Abstract
A molding material shaped like a plate and comprising a composite of continuous fibers and thermoplastic resin wherein each of the filaments which form the continuous fiber is coated around the surface thereof with the thermoplastic resin. Although the molding material has a high density of reinforcing fibers therein, it provides excellent distribution of fibers in the molding process; few of its fibers are broken, and its mechanical strength is considerably enhanced when its specific surface is made larger than a certain value. This molding material can be used for injection, extrusion and compression moldings.
