A molded article of a carbon fiber composite material includes at least carbon fibers and a resin composition. The molded article of a carbon fiber composite material is characterized in that the surface roughness Ra thereof is 0.01-2 μm and in that the tensile shear adhesive strength (F0) thereof when a metal has been adhered to the surface thereof via an adhesive layer that contains an epoxy compound and is 0.1-3 mm thick is 10-40 MPa.

A method of forming a barrel portion including obtaining a mandrel shaped to define at least an inner surface of a barrel portion of the bat, wrapping a first plurality of layers of fiber composite material about the mandrel, placing a removable material over a first portion of the first plurality of layers, and wrapping a second plurality of layers of fiber composite material over the removable material and the portion of the first plurality of layers not covered by the removable material for form an assembly. The method further includes separating the mandrel from the assembly, inserting an expandable member within the assembly, inserting the assembly into a barrel-forming mold, and molding the assembly in a single molding cycle, curing the first and second layers with the removable material to form the barrel portion of the bat, and removing the removable material and the member from the barrel portion.

Produce prepreg with a matrix resin adhering to the cloth. Arranging a release sheet on each surface of the cloth; passing the cloth and a pair of the release sheets through a gap portion positioned in a clearance of a pair of heating rollers to be overlaid on each other and supplying the matrix resin to be accumulated above the gap portion of the heating rollers and between the pair of release sheets; and adjusting an interval of the pair of heating rollers to thereby control an adhesion amount of the matrix resin.

To provide a film capable of suppressing both of formation of wrinkles when a release film is suction-attached to a cavity surface in compression molding, and formation of wrinkles when the cavity bottom surface to which the release film has been suction-attached is raised; and a method for producing a semiconductor element by using said film. A laminated film 1 comprises a layer 3 of shrinkable film, of which the storage elastic modulus E′ at 180° C. is at least 70 MPa, and the thermal shrinkage in 30 minutes at 180° C., with reference to 20° C., in each of the machine direction (MD) and the transverse direction (TD), is at least 3%, and a fluororesin layer 5 present on one side or both sides of the shrinkable film layer 3.
