Description

エポキシ樹脂組成物、エポキシ樹脂硬化物及びそれを用いた被覆繊維強化樹脂成形品Epoxy resin composition, epoxy resin cured product and coated fiber reinforced resin molded product using the same
 本発明は、エポキシ樹脂組成物、エポキシ樹脂硬化物及びそれを用いた被覆繊維強化樹脂成形品に関する。 The present invention relates to an epoxy resin composition, a cured epoxy resin, and a coated fiber-reinforced resin molded product using the same.
 近年、マトリクス樹脂と強化繊維から成る繊維強化樹脂(Fiber Reinforced Plastic:FRP)部材、その中でも炭素繊維を用いたCFRPは、軽量で機械特性に優れることから、輸送用機器などへの適用が進んでいる。中でも自動車の外装部材用途などの機械特性に加えて高い美観性が要求される用途において、CFRPは欠陥が無く平滑である表面が求められることが多い。 In recent years, fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) members consisting of matrix resin and reinforcing fibers, among which CFRP using carbon fiber, is lightweight and has excellent mechanical properties, so it is being applied to transportation equipment and the like. there is In particular, CFRP is often required to have a defect-free and smooth surface in applications that require high aesthetics in addition to mechanical properties, such as automobile exterior parts.
 繊維強化樹脂成形品の製造方法としては、シートモールディングコンパウンド(SMC)成形法やバルクモールディングコンパウンド(BMC)成形法などが使われることが多い。近年は、レジントランスファーモールディング(RTM)法が注目され、適用が進んでいる。レジントランスファーモールディング(RTM)法は、強化繊維を連続繊維の形態で使用することができ、機械的特性が非常に高く、かつ短いサイクルタイムで成形できることにより生産性に優れる。 Sheet molding compound (SMC) molding methods and bulk molding compound (BMC) molding methods are often used as manufacturing methods for fiber-reinforced resin molded products. In recent years, the resin transfer molding (RTM) method has attracted attention and is being applied. The resin transfer molding (RTM) method can use reinforcing fibers in the form of continuous fibers, has very high mechanical properties, and is excellent in productivity because it can be molded in a short cycle time.
 しかし、これらの成形法で得られた繊維強化樹脂成形品は、表面に樹脂の充填不良による欠陥が生じたり、強化繊維の形態と樹脂の収縮に伴って表面凹凸が発生したりして、従来からよく用いられている金属部材に比べて表面の平滑性が劣ることが多かった。この課題を解消するために繊維強化樹脂成形品の表面を補修・研磨してから塗装する必要があり、そのために大きな労力をかけなくてはならない場合があった。しかし、このような処理を行ったとしても、表面の平滑性が十分出ない場合もあった。特に、表面積の大きなものや、曲面や垂直に屈曲した面等の複雑な形状を有している繊維強化樹脂成形品は、補修・研磨に多くの時間がかかることが多かった。 However, fiber-reinforced resin molded products obtained by these molding methods have defects due to insufficient resin filling on the surface, and surface unevenness occurs due to the shape of the reinforcing fiber and the shrinkage of the resin. In many cases, the surface smoothness is inferior to that of metal members that are often used from the ground up. In order to solve this problem, the surface of the fiber-reinforced resin molded article needs to be repaired and polished before being painted, which sometimes requires a great deal of labor. However, even if such a treatment is performed, the surface may not be sufficiently smooth in some cases. In particular, it often takes a long time to repair and polish a fiber-reinforced resin molded article having a large surface area or a complicated shape such as a curved surface or a vertically bent surface.
 このような課題に対し、以下の方法が提案されている。まず、特許文献1に係る方法では、強化繊維に含浸されたマトリクス樹脂を硬化させて繊維強化樹脂成形品を得た後に、その硬化温度より成形温度が低い金型に繊維強化樹脂成形品を移し替え、繊維強化樹脂成形品の表面と金型表面の間に繊維強化樹脂成形体を被覆するための組成物(マトリクス樹脂とは別の樹脂)を注入・硬化させることで、成形体表面の繊維目やピンホールを隠蔽した被覆繊維強化樹脂成形品を得ていた。 The following methods have been proposed to address these issues. First, in the method according to Patent Document 1, after curing the matrix resin impregnated with the reinforcing fibers to obtain a fiber-reinforced resin molded product, the fiber-reinforced resin molded product is transferred to a mold having a molding temperature lower than the curing temperature. Alternatively, a composition (a resin different from the matrix resin) for covering the fiber-reinforced resin molded product is injected and cured between the surface of the fiber-reinforced resin molded product and the surface of the mold, thereby reducing the fibers on the surface of the molded product. A coated fiber-reinforced resin molded article with hidden eyes and pinholes was obtained.
 この際に用いられる、繊維強化樹脂成形体を被覆するための組成物には、例えば、脂環骨格を有する脂肪族エポキシ樹脂とチオール化合物とホスフィン類を組み合わせ低温速硬化性と、耐候性、Tgの向上を図った被覆用樹脂組成物(特許文献2)、4級ホスホニウム塩と2級または3級チオール化合物と、多価エポキシ化合物を組み合わせた、透明性に優れるエポキシ樹脂組成物(特許文献3)、脂環構造を有するエポキシ基をもつエポキシ樹脂すなわち脂環式エポキシ樹脂と、モノアリルジグリシジルイソシアヌレート化合物と酸無水物系硬化剤を組み合わせた、光半導体封止用硬化性エポキシ樹脂組成物(特許文献4)、炭素-炭素二重結合を持たないエポキシ樹脂とポリチオール系硬化剤を組み合わせた光透過性や屈折率に優れた発光ダイオード用エポキシ樹脂組成物(特許文献5)が該当する。 The composition used for coating the fiber-reinforced resin molding used in this case includes, for example, a combination of an aliphatic epoxy resin having an alicyclic skeleton, a thiol compound, and phosphines, and low-temperature fast-curing properties, weather resistance, Tg A coating resin composition (Patent Document 2) that aims to improve the transparency, and an epoxy resin composition that combines a quaternary phosphonium salt, a secondary or tertiary thiol compound, and a polyepoxy compound and has excellent transparency (Patent Document 3 ), a curable epoxy resin composition for optical semiconductor encapsulation, which is obtained by combining an epoxy resin having an epoxy group having an alicyclic structure, that is, an alicyclic epoxy resin, a monoallyl diglycidyl isocyanurate compound, and an acid anhydride-based curing agent. (Patent Document 4), and an epoxy resin composition for light-emitting diodes having excellent light transmittance and refractive index, which is obtained by combining an epoxy resin having no carbon-carbon double bond and a polythiol-based curing agent (Patent Document 5).

