20090054552FIBER-REINFORCED COMPOSITE MATERIAL AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME - Disclosed is a highly transparent fiber-reinforced composite material including an assembly of cellulose fibers of 4 to 200 nm average fiber diameter impregnated with a matrix material so as to not only remedy the moisture absorbency attributed to cellulose fibers but also further improve transparency. There is provided a fiber-reinforced composite material including an assembly of cellulose fibers impregnated with a matrix material. In the fiber-reinforced composite material, hydroxyl groups of cellulose fibers are chemically modified through a reaction with one or more chemical modifiers selected from the group consisting of an acid, an alcohol, a halogenating reagent, an acid anhydride, and an isocyanate so that the ratio of a functional group introduced by the chemical modification is 5 to 40 percent by mole based on the hydroxyl groups of cellulose fibers before the chemical modification. The chemical modification of hydroxyl groups of cellulose fibers can reduce the hydrophilicity of cellulose fibers to thereby reduce the moisture absorbency of fiber-reinforced composite material. Further, the affinity between cellulose fibers and matrix material can be enhanced to thereby further improve transparency.02-26-2009
20090264036NANOFIBER SHEET, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, AND FIBER-REINFORCED COMPOSITE MATERIAL - Provided is a nanofiber sheet that sufficiently refined by fibrillation and has high crystallinity of cellulose fiber and can realize a fiber-reinforced composite material exhibiting high transparency, a high elastic modulus, a low coefficient of linear thermal expansion, and high heat resistance and being high in flatness and smoothness. This nanofiber sheet includes crystalline cellulose as the main component and a lignin in an amount of from 10 ppm to 10 wt %. When a fiber/resin composite material obtained by impregnating the nanofiber sheet with tricyclodecane dimethacrylate, subjecting the impregnated product to UV-curing at 20 J/cm10-22-2009
20090298976Fiber-Reinforced Composition Resin Composition, Adhesive and Sealant - An object of the present invention is to provide a fiber-reinforced composite resin composition for use as a sealant, adhesive, or filler, having a high transparency, and enabled to adequately meet recently required levels of low thermal expansion property, high strength, light weight, high thermal conductivity, and especially high, isotropic thermal conductivity. With the fiber-reinforced composite resin composition, the fibers have an average fiber diameter of 4 to 200 nm, a total light transmittance at wavelengths of 400 to 700 nm as measured with a 50 μm-thickness cured product, resulting from curing the composition to a plate-like form, is no less than 70%, both a thermal conductivity coefficient in a thickness direction and a thermal conductivity coefficient in a plate surface direction of the cured product are no less than 0.4 W/m·K, and the fibers are oriented randomly in the composition.12-03-2009

20090305033FIBER COMPOSITE MATERIAL AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A highly transparent fiber composite material is provided that can be manufactured through a simplified process using reduced amounts of raw materials and that has high flexibility and low thermal expansivity and retains good functionality of the fiber material. The fiber composite material includes: a fiber assembly having an average fiber diameter of 4 to 200 nm and a 50 μm-thick visible light transmittance of 3% or more; and a coating layer that coats and smoothes the surface of the fiber assembly, wherein the fiber composite material has a 50 μm-thick visible light transmittance of 60% or more. With this fiber assembly, the scattering of light caused by the irregularities on the surface can be suppressed by coating the surface with the coating layer to smooth the surface, whereby a highly transparent fiber composite material can be obtained.12-10-2009
