【発明の詳細な説明】 本発明は不飽和ポリエステルをマトリックスとする炭素
繊維プリプレグ及びその製造方法に関するものである。
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a carbon fiber prepreg having an unsaturated polyester as a matrix and a method for producing the same.

Carbon Arashi fiber is known to be an excellent reinforcing material for composite materials with synthetic resins, and one method for forming it is to form a so-called prepreg impregnated with uncured resin and then mold and harden it into a product. It has been adopted. This carbon fiber prepreg has been mainly made of epoxy resin from the viewpoint of pre-preg storage stability due to its affinity with carbon fibers and stability of the matrix.

However, epoxy resins have the problem of slow molding and curing and low productivity. On the other hand, unsaturated polyester resins have a short curing time, can be expected to have high productivity, and can be used as a hybrid with glass fiber composite materials using unsaturated polyester as a matrix. Even with isophthalic acid-based unsaturated polyester, which is said to have a relatively high affinity, the interlaminar shear strength of the resulting composite material is low, and it is comparable to 9/1 when using an epoxy resin as a matrix, for example. It cannot be said that it has sufficient interlaminar shear strength, and an unsaturated polyester that has a high affinity for carbon fiber and J is expected to improve this point.

Furthermore, there are two methods for manufacturing prepreg: the solvent method and the hot melt method, but the solvent method has problems such as a decrease in the strength of the composite material due to residual solvent, problems with the working environment and disaster prevention due to evaporation of the solvent during the manufacturing process, and problems with solvent recovery. This includes problems such as increased equipment costs.

Therefore, although the hot melt method is easy, there are problems such as crosslinking and deterioration of the resin due to heat. Therefore, among the unsaturated polyesters, if there is an unsaturated polyester that has a high affinity with carbon fibers and is relatively stable against heat, a useful carbon fiber prepreg with good workability can be obtained.

As a result of research into this problem, the present inventors used an unsaturated polyester containing isophthalic acid-fumaric acid as the dibasic acid component and propylene glycol as the glycol component, and found that by selecting the component composition ratio, We have found that the above-mentioned problems can be solved.

An unsaturated polyester prepolymer consisting of ~60 parts (mol) of fumaric acid, 80~90 parts (mol) of fumaric acid, 10 parts (mol) of propylene glycol, 10~50% (weight) of diallyl phthalate or diacetone acrylamide, and a curing catalyst. This is a carbon fiber prepreg whose matrix is an unsaturated polyester resin in which a carbon fiber aggregate is impregnated with an unsaturated polyester resin composition containing the above-mentioned unsaturated polyester resin composition by a hot melt method.

Furthermore, the present invention is a method for manufacturing such a carbon fiber prepreg, in which an unsaturated polyester resin composition is spread on a release paper to form a film, a carbon fiber aggregate is arranged on this,
This is a method in which carbon fiber aggregates are impregnated with the resin composition by heating and compressing at 40 to 150°C. The prepreg thus obtained is excellent as a carbon fiber aggregate, and in particular can have a high interlaminar shear force when used as a composite material.

In addition, the resin composition used here is used in the prepreg manufacturing process. The result is a carbon fiber prepreg that can withstand the heat history experienced inside and has extremely good resin condition and sheet properties. The carbon fiber aggregates used here are carbon fiber filaments, chopped strands, split mats, etc., and are placed on the resin composition spread on the release paper and pressed to release the resin. The composition is impregnated. This resin composition is preferably adjusted to have a viscosity of 30 to 300 poise at 80°C within the above-mentioned range. When this resin composition is impregnated into the carbon fiber aggregate Z, it is heated on a heating plate heated to 80 to 150°C, preferably 110 to 130°C.
12' to lower the viscosity of the resin and then 40 to 150'C.
Linear pressure of 0.1 to 10 k9/d, preferably 3 to 6 k9/G, preferably with a press roller heated to 80 to 120°C
The carbon fiber aggregate is impregnated with resin, and the carbon fiber filaments arranged in parallel are pressed and spread to form a uniformly arranged prepreg. In the resin composition used in the present invention, the ratio of isophthalic acid to fumaric acid is 20 to (1) part (mol) to 80 - Kiku part (mol).
If the amount is outside the range (mole), the affinity with carbon fibers will be low and the interlayer shear force will be low when used as a composite material. If diallyl phthalate or diacetone acrylamide exceeds 50% (by weight) based on 100 parts (by weight) of the prepolymer, the melt viscosity of the resin decreases and the prepreg tank becomes excessively strong.

On the other hand, when the amount decreases to less than 10% (weight), the interlaminar shear force decreases. The amount of diallyl phthalate or diacetone acrylamide for crosslinking is preferably 10 to 50% (by weight), particularly preferably 15 to 35% (by weight). As structural units of the unsaturated polyester prepolymer, propylene glycol 18% (weight), diene [tylene glycol 27%]
%, a prepolymer consisting of 34% fumaric acid, 7% adipic acid, and 14% isophthalic acid, or 32% (by weight) propylene glycol, 6% ethylene glycol, 27% fumaric acid, 14% adipic acid, and 1 isophthalic acid.
When using an unsaturated polyester prepolymer containing 3% as a constituent unit, the interlaminar shear force was low in both cases: 7.1k9/Tlrltl for the former and 6.4k9/Tn for the latter.
It is about 1L. In addition, from the standpoint of the prepreg manufacturing process and the adhesiveness of the manufactured prepreg, the blending amounts of the unsaturated polyester prepolymer and the crosslinking monomer are adjusted so that the viscosity of the resin composition at 80°C is 30 to 200 poise. Good. If the viscosity at this time is less than 30 poise, the produced prepreg will be too sticky and difficult to use. Also, if the viscosity exceeds 200 poise, the viscosity will be too high and the kneading of the resin will be difficult.
It is not possible to impregnate spread carbon fibers or push and spread carbon fibers. Suitable curing catalysts are those that have excellent stability at room temperature and have a gel time of 2 min or more at 80 DEG C., such as t-butyl peroxybenzoate, t-butyl perlaurate, and t-butyl percrotonate.

In addition, even in the case of unidirectional prepreg, it becomes a prepreg with no vertical splits due to its appropriate adhesiveness and impregnability, and in some cases, it can also be applied as a prepreg laminated with an extremely thin fabric such as glass fiber.
