A resin composition for laminate, which comprises 100 parts by weight of a composition (B), from 0.5 to 10 parts by weight of dicyandiamide and from 1 to 100 parts by weight of a linear polymer, said composition (B) comprising (i) a composition (A) comprising from 20 to 80 parts by weight of a polyfunctional epoxy compound of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is H or CH.sub.3 and n is an integer of from 0 to 5, and from 80 to 20 parts by weight of an epoxy compound having two epoxy groups in one molecule, and (ii) an aromatic diamino compound incorporated in the composition (A) in such an amount that its active hydrogen is from 0.3 to 0.8 equivalent per equivalent of terminal epoxy groups.

Composition of polyepoxy compounds, linear polymer and aromatic diamine

In a method and apparatus for continuous shaping of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic tubes, a carbon fiber prepreg in tape form impregnated with a first thermosetting resin is laminated on and around a mandrel; the laminate provided on said mandrel is preheated; and the preheated laminate is pulled in and through a hot die together with the mandrel, during which it is gelled, cured, and shaped into a carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic tube, wherein a second thermosetting resin is uniformly supplied onto the outer circumference of the laminate in a resin squeezing zone in the hot die.

A method and an apparatus for continuous shaping of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic tubes, wherein a carbon fiber prepreg in tape form impregnated with a thermosetting resin is laminated on and around a mandrel, then the laminated carbon fiber prepreg tape on the mandrel is preheated, and the thus preheated laminate is pulled in and through a hot die together with the mandrel so as to subject the carbon fiber prepreg to gelling, curing and shaping into a predetermined carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic tube, the pulling operations being continuously carried out by alternate motion of first and second grasping mechanism in such a manner that the pulling force is generated in the second grasping mechanism, while the first grasping mechanism still retains its pulling force, and finally the gellation of the laminate is completed at the first half part of the hot die.
