A fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin molded article includes (A) carbon fibers, (B) graphite and (C) a thermoplastic resin, wherein the carbon fibers (A), the graphite (B) and the thermoplastic resin (C) are contained in amounts of 1 to 30 parts by weight, 1 to 40 parts by weight and 30 to 98 parts by weight, respectively, relative to 100 parts by weight, of the carbon fibers (A), the graphite (B) and the thermoplastic resin (C), the weight average fiber length of the carbon fibers (A) is 0.3 to 3 mm and the specific gravity of the molded article is 1.1 to 1.9 g/cm. The fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin molded article has excellent bending strength and heat conductivity.

Fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin molded article and fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin molding material

A fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin molding material includes a thermoplastic resin; a resin impregnated reinforcing fiber filament obtained by impregnating reinforcing fibers with a resin having a melt viscosity at 200&#xb0; C. lower than a melt viscosity of the thermoplastic resin; and a reinforcing fiber modifier having a melt viscosity at 200&#xb0; C. lower than the melt viscosity of the thermoplastic resin and a difference in solubility parameter value from the thermoplastic resin equal to or larger than 1.0, the molding material including 50 to 98.9 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin; 1 to 40 parts by weight of the reinforcing fiber; 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of the reinforcing fiber modifier; and 0.2 to 12 parts by weight of the resin relative to total 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin, the reinforcing fiber, and the reinforcing fiber modifier.
