A production method for a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin composite material, the method using a crosshead die (1) that has a maximum aperture height of 1 mm or more, wherein reinforcing fibers are supplied in a reinforcing fiber bundle to the crosshead die (1), the reinforcing fibers are conjugated with a melted thermoplastic resin, and the conjugate is brought into contact with a pressurization surface that is at or below the solidification temperature of the thermoplastic resin, is pressurized, and is shaped to have a thickness that is 50% or less of the aperture height.

A method for manufacturing a molded surface fastener may include using, as a synthetic resin forming the molded surface fastener, a thermoplastic resin having a melt flow rate of 20 g/10 min or more and 60 g/10 min or less and a flexural modulus of 1000 MPa or more and 2300 MPa or less. Consequently, an engaging element in which a top end surface of an engaging head portion is flat, and at least a part of a back-side proximal end surface of the engaging head portion has an angle of 70° or more and 110° or less with respect to a height direction of the stem portion can be stably molded, and thus the molded surface fastener that has a high peel strength and a good texture can be obtained.

The invention relates to an apparatus for producing tubular films stretched in-line by blow molding with an extruder, a film blowing line, a lay-flat unit, an oscillating haul-off unit, and a stretching line for monoaxially stretching the film laid flat in machine direction. According to the invention, the stretching line is arranged above the extruder between the lay-flat unit and the oscillating haul-off unit.

The molded surface fastener includes: a fastener member that has a plurality of engagement elements disposed upright on the first surface of a base portion, and a back member that is secured to the second surface of the fastener member and that is provided with a structure enabling passage of a synthetic resin. The base portion has a first base region of a predetermined thickness and a second base region formed to be thicker than the first base region, and the back member is secured to at least the second base region of the base portion. The adhesion strength of the back member to the fastener member is thus increased, enabling the back member to be held more firmly by the base portion.

A resin sheet having hair-like bodies arranged regularly on at least one surface of a base layer containing a thermoplastic resin, the surface with the hair-like bodies having a coefficient of friction, as measured according to KES, of 0.5 or more and 1.0 or less, a deviation of the coefficient of friction, as measured by KES, of 0.010 or more and 0.025 or less, and a deviation of roughness, as measured by KES, of 0.2 or more and 1.5 or less.

A method for forming a belt-like rubber sheet S by extruding rubber on a drum outer peripheral surface 3a by an extruder 2 includes: a front end forming step for forming a front end S1 having a wedge-shaped cross section; an intermediate part forming step for forming an intermediate part S2 having a desired thickness; and a rear end forming step for forming a rear end S3 having a wedge-shaped cross section by gradually decreasing an extrusion amount of the rubber to zero from a predetermined extrusion amount in a predetermined time, gradually decreasing the rotational speed of the drum outer peripheral surface 3a to zero from a predetermined rotational speed in the predetermined time, and gradually decreasing a distance from the drum outer peripheral surface 3a to a die 21 to an extrusion end distance from a predetermined distance in the predetermined time.
