Disclosed herein a method for making a unidirectional continuous fiber-reinforced resin composite material. A resin plasticized and molten by an extruder is transported to a coating guide roller through a die head, and a hot-melt resin film layer with uniform thickness is formed on a roller surface of the coating guide roller. Simultaneously, the coating guide roller guides the hot-melt resin to continuously and uniformly coat on a row of flattened unidirectional continuous fibers along the roller surface of the coating guide roller. Subsequently, the coated flattened unidirectional continuous fibers pass through an open dip-coating roller device to effectively combine with the hot-melt resin to obtain a composite material of the hot-melt resin and fibers, which passes through a cooling and forming device to a winder under a driving force of a main traction to obtain the unidirectional continuous fiber-reinforced resin composite material.

Methods of manufacturing a structural component each include providing a preformed layered structure including a plurality of layers each having reinforcing fibers embedded in a thermoplastic matrix material, heating the layered structure in a cavity formed between a contour surface and an abutment member to a first temperature, which is greater than a melting point of the thermoplastic matrix material, and cooling the layer structure in the cavity to a solidification temperature which is, e.g., less than the melting point of the thermoplastic matrix material, while applying a compression pressure. According to a method, the compression pressure is generated by using a magnet device to generate a magnetic field directed transversely to the contour surface, which pulls or compresses the abutment member and the contour surface relative to each other. According to a further method, inductive heating of the cavity occurs.

A fiber reinforced resin molded body; including: resin-integrated carbon fiber sheets 20 that are stacked and unified, each of the resin-integrated carbon fiber sheets 20 including a carbon fiber sheet 21 and at least one resin 23 selected from the group consisting of thermoplastic resin and thermosetting resin. The carbon fiber sheet 21 includes a unidirectional long-fiber group 21a spread and arrayed in one direction, and multidirectional fibers 22a and 22b derived from the unidirectional long-fiber group. The multidirectional fibers 22a and 22b cross carbon fibers constituting the unidirectional long-fiber group. The fiber reinforced resin molded body is a molded body of two or more stacked layers of the resin-integrated carbon fiber sheets 20, or a molded body of the resin-integrated carbon fiber sheet 20 that is stacked with a resin-integrated carbon fiber sheet including a different carbon fiber sheet. Thus, the present invention provides a fiber reinforced resin molded body including a surface-modified carbon fiber sheet and thus having high interlaminar fracture toughness, and a method for producing the carbon fiber sheet for the fiber reinforced resin molded body.

A child car seat comprises a curvilinear frame. The frame includes right and left monolithic multilayered carbon fiber sidewalls each having a head retaining region and a bottom region connected by a central region. At least one beam connects one of the right and left monolithic multilayered carbon fiber sidewalls with the other. At least 20% of the surface area of each of the head retaining region and the bottom region is a hollow space. The right and left sidewalls are manufactured by placing carbon fibers and polymer to form a carbon fiber preform having a plurality of layers, each with a predefined orientation; and heating or curing the carbon fiber preform so that the polymer forms a matrix that binds the plurality of carbon fiber layers.

A turbine blade and a method of manufacturing the wind turbine, wherein the wind turbine blade comprises a composite structure and a surrounding layer. The composite structure comprises a stack of pultruded elements where an infusion-promoting layer is arranged between adjacent pairs of pultruded elements (18). The infusion-promoting layers have a higher permeability than the surrounding layer so that the resin flows at a higher speed within the stacked structure than in the surrounding layer.

A ballistic-resistant composite includes at least one layer that has a network of ballistic fibers and a resin matrix. The resin matrix includes blocked isocyanate that is composed of isocyanate bonded with a blocking agent. The resin matrix is cross-linkable by heating to a temperature that causes the isocyanate to liberate from the blocking agent and the liberated isocyanate to reactively cause cross-linking of the resin matrix.