 特許文献1に記載の繊維強化樹脂成形体を被覆するための組成物には、被膜として透明性に優れることや、金型内の占有時間を短縮し、生産性を向上させるため、粘度が低く低温短時間で硬化すること、高い耐候性やTgが求められ、それぞれ、低温速硬化性に優れたチオール系硬化剤、耐候性とTgに優れた脂環構造を有するエポキシ基を持つエポキシ樹脂、すなわち脂環式エポキシの組合せが好適である。一方、脂環式エポキシとチオール系硬化剤の反応は、立体障害の観点から、反応速度が遅く、低温速硬化性に向いていない。特許文献2に記載のエポキシ樹脂組成物に記載のエポキシ樹脂は脂環骨格を有しており、速硬化性はあるが、脂肪族グリシジルエーテル構造を有するエポキシでは、脂環式エポキシを用いる場合と比較して、Tg向上効果は十分ではない。特許文献3は、芳香環を含むエポキシ樹脂を用いればTgと速硬化性を両立できるが、紫外線を吸収するため、耐候性が劣る。特許文献4はTg、耐候性の面で優れているが、酸無水物を使用しているため、低温速硬化性が十分でない。特許文献5においては、繊維強化複合材料の被膜として形成することについて記載がなく、高温硬化を前提とした組成である。 The composition for coating the fiber-reinforced resin molded article described in Patent Document 1 has excellent transparency as a coating, shortens the occupancy time in the mold, and improves productivity, so it has a low viscosity. Curing in a short time at low temperature, high weather resistance and Tg are required, respectively, thiol-based curing agent excellent in low-temperature fast curing, epoxy resin with an epoxy group having an alicyclic structure with excellent weather resistance and Tg, Thus, a combination of cycloaliphatic epoxies is preferred. On the other hand, the reaction between an alicyclic epoxy and a thiol-based curing agent has a slow reaction rate from the viewpoint of steric hindrance, and is not suitable for low-temperature rapid curing. The epoxy resin described in the epoxy resin composition described in Patent Document 2 has an alicyclic skeleton and has fast curing properties. In comparison, the Tg improving effect is not sufficient. According to Patent Document 3, if an epoxy resin containing an aromatic ring is used, both Tg and fast curability can be achieved, but the weather resistance is poor because it absorbs ultraviolet rays. Patent Document 4 is excellent in terms of Tg and weather resistance, but is insufficient in low-temperature rapid curability due to the use of an acid anhydride. In Patent Document 5, there is no description of forming a film of a fiber-reinforced composite material, and the composition is based on the premise of high-temperature curing.

 本発明の望ましい実施の形態について、詳細に説明する。 A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.
 本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物は、単一または複数のエポキシ樹脂からなるエポキシ樹脂(A)、チオール基含有硬化剤(B)、触媒(C)を少なくとも含むエポキシ樹脂組成物であって、エポキシ樹脂(A)を構成するエポキシ樹脂のうち、重量比で50%以上を占めるエポキシ樹脂(A1)がグリシジル構造を有するエポキシ基を2官能以上、及び脂環構造を有するエポキシ基を1官能以上有する。なお、本発明において、「グリシジル構造を有するエポキシ基」とはオキシランにメチレンが結合したグリシジル基((CO)-CH)のことをいう。また、「脂環構造を有するエポキシ基」とは、炭素が環状に結合した化合物(脂環式化合物)の一部にエポキシ基が含まれる化合物のことをいう。 The epoxy resin composition of the present invention is an epoxy resin composition containing at least an epoxy resin (A) consisting of a single or multiple epoxy resins, a thiol group-containing curing agent (B), and a catalyst (C), wherein the epoxy resin Among the epoxy resins constituting (A), the epoxy resin (A1), which accounts for 50% or more by weight, has two or more functional epoxy groups having a glycidyl structure and one or more functional epoxy groups having an alicyclic structure. In the present invention, the term “epoxy group having a glycidyl structure” refers to a glycidyl group ((C 2 H 3 O)—CH 2 ) in which methylene is bonded to oxirane. In addition, the term “epoxy group having an alicyclic structure” refers to a compound in which an epoxy group is partly contained in a compound in which carbon atoms are cyclically bonded (alicyclic compound).
 グリシジル構造を有するエポキシ基はチオールと低温でも素早く反応する。そのため、グリシジル構造を有するエポキシ基が2官能以上有することで、低温短時間で硬化させても、硬化物のネットワーク構造内にエポキシ樹脂を取り込むことができるため、低分子のまま残るエポキシ樹脂を減らすことができ、金型から取り出すのに十分な密着性を有することができる。また、金型から取り出した後、常温で養生、ないしは、後加熱することで、チオールとの反応性は悪いが、高Tg成分である脂環構造を有するエポキシ基と、チオールを被覆に必要な、高価な金型やプレスを占有することなく、反応させることができ、高Tgを有する硬化物を得ることができる。 Epoxy groups with a glycidyl structure react quickly with thiols even at low temperatures. Therefore, since the epoxy group having a glycidyl structure has two or more functionalities, the epoxy resin can be incorporated into the network structure of the cured product even if it is cured at a low temperature in a short time, reducing the amount of epoxy resin that remains as a low molecular weight. and have sufficient adhesion to remove from the mold. In addition, after being removed from the mold, it is cured at room temperature or post-heated, so that although the reactivity with thiol is poor, the epoxy group having an alicyclic structure, which is a high Tg component, and the thiol necessary for coating , the reaction can be performed without occupying an expensive mold or press, and a cured product having a high Tg can be obtained.
 本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物において、エポキシ樹脂(A)に含まれるグリシジル構造を有するエポキシ基の官能基数[AG]と脂環構造を有するエポキシ基の官能基数[AF]の比が[AG]/[AF]>0.7の関係を有することが好ましい。グリシジル構造を有するエポキシ基の官能基の数と脂環式構造を有するエポキシ基の官能基数の比が、この関係を満たすことで、低温速硬化特性と、高Tg特性を両立した樹脂特性を発現できる。 [AG]/ It is preferable to have a relationship of [AF]>0.7. When the ratio of the number of functional groups of the epoxy group having a glycidyl structure to the number of functional groups of the epoxy group having an alicyclic structure satisfies this relationship, resin properties that achieve both low-temperature rapid curing properties and high Tg properties are expressed. can.
