A polyamide resin composition for a molded article exposed to high-pressure hydrogen contains a polyamide resin (A) including a unit derived from hexamethylenediamine and a unit derived from an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid of 8 to 12 carbon atoms and an ethylene/α-olefin copolymer (B) modified with an unsaturated carboxylic acid and/or a derivative thereof. The polyamide resin composition provides a molded article having excellent flexibility and heat cycle resistance and less likely to suffer failure points despite repeated charging and discharging of high-pressure hydrogen.

A sheet containing a carbon fiber and a fluororesin layer disposed around a carbon monofilament constituting the carbon fiber. A fluororesin constituting the fluororesin layer is polyvinylidene fluoride. Further, the sheet has a tensile strength of 400 MPa or higher. Also disclosed is a laminate including a first layer and a second layer that is disposed on the first layer and that includes the sheet; a pipe including the laminate; a riser tube including the pipe and a flowline including the pipe.

An article of manufacture includes a macromolecular block copolymer. The macromolecular block copolymer includes a first extruded high molecular weight polymer and a second extruded high molecular weight polymer bonded to the first extruded high molecular weight polymer. The first extruded high molecular weight polymer has a first characteristic rigidity value along a first length, and the second extruded high molecular weight polymer has a second characteristic rigidity value along a second length that is different from the first characteristic rigidity value.
