Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided a random mat including carbon fibers having an average fiber length of from 3 mm to 100 mm and a thermoplastic resin, wherein a fiber areal weight of the carbon fibers is from 25 to 10,000 g/m 2 , a proportion of carbon fiber bundles (A) constituted by single carbon filaments of a critical single fiber number or more defined by the formula (1) to the total amount of fibers in the random mat is from 40 to 99 Vol %, and an average number (N) of fibers in the carbon fiber bundles (A) satisfies the formula (2): critical single fiber number=600/ D   (1) 2.0×10 5 /D 2 ≦N <8.0×10 5 /D 2   (2) wherein D is an average fiber diameter (μm) of carbon fibers.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A random mat comprising: carbon fibers having an average fiber length of from 3 mm to 100 mm; and a thermoplastic resin, wherein a fiber areal weight of the carbon fibers is from 25 to 10,000 g/m 2 , a proportion of carbon fiber bundles (A) that are constituted by a number of single carbon filaments of 600 (μm)/D or more to a total amount of fibers in the random mat is from 40 Vol % to 99 Vol %, and an average number (N) of fibers…
