A prepreg contains a base material containing a reinforcing fiber and a semi-cured product of a resin composition impregnated into the base material containing a reinforcing fiber. The prepreg after cured has a glass transition temperature (Tg) which is higher than or equal to 150° C. and lower than or equal to 220° C. The resin composition contains (A) a thermosetting resin and (B) at least one compound selected from a group consisting of core shell rubber and a polymer component having a weight average molecular weight of 100000 or more. An amount of the (B) component is higher than or equal to 30 parts by mass and lower than or equal to 100 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the (A) component.

Compositions containing an aliphatically unsaturated silicone resin, an organic compound containing a (meth)acrylate or (meth)acrylamide group, a free radical initiator, and an organylammonium salt are useful in preparing composite articles, especially artificial stone.

Disclosed are a polypropylene resin composition and a molded article including the same. The polypropylene resin composition may include a polypropylene resin, glass fiber, a non-halogen flame retardant, a compatibilizer, and sodium salt ionomer such that the resin composition may provide substantially improved mechanical properties such as tensile strength, impact strength, and flexural modulus, and excellent flame retardancy and flame retardant stability over time.

The present invention relates to filled polymeric materials including a polymer and a mass of metallic fibers distributed within the polymer, and to light weight composites which comprise at least a pair of metallic layers and a polymeric layer interposed between the pair of metallic layers, the polymeric layer containing the filled polymeric material. The composite materials of the present invention may be formed using conventional stamping equipment at ambient temperatures. Composite materials of the present invention may also be capable of being welded to other metal materials using a resistance welding process such as resistance spot welding. Preferred composite materials include one or any combination of the following features: metallic fibers that are ribbon fibers; a polymer selected from a polyolefin, a polyamide, or a combination thereof; or a metallic layer (e.g., one or both of the pair of metallic layers) having a surface facing the filled polymeric material that is untreated.

The present disclosure provides for articles formed of a filled polymeric resin material. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to polymeric resin materials that include a filler that includes of a mixture of cured rubber granules, foam granules, and/or textile fibers. The filler can be suspended in and/or encapsulated by the polymeric resin material. The polymeric resin material, the filler, or both can include waste or scrap material from manufacturing or from ground post-consumer waste.
