[Problem] To provide a metal/fiber-reinforced resin material composite in which a metal member and a fiber-reinforced resin material are firmly bonded, a light weight and excellent workability are obtained while the strength is enhanced, and the amount of the fiber-reinforced resin material used can be reduced. [Solution] A metal/fiber-reinforced resin material composite comprising a metal member, and a first fiber-reinforced resin material having a matrix resin and a reinforcement fiber material, the metal member and the first fiber-reinforced resin material being formed into a composite with an adhesive resin layer interposed therebetween, wherein the adhesive resin layer is obtained by solidifying or curing an adhesive resin composition containing at least 50 mass parts of a phenoxy resin (A), and the maximum load of the metal/fiber-reinforced resin material composite is greater than the total load of the maximum load of the metal member alone and the maximum load of the fiber-reinforced resin material alone (i.e., so as to display a “super-law-of-mixture (or law of over-mixture)” that surpasses the law of mixture with respect to the tensile load).

A method for manufacturing at least one elastomeric article is provided. The method includes placing into a mold an assembly of an uncured elastomeric sheet, a first film fully covering the elastomeric sheet and a second film covering the first film, such that the second film is in contact with and positioned between the first film and an interior surface of the mold. The method further includes curing the assembly in the mold, such that the first film is laminated onto the elastomeric sheet thereby forming the at least one elastomeric article.
