, in order to surely and evenly laminate on the fiber base material, an aqueous resin in which particles of the thermoplastic polyurethane are dispersed in an aqueous medium is used. It is preferably in the form of a dispersion. Incidentally, the diameter of the particles of thermoplastic polyurethane as the matrix resin, the concentration of non-volatile components of the water-based resin dispersion prepared by dispersing the particles of thermoplastic polyurethane in water, and the polyol are not particularly limited, but the spaces between the fibers are filled. It can be the same as the thermoplastic polyurethane.
 樹脂充填繊維基材又は繊維強化複合材料の製造の際に、熱可塑性ポリウレタンをマトリックス樹脂として繊維基材に積層させる方法としては、特に限定されないが、熱可塑性ポリウレタンの繊維間の空間への充填と同時に行うことが好ましい。同時に行うことで、繊維強化複合材料の製造を容易とすることが出来る。同時に行う場合には、上述の熱可塑性ポリウレタンを繊維基材の繊維間の空間に充填させる方法で行うことが出来る。尚、熱可塑性ポリウレタンをマトリックス樹脂として繊維基材に積層させる工程を、熱可塑性ポリウレタンの繊維基材の繊維間の空間への充填の工程と別工程で行い、単独で繊維基材に積層することとしてもよい。この場合、例えばこれに限定されないが、マトリックス樹脂となるフィルム状の熱可塑性ポリウレタンを熱可塑性ポリウレタンが充填された繊維基材に積層し、加圧下でマトリックス樹脂を加熱し、マトリックス樹脂を溶融させ、繊維基材とマトリックス樹脂を接着させて製造することが出来る。 At the time of producing a resin-filled fiber base material or a fiber-reinforced composite material, the method for laminating thermoplastic polyurethane on the fiber base material as a matrix resin is not particularly limited, and filling of spaces between fibers of thermoplastic polyurethane and It is preferable to carry out at the same time. By carrying out at the same time, the production of the fiber-reinforced composite material can be facilitated. When it is carried out simultaneously, it can be carried out by a method of filling the space between the fibers of the fiber base material with the above-mentioned thermoplastic polyurethane. It should be noted that the step of laminating the thermoplastic polyurethane as a matrix resin on the fiber base material is performed separately from the step of filling the space between the fibers of the fiber base material of the thermoplastic polyurethane, and the thermoplastic polyurethane is laminated on the fiber base material independently. May be In this case, for example, but not limited thereto, a film-shaped thermoplastic polyurethane serving as a matrix resin is laminated on a fiber substrate filled with thermoplastic polyurethane, and the matrix resin is heated under pressure to melt the matrix resin, It can be manufactured by bonding a fiber base material and a matrix resin.
 そして、繊維強化複合材料は、繊維間の空間に熱可塑性ポリウレタンが充填された複数の繊維基材とマトリックス樹脂とが積層されて、言い換えれば、樹脂充填繊維基材が積層されて、繊維基材がマトリックス樹脂に挟まれた或いは被覆された構造とする。そして、その積層の形態は特に限定されず、樹脂充填繊維基材がシート状の場合、1枚の繊維基材の上下両面にマトリックス樹脂が配置された3層構造の樹脂充填繊維基材が積層された構造、複数の繊維基材とマトリックス樹脂が交互に積層された構造等とすることが出来る。又、樹脂充填繊維基材が紐状の場合、1本の繊維基材の外側面にマトリックス樹脂が配置され、繊維基材とマトリックス樹脂が積層された2層構造、更に、1本の繊維基材の外側面のマトッリクス樹脂の外側に1本以上の樹脂充填繊維基材が配置されると共に樹脂充填繊維基材の外側面にマトリックス樹脂が配置され、積層された構造等とすることが出来る。 The fiber-reinforced composite material is formed by laminating a plurality of fiber base materials in which spaces between the fibers are filled with thermoplastic polyurethane and a matrix resin, in other words, by laminating a resin-filled fiber base material to form a fiber base material. Is sandwiched between or covered with a matrix resin. The form of lamination is not particularly limited, and when the resin-filled fiber base material is in the form of a sheet, a resin-filled fiber base material having a three-layer structure in which a matrix resin is arranged on both upper and lower surfaces of one fiber base material is laminated. It is possible to adopt a structured structure, a structure in which a plurality of fiber base materials and a matrix resin are alternately laminated, or the like. When the resin-filled fiber base material is in the form of a string, a matrix resin is arranged on the outer surface of one fiber base material, and a two-layer structure in which the fiber base material and the matrix resin are laminated, and one fiber base material One or more resin-filled fiber base materials may be arranged on the outer side surface of the material on the outer side of the matrix resin, and the matrix resin may be arranged on the outer side surface of the resin-filled fiber base material to form a laminated structure.

