Abstract: A surface protect material is described that is high in UV resistance, able to protect the surface of the prepreg used as the parent material, able to prevent a fiber composite material from being deteriorated by UV, able to prevent defects during painting, able to serve for control of the resin flow, and is low in the volatilization percentage during curing, where the surface protect material is a coating agent for spraying or manual application comprising an epoxy resin composition containing at least the components [A] to [D]: [A] non-aromatic epoxy resin, [B] pigment having an number average particle size of 0.1 to 10 ?m, [C] non-aromatic thermoplastic resin, and [D] cationic curing agent or anionic curing agent.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a molding material from which a carbon fiber reinforced composite material having excellent impact resistance and tensile strength is obtained; and a molding material from which a glass fiber reinforced composite material, that has high bending strength and impact resistance, has excellent weather resistance, and can suppress a decrease in bending strength after water absorption, is obtained. In order to achieve the purpose, the molding material according to the present invention is a molding material formed of an epoxy resin composition and a carbon fiber and/or a glass fiber, wherein the epoxy resin composition includes all of [A] to [C], the carbon fiber satisfies conditions [a] and [b], and the glass fiber has a surface functional group capable of forming a covalent bond with an isocyanate group.

Abstract: Provided is an epoxy resin composition with improved heat resistance and resin elongation. Further provided is a fiber-reinforced composite material which uses the epoxy resin composition and thereby excels in compression strength in high-temperature environments and interlaminar toughness. The epoxy resin composition comprises the constituents [A], [B] and [C], 8-40 mass % of [B] is contained in the epoxy resin composition. The number of moles of active hydrogen contained in [C] is 1.05-2.0 times the number of moles of epoxy groups contained in the entire epoxy resin composition, in a cured resin formed by curing the epoxy resin composition and having a degree of curing of at least 90% obtained by DSC (differential scanning catorimetry), [A], [B] and [C] form a monolayer structure, or a phase separation structure of less than 500 nm. The rubber state modulus of elasticity Y (MPa) and glass transition temperature X (° C.) obtained by DMA (dynamic mechanical analysis) of the cured resin satisfy formula (1).
