Abstract

Disclosed are: a composite formed article which is usable even in a high-temperature environment and less suffers delamination between a foamed resin sheet and a metal sheet; and a formed article precursor (laminated sheet) which enables the manufacture of the composite formed article. The laminated sheet includes a foamable resin sheet containing a resin and a foaming agent; and, provided on both sides of the resin sheet, a pair of metal sheets each through the medium of an adhesive. The resin has a melting point of 145° C. or higher, and the adhesive has a melting point substantially equal to or higher than the melting point of the resin.

Claims (11)

1. A laminated sheet comprising:

a foamable resin sheet including a resin and a foaming agent; and

a pair of aluminum alloy sheets present on both sides of the foamable resin sheet through the medium of an adhesive,

the resin having a melting point of 145° C. or higher, and the adhesive having a melting point higher than the melting point of the resin;

the resin is block copolypropylene resin of propylene with ethylene or an a-olefin having 4 to 20 carbon atoms,

wherein the laminated sheet has a peel strength between the foamable resin sheet and the aluminum alloy sheet of 1.0 N/mm or more in a T-peel test at a temperature of 150° C. and a peel rate of 100 mm/min.

2. The laminated sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive is a modified polyolefinic resin.

3. The laminated sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the laminated sheet undergoes, before use, cold forming and subsequent heating to allow the foaming agent to expand.

4. A composite foamed article obtained by subjecting the laminated sheet of claim 2 to cold forming and subsequent heating so as to decompose the foaming agent.

5. The laminated sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the laminated sheet undergoes, before use, cold forming and subsequent heating to allow the foaming agent to expand.

6. A composite foamed article obtained by subjecting the laminated sheet of claim 1 to cold forming and subsequent heating so as to decompose the foaming agent.
