PELLET CONTAINING FLAT GLASS FIBERS, MOLDED THERMOPLASTIC RESIN CONTAINING FLAT GLASS FIBERS, AND PROCESSES FOR PRODUCING THESE

摘要

It is an object of the invention to provide a starting material for glass fiber-containing thermoplastic resin molded articles that not only exhibits superior tensile strength but also excellent impact strength and improved surface smoothness. Suitable flat glass fiber-containing pellets 100 are obtained by orienting a plurality of flat glass fiber filaments 20 with flat cross-sections in a single direction in pellets 10 composed of a thermoplastic resin, so that both edges of the filaments reach the pellet surfaces.