 本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物において、エポキシ樹脂(A)およびチオール基含有硬化剤(B)のいずれにも炭素-炭素不飽和結合を含まないことが好ましい。炭素-炭素不飽和結合を含まないことで、紫外線による樹脂の変色を防ぐことができ、野外で長期間用いることができる。特に本発明に用いるエポキシ樹脂組成物を繊維強化樹脂成形品にコーティングし、さらに紫外線吸収剤を含んだ塗料を塗装する場合、被覆する繊維強化樹脂成形品の形状に立ち面を含んでいると、塗装時に塗料の液だれが発生したり、作業ばらつきによって、塗装膜厚が不均一になり、膜厚の薄い箇所では紫外線吸収剤の効果が落ちるため、被覆するエポキシ樹脂組成物そのものに耐候性を持たせておくことが重要となる。立ち面を含むとは、繊維強化樹脂成形品内の隣り合う面が一方の面の接線方向に対して、もう一方の面が30°以上傾いている面を有することをいう。また、被覆するエポキシ樹脂組成物そのものに耐候性を持たせておくと、紫外線吸収剤が含有している塗料の膜厚を薄くすることができ、塗料による製品重量の増加を減らすことが可能であり、厚く塗装することで発生する塗料の沸きといった、欠点の発生を抑制することができる。この場合、塗装膜厚は100μm以下、より好ましくは60μm、さらに好ましくは40μm以下にすることが好ましい。 In the epoxy resin composition of the present invention, it is preferred that neither the epoxy resin (A) nor the thiol group-containing curing agent (B) contain a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond. By not containing a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond, discoloration of the resin due to ultraviolet rays can be prevented, and it can be used outdoors for a long period of time. Especially when the fiber-reinforced resin molded product is coated with the epoxy resin composition used in the present invention and then coated with a paint containing an ultraviolet absorber, if the shape of the fiber-reinforced resin molded product to be coated includes an upright surface, Dripping of the paint occurs during painting, and the coating film thickness becomes uneven due to work variations, and the effect of the ultraviolet absorber is reduced in areas where the film thickness is thin. It is important to keep it. The expression "including standing surfaces" means that adjacent surfaces in the fiber-reinforced resin molded article have surfaces in which the other surface is inclined by 30° or more with respect to the tangential direction of one surface. In addition, by imparting weather resistance to the epoxy resin composition itself, it is possible to reduce the film thickness of the paint containing the ultraviolet absorber, thereby reducing the increase in product weight due to the paint. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of defects such as boiling of the paint that occurs due to thick coating. In this case, the coating film thickness is preferably 100 μm or less, more preferably 60 μm, and still more preferably 40 μm or less.
 本発明に用いるエポキシ樹脂(A)とチオール基含有硬化剤(B)のエポキシ当量及び活性水素当量は、170g/eq以下であることが好ましい。エポキシ当量を低く抑えることで、密な3次元構造を取ることができ、硬化物のTgが上がるとともに、エポキシ基とチオール基が反応して生成される、極性の高い水酸基によって、内部離型剤を含有している繊維強化樹脂成形品等の表面自由エネルギーが小さなプラスチック製品とも良好な密着性を有する。 The epoxy equivalent and active hydrogen equivalent of the epoxy resin (A) and thiol group-containing curing agent (B) used in the present invention are preferably 170 g/eq or less. By keeping the epoxy equivalent low, it is possible to have a dense three-dimensional structure, which increases the Tg of the cured product. It also has good adhesion to plastic products with small surface free energy such as fiber reinforced resin molded products containing
 本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物において、エポキシ樹脂(A)とチオール基含有硬化剤(B)の粘度はそれぞれ25℃で80Pa・s以下であることが好ましい。樹脂を脱泡する際に、樹脂の温度を上げて粘度を下げることで、脱泡しやすくする方法が一般的であるが、80Pa・s以下の粘度だと、エポキシ樹脂組成物を繊維強化樹脂成形品に被覆するための金型温度以上に樹脂を加温する必要がないため、エポキシ樹脂(A)とチオール基含有硬化剤(B)を混ぜて、注入配管内に流しても、金型内よりも反応速度は遅くなり、金型内に樹脂が満たされるまで、樹脂の粘度を低いまま保つごとができる。また、エポキシ樹脂(A)とチオール基含有硬化剤(B)の粘度差が100倍以内であれば、スタティックミキサーでエポキシ樹脂(A)とチオール基含有硬化剤(B)を混ぜることができるため、より好ましい。さらに、エポキシ樹脂(A)とチオール基含有硬化剤(B)を混合した後の粘度が、25℃で10Pa・s以下であれば、低温でも十分に金型内に流すことができるため、さらに好ましい。また、金型内を減圧してエポキシ樹脂組成物を流すため、エポキシ樹脂組成物は、不揮発分のみで構成されていることが好ましい。具体的には、本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物は、金型温度環境下での蒸気圧が0.5kPa以下であることが好ましい。 In the epoxy resin composition of the present invention, the viscosity of each of the epoxy resin (A) and the thiol group-containing curing agent (B) is preferably 80 Pa·s or less at 25°C. When defoaming the resin, it is common to raise the temperature of the resin to lower the viscosity to facilitate defoaming. Since it is not necessary to heat the resin above the mold temperature for coating the molded product, even if the epoxy resin (A) and the thiol group-containing curing agent (B) are mixed and poured into the injection pipe, the mold The reaction rate becomes slower than inside, and the viscosity of the resin can be kept low until the inside of the mold is filled with resin. Also, if the viscosity difference between the epoxy resin (A) and the thiol group-containing curing agent (B) is within 100 times, the epoxy resin (A) and the thiol group-containing curing agent (B) can be mixed with a static mixer. , more preferred. Furthermore, if the viscosity after mixing the epoxy resin (A) and the thiol group-containing curing agent (B) is 10 Pa s or less at 25 ° C., it can be sufficiently flowed into the mold even at a low temperature. preferable. Moreover, since the pressure inside the mold is reduced to flow the epoxy resin composition, it is preferable that the epoxy resin composition is composed only of non-volatile matter. Specifically, the epoxy resin composition of the present invention preferably has a vapor pressure of 0.5 kPa or less in a mold temperature environment.
