Abstract
Provided is a resin composition that has satisfactory impregnability into reinforcing fibers due to low viscosity and small viscosity increase even in an impregnation process performed for a long time. The resin composition being suitable as a matrix resin for a fiber-reinforced composite material for producing a cured molded article that has toughness and fatigue resistance. The resin composition for a fiber-reinforced composite material includes an epoxy resin, an acid anhydride-based curing agent, an imidazole-based curing accelerator, a radically polymerizable monomer, and a radical polymerization initiator as essential components, has a viscosity at 25° C. that falls within a range of 50 mPa·s to 800 mPa·s as measured by an E-type viscometer, and exhibits a viscosity increase ratio of 200% or less after 8 h at 25° C., wherein 50% by mass or more of the acid anhydride-based curing agent is an alicyclic acid anhydride having no olefinic unsaturated bond.