The cross-linking agent cross-links the thermoplastic polyurethane molecules filled in the spaces between the fibers, the thermoplastic polyurethane molecules as the matrix, and the thermoplastic polyurethane molecules filled in the spaces between the fibers and the thermoplastic polyurethane molecules as the matrix. The purpose of this is to prevent the thermoplastic polyurethane from flowing out from the space between the fibers and to securely fix the matrix resin to the fiber base material. Therefore, the cross-linking agent is for increasing the stress against the displacement of the fiber-reinforced composite material.

 次に、樹脂充填繊維基材及び繊維強化複合材料の製造方法について説明する。尚、以下の説明では、架橋剤を添加する場合について説明するが、架橋剤を添加しない場合には、以下の方法における架橋剤の添加工程を省いて行えばよい。熱可塑性ポリウレタンの粒子及び架橋剤を水媒体中に分散させた組成物としての水系樹脂分散体を用いて、公知のスプレー法やローラー含浸法等により、繊維基材と水系樹脂分散体とを接触させる。そして、繊維基材の繊維間の空間に熱可塑性ポリウレタンの粒子を充填させると共に、繊維基材の外表面へ熱可塑性ポリウレタンの粒子を付着させて積層し、同時に架橋剤を繊維基材の繊維間の空間内及び繊維の外表面に付着した熱可塑性ポリウレタン分子間に付着させて添加する。次に、水系樹脂分散体中の水媒体を除去するために、加熱乾燥等の乾燥処理を行い、樹脂充填繊維基材を形成する。 Next, a method of manufacturing the resin-filled fiber base material and the fiber-reinforced composite material will be described. In the following description, the case where a crosslinking agent is added will be described, but when the crosslinking agent is not added, the step of adding the crosslinking agent in the following method may be omitted. Using a water-based resin dispersion as a composition in which particles of a thermoplastic polyurethane and a cross-linking agent are dispersed in an aqueous medium, the fiber base material and the water-based resin dispersion are contacted by a known spray method or roller impregnation method. Let Then, the spaces between the fibers of the fiber base material are filled with particles of the thermoplastic polyurethane, and the particles of the thermoplastic polyurethane are adhered to the outer surface of the fiber base material to be laminated, and at the same time, a cross-linking agent is applied between the fibers of the fiber base material. And is added between the thermoplastic polyurethane molecules attached to the outer space of the fiber and the outer surface of the fiber. Next, in order to remove the aqueous medium in the aqueous resin dispersion, a drying treatment such as heat drying is performed to form a resin-filled fiber base material.
