1. An adhesive sheet comprising: a first release paper, an adhesive layer, and a second release paper stacked in that order,
the adhesive layer containing an adhesive,
the adhesive containing at least an acrylic resin, an epoxy resin, and a curing agent,
the content of the epoxy resin being 175 to 300 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the acrylic resin, wherein the epoxy resin is a mixture of a nitrile butadiene rubber-modified epoxy resin with a bisphenol A epoxy resin, and wherein the acrylic resin is an acrylic ester copolymer selected from the group consisting of ethyl acrylate-butyl acrylate-acrylonitrile copolymers, ethyl acrylate-acrylonitrile copolymers and butyl acrylate-acrylonitrile copolymers,
wherein when a laminated body is prepared by laminating two carbon fiber reinfored plastic sheets of 100 mm in length ×25 mm in width ×1.5 mm in thickness via the adhesive layer of 12.5 mm in length ×25 mm in width and curing the adhesive layer at 180° C. for one hour while applying a load of 3 kg onto the laminated body, the adhesion strength thereof is more than 12 MPa
wherein the adhesive has a three-dimensional islands-sea structure comprising sea formed of the acrylic resin and islands formed of the epoxy resin.
2. The adhesive sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer further comprises a core impregnated with the adhesive.
3. The adhesive sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the core is a woven fabric or an nonwoven fabric.
4. The adhesive sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the acrylic ester copolymer has, introduced thereinto, at least one functional group selected from a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, an epoxy group, or an amide group.
5. The adhesive sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the nitrile butadiene rubber-modified epoxy resin is 26 to 75 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the acrylic resin and the content of the bisphenol A epoxy resin is 150 to 225 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the acrylic resin.
6. The adhesive sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the curing agent is a dicyandiamide compound.
7. An laminated body comprising a first adherend and a second adherend bonded to each other through an adhesive sheet according to claim 1 ,
an epoxy resin layer being provided at an interface of the adhesive sheet and the first adherend and at an interface of the adhesive sheet and the second adherend, the three-dimensional islands-sea structure being provided between the epoxy resin layer on the first adherend side and the epoxy resin layer on the second adherend side, the islands-sea structure comprising sea formed of the acrylic resin and islands formed of the epoxy resin.
8. A method for bonding a first adherend to a second adherend with an adhesive sheet according to claim 1 , the method comprising:
separating and removing the first release paper and the second release paper from the adhesive sheet to expose the adhesive layer;
holding the adhesive layer between the first adherend and the second adherend and tentatively fixing the first adherend and the second adherend; and
heating the adhesive layer to cure the adhesive layer and thus to bond the first adherend to the second adherend.
9. A laminated body obtained by a method according to claim 8 .
10. A laminated body comprising:
a first adherend bonded to a second adherend through an adhesive layer comprising at least an acrylic resin, an epoxy resin and a curing agent, the content of the epoxy resin being 175 to 300 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the acrylic resin
wherein the epoxy resin is a mixture of a nitrile butadiene rubber-modified epoxy resin with a bisphenol A epoxy resin, and wherein the acrylic resin is an acrylic ester copolymer selected from the group consisting of ethyl acrylate-butyl acrylate-acrylonitrile copolymers, ethyl acrylate-acrylonitrile copolymers and butyl acrylate-acrylonitrile copolymers,
