Patent ID: 8501070

Claim:
A method of creating a fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) molded body, the method comprising: positioning a molded body made of a reinforced fiber material into an interior of a mold, whereby the mold also holds at each of opposite tabular surfaces of the molded body a hollow chain curing polymer (CCP) accommodating layer having a thickness of approximately 0.5 mm to 20 mm, a separating element positioned between each CCP accommodating layer and the molded body, and a heat insulating member positioned between each CCP accommodating layer and the mold; injecting a CCP resin into the interior of the mold to impregnate the positioned molded body and to completely fill each CCP accommodating layer; completely curing the injected CCP resin, whereby CCP resin curing in each CCP accommodating layer generates heat maintaining conditions allowing for a chain curing reaction to proceed uninterrupted to completion; and separating the resulting molded body impregnated with cured CCP resin, as the FRP molded body, from each separating element, wherein the FRP molded body has a fiber volume content (Vf) limit value depending on curing characteristics of the CCP resin and on heat dissipation characteristics of the CCP resin to outside of the mold, and wherein said curing is initiated by a radiation source.