 尚、熱可塑性ポリウレタンの粒子を水媒体中に分散させた水系樹脂分散体を用いて、繊維基材の繊維間の空間に熱可塑性ポリウレタンの粒子を充填させると共に、繊維基材の外表面へ熱可塑性ポリウレタンの粒子を付着させて積層した後、水溶液や有機溶液に分散させた架橋剤を用いて、公知のスプレー法やローラー含浸法等により、繊維基材に付着した熱可塑性ポリウレタンの粒子と接触させ、架橋剤を繊維基材の繊維間の空間内及び繊維の外表面に付着した熱可塑性ポリウレタン分子間に付着させることとしてもよい。又、繊維基材の繊維間の空間及び外表面に架橋剤を付与した後、熱可塑性ポリウレタンの粒子を繊維基材の繊維間の空間及び外表面に付与し、架橋剤を、繊維基材の繊維間の空間内及び繊維の外表面に付着した熱可塑性ポリウレタン分子間に添加させることとしてもよい。 It should be noted that, using an aqueous resin dispersion prepared by dispersing thermoplastic polyurethane particles in an aqueous medium, the spaces between the fibers of the fiber base material are filled with the thermoplastic polyurethane particles, and heat is applied to the outer surface of the fiber base material. After the particles of the plastic polyurethane are adhered and laminated, a cross-linking agent dispersed in an aqueous solution or an organic solution is used to contact the particles of the thermoplastic polyurethane adhered to the fiber substrate by a known spray method or roller impregnation method. Alternatively, the cross-linking agent may be attached in the spaces between the fibers of the fiber base material and between the thermoplastic polyurethane molecules attached to the outer surfaces of the fibers. Further, after applying a cross-linking agent to the spaces between the fibers of the fiber base material and the outer surface, particles of thermoplastic polyurethane are applied to the spaces between the fibers of the fiber base material and the outer surface, and the cross-linking agent is added to the fiber base material. It may be added in the spaces between the fibers and between the thermoplastic polyurethane molecules attached to the outer surfaces of the fibers.
 そして、シート状の繊維基材の場合、繊維間の空間に熱可塑性ポリウレタン及び架橋剤が充填されると共に上下両面にマトリックス樹脂が積層されたシート状の繊維基材、即ち1枚の樹脂充填繊維基材の上下両面にマトリックス樹脂が配置された構造のシート状の樹脂充填繊維基材を複数積層し、加圧下でマトリックス樹脂を加熱し、マトリックス樹脂を溶融させる。そして、樹脂充填繊維基材のマトリックス樹脂同士を接着させてシート状の繊維強化複合材料を製造する。 In the case of a sheet-shaped fiber base material, a space between the fibers is filled with thermoplastic polyurethane and a crosslinking agent, and a matrix resin is laminated on both upper and lower surfaces, that is, one resin-filled fiber. A plurality of sheet-shaped resin-filled fiber base materials having a structure in which the matrix resin is arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the base material are laminated, and the matrix resin is heated under pressure to melt the matrix resin. Then, the matrix resins of the resin-filled fiber base material are adhered to each other to produce a sheet-shaped fiber-reinforced composite material.
 尚、繊維基材の上下の片面にのみマトリックス樹脂が積層された繊維基材の場合には、樹脂充填繊維基材をマトリックス樹脂が積層された面と積層されていない面とを対向させて複数積層し、加圧下でマトリックス樹脂を加熱し、マトリックス樹脂を溶融させ、対向する一方の樹脂充填繊維基材の繊維基材と他方の樹脂充填繊維基材のマトリックス樹脂を接着させて繊維強化複合材料を製造する。 In the case of a fiber base material in which the matrix resin is laminated only on one side of the upper and lower sides of the fiber base material, the resin-filled fiber base material is made into a plurality of layers with the surface on which the matrix resin is laminated and the surface not laminated facing each other. Layering, heating the matrix resin under pressure, melting the matrix resin, and adhering the fiber base material of one resin-filled fiber base material and the matrix resin of the other resin-filled fiber base material facing each other To manufacture.
