Among these, matrix resins for prepregs (precursors for composite materials in which a matrix resin and a reinforcing fiber are combined) used for general-purpose applications are, of course, excellent in mechanical properties after curing and of course, at room temperature of prepregs. Excellent stability and handleability are required. Further, there is an increasing demand for a matrix resin which is cured at a low temperature or cured for a short time in order to shorten the molding cycle and reduce the energy cost. From room temperature to 80
Some resin already cures at low temperatures of の 90 ° C. However, most of them are so-called hand lay-up resin compositions in which a main agent and a curing agent are mixed immediately before curing, and have poor stability at room temperature, and their pot life is on the order of minutes to hours. In addition, the viscosity of the resin immediately after mixing is low, and the handling properties and working environment are poor. The emergence of a matrix resin that can be cured at a low temperature with these disadvantages improved and that can be prepregged by the hot melt film method like the current 130 ° C. cured matrix resin is expected to solve all of the above problems. I have.

[0007] Recently, excellent latent curing agents for epoxy resins have been marketed. If these latent curing agents are used, they are excellent in stability at room temperature and are one-pack type curable at 80 ° C. It is possible to prepare an epoxy resin composition. However, when these resin compositions are used as a matrix resin for a prepreg, it is important that the prepreg has excellent handleability (tack and drape properties) instead of simply being one liquid. As a method for adjusting the viscosity, a method of adjusting the viscosity of the resin is generally used. However, in the case of a material that cures in a relatively low temperature range around 80 ° C, simply introducing a high-molecular-weight solid epoxy resin reduces the reactivity of epoxy molecules at the curing temperature, resulting in a decrease in reactivity and curing. Failure may occur.

[0008] Even if a sufficient amount of a curing agent is added so as not to cause curing failure, the composite material molded from the obtained prepreg can be compared with a composite material molded from a general-purpose 130 ° C cured prepreg. In addition, mechanical properties, particularly the strength in the 90 ° direction and the interlaminar shear strength were low, and there was great anxiety when used as a structural material.

Since the epoxy resin composition of the present invention has excellent stability as described above, a so-called hot melt film, which forms a thin film of resin on release paper by heating the resin, can be stably adjusted. For this reason, it becomes possible to manufacture a prepreg by a hot melt method, which is impossible with a conventional low-temperature curing resin. This makes it possible to manufacture prepregs that are not based on the hand lay-up method or the lacquer method using a solvent, which has been common in conventional low-temperature curing resins, which is very advantageous both economically and in terms of working environment. .

Example 1 Epoxy resin Ep1001:
30 parts by weight, 70 parts by weight of Ep828, and 60 parts by weight of a phenolic curing agent DEH-85 were charged into a kneader heated to 90 ° C. and uniformly mixed. After cooling the kneader heating temperature to 55 ° C. and confirming that the resin temperature also dropped, 10 parts by weight of Omicure 94 and 5 parts by weight of HX3722 were added and mixed to obtain a uniform resin composition. This resin composition was poured into a glass cell having a Teflon plate having a thickness of 2 mm as a spacer and molded under the curing conditions shown in Table 1 to obtain a transparent cured resin. Using this resin plate, a bending test and a viscoelasticity measurement were performed. The results are shown in Table 1.
Further, in order to confirm the curability of HX3722 at 80 ° C., 30 parts by weight of a composition was prepared with respect to 100 parts by weight of Ep828, and the curing heat generation at 80 ° C. was measured.
It was confirmed that HX3722 was cured at 80 ° C. due to heat generation during curing.

Example 2 A unidirectional prepreg was produced from the resin composition (before curing) obtained in Example 1 and carbon fibers (Pyrofil TR-40 manufactured by Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd.) by a hot melt method. The film formation temperature was 50 ° C., and the impregnation into the carbon fiber was 70 ° C. This prepreg had appropriate tack and drape properties, and showed little change in tack and drape properties even after storage at 25 ° C. for one month, and had good storage stability. The evaluation of tackiness and drapability was performed by wrapping a prepreg around a pencil having a diameter of 8 mm, confirming that the prepreg did not crack or unwound, and evaluated the quality. This prepreg is about 2mm in one direction
It was laminated to a thickness and formed by vacuum forming. Vf (volume content of CF) of the obtained one-way CFRP is 60%,

Cures to a practically sufficient degree. Further, the prepreg for CFRP by the hot melt film method using the resin of the present invention has practically sufficient stability of 20 days or more at room temperature, and has an appropriate tack and drape property.
The mechanical properties of FRP also show the same performance as the current 130 ° C cured product. Furthermore, the resin composition of the present invention is economical in production,
Alternatively, it has a great feature in comparison with the conventional low-temperature-curable epoxy resin composition even in the problem of the working environment, which has become a particular problem in recent years. For this reason, it is expected to be used in fields that have not been used in curing conditions, room temperature stability of prepreg, or work environment.
