Abstract: A method for manufacturing a shaped product includes 1) heating at least three prepregs having a thickness of 0.3 mm to 5.0 mm each including reinforcing fibers having an average fiber length of 3 to 100 mm and a thermoplastic resin, 2) arranging those prepregs so as to constitute at least two layers including P layer and Q layer which are in contact with each other, and 3) then pressing those layers to manufacture one shaped product. A prepreg (p1) in the P layer and a prepreg (q1) in the Q layer are arranged such that at least a part thereof overlaps with each other, and two or more prepregs in the same layer are arranged so as not to be in contact with each other.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a resin composition and a prepreg produced using the resin composition. The resin composition comprises, as essential components: 100 parts by mass of a component (A) which is an epoxy resin; 41 to 80 parts by mass of a component (B) which is thermoplastic resin particles; and 20 to 50 parts by mass (in terms of diaminodiphenylsulfone) of a component (C) which is diaminodiphenylsulfone microencapsulated with a coating agent. The thermoplastic resin particles (B) comprise at least thermoplastic resin particles (B1) having an average particle diameter of 1 to 50 ?m and thermoplastic resin particles (B2) having an average particle diameter of 2 to 100 ?m at a mass ratio of 3:1 to 1:3. The average particle diameter ratio D2/D1 of the average particle diameter D2 of the thermoplastic resin particles (B2) to the average particle diameter D1 of the thermoplastic resin particles (B1) is 2 or more.

Abstract: A radiation-curing resin composition that includes a resin component that includes an epoxy resin and/or oxetane resin having a naphthalene structure or a biphenyl structure, a boron-based diaryliodonium salt polymerization initiator represented by a specific formula at 0.005 to 0.5 mol per kg of the resin component, and a viscosity adjusting agent, the resin composition having a viscosity at 50° C. of at least 50 Pa·s, and a prepreg obtained by impregnating a fiber reinforcement with such a resin composition. This resin composition has excellent reactivity, and a prepreg formed from this resin composition and a fiber reinforcement is used for producing a composite material/member suitable for the aerospace field in particular.