 又、糸束状の繊維基材の場合、繊維基材として糸束状の繊維束を使用して樹脂充填繊維基材を形成する。繊維間の空間に熱可塑性ポリウレタン及び架橋剤が充填されると共に繊維基材の表面にマトリックス樹脂が積層された糸束状の繊維基材、即ち1本の樹脂充填繊維基材の外表面にマトリックス樹脂が配置された2層構造の紐状の樹脂充填繊維基材を製造し、更にその2層構造の樹脂充填繊維基材を複数本束ねて、複数積層し、加圧下でマトリックス樹脂を加熱し、マトリックス樹脂を溶融させる。そして、樹脂充填繊維基材のマトリックス樹脂同士を接着させて紐状の繊維強化複合材料を製造する。尚、繊維基材とマトリックス樹脂とを積層するとは、マトリックス樹脂で繊維基材を被覆することも含まれる。 Also, in the case of a yarn bundle-shaped fiber base material, a resin-filled fiber base material is formed by using a yarn bundle-shaped fiber bundle as the fiber base material. A fiber bundle-like fiber base material in which a space between fibers is filled with thermoplastic polyurethane and a cross-linking agent and a matrix resin is laminated on the surface of the fiber base material, that is, a matrix is provided on the outer surface of one resin-filled fiber base material. A two-layer structure string-shaped resin-filled fiber base material in which a resin is arranged is manufactured, and a plurality of the two-layer structure resin-filled fiber base materials are bundled and laminated, and the matrix resin is heated under pressure. , Melt the matrix resin. Then, the matrix resins of the resin-filled fiber base material are adhered to each other to manufacture a string-shaped fiber-reinforced composite material. In addition, laminating the fiber base material and the matrix resin also includes covering the fiber base material with the matrix resin.
 又、複数の糸束状の樹脂充填繊維基材を束ねて、加圧下で加熱し、マトリックス樹脂を溶融させ、マトリックス樹脂同士を接着させて繊維強化複合材料を製造することとしてもよい。 Alternatively, a plurality of thread-bundle-shaped resin-filled fiber base materials may be bundled, heated under pressure to melt the matrix resin, and the matrix resins are adhered to each other to produce the fiber-reinforced composite material.
 又、マトリックス樹脂は上述の様に、繊維間の空間に充填される熱可塑性ポリウレタンと同時に繊維基材に付着させるのではなく、別工程で繊維基材に付着させてもよい。例えば、フィルム状の熱可塑性ポリウレタンを用い、繊維間の空間に熱可塑性ポリウレタンが充填された繊維基材とフィルム状のマトリックス樹脂を積層し、加圧下で加熱し、マトリックス樹脂を溶融させ、マトリックス樹脂と熱可塑性ポリウレタンが充填された繊維基材を接着させて樹脂充填繊維基材又は繊維強化複合材料を製造することとしてもよい。このような製造方法の場合、架橋剤を繊維間の空間に充填される熱可塑性ポリウレタンとマトリックス樹脂としての熱可塑性ポリウレタンの双方に添加することも出来るが、いずれか一方のみに添加することも出来る。 Also, as described above, the matrix resin may be attached to the fiber base material in a separate step, instead of being attached to the fiber base material at the same time as the thermoplastic polyurethane filling the space between the fibers. For example, a film-like thermoplastic polyurethane is used, a fiber base material in which spaces between fibers are filled with the thermoplastic polyurethane and a film-like matrix resin are laminated, and heated under pressure to melt the matrix resin, The resin-filled fiber base material or the fiber-reinforced composite material may be manufactured by adhering the fiber base material filled with the thermoplastic polyurethane with each other. In the case of such a production method, the cross-linking agent can be added to both the thermoplastic polyurethane filled in the spaces between the fibers and the thermoplastic polyurethane as the matrix resin, but can be added to only one of them. ..
 フィルム状のマトリックス樹脂を用いる場合、マトリックス樹脂を熱可塑性ポリウレタンが充填された繊維基材の全表面に設置してもよいが、シート状の繊維基材の上下面の一方のみに設置し、或いは糸束の長さ方向の両端面等には設置しないで製造し、樹脂充填繊維基材の一部表面にのみマトリックス樹脂を設置する構成としてもよい。 When a film-shaped matrix resin is used, the matrix resin may be installed on the entire surface of the fiber substrate filled with thermoplastic polyurethane, but it may be installed on only one of the upper and lower surfaces of the sheet-shaped fiber substrate, or The yarn bundle may be manufactured without being installed on both end surfaces in the length direction and the matrix resin may be installed only on a part of the surface of the resin-filled fiber base material.
