Fiber-reinforced molding material and molded article using same

An object of the present invention is to provide a conductive resin composition which does not cause problems with regard to moldability such as occurrence of separation between a resin component and a conductive filler, voids and warp on molding, and is excellent in filling of a resin into a mold, and is also capable of being used for various electrical and electronic materials, including a separator for a fuel cell having excellent properties. To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a conductive resin composition comprising a conductive filler (A); a urethane-modified epoxy (meth)acrylate (B) obtained by reacting an epoxy (meth)acrylate (b-1), which is obtained by the addition reaction of an epoxy resin having an aromatic cyclic structural unit and/or an aliphatic cyclic structural unit and a (meth)acrylic acid, with a polyisocyanate (b-2); a (meth)acrylate (C) having a number average molecular weight of 500 to 10,000, which contains 20 to 80% by weight of an aromatic cyclic structural unit and/or an aliphatic cyclic structural unit and contains no active hydrogen atom; and the other ethylenically unsaturated monomer (D) which is copolymerizable with the urethane-modified epoxy (meth)acrylate (B) and the (meth)acrylate (C).

Conductive resin composition, process for production thereof, and fuel cell separators

A curable resin composition, which is a solid resin at ordinary temperatures obtained by reacting an epoxy resin with a (meth)acrylic anhydride, contains an unsaturated resin having a (meth)acryloyl group (A) which has a double bond equivalent weight of 200 to 500, an ester number of 100 to 300, and a hydroxyl number of no more than 130, an ethylenically unsaturated monomer (B), and a radical polymerization initiator (C).

Curable resin composition

An object of the present invention is to provide a practical compatibilizing agent which makes it possible to convert the resin mixture into a homogeneous resin mixture free from separation and to eliminate defects caused by separation on molding by prevention of the separation between the radical polymerizable unsaturated resin and low profile additive, which could have not been attained by the prior art. This compatibilizing agent is a compatibilizing agent for compatibilizing a radical polymerizable unsaturated resin with a polymer containing styrene as a principal component, said compatibilizing agent being a compound (D) obtained by reacting a polymeric compound (A), a polymeric compound (B), and a compound (C), characterized in that: the polymeric compound (A) is at least one polymeric compound which is a polymer containing styrene as a principal component and has within a molecule one or more functional groups capable of reacting with the compound (C); the polymeric compound (B) is at least one polymeric compound having within a molecule one or more functional groups capable of reacting with the compound (C), which is selected from polyester, polyether, and polycarbonate; and the compound (C) is a compound which, within a molecule, has one or more functional groups capable of reacting with the polymeric compound (A) and has one or more polyfunctional groups capable of reacting with the functional group of the polymeric compound (B).