 本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物において、エポキシ樹脂(A)を構成するエポキシ樹脂のうち、重量比で50%以上を占めるエポキシ樹脂(A1)がグリシジル構造を有するエポキシ基を2官能以上、及び脂環構造を有するエポキシ基を1官能以上有する。エポキシ樹脂(A1)は、グリシジル構造を有するエポキシ基を2官能以上、及び脂環構造を有するエポキシ基を1官能以上有するエポキシ樹脂であれば、いずれでも良いが、特に不飽和結合を有していないため耐候性が高く、粘度が低いことから、4,5-エポキシヘキサヒドロフタル酸ジグリシジルが好適である。また、グリシジル構造を有するエポキシ基を2官能以上、及び脂環構造を有するエポキシ基を1官能以上有するエポキシ樹脂が2種類以上含まれる場合は、それらのエポキシ樹脂の合計含有量が重量比で50%以上であれば、それらのエポキシ樹脂を合わせてエポキシ樹脂(A1)とする。 In the epoxy resin composition of the present invention, among the epoxy resins constituting the epoxy resin (A), the epoxy resin (A1), which accounts for 50% or more by weight, has an epoxy group having a glycidyl structure with at least two functionalities and an alicyclic It has one or more functional epoxy groups having a structure. The epoxy resin (A1) may be any epoxy resin having two or more functional epoxy groups having a glycidyl structure and one or more functional epoxy groups having an alicyclic structure. Diglycidyl 4,5-epoxyhexahydrophthalate is preferred because it has high weather resistance and low viscosity because it does not contain any. Further, when two or more types of epoxy resins having two or more functional epoxy groups having a glycidyl structure and one or more functional epoxy groups having an alicyclic structure are included, the total content of these epoxy resins is 50 by weight. % or more, these epoxy resins are combined to be the epoxy resin (A1).

 硬化剤としてチオール化合物を用いることで、繊維強化複合材料を成形した温度よりも低い温度で硬化被膜を形成する際にも、十分に高速硬化させ、生産性を高めることが可能となることが期待される。 By using a thiol compound as a curing agent, it is expected that even when forming a cured film at a temperature lower than the temperature at which the fiber-reinforced composite material is molded, it will be possible to cure at a sufficiently high speed and increase productivity. be done.

 化学式1で示されるチオール構造を2個以上有するチオール化合物の例としては、1,4-ビス(3-メルカプトブチリルオキシ)ブタン、ペンタエリスリトールテトラキス(3-メルカプトブチレート)、1,3,5-トリス(3-メルカプトブチルオキシエチル)-1,3,5-トリアジン-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-トリオンなどが挙げられる。 Examples of thiol compounds having two or more thiol structures represented by Chemical Formula 1 include 1,4-bis(3-mercaptobutyryloxy)butane, pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptobutyrate), 1,3,5 -tris(3-mercaptobutyloxyethyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione.
 本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物におけるエポキシ樹脂(A)とチオール基含有硬化剤(B)の含有量は、成分チオール基含有硬化剤(B)中のチオール基数(H)と、エポキシ樹脂(A)中のエポキシ基総数(E)の比、H/E比が0.8~1.3の範囲を満たす含有量であることが好ましい態様である。H/E比が0.8を下回る場合、過剰に存在するエポキシ樹脂同士の重合が進み、硬化物の物性の低下を招く場合がある。また、H/E比が1.3を上回る場合、過剰に存在する硬化剤成分のために系の反応点の濃度が減少し、反応速度が低下し、十分な高速硬化性を発揮できなくなる場合がある。 The contents of the epoxy resin (A) and the thiol group-containing curing agent (B) in the epoxy resin composition of the present invention are determined by the number of thiol groups (H) in the component thiol group-containing curing agent (B) and the epoxy resin (A) It is a preferred embodiment that the ratio of the total number of epoxy groups (E) in the compound, the H/E ratio, satisfies the range of 0.8 to 1.3. If the H/E ratio is less than 0.8, excessive polymerization of the epoxy resin may proceed, resulting in deterioration of the physical properties of the cured product. If the H/E ratio exceeds 1.3, the concentration of reaction sites in the system decreases due to excessive curing agent components, and the reaction rate decreases, resulting in a failure to exhibit sufficient high-speed curability.

 第四級ホスホニウム塩を本発明に適用すると、詳細な機構は定かではないが、主剤液と硬化剤液を混合した後の粘度上昇が少なく安定であり、成形型内のキャビティに樹脂組成物を流し込む際の低粘度安定性に優れる一方で、その後の硬化反応が十分に速く硬化時間を短縮できる。 When a quaternary phosphonium salt is applied to the present invention, although the detailed mechanism is not clear, it is stable with little increase in viscosity after mixing the main component liquid and the curing agent liquid, and the resin composition is injected into the cavity in the mold. While excellent in low viscosity stability when poured, the subsequent curing reaction is sufficiently fast and the curing time can be shortened.

If the amount of the catalyst (C) is less than 0.1 parts by mass, the time required for curing may become longer and sufficient high-speed curability may not be exhibited. On the other hand, when the amount of the catalyst (C) is 15 parts by mass or more, the time to maintain the low viscosity is shortened, and it may become difficult to pour the resin composition into the cavity in the mold.
 本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物は、例えば、エポキシ樹脂(A)を含む主剤液と、チオール基含有硬化剤(B)を主成分(なお、ここでいう主成分とは、硬化剤液中において質量基準で最大量の成分であることを意味する。)として含む硬化剤液とを、それぞれ前述した配合量で配合しておき、使用直前に前述した配合量となるように、主剤液と硬化剤液を混合して得られる。前述した触媒(C)は、主剤液、硬化剤液のいずれに配合することもできるが、硬化剤液に含まれることがより好ましい態様である。 The epoxy resin composition of the present invention comprises, for example, a main component liquid containing an epoxy resin (A) and a thiol group-containing curing agent (B) as main components (the main component herein means the mass of the curing agent liquid). It means that it is the component with the maximum amount as a standard.) and the curing agent liquid contained in each of the above-mentioned amounts, and just before use, mix the main liquid and the curing agent so that the above-mentioned amounts are obtained.

The main component liquid and the curing agent liquid are preferably heated separately before mixing, and are mixed using a mixer immediately before use such as injection into a mold to obtain a two-component epoxy resin composition. is preferable from the standpoint of the pot life of the resin.
