Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A fiber-reinforced resin material used for molding a fiber-reinforced resin which includes a matrix resin and reinforcing fiber bundles A including chopped fiber bundles each including 100 or more single fibers, wherein the product of an average porosity within fiber bundles Pfav (−) and an average fiber bundle thickness tfav (mm) is 0 mm or more and 0.01 mm or less and a porosity of composite Pc (−) is 0.02 or more and 0.4 or less, and a method for producing the same. The fiber-reinforced resin material is a molding material excellent in terms of productivity and reduction in LCA, which can give high mechanical properties to a molded article using the molding material and further which is excellent also in flowability during molding.

First claim

The invention claimed is: 1. A fiber-reinforced resin material used for molding a fiber-reinforced resin that comprises a matrix resin and reinforcing fiber bundles A comprising chopped fiber bundles each including 100 or more single fibers, wherein a product of an average porosity within fiber bundles P fav (−) represented by equation (1) and an average fiber bundle thickness t fav (mm) represented by equation (2) is 0 mm or more and 0.01 mm or less and a porosity of composite P c (−) represented by equation (3) is 0.02 or more and 0.4 or less: P fav = 1 n ⁢ ∑ i = 1 n p 2 ⁢ i v f ⁢ 2 ⁢ i + v m ⁢ 2 ⁢ i + p 2 ⁢ i ( 1 ) t fav = 1 n ⁢ ∑ i = 1 n t fi ( 2 ) P c = ∑ j = 1 k p 1 ⁢ j + ∑ i = 1 n p 2 ⁢ i ∑ x = 1 l v f ⁢ 1 ⁢ x + ∑ i = 1 n ( v f ⁢ 2 ⁢ i + v m ⁢ 2 ⁢ i + p 2 ⁢ i ) + v
