2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, composite materials using carbon fibers, aromatic polyamide fibers, etc. as reinforcing materials have been widely used as structural materials for aircraft etc. by utilizing their high specific strength and specific rigidity. There is. These composite materials are often actually used from a prepreg, which is an intermediate product in which a reinforcing material is impregnated with a matrix resin, through a molding / processing step such as heating / pressing. As the matrix resin in the prepreg, an epoxy resin known as a thermosetting resin, a bismaleimide resin, an unsaturated polyester resin, a polyimide resin or the like is used, and recently, a thermoplastic resin such as polyether ether ketone is also used. The composite materials have been characterized by excellent heat resistance, mechanical properties, dimensional stability, chemical resistance, and weather resistance regardless of which resin is used. When thermoplastic resin is used as matrix resin, good heat resistance,
It is expected that not only the mechanical properties but also the impact properties of the composite material will be excellent, but the handling property as a prepreg is poor (for example, the drape property is poor), and thus the handling property is poor with the current molding technology. Therefore, it is difficult to apply it to complicated shapes. On the other hand, when a thermosetting resin such as an epoxy resin-based prepreg is used as a matrix resin, it has been confirmed that it exhibits good performance in heat resistance and mechanical properties, but on the other hand, the elongation of the matrix resin is low. ,
It has been pointed out that the toughness and impact resistance of composite materials are inferior due to their brittleness, and their improvement has been demanded. In particular, composite materials made from these prepregs, when used in aircraft primary structural applications, will raise pebbles during takeoff and landing,
Although it is necessary to have the ability to withstand an external impact caused by a tool dropping during maintenance, it has been difficult to improve the impact resistance without lowering the heat resistance. In order to impart impact resistance to these composite materials, the following points have been pointed out as important points and research has been advanced. Improves the elongation of carbon fiber and other reinforcing materials. Increase the toughness of the matrix resin used for prepreg. Optimize the reinforcing fiber / matrix resin interface properties. The composite material has a higher order structure. As a technique for improving the toughness of the matrix resin for prepreg and improving the impact resistance of the composite material, there is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-1.
20639, 61-250021, 62-36
No. 421, No. 62-57417, etc., a prepreg in which a matrix resin is blended with a specific elastomer component, a high molecular weight rubber component, and a thermoplastic resin to improve the toughness (impact resistance) of the composite material. Although a composition has been developed, it has problems such as a low improvement in impact resistance of the composite material and a marked increase in viscosity of the matrix resin. Further, a method of dispersing and mixing a fine powder of a thermoplastic resin in a matrix resin has also been proposed, but in this case, although the viscosity of the matrix resin is small and the impact resistance is improved, the tack of the prepreg in the exposure atmosphere is reduced. There was a problem that it changed over time. Regarding the optimization of the interfacial properties of the reinforcing fiber / matrix resin, researches such as selecting the surface treatment condition of the fiber and the type of sizing agent have been conducted, but it is still in the research stage and the desired effect can be obtained. Not not. As a technique for improving the impact resistance of the composite material by making the composite material a higher-order structure, a method of controlling the material form of the reinforcing fiber, a method of inserting a different material between the laminated layers, and the like are considered. As a method of controlling the material form of the reinforcing fiber, attempts have been made to use a three-dimensional woven fabric as the reinforcing material in order to make it an isotropic material, but at the present time, it is difficult to produce a woven fabric, and it is impregnated with resin. However, there are many problems such as poor control of the fiber volume content and difficulty in controlling the fiber volume content. As for the technique of inserting different materials between the laminated layers of composite materials, as disclosed in JP-A-51-33162 and JP-A-61-135712, a scream.
It is known that a cloth is laminated, but in this case the scream cloth is used for the purpose of reinforcing the prepreg itself, such as preventing lateral cracking of the prepreg and preventing fiber disorder, and has a large toughness. However, no improvement in impact resistance is recognized. As a technique for improving the impact characteristics of a composite material by inserting a different material between the layers of the composite material, JP-A-60-63229 and 63-16273.
There is an interleaf technique as disclosed in Japanese Patent No. As an interleaf material, the thickness is generally 0.03
A thermoplastic resin film having a thickness of 0.01 to 0.05 mm, for example, a film of polyetherimide, polyethersulfone, or polyetheretherketone. Are using. When using an epoxy resin having excellent flexibility in the interleaf material, for example, an epoxy resin layer containing many elastomer components, it is necessary to blend a large amount of the elastomer component in order to improve impact properties. Depending on the type and amount of the elastomer component, the heat resistance and mechanical properties of the composite material may be deteriorated, and the type and amount are limited, so that the sufficient effect cannot be often obtained. When a thermoplastic resin film is inserted between the layers of composite material, the effect of improving the impact resistance of the composite material is recognized, but the resin film completely blocks the space between adjacent layers. However, there is a problem in the tack of the prepreg and the adhesiveness between the matrix resin and the thermoplastic resin film, and there is a drawback that the toughness of the composite material, particularly the strain energy release rate (G IC ) is low. Also,
Since the resin flow in the interlayer direction is blocked, non-uniform resin flow occurs, resulting in deformation of the molded product, or because the thermoplastic resin film is relatively thick, the ratio of the thermoplastic resin film to the matrix resin is In some cases, it becomes higher, and the performance of the composite material (composite performance) is reduced accordingly.

According to the present invention, it is possible to easily manufacture a prepreg in which reinforcing fiber long fibers and thermoplastic resin long fibers are mixed in an arbitrary ratio. The molded product molded using the prepreg of the present invention does not form a homogeneous phase in which the thermoplastic resin filaments are fused to the matrix resin in the molded product, and a heterogeneous phase exists because it exists in a fibrous state. Form.
Moreover, unlike the case where the thermoplastic resin film is interposed, the layers are not blocked. For this reason, the obtained prepreg and molded product have excellent mechanical properties and thermal properties, as well as toughness and impact resistance, and have properties that make it difficult for cracks that occur to propagate. It is preferably used for materials and space structure materials.