 本発明のエポキシ樹脂硬化物は、本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物を硬化してなるエポキシ樹脂硬化物であって、40℃以上のガラス転移点温度(Tg)を有する。このTgとは、後述の<樹脂硬化板の作製>に記載の方法で樹脂硬化板を作製し、後述の<樹脂硬化物のガラス転移温度Tg測定>に記載の方法によりDMA(動的粘弾性)を用いて観測される貯蔵弾性率のOn Setから算出される値である。なお、DMAでTgが測定できないサンプルの場合は、DSC(示差走査熱量計)にて観測されるベースラインの変位の中点から算出してもよい。エポキシ樹脂硬化物のTgは、より好ましくは50℃以上である。Tgが低く、常温でゴム状態にあるエポキシ樹脂硬化物は、不飽和結合を有していないエポキシ樹脂とチオール基含有硬化剤の硬化物であっても、副反応が起きやすくなるため、耐候性が落ち、紫外光による変色が起きやすくなる。また、本発明のエポキシ樹脂硬化物のTgは常温以上あるため、十分な硬度を有しており、被覆した成形品の取り扱い時に傷がつきにくい。常温での切削性も良いため、本発明のエポキシ樹脂硬化物で繊維強化樹脂成形品を被覆した被覆繊維強化樹脂成形品に塗装の前処理として被覆繊維強化樹脂成形品の表面を研磨する際、熱がこもっても柔らかくならないため、細かい番手のペーパーを使用しても、短時間で研磨できる。被覆繊維強化樹脂成形品の被覆樹脂の硬度は温度23℃、湿度50%の標準条件下で、鉛筆硬度のH以上あればより好ましい。 The epoxy resin cured product of the present invention is an epoxy resin cured product obtained by curing the epoxy resin composition of the present invention, and has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 40°C or higher. This Tg means that a cured resin plate is prepared by the method described in <Preparation of cured resin plate> below, and DMA (dynamic viscoelasticity) is measured by the method described in <Measurement of glass transition temperature Tg of cured resin> below. ) is a value calculated from the On Set of the storage modulus observed using In the case of a sample whose Tg cannot be measured by DMA, it may be calculated from the midpoint of the baseline displacement observed by DSC (differential scanning calorimeter). The Tg of the cured epoxy resin is more preferably 50°C or higher. Epoxy resin cured products that have a low Tg and are in a rubbery state at room temperature are susceptible to side reactions, even if they are cured products of epoxy resins that do not have unsaturated bonds and thiol group-containing curing agents. and discoloration due to ultraviolet light is likely to occur. In addition, since the epoxy resin cured product of the present invention has a Tg higher than room temperature, it has sufficient hardness, and the coated molded product is less likely to be damaged during handling. Machinability at normal temperature is also good, so when polishing the surface of the coated fiber reinforced resin molded article as a pretreatment for coating the fiber reinforced resin molded article coated with the epoxy resin cured product of the present invention, Because it does not soften even when heat is trapped, it can be polished in a short time even with fine-grained paper. It is more preferable that the hardness of the coating resin of the coated fiber-reinforced resin molded product is H or higher than the pencil hardness under standard conditions of temperature of 23° C. and humidity of 50%.
 本発明のエポキシ樹脂硬化物の耐候性はフロリダ暴露1年分相当の紫外線量(308MJ/m)を高温環境下(47℃)で浴びても変色が軽微であることが好ましい。具体的には、厚み2mmのエポキシ樹脂硬化物の色差(ΔE)は30以下が好ましく、20以下がより好ましい。この板厚でこの色差であれば、エポキシ樹脂硬化物で被覆した繊維強化樹脂成形品に塗ってある紫外線吸収剤を含む塗料の膜厚が10μm以上あれば、変色は軽微となる。また厚み2mmのエポキシ樹脂硬化物の色差(ΔE)が4以下であれば、紫外線吸収剤を含む塗料がなくとも、変色は軽微となる。 Weather resistance of the epoxy resin cured product of the present invention is preferably such that discoloration is slight even when exposed to an ultraviolet dose (308 MJ/m 2 ) equivalent to one year exposure to Florida in a high temperature environment (47°C). Specifically, the color difference (ΔE) of a cured epoxy resin product having a thickness of 2 mm is preferably 30 or less, more preferably 20 or less. With this plate thickness and this color difference, if the film thickness of the paint containing the ultraviolet absorber applied to the fiber-reinforced resin molded product coated with the epoxy resin cured product is 10 μm or more, the discoloration will be slight. Further, if the color difference (ΔE) of the epoxy resin cured product having a thickness of 2 mm is 4 or less, discoloration is slight even without a coating containing an ultraviolet absorber.
 本発明の被覆繊維強化樹脂成形品は、本発明のエポキシ樹脂硬化物を被覆層として繊維強化樹脂成形品の表面の少なくとも一部に被覆してなる。被覆される繊維強化樹脂成形品は、炭素繊維強化プラスチックであることが好ましい。炭素繊維強化プラスチックは軽量で高い剛性と強度を持ち、特に自動車や鉄道、航空機やドローン等に用いて軽量化することで、燃費や航続距離を延ばすことができる。また、表層に平織、綾織、朱子織といった織物を用いた炭素繊維強化樹脂成形品は審美性も要求され、本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物を被覆する対象として好適である。使用する織物の炭素繊維目付は180g/m以上が好ましく、215g/m以上がより好ましい。炭素繊維目付が大きいほうが、クロスの凹凸が深く見え、より審美性が増す。この場合、全部または一部分有色塗装を施さずに、クリアー塗装を行い、織物自体を外部から視認可能とする製品の場合は、特に成形品の商品価値が高い。 The coated fiber-reinforced resin molded product of the present invention is obtained by coating at least part of the surface of the fiber-reinforced resin molded product with the cured epoxy resin of the present invention as a coating layer. The fiber-reinforced resin molded product to be coated is preferably carbon fiber-reinforced plastic. Carbon fiber reinforced plastics are lightweight, have high rigidity and strength, and can be used in automobiles, railways, aircraft, drones, etc. to reduce their weight, thereby increasing fuel efficiency and cruising range. In addition, carbon fiber reinforced resin molded articles using fabrics such as plain weave, twill weave, and satin weave for the surface layer are also required to be aesthetically pleasing, and are suitable as objects to be coated with the epoxy resin composition of the present invention. The fabric used has a carbon fiber basis weight of preferably 180 g/m 2 or more, more preferably 215 g/m 2 or more. The larger the carbon fiber basis weight, the deeper the unevenness of the cloth, and the more aesthetically pleasing. In this case, the commercial value of the molded article is particularly high in the case of a product in which the fabric itself is visible from the outside by applying a clear coating without applying a colored coating in whole or in part.
