- the plurality of single yarns are not substantially aligned in the fiber bundle 100, and there are many portions that are entangled at the single yarn level, and there are many entanglements in the longitudinal direction of the fiber bundle 100. There may be a few places.
- the increase in the pressing force at the time of the fiber splitting process is faster at the portion where the single yarn is entangled, and conversely, the increase in the pressing force is delayed at the portion where the single yarn is entangled.

- the fiber bundle 100 is cut at the single yarn level to generate a lot of fluff, so that the shape of the entanglement accumulating portion 180 in which the entanglement portions 181 are integrated becomes large. If the large entanglement accumulation part 180 is left, it will become easy to get caught in the fiber bundle 100 unwound from a wound body.
- the traveling speed of the fiber bundle 100 may be changed in addition to controlling so that the separating means 200 is not inserted into the twist described above.

Thereafter, the protruding portion 210c is removed from the fiber bundle 100, and the next protruding portion 210c is pushed into the fiber bundle 100.

本発明における繊維強化樹脂成形材料は、上記部分分繊繊維束を切断・散布して得られる強化繊維マットと、マトリックス樹脂を含むものである。
繊維束[A-1]:
繊維径7.2μm、引張弾性率240GPa、単糸数50,000本の連続した炭素繊維束(ZOLTEK社製、“PANEX(登録商標)35”)を用いた。
マトリックス樹脂[M-1]:
ビニルエステル樹脂(ダウ・ケミカル(株)製、“デラケン(登録商標)790”)を100重量部、硬化剤としてtert-ブチルパーオキシベンゾエート(日本油脂(株)製、“パーブチル(登録商標)Z”)を1重両部、増粘剤として酸化マグネシウム(協和化学工業(株)製、MgO#40)を4重量部、内部離型剤としてステアリン酸亜鉛(堺化学工業(株)製、SZ-2000)を2重量部を、十分に混合・攪拌して得られた樹脂コンパウンドを用いた。
繊維強化樹脂成形材料を平板金型の中央部に配置(チャージ率にして50%)した後、加圧型プレス機により10MPaの加圧のもと、約140℃×5分間の条件により硬化させ、300×400mmの平板を得た。平板長手方向を0°とし、得られた平板より0°と90°方向から、それぞれ100×25×1.6mmの試験片5片(合計10片)を切り出し、JIS K7074(1988年)に準拠し測定を実施した。力学特性としては、曲げ強度、曲げ弾性率、曲げ弾性率のCV値(%)を求めた(CV:変動係数)。
繊維束[A-1]を、ワインダーを用いて一定速度10m/minで巻出し、10Hzで軸方向へ振動する振動拡幅ロールに通し、拡幅処理を施した後に、60mm幅の幅規制ロールを通すことで60mmへ拡幅した拡幅繊維束を得た。
得られた部分分繊繊維束は、分繊処理区間で繊維束が幅方向に対して15分割に分繊されており、少なくとも1つの分繊処理区間の少なくとも1つの端部に、単糸が交絡した絡合部が蓄積されてなる絡合蓄積部を有していた。また、前記部分分繊繊維束における幅方向断面の未分繊処理部によって隣接する分割繊維束が結合されている領域に含まれる単糸の割合は、最大でその幅方向断面における全単糸の33%であった。
繊維束[A-1]に拡幅処理・分繊処理を施さずに切断、散布し、不連続繊維不織布を得た以外は、実施例と同様にして評価を行った。その結果、曲げ強度300MPa、曲げ弾性率22GPa、曲げ弾性率のCV24%であった。
一定速度10m/minで走行する繊維束[A-1]を用いた拡幅繊維束に対して、実施例と同様の分繊処理手段を常に突き刺した状態で保持し、連続的に分繊処理を施した連続分繊繊維束を作製した。得られた連続分繊処理繊維束は分繊処理区間が繊維長手方向に連続して形成され、一部で著しい毛羽立ちによる品位悪化が見られ、繊維束内に存在した繊維の撚りが分繊処理手段に集積され、部分的な糸切れが生じ、連続して分繊処理を行うことが出来なかった。
