A vehicle roof structure is provided capable of maintaining side collision performance of a vehicle even without a roof reinforcing member. The vehicle roof structure includes an annular frame that is joined to a circumferential edge of a roof panel (which includes an outer panel and an inner panel), and supports the roof panel. The annular frame has a higher rigidity than the roof panel, is arranged in an opening of a roof, and is joined to a pair of roof side rails, a front header, and a rear header.

Provided is carbon material filler for an electromagnetic shield, which includes a graphitizable carbon material to be mixed into a molding material in order to absorb electromagnetic waves, the carbon material filler for an electromagnetic shield satisfying (1) to (3): (1) A spacing d002 of a 002 plane of the graphitizable carbon material measured through X-ray diffraction measurement (XRD) is at least 0.338 nm. (2) A relative intensity ratio (A/B) value between a peak intensity (A) of a '002 plane' detected when the graphitizable carbon material is measured through X-ray diffraction measurement (XRD) and a higher peak intensity (B) that is selected from a '100 plane' and a &#x201c;004 plane&#x201d; is at least 2.5 and less than 27. (3) The filler is in powder form and the average particle diameter D50 is at least 1 &#x3bc;m and at most 5 mm.

A fiber-reinforced resin hollow body includes an axial-direction fiber layer containing reinforcing fibers aligned parallel to an axial direction of the hollow body, and a non-axial-direction fiber layer provided on top of at least one of an internal and an external side of the axial-direction fiber layer, and containing reinforcing fibers oriented in a direction different from the alignment direction of the axial-direction fiber layer. The non-axial-direction fiber layer includes one or more peripheral-direction fiber layers containing reinforcing fibers aligned parallel to a peripheral direction of the hollow body, and one or more non-aligned fiber layers containing reinforcing fibers not aligned in a specific direction.

A fiber-reinforced resin hollow body includes an axial-direction fiber layer containing reinforcing fibers aligned parallel to an axial direction of the hollow body, and a non-axial-direction fiber layer provided on top of at least one of an internal and an external side of the axial-direction fiber layer, and containing reinforcing fibers oriented in a direction different from a direction in which the reinforcing fibers contained in the axial-direction fiber layer are aligned. The non-axial-direction fiber layer has end portions in a peripheral direction of the hollow body, the end portions overlapping each other.

A structural polymer insert. The insert includes a substrate having a surface and an adhesive with the substrate being an admixture of a polypropylene component and a glass fiber component. The surface has a plurality of oxygen atoms, optionally introduced by air plasma, in an amount of 1 to 60 atomic percent of all the atoms present on the surface. The foam adhesive is attached to the surface through one or more reactive moieties resulted from oxidative action of the oxygen atoms.

Disclosed is a film-removal/sorting method for coated resin products, which comprises a film removal step (S) of feeding a target material comprising a mixture of plural types of coated resin products each having a different softening temperature in at least either one of a film () and a substrate () thereof, into a film removing apparatus (), and heating the target material in the film removing apparatus () up to a temperature allowing the substrate () or the film () of at least either one of the coated resin products to be softened in a non-molten state, so as to remove the film () from the substrate (), and a sorting step (S) of sorting the target material after being subjected to the film removal step (S), between a film-free material (A) consisting of the substrate () of the coated resin product which has succeeded in removing the film () therefrom, and an untreated target material (B) consisting of the remaining coated resin products having residual films (). The film removal step (S) and the sorting step (S) are repeatedly carried out while increasing the temperature of the target material in the film removal step (S) stepwise within a temperature range equal to or less than a highest one of softening temperatures of the films () and the substrates () of the coated resin products.