 本発明の被覆繊維強化樹脂成形品に用いる炭素繊維は、特に限定されるものではないが、ポリアクリロニトリル系炭素繊維、レーヨン系炭素繊維およびピッチ系炭素繊維等が好ましく用いられる。中でも、引張強度の高いポリアクリロニトリル系炭素繊維が、特に好ましく用いられる。炭素繊維の形態としては、有撚糸、解撚糸および無撚糸等を使用することができる。 Although the carbon fiber used in the coated fiber-reinforced resin molded article of the present invention is not particularly limited, polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber, rayon-based carbon fiber, pitch-based carbon fiber, and the like are preferably used. Among them, polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fibers having high tensile strength are particularly preferably used. Twisted yarn, untwisted yarn, non-twisted yarn, and the like can be used as the form of the carbon fiber.
 かかる炭素繊維は、引張弾性率が180~600GPaの範囲であることが好ましい。引張弾性率がこの範囲であれば、得られる繊維強化複合材料に剛性を持たせることができるため、得られる成形品を軽量化することができる。また一般に、炭素繊維は弾性率が高くなるほど強度が低下する傾向があるが、この範囲であれば炭素繊維自体の強度を保つことができる。より好ましい弾性率は、200~440GPaの範囲であり、さらに好ましくは220~300GPaの範囲である。上記の上限と下限のいずれを組み合わせた範囲であってもよい。ここで、炭素繊維の引張弾性率は、JIS R7601-2006に従い測定された値である。 Such carbon fibers preferably have a tensile modulus in the range of 180 to 600 GPa. If the tensile modulus is within this range, the obtained fiber-reinforced composite material can be given rigidity, so that the obtained molded article can be reduced in weight. In general, carbon fibers tend to have a lower strength as the modulus of elasticity increases, but within this range the strength of the carbon fibers themselves can be maintained. A more preferable elastic modulus is in the range of 200 to 440 GPa, more preferably in the range of 220 to 300 GPa. The range may be a combination of any of the above upper and lower limits.

Alternatively, at least one type of glass fiber and at least one type of carbon fiber may be combined and woven together because of their excellent performance, cost and design.
 被覆される繊維強化樹脂成形品内のマトリックス樹脂内には内部離型剤があることが好ましい。内部離型剤があると、被覆繊維強化樹脂成形品の量産性が改善される。 It is preferable that there is an internal release agent in the matrix resin in the fiber-reinforced resin molded article to be coated. The presence of the internal mold release agent improves the mass productivity of coated fiber reinforced resin moldings.
 被覆される繊維強化樹脂プラスチックの成形法は、繊維強化プラスチックを成形するいかなる手法でも良いが、適当な長さにカットされた強化繊維束に熱硬化性樹脂を予め含浸させてシート状に形成した中間基材を成形型で加圧加熱して所定の形状に成形するSMC成形法や、適当な長さにカットされた強化繊維束と熱硬化性樹脂、充填材を混合しバルク状にした中間材料を成形型で加圧加熱して所定の形状に成形するBMC成形法、平行に引き揃えられたり、織物にされてシート状になった強化繊維束にマトリクス樹脂が含浸された中間基材であるプリプレグを、成形型に積層配置しプレスで加熱加圧したり、成形型に積層配置して真空バッグして加熱したり、オートクレーブで加圧加熱して成形するプリプレグ成形法、両面型からなる成形型の一方の型上に配置した織物やNCFなどの強化繊維基材上に液状のマトリクス樹脂を供給し、両面型を閉じて加圧加熱するリキッドコンプレッション法、RTM法(レジントランスファーモールディング法)等である。特にプリプレグを使用したプリプレグ成形法とRTM成形法は、織物の目乱れが少なく、審美性を要求される被覆繊維強化樹脂成形品の成形方法として好適である。 The fiber-reinforced resin plastic to be coated may be molded by any method for molding fiber-reinforced plastic, but the reinforcing fiber bundle cut to an appropriate length is pre-impregnated with a thermosetting resin and formed into a sheet.

In particular, the prepreg molding method using prepreg and the RTM molding method are suitable as molding methods for coated fiber-reinforced resin molded products that require less disturbance of the texture of the fabric and are required to be aesthetically pleasing.
 被覆される繊維強化樹脂プラスチックのマトリックス樹脂は、熱可塑性樹脂、熱硬化性樹脂のいずれをも適宜適用することができる。マトリクス樹脂として、不飽和ポリエステル樹脂、エポキシ樹脂、フェノール樹脂、ポリウレタン樹脂などの熱硬化性樹脂を用いると、機械的特性に優れる被覆繊維強化樹脂成形品を得られるため、好ましい。特に本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物と同じ種類であるエポキシ樹脂であれば、相互に共有結合を取ることができ、より密着性が向上するため、より好ましい。また、耐熱性の観点から、マトリクス樹脂のガラス転移温度は100℃以上であることが好ましい。 Both a thermoplastic resin and a thermosetting resin can be appropriately applied as the matrix resin of the fiber-reinforced resin plastic to be coated. Thermosetting resins such as unsaturated polyester resins, epoxy resins, phenolic resins, and polyurethane resins are preferably used as the matrix resin because they provide coated fiber-reinforced resin moldings with excellent mechanical properties. In particular, epoxy resins of the same type as the epoxy resin composition of the present invention are more preferable because covalent bonds can be formed with each other and adhesion is further improved. Moreover, from the viewpoint of heat resistance, the glass transition temperature of the matrix resin is preferably 100° C. or higher.
