The present invention provides an assembly of molding materials, each of which is obtained by covering a carbon fiber bundle that contains an impregnation assistant with a thermoplastic resin. This assembly of molding materials is configured such that 30% or more of the whole assembly is a molding material that satisfies 100F/L (N/m), where L is the molding material length in the axial direction of the carbon fiber bundle and F is the grip force of the carbon fiber bundle with respect to the molding material. Consequently, falling-off of carbon fibers from the molding materials during injection molding is able to be prevented, so that a molded body is able to be produced with high production efficiency.

Embodiments of the invention relate to an actinic-ray-curable resin composition which includes 100 parts by mass of a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate; 0.2-4 parts by mass of a compound having an alkoxysilyl group and a (meth)acryloyl group; 0.05-3 parts by mass of an organic titanium; and 5-100 parts by mass of fine particles having an average particle diameter of 1-300 nm. Embodiments of the invention also relate to a layered transparent resin product which includes a hardcoat layer and a layer of a transparent resin sheet in this order from the outermost layer side, wherein the hardcoat has been formed from a coating material including 100 parts by mass of a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate; 0.2-4 parts by mass of a compound having an alkoxysilyl group and a (meth)acryloyl group; 0.05-3 parts by mass of an organic titanium; and 5-100 parts by mass of fine particles having an average particle diameter of 1-300 nm.

An insulation assembly comprises an insulation pipe, an insulation umbrella group, and an insulation base. The insulation pipe has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The insulation umbrella group is formed on an outer wall of the insulation pipe. The insulation base is made of an insulating material and connected to the first end of the insulation pipe.
