Point of the Proposed Technology

The thermoplastic resin to be used is a reactive thermoplastic epoxy resin. The original yarn (tow) of carbon fiber is directlyimpregnated with thermoplastic epoxy resin, and after being cured, it is cut into approx. 10 to 50 mm pieces (tips), and then theyare randomly oriented in a 3D manner to form a thick plate. Since this product is strong against compression, highly rigid,lightweight and resistant to rust, its use as a substitute for steel in fields such as civil engineering is expected.

Effect(s)

Workability improvement, weight-savingof the whole work, cost reductionthrough elimination of heavy machinery,long lifecycle

Conventional Technology

Application to an anchor plate (substitute for steel material) with the new thermoplastic carbon fiber tow tip

New Technology

Technology Deployment and Cooperation

Development Stage	Commercialization Completed (already delivered: yes)
Intellectual Property Right	Yes
Joint Researchers (their role)	Kanazawa Institute of Technology: structural design of a thick plate, development of a metal die Industrial Research Institute of Ishikawa: technical guidance on property measurement, etc. Taniguchi Seityu K.K.: carbon fiber tow tip resin impregnation, tipping KOMATSU MATERE Co.,Ltd.: pressed molding production, sales
Example of Application	Anchor plate for ground anchor, Jack plate, Spacer under the heavy load, etc.
Technical Problems	Since it is a high-rigidity thermoplastic carbon fiber thick plate that is lightweight, will not be rusted and canprovide a high Vf value, its use as a substitute for steel material (iron sheet) is expected.
Collaborator needed to Improve	Construction and civil engineering industry
