Internal mold release agent-containing fiber-reinforced composite molded article
A fiber-reinforced composite molded article which is obtained by molding reinforcing fibers and an epoxy resin, while containing a silicone oil as an internal mold release agent, and which is characterized in that the fragment ion intensity ratio A/B as detected in case where the molded article surface is analyzed by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry is expressed by the relationship of 3≤A/B≤20. A: The intensity of a fragment ion that has the highest intensity among the fragment ions derived from the silicone oil. B: The intensity of a fragment ion that has the highest intensity among the fragment ions derived from the epoxy resin. A fiber-reinforced resin molded article according to the present invention is capable of achieving high productivity and high quality by effectively exhibiting releasability from a mold with a small addition amount of a mold release agent without using an external mold release agent, while being capable of exhibiting high adhesion to other members without requiring a special surface treatment such as sanding.
