Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to inhibit a decrease in strength attribute to the interface between a simple-shape portion and a complicated-shape portion. This fiber-reinforced resin composite material comprises: a simple-shape portion formed from at least one sheet-shaped prepreg material obtained by impregnating reinforcing fibers with a resin; and a complicated-shape portion obtained by impregnating reinforcing fibers with a resin, the complicated-shape portion having been integrated with the simple-shape portion. The resin used for the prepreg material comprised the same components as the resin used for the complicated-shape portion.

Claims (29)

1. A method for producing a fiber-reinforced resin composite material, comprising:

forming a first member from at least one sheet of a flat or a simple curved prepreg material formed of a reinforcing fiber impregnated with a first resin;

forming a second member as a preform of reinforcing fibers;

placing the first member and the second member in a mold, wherein the preform is arranged on a side of the first member where reinforcement is needed;

feeding a second resin into the mold; and

heating and pressurizing the mold to impregnate the second resin into the reinforcing fibers of the preform and to integrate the first member and the second member,

wherein

the first resin used in the first member and the second resin used in the second member are a benzoxazine resin.

2. The method for producing the fiber-reinforced resin composite material of claim 1 , wherein

the benzoxazine resin comprises a compound containing in its molecule a benzoxazine ring represented by a formula (1), an epoxy resin, a curing agent and a toughness enhancing agent:

wherein R 1 represents a chain alkyl group of 1 to 12 carbons, a ring alkyl group of 3 to 8 carbons, a phenyl group or a phenyl group substituted with a chain alkyl group of 1 to 12 carbons or a halogen; and a hydrogen atom is bonded to at least one of carbon atoms of the aromatic ring at an ortho position and a para position relative to the carbon atom that bonds the oxygen atom in the formula.

3. The method for producing the fiber-reinforced resin composite material of claim 1 , wherein

a viscosity of the benzoxazine resin composition at 50° C. is 10 to 3000 Pa·s.

4. A method for producing a fiber-reinforced resin composite material, comprising:

forming a first member from at least one sheet of a flat or a simple curved prepreg material formed of a reinforcing fiber impregnated with a first resin;

forming a second member as a preform of reinforcing fibers;

placing the first member and the second member in a mold, wherein the preform is arranged on a side of the first member where reinforcement is needed;

feeding a second resin into the mold; and

heating and pressurizing the mold to impregnate the second resin into the reinforcing fibers of the preform and to integrate the first member and the second member,

wherein the first resin used in the first member and the second resin used in the second member are a benzoxazine resin, and

wherein a content of the reinforcing fiber in the prepreg material of the first member is 70 to 3000 g/m 2 .

5. A method for producing a fiber-reinforced resin composite material, comprising:

forming a first member from at least one sheet of a flat or a simple curved prepreg material formed of a reinforcing fiber impregnated with a first resin;

forming a second member as a preform of reinforcing fibers;

placing the first member and the second member in a mold, wherein the preform is arranged on a side of the first member where reinforcement is needed;

feeding a second resin into the mold; and

heating and pressurizing the mold to impregnate the second resin into the reinforcing fibers of the preform and to integrate the first member and the second member,

wherein the first resin used in the first member and the second resin used in the second member are a benzoxazine resin, and

wherein a content of the reinforcing fiber in the prepreg material of the first member is 30% to 90% by mass.
