Disclosed herein are a fiber-reinforced material and an article made of the same. The fiber-reinforced material includes a fiber assembly and a matrix material coating the fiber assembly, the matrix material is a thermoplastic resin composition obtained by blending a polyolefin resin, a polyamide resin, and a modified elastomer that reacts with the polyamide resin. When a puncture test is performed at a striker speed of 1-4 msec and when a maximum impact force is applied is defined as P.sub.M and a deflection at break is defined as P.sub.B, P.sub.B/P.sub.M?4. When the amount of energy absorbed before a maximum impact force is applied is E.sub.1, the amount of energy absorbed after a maximum impact force is applied and before break is E.sub.2, and a total amount of absorbed energy of E.sub.1 and E.sub.2 is E.sub.T, the ratio of E.sub.2:E.sub.T is 70% or more.

A method of producing a thermoplastic resin composition containing a thermoplastic synthetic resin and a cellulose, in which at least one type of the thermoplastic synthetic resin is a resin having a group containing a partial structure of an acid anhydride in the polymer molecule; a molded article of a cellulose-reinforced resin; and a method of producing a molded article of a cellulose-reinforced resin.

Fiber reinforced composite comprising a trimodal polypropylene composition.

A composition comprising a composition of an ethylene-based thermoplastic polymer comprising high density polyethylene (HDPE) blended with a modifier component, an optional blowing agent, optionally with carbon black and/or one or more additives, to make foamed articles.

A laminate which comprises a base, a primer coat layer that is formed on at least one surface of the base, and a top coat layer that is formed on the primer coat layer, and wherein: the primer coat layer is formed from a primer composition that contains an acid-modified polyolefin; the top coat layer is formed from a cured product of a top coat composition that contains a condensation-curable silicone composition; and one or both of the primer composition and the top coat composition contain an amino group-containing silane coupling agent. This laminate exhibits good adhesion even in cases where a base that is formed from a slightly adhesive material is used therefor.