 又、樹脂充填繊維基材は、溶融したマトリックス樹脂を金型等に注入して、金型内に配置された、繊維間の空間へ熱可塑性ポリウレタンが充填された繊維基材にマトリックス樹脂を付与し、繊維基材とマトリックス樹脂を接着固化させて積層して製造することも出来る。 In addition, the resin-filled fiber base material is obtained by injecting molten matrix resin into a mold or the like, and applying the matrix resin to the fiber base material filled with thermoplastic polyurethane in the space between the fibers, which is placed in the mold. Alternatively, the fiber base material and the matrix resin may be adhered and solidified and laminated to manufacture.
 又、繊維強化複合材料を製造する場合、上述のようにして成形した繊維強化複合材料を複数積層して、加圧下で加熱し、マトリックス樹脂同士を溶融させ、接着させて製造することとしてもよい。 When manufacturing a fiber-reinforced composite material, a plurality of fiber-reinforced composite materials molded as described above may be laminated and heated under pressure to melt and bond the matrix resins to each other. ..
 次に、繊維強化複合材料成形品の製造方法について説明する。繊維強化複合材料を単独で、金型に入れて、加圧下で加熱すると同時に所定の形状に成形して繊維強化複合材料成形品を製造する。又、複数の繊維強化複合材料を積層し、束ね又は引き揃え、型に入れて、加圧下で加熱すると同時に所定の形状に成形して繊維強化複合材料成形品を製造する。 Next, a method for manufacturing a fiber-reinforced composite material molded product will be described. The fiber-reinforced composite material alone is put into a mold, heated under pressure, and simultaneously molded into a predetermined shape to manufacture a fiber-reinforced composite material molded product. Further, a plurality of fiber-reinforced composite materials are laminated, bundled or aligned, put in a mold, heated under pressure, and simultaneously molded into a predetermined shape to manufacture a fiber-reinforced composite material molded product.

 表1及び表2より明らかなように、熱可塑性ポリウレタンを繊維基材100質量部に対し25質量部以上100質量部以下付与して、繊維基材の繊維間の空間に熱可塑性ポリウレタンが充填されると共に、繊維基材の外表面にマトリックス樹脂としての熱可塑性ポリウレタンが積層することにより、曲げ強度が高くなることが分かる。更に、架橋剤を繊維基材100質量部に対して、固形分換算で0.5質量部以上10質量部以下の範囲で熱可塑性ポリウレタンに添加することにより、曲げ強度がさらに高くなることが分かる。 As is clear from Table 1 and Table 2, the thermoplastic polyurethane is applied to 25 parts by mass or more and 100 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the fiber base material, and the space between the fibers of the fiber base material is filled with the thermoplastic polyurethane. In addition, it is understood that the bending strength is increased by laminating the thermoplastic polyurethane as the matrix resin on the outer surface of the fiber base material. Further, it is found that the bending strength is further increased by adding the crosslinking agent to the thermoplastic polyurethane in the range of 0.5 parts by mass or more and 10 parts by mass or less in terms of solid content with respect to 100 parts by mass of the fiber base material. ..
 熱可塑性ポリウレタンの粒子を水系媒体中に分散させた水系樹脂分散体を繊維基材に含浸させて、繊維基材の繊維間の空間に熱可塑性ポリウレタンを充填させると共に、熱可塑性ポリウレタンのマトリックス樹脂で繊維基材を挟み込んで繊維強化複合材料を製造することにより、ボイドのない繊維強化熱可塑性樹脂複合材料を容易に製造することが出来、且つ製造時間の短縮を図ることが出来る。従って、力学特性の優れた繊維強化複合材料を確実に供給することが出来、例えば自動車等の様々な製品の軽量化や強度の向上に寄与することが出来、様々な製品の材料として使用することが出来る。 A fiber-based material is impregnated with an aqueous resin dispersion in which thermoplastic polyurethane particles are dispersed in an aqueous medium to fill the spaces between the fibers of the fiber-based material with the thermoplastic polyurethane, and at the same time, the thermoplastic polyurethane matrix resin is used. By producing a fiber reinforced composite material by sandwiching a fiber base material, a void-free fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin composite material can be easily produced and the production time can be shortened. Therefore, it is possible to reliably supply a fiber-reinforced composite material having excellent mechanical properties, which can contribute to weight reduction and strength improvement of various products such as automobiles, and can be used as a material for various products.
