Abstract
Provided is a composite material including carbon fibers having a weight average fiber length of 1 mm or more and 100 mm or less and a thermoplastic resin. The composite material satisfies K1≤1.5×K2 and exhibits excellent conformability during a stretching step in press molding; and a press molded body production method using said composite material. K1 represents the inclination of an approximate straight line of linear approximation on the plot in the range of 35% strain or more, obtained by strain sweep tests from 0% to 100% on the composite material at a temperature of 270° C., a shear of 100 rad/sec, and a normal load of 2 N, plotting, both in logarithmic scales, the values of strain % versus the values of complex viscosity coefficient Pa·sec. K2 represents the inclination of an approximate straight line of linear approximation on the plot in the range of less than 35% strain.
