Abstract
A prepreg for fiber-reinforced composite materials comprising (A) a reinforcing fiber having a modulus of elasticity of 200 GPa or more, (B) a fibrous thermoplastic resin having a modulus of elasticity of 100 GPa or less, and (C) a thermosetting matrix resin. The prepreg of the present invention does not only have excellent handling property equivalent to that of the prepreg with the conventional thermosetting resin as a matrix, but also gives excellent toughness to the resulting molded product without injuring the thermal and mechanical properties. Particularly, it has a high resistance to interlaminar fracture when exposed to impact, so that it is preferably used as a structural material for airplanes, etc.
