Abstract

A ribbon-shaped material for FRTP molded objects 1 having a laminate 4 in which a ribbon-shaped reinforcing fiber tow 2 is placed between thermoplastic resin films for supplying matrix resin which are wider than the ribbon-shaped reinforcing fiber tow 2, and in which the thermoplastic resin films 3,3 are fused in side portions 5,5 of the laminate 4, which are along the longitudinal direction of the laminate 4; and a wide material for FRTP molded objects 30,40 obtained by arranging a plurality of the ribbon-shaped materials for FRTP molded objects 1 whereby adjacent ribbon-shaped materials for FRTP molded objects 1,1 overlap each other in a manner such that the side portion 5 of one of the adjacent ribbon-shaped materials for FRTP molded objects 1 is placed on the side portion 5 or the middle portion 6 of the other along the longitudinal direction, and fusing together each overlapping portion 31,41 of the ribbon-shaped materials for FRTP molded objects 1, whereby the reinforcing fiber tows 2 are arranged in parallel; are advantageous in providing excellent impregnation of the reinforcing fiber with the thermoplastic resin, giving a great freedom of design, providing easy handling, c…