 本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物は、繊維強化樹脂成形品に低温かつ短時間、大膜厚で被覆できるため、本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物を繊維強化樹脂成形品に被覆した被覆繊維強化樹脂成形品は、繊維強化樹脂成型品表面にある、繊維と樹脂の硬化収縮差と熱収縮差でできた凹みを埋めることができ、良好な表面品位を有する。被覆する繊維強化性樹脂成形品の表面粗さは、うねり曲線(Wt)が3μm以上であれば、従来の塗装方法では塗装後に塗装面を磨かないと、凹凸が消えないため、より効果が高い。 Since the epoxy resin composition of the present invention can coat a fiber reinforced resin molded article at a low temperature in a short time with a large film thickness, a coated fiber reinforced resin molded article obtained by coating a fiber reinforced resin molded article with the epoxy resin composition of the present invention can be obtained. can fill dents on the surface of a fiber-reinforced resin molded product due to the difference in cure shrinkage and heat shrinkage between the fiber and the resin, and has good surface quality. The surface roughness of the fiber-reinforced resin molded product to be coated is more effective if the undulation curve (Wt) is 3 μm or more, because the unevenness does not disappear unless the coated surface is polished after coating by the conventional coating method. .
 繊維強化樹脂成形品に本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物を被覆する方法としては、特許文献1に記載の方法や、片面型に本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物を塗布し、そこに繊維強化樹脂成形品の意匠面を被せ、真空を引きつつ硬化させる方法も取ることができる。 As a method of coating a fiber-reinforced resin molded product with the epoxy resin composition of the present invention, there is a method described in Patent Document 1, or a single-sided mold is coated with the epoxy resin composition of the present invention, and a fiber-reinforced resin molded product is coated thereon. It is also possible to use a method of covering the design surface of , and curing while drawing a vacuum.
 繊維強化樹脂成形品は、成形型から容易に離型できるように成形型に塗布した離型材が表面に転写されている場合や、あるいは、マトリクス樹脂に添加された内部離型材によって、被覆層との密着性が十分発揮できない場合があるため表面に被覆層を形成する面を研磨材等で研磨することで繊維強化樹脂成形品の表層のマトリクス樹脂や離型剤を除去する加工を施したり、あるいは化学的に密着性を向上させる表面処理を施してもよい。例えば、被覆層との密着性を向上させる前処理を施された繊維強化樹脂層の表面として、サンドペーパ等を用いて表面を研磨して最表層を除去または研磨痕を形成する前処理を行ってから、本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物を被覆しても良い。これらの処理を行うことにより、繊維に起因する凹凸よりも成形品に生じ得る凹凸を小さくすることができる。 The fiber-reinforced resin molded product may have a release material applied to the mold that is transferred to the surface so that it can be easily released from the mold, or an internal mold release material added to the matrix resin. In some cases, the adhesion of the fiber-reinforced resin molded product may not be sufficiently exhibited, so the surface on which the coating layer is formed may be polished with an abrasive or the like to remove the matrix resin and mold release agent on the surface of the fiber-reinforced resin molded product. Alternatively, surface treatment may be applied to chemically improve adhesion. For example, as the surface of the fiber reinforced resin layer that has been pretreated to improve adhesion to the coating layer, the surface is polished with sandpaper or the like to remove the outermost layer or to form polishing marks. Therefore, the epoxy resin composition of the present invention may be coated. By performing these treatments, irregularities that may occur in the molded article can be made smaller than irregularities caused by fibers.
 本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物を繊維強化樹脂成形品に被覆した被覆繊維強化樹脂成形品に後加熱を行い、本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物の硬化度を上げることが好ましい。後加熱を行うことで、反応性の悪い脂環式エポキシとチオールとの反応を進めることができ、繊維強化樹脂成形品のマトリックス樹脂と本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物との反応を進めることができるため、より密着力が向上する。後加熱の温度は本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物を被覆する温度以上で行っても良い。これは被覆したエポキシ樹脂硬化物は液状のエポキシ樹脂組成物よりも弾性率が高いため、後加熱によって発生する繊維強化樹脂成形品の表面凹凸部の熱収縮に対して追随しづらく、液状のエポキシ樹脂組成物を硬化させる温度よりも高い温度で後硬化させても、表面品位の悪化は軽微なものとなるためである。 It is preferable to increase the curing degree of the epoxy resin composition of the present invention by post-heating the coated fiber reinforced resin molded article obtained by coating the fiber reinforced resin molded article with the epoxy resin composition of the present invention. By performing post-heating, the reaction between the alicyclic epoxy having poor reactivity and the thiol can be promoted, and the reaction between the matrix resin of the fiber-reinforced resin molded article and the epoxy resin composition of the present invention can be promoted. Therefore, the adhesion is further improved. The post-heating temperature may be higher than the temperature at which the epoxy resin composition of the present invention is coated. This is because the coated epoxy resin cured product has a higher elastic modulus than the liquid epoxy resin composition, so it is difficult to follow the heat shrinkage of the surface irregularities of the fiber reinforced resin molded product caused by post-heating. This is because even if the resin composition is post-cured at a temperature higher than the temperature at which the resin composition is cured, deterioration in surface quality is slight.
 後加熱の温度は本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物の完全硬化Tgに対して、好ましくは+70℃以下、より好ましくは+60℃以下であることが好ましい。+70℃より高い温度で後加熱をすると、エポキシ樹脂組成物が完全にゴム状態となり、線膨張係数の増加と弾性率の低下が著しく大きくなるため、後加熱によって発生する繊維強化樹脂成形品の表面凹凸部の熱収縮に追随し、後加熱後の表面品位が悪化する。本発明のエポキシ樹脂硬化物のTgに沿って、後加熱温度を徐々に上げるステップキュアを行うことで、後加熱による表面品位の悪化を軽微に抑えることができる。 The post-heating temperature is preferably +70°C or lower, more preferably +60°C or lower with respect to the complete curing Tg of the epoxy resin composition of the present invention. When post-heating at a temperature higher than +70 ° C., the epoxy resin composition becomes completely rubbery, and the linear expansion coefficient increases and the elastic modulus decreases significantly. The surface quality after post-heating deteriorates along with the heat shrinkage of the irregularities. By performing step curing by gradually increasing the post-heating temperature along the Tg of the epoxy resin cured product of the present invention, it is possible to minimize deterioration of the surface quality due to post-heating.
