An FRP is produced using a prepreg comprising reinforcing
fiber, a sheet-like reinforcing
fiber substrate containing reinforcing
fiber, and a matrix resin, wherein the matrix resin is impregnated into the sheet-like reinforcing fiber substrate and also covers one surface of the sheet-like reinforcing fiber substrate, and the matrix resin impregnation ratio is within a range of 35% to 95%; a prepreg comprising reinforcing fiber, a sheet-like reinforcing fiber substrate containing reinforcing fiber, and a matrix resin, wherein the matrix resin exists on both surfaces of the sheet-like reinforcing fiber substrate, and the portion inside the sheet-like reinforcing fiber substrate into which the matrix resin has not been impregnated is continuous; or a prepreg comprising reinforcing fiber, a sheet-like reinforcing fiber substrate containing reinforcing fiber, and a matrix resin, wherein at least one surface exhibits a sea-and-island-type pattern comprising resin-impregnated portions (island portions) where the matrix resin is present at the surface and fiber portions (sea portions) where the matrix resin is not present at the surface, the surface
coverage ratio of the matrix resin on those surfaces with said a sea-and-island-type pattern is within a range of 3% to 80%, and the weave intersection
coverage ratio for the island portions, represented by a formula (1) shown below, is at least 40%, displays excellent external appearance, with no internal voids or surface pinholes, even when molded is conducted using only
vacuum pressure.Island portions weave intersection
coverage ratio (%)=(T / Y)×100 (1)(wherein, T represents a number of island portions that cover weave intersections, and Y represents a number of weave intersections within said reinforcing fiber
woven fabric on said surface with said sea-and-island-type pattern).
