Abstract
A complex structure material includes a foam made of thermosetting resin and coverings made of thermoplastic resin. The foam includes a matrix and pores. At least some of the pores communicate with each other. The foam has a continuous porous structure formed by the matrix and the pores. The coverings cover inner walls of the pores in the foam.
Claims6
A complex structure material comprising:
- a foam made of thermosetting resin and including a matrix and pores, at least some of the pores communicating with each other, the foam having a continuous porous structure formed by the matrix and the pores;
- and
- coverings made of thermoplastic resin and covering inner walls of the pores in the foam.
A method of producing a resin component, the method comprising:
- preparing a foam made of thermosetting resin and including a matrix and pores, at least some of the pores communicating with each other, the foam having a continuous porous structure formed by the matrix and the pores;
- covering inner walls of the pores with a thermoplastic resin to form a complex structure material;
- heating the complex structure material to a temperature at which the thermoplastic resin is softened or greater;
- and
- cold-pressing the complex structure material into a shape of the resin component.