 本発明の被覆繊維強化樹脂成形品の被覆層の厚さは、50μm以上であることが好ましく、100μm以上であることがより好ましい。また、本発明の被覆繊維強化樹脂成形品の被覆層の厚さは、600μm以下であることが好ましく、500μm以下であることがより好ましい。厚さを50μm以上とすることにより、被覆層が欠落する部分が生じにくくなるほか、被覆繊維強化樹脂成形品の表面凹凸を緩和する効果が得やすい。一方で、厚さを600μm以下とすることにより、被覆層の重量が大きくなることを抑制でき、軽量で機械的特性に優れるという繊維強化樹脂成形品の特徴が発揮しやすくなる。 The thickness of the coating layer of the coated fiber-reinforced resin molded product of the present invention is preferably 50 μm or more, more preferably 100 μm or more. The thickness of the coating layer of the coated fiber-reinforced resin molded product of the present invention is preferably 600 μm or less, more preferably 500 μm or less. By setting the thickness to 50 μm or more, it becomes difficult for the coating layer to be missing, and the effect of alleviating the surface unevenness of the coated fiber-reinforced resin molded product can be easily obtained. On the other hand, by setting the thickness to 600 μm or less, it is possible to suppress the weight of the coating layer from increasing, and the characteristics of the fiber-reinforced resin molded product, such as light weight and excellent mechanical properties, can be easily exhibited.
 本発明の効果は、表面凹凸を数値化することで評価可能である。たとえば、その代表的な手段は、表面粗さ計を用いてはかる方法や、マイクロスコープ等を用いて、被覆繊維強化樹脂断面から求めることができる。たとえば、接触式の表面粗さ計を使用して、うねり曲線(Wt)から求めてもよいし、マイクロスコープを用いて断面から求めてもよい。被覆剤と繊維強化樹脂成形品の界面が見づらい場合はX線蛍光分析やSEM等を用いてもよい。 The effect of the present invention can be evaluated by quantifying surface unevenness. For example, typical means for this are a method of measuring using a surface roughness meter, or a cross section of the coated fiber reinforced resin using a microscope or the like. For example, it may be obtained from the waviness curve (Wt) using a contact-type surface roughness meter, or may be obtained from a cross section using a microscope. If it is difficult to see the interface between the coating agent and the fiber-reinforced resin molded product, X-ray fluorescence analysis, SEM, or the like may be used.
 本発明の評価は、一定以上の光沢度が得られる場合には、写像鮮明度や塗装表面にうねりが見える(オレンジピールとも呼ばれる)現象を定量化することができる、ウェーブスキャン(WaveScan)を用いて測定することもできる。自動車用途において、最も表面が良い状態は「クラスA」と呼ばれている。「クラスA」の統一的な基準は定められていないものの、一般に、表面の小さなピッチで出てくる凹凸量を示すショートウェーブ(SW)が20以下、表面の大きなピッチで出てくる凹凸量を示すロングウェーブ(LW)が8以下であることが多い。好ましくは、SWが20以下、LWが4以下である。これらの数字は、被覆繊維強化樹脂成形品を製造後、その上に、塗装を吹きかけた製品で達成する値である。 The evaluation of the present invention uses WaveScan, which can quantify the clarity of the image and the phenomenon that waviness appears on the painted surface (also called orange peel) when a certain level of glossiness is obtained. can also be measured. In automotive applications, the best surface condition is called "Class A". Although there is no unified standard for "Class A", in general, the short wave (SW), which indicates the amount of unevenness that appears at small pitches on the surface, is 20 or less, and the amount of unevenness that appears at large pitches on the surface is The long wave (LW) indicated is often 8 or less. Preferably, SW is 20 or less and LW is 4 or less. These figures are the values achieved with a coated fiber-reinforced resin molded product which is then sprayed with paint.
 被覆繊維強化樹脂成形品の凹凸量を表面粗さとして示した場合、うねり曲線(Wt)において、好ましくは2μm以下、より好ましくは1μm以下である。2μm以下であると、1コートの塗装のみでクラスAが達成可能となる。 When the amount of unevenness of the coated fiber-reinforced resin molded product is expressed as surface roughness, the waviness curve (Wt) is preferably 2 μm or less, more preferably 1 μm or less. If the thickness is 2 μm or less, class A can be achieved with only one coating.
 被覆繊維強化樹脂成形品に有色塗装を施さずに、強化繊維基材自体を外部から視認可能とする製品の場合は、特に成形品の商品価値が高い。この場合は、織構造によって表現される独特の模様が意匠性に優れるため、平織り、綾織及び繻子織などの形態の織物が好んで用いられることがある。 In the case of products in which the reinforcing fiber base material itself is visible from the outside without applying a colored coating to the coated fiber reinforced resin molded product, the molded product has a particularly high commercial value. In this case, since the unique pattern expressed by the woven structure is excellent in design, plain weave, twill weave, satin weave, and the like are often preferred.
 基材の目付けも、意匠性に影響を与える。織構造が外部から視認可能とする製品に用いる場合は、おおむね100g/mから300g/m程度の基材を用いることが好ましい。 The basis weight of the base material also affects the design. When used for a product whose woven structure is visible from the outside, it is preferable to use a base material of approximately 100 g/m 2 to 300 g/m 2 .
 また、塗装も、強化繊維基材を視認できるよう、クリアー塗装を施すことが好ましい。 Also, it is preferable to apply a clear coating so that the reinforcing fiber base material can be seen.

 実施例1より粘度が高く、上述の<コーティング成形>に記載の方法において、金型全体に注入しきるまでに時間がかかった。また、主剤内に含まれる「EHPE3150」は十分に反応していたものの、脂環構造を有する「セロキサイド2021P」が低分子の状態で残っていたため、10分では十分硬化できず、脱型時にコーティングが剥離し、脱型時の密着力も低かった。エポキシ樹脂組成物の硬化物は、着色がなかった。紫外線を当てると、若干変色したが、実用に耐えうる耐候性を示した。このエポキシ樹脂組成物を用いて作製した硬化被膜を有する繊維強化複合材料は、良好な表面平滑性を示し、また塗装後の表面平滑性も非常に良好であった。結果を表2に示す。  The viscosity was higher than in Example 1, and it took a long time to completely fill the entire mold in the method described in <Coating Molding> above. In addition, although "EHPE3150" contained in the main agent reacted sufficiently, "Celoxide 2021P", which has an alicyclic structure, remained in a low molecular state, so it could not be sufficiently cured in 10 minutes, and the coating was peeled off, and the adhesion at the time of demolding was low. The cured epoxy resin composition was not colored. When exposed to ultraviolet rays, it discolored slightly, but it showed weather resistance that could withstand practical use. A fiber-reinforced composite material having a cured film produced using this epoxy resin composition exhibited good surface smoothness, and the surface smoothness after coating was also very good.
