Glass fiber chopped strands subjected to a surface treatment with at least one of a urethane-based sizing agent and an acrylic urethane-based sizing agent, the glass fiber chopped strands each having a fiber length of from 1.2 mm to 1.8 mm, and a thermoplastic resin are each directly loaded into an injection molding machine, and are subjected to injection molding to produce the following special glass-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin molded object. The resin molded object shows a specific fiber length distribution and shows a specific tensile strength, and unopened glass fibers are absent on the surface of the resin molded object.

Method of producing glass-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin molded object and glass-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin molded object obtained by the method

A glass-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin molding product is provided, which has a ring-shaped structure, and includes a thermoplastic resin, and a fibrous filler dispersed in the thermoplastic resin. The fibrous filler includes:

Glass-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin molding product, and production method therefor

A glass-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin molding product is provided, which includes a thermoplastic resin, a fibrous filler dispersed in the thermoplastic resin, and at least one of a dye and a pigment having an average particle diameter of at most 30 nm, the fibrous filler including:

A vibration damping device includes a vulcanized rubber molding and a resin molding integrally formed with the vulcanized rubber molding. The resin molding includes a sandwiched molding having a core layer and skin layers. The skin layers sandwich the core layer. The skin layer includes a resin composition (A) containing a first thermoplastic resin and an inorganic filler. The core layer includes a resin composition (B) containing a second thermoplastic resin and an inorganic filler. A volume ratio of the skin layers is 40 to 70% of the entire molding, and a bending modulus (E1) and a maximum bending strain (&#x3b5;1) of the skin layers, and a bending modulus (E2) and a maximum bending strain (&#x3b5;2) of the core layer satisfy the following expressions (1) and (2):1&#x3c;(1/&#x3b5;1)&#x3c;(2/&#x3b5;2)&#x3c;10&#x2003;&#x2003;(1)&#x3b5;1/&#x3b5;2&#x3e;1&#x2003;&#x2003;(2).

Vibration damping device

An automotive impact absorbing member integrally formed of synthetic resin material having lengthwise shape that extends with a constant hollow cross section. The impact absorbing member includes: plate-shaped rib portions each extending in a direction perpendicular to an impact load input direction; and load transmitting portions connecting with rib portions at either widthwise end thereof for transmitting a widthwise direction component force of the impact load to the rib portions. At least one of the plate-shaped rib portions has a thin portion of minimum thickness dimension situated in a widthwise center section thereof, and has a pair of gradual change portions situated to either side of the thin portion in a width direction and which increase gradually in thickness dimension outwardly in the width direction.

Automotive impact absorbing member

An object of the present invention is to provide an impact absorbing member capable of reinforcing a desired reinforcement object portion. The impact absorbing member includes a long impact absorbing body which absorbs energy at the time of a collision by being deformed itself and a mounting member which is disposed at a reinforcement object portion of the impact absorbing body so that it is deformed along deformation of the reinforcement object portion at the time of the collision and mounted to a mounting object member. When the reinforcement object portion is deformed at the time of the collision, the mounting member is deformed along deformation of the reinforcement object portion. Due to that deformation, the mounting member can reinforce the reinforcement object portion.

Impact absorbing member

A cylindrical vibration-damping device includes: a rubber bushing having a rubber elastic body elastically connecting an inner sleeve and a resin outer sleeve; a rigid mounting member having a cylindrical bore into which the rubber bushing is press fit; an engaging stepped face formed on an inner surface of the mounting member; and an engaged stepped face produced on an outer surface of the outer sleeve once the outer sleeve is press fit into the cylindrical bore of the mounting member, by means of elastic deformation of the outer sleeve. The engaged stepped face is opposed to the engaging stepped face in an axial direction of the device, and is brought into engagement with the engaging stepped face so as to exhibit a resistance to dislodging of the rubber bushing from the mounting member in at least one of opposite axial directions. The method of producing the same is also disclosed.

Cylindrical vibration damping device

An automotive fuel hose having a three-layer structure excellent in sour-gasoline resistance and impact resistance. The automotive fuel hose includes a tubular inner layer in which fuel is adapted to flow; a low fuel permeability layer provided on an outer peripheral surface of the inner layer; and an outer layer provided on an outer peripheral surface of the low fuel permeability layer. The inner layer and the outer layer each including at least one of a polyolefin resin having a functional group and a polyamide resin and the low fuel permeability layer including a polyphenylene sulfide resin.

Automotive fuel hose

A vibration damper of composite type including a vulcanized-rubber body formed of a vulcanized rubber material and a polyamide-resin member formed of a polyamide resin material. The vulcanized-rubber body and the polyamide-resin member are integrally bonded together, and the exposed surface of at least the polyamide-resin member is covered by a coating layer formed of an elastic material with a predetermined thickness. Also disclosed is a method suitable for producing the vibration damper, wherein a solution of an unvulcanized rubber material or a thermoplastic elastomer is applied to the exposed surface of at least the polyamide-resin member, and is subjected to a vulcanizing or drying operation to form the coating layer.
