A resin molded article includes a first resin formed of a polyolefin, reinforcing fibers, a second resin selected from a group consisting of a resin containing at least one of an amide bond and an imide bond, a resin containing an ester bond, and a resin having a linking group containing a sulfur atom, and a compatibilizer. The absolute value of difference in melting temperature between the first resin and the second resin is 130 C. or lower. At least a portion of the second resin forms domains in the first resin. The domains include first domains that do not contain the reinforcing fibers and second domains that contain the reinforcing fibers and that include a coating layer formed of at least a portion of the second resin on the periphery of the reinforcing fibers. The second domains include a second domain A containing one of the reinforcing fibers and a second domain B containing two or more of the reinforcing fibers.

A textile fiber-composite material precursor and method for producing a component from fiber-composite material. Aircraft components can be produced from polymer fiber-composite materials, a matrix of which can be a high-performance plastics material such as polyether ketone ketone wherein a reinforcement of a non-crimp fabric of carbon fibers is embedded. Large-area non-crimp fabrics and large-area polymer films can be consolidated while being heated and pressed forming simple components. The flexible textile fiber-composite material precursor includes a stack of woven-fabric tiers from a polymer and of non-crimp fabric tiers from carbon fibers. Since both components are capable of draping, the fiber-composite material precursor can be deposited over a large area on curved shape-imparting surfaces and subsequently be consolidated under pressure and heated to form the fiber-composite material.

A component, including a part, comprising a honeycomb-like structure formed from at least a seamless resin-infused fiber composite material. The honeycomb-like structure includes a first plurality of cells, and a second plurality of cells, different than the first plurality of cells.

Methods and apparatus are provided for the production of thermoplastic composite sheets whose fibers are other than perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the sheet and which are capable of being slit into sheets, strips and/or tapes of custom widths.

Provided is a technology for imparting a design having a higher degree of freedom than in the related art to a composite material product including a woven fabric, which is formed of a thread made of a specific fiber (carbon fiber, glass fiber, aramid fiber), and a resin. As a first step, a specific fiber cloth (100), which is the woven fabric formed of the thread made of a specific fiber, and a backing sheet (200) formed of a thermoplastic resin are stacked. Subsequently, embroidery is performed with an embroidery thread (300) to form a design on a front surface of the specific fiber cloth (100). The embroidery thread (300) is made of the specific fiber, and penetrates through the specific fiber cloth (100) and the backing sheet (200). Then, the specific fiber cloth (100) and the backing sheet (200) are sandwiched between resin sheets (400) each formed of a thermoplastic resin, and the whole is cured by an RFI method.

A method for manufacturing a component for a wind turbine is provided. In a first step, a fiber material is laid onto a mold surface. In a further step, an uncured foam material is provided on top of the fiber material. Thereafter, the uncured foam material is cured to form a core member. Then, a resin impregnating the fiber material is cured to form the component. Thus, a core member for a component of a wind turbine can be provided easily.

A method of making a joint for a structure comprises forming a thermoplastic filler, applying an uncured first thermoset layer into direct contact with the thermoplastic filler, applying an uncured second thermoset layer into direct contact with the thermoplastic filler, and applying an uncured third thermoset layer into direct contact with the thermoplastic filler. The method additionally comprises curing the uncured first thermoset layer, the uncured second thermoset layer, and the uncured third thermoset layer at a temperature below a melting temperature of the thermoplastic material to form a cured first thermoset layer, a cured second thermoset layer, and a cured third thermoset layer and bonding together the cured first thermoset layer, the cured second thermoset layer, the cured third thermoset layer, and the thermoplastic filler.
