Abstract

A prepreg 10 comprises: a reinforcing fiber layer 3 including reinforcing fibers 1 and a resin composition 2 with which the space between fibers of the reinforcing fibers is impregnated and which contains (A) a benzoxazine resin, (B) an epoxy resin, and (C) a curing agent having 2 or more phenolic hydroxy groups in a molecule; and surface layers 6 a and 6 b provided on the surfaces of the reinforcing fiber layer 3 and containing (A) a benzoxazine resin, (B) an epoxy resin, (C) a curing agent having 2 or more phenolic hydroxy groups in a molecule, and (D) polyamide resin particles 4 having an average particle size of 5 to 50 μm, wherein the polyamide resin particles 4 include the polyamide 1010 resin particle.

Claims (42)

1. A prepreg comprising:

a reinforcing fiber layer including carbon fibers and a resin composition with which the space between fibers of the carbon fibers is impregnated and which contains (A) a benzoxazine resin, (B) an epoxy resin, and (C) a curing agent having 2 or more phenolic hydroxy groups in a molecule; and

a surface layer provided on at least one surface of the reinforcing fiber layer and containing

(A) a benzoxazine resin,

(B) an epoxy resin,

(C) a curing agent having 2 or more phenolic hydroxy groups in a molecule, and

(D) a plurality of polyamide resin particles,

wherein the polyamide resin particles include polyamide 1010 resin particles,

wherein, when the total amount of the (A) component and the (B) component is 100 parts by mass:

the resin composition contains

65 to 80 parts by mass of the benzoxazine resin including bisphenol F-aniline-based benzoxazine resin and phenol-aniline-based benzoxazine resin;

20 to 35 parts by mass of (3′,4′-epoxycyclohexane)methyl-3,4-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate as the (B) component; and

7 to 15 parts by mass of 9,9-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)fluorene, 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexane, or bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) sulfide as the (C) component; and

the surface layer contains:

65 to 80 parts by mass of the benzoxazine resin including bisphenol F-aniline-based benzoxazine resin and phenol-aniline-based benzoxazine resin as the (A) component;

20 to 35 parts by mass of (3′,4′-epoxycyclohexane)methyl-3,4-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate as the (B) component;

7 to 15 parts by mass of

9,9-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)fluorene,

15 to 45 parts by mass of the polyamide 1010 resin particles having an average particle size of 5 to 30 μm as the (D) component.

2. A fiber-reinforced composite material obtained by stacking the prepreg according to claim 1 plurally and performing heating under increased pressure.

3. A resin composition containing particles comprising:

(A) a benzoxazine resin;

(B) an epoxy resin;

(C) a curing agent having 2 or more phenolic hydroxy groups in a molecule; and

(D) a plurality of polyamide resin particles,

wherein the polyamide resin particles include a polyamide 1010 resin particle polyamide 1010 resin particles,

wherein, when the total amount of the (A) component and the (B) component is 100 parts by mass, the resin composition contains

65 to 80 parts by mass of the benzoxazine resin including bisphenol F-aniline-based benzoxazine resin and phenol-aniline-based benzoxazine resin;

20 to 35 parts by mass of (3′,4′-epoxycyclohexane)methyl-3,4-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate as the (B) component as the (B) component; and

7 to 15 parts by mass of

9,9-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)fluorene,
