Abstract
The invention relates to a stampable sheet made of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin whose reinforcement is a glass fiber mat in which a non-oriented fiber layer and a unidirectional fiber layer are mechanically intertwined with each other. In the stampable sheet made of the fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin according to the invention, a content of the glass long-fiber bundles forming the unidirectional fiber layer, in the glass fiber mat is 20 wt % to 80 wt %, and the glass fiber mat, in which a significant amount of glass long-fiber bundles among the glass long-fiber bundles forming the unidirectional fiber layer or a significant amount of glass long-fibers in the glass long-fiber bundles forming the unidirectional fiber layer is substantially under a relaxation condition, is used in an amount of 20 wt %.about.55 wt %. A molded article comprising at least one stampable sheet is also part of the invention.
