Prepreg, molded article, and integrally molded article

Abstract

A problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a prepreg and an integrally molded article, wherein the prepreg exhibits suitable flexibility and adhesiveness, excels in formability on a complicated mold face and adhesion to a mold face, causes no positional shift, and can be efficiently reinforced and stiffened at an intended position. A main object of the present invention is to provide a prepreg including (A) reinforcing fibers, (B) a thermosetting resin, and (C) a thermoplastic resin, wherein the (C) thermoplastic resin exists in at least a part of a face of the prepreg, and wherein the prepreg satisfies the condition [I], and satisfies the condition [II] or the condition [III]: [I]: the (B) thermosetting resin has a peak in the temperature range of more than 100° C. and 180° C. or less on a loss tangent (tan δ) curve measured under isokinetic heating by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA); [II]: on a loss angle δ curve obtained by measuring the prepreg isothermally by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), the loss angle δ curve has a point representing the maximum value, and has a point which represents a loss angle δ value 5° or more smaller than the maximum value, and which is on the earlier time side of the point representing the maximum value; and [III]: even if, on the loss angle δ curve obtained by measuring the prepreg isothermally by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), the loss angle δ curve has a point representing the maximum value, the loss angle δ curve does not have a point which represents a loss angle δ value 5° or more smaller than the maximum value, and which is on the earlier time side of the point representing the maximum value, or the loss angle δ curve does not have a point representing the maximum value, and has a descendingly behaving section in which the loss angle δ value becomes 5° or more smaller at a slope of −1.4°/minute or more.
