Abstract
The present invention provides a prepreg that has high impact resistance despite being an all-carbon-fiber FRP (CFRP), the prepreg moreover enabling a molding time to be set to five minutes or less and making it possible to reduce molding costs. This prepreg is obtained by impregnating carbon fiber with a matrix resin comprising a mixture of a thermoplastic resin, a thermosetting resin, and a curing agent, wherein: the thermoplastic resin is a phenoxy resin; the thermosetting resin is a urethane acrylate resin; the thermoplastic resin and the thermosetting resin are compounded in a mass ratio of 15:85-35:65 (thermoplastic resin/thermosetting resin); and the curing agent causes cross-linking to occur due to a radical polymerization reaction, and is formed so as to include first and second peroxides having mutually different initiation temperatures, initiation of the second peroxide starting at a temperature at which termination of the first peroxide occurs.
