Problems solved by technology

[0011] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses that in order to improve the adhesion between carbon fibers and the sizing agent, the sizing agent has an inclined structure. However, in Patent Document 1 and any other documents (Patent Documents 2 to 5, etc.), there is no following Technical idea, that is, the surface of the size layer satisfies the reaction of the epoxy compound (which has high adhesion to carbon fiber) and the components in the matrix at the same time, and achieves high adhesion to the matrix resin
[0012] In addition, Patent Document 6 discloses that a polyfunctional aliphatic compound exists in the inner layer of the sizing agent, and an aromatic epoxy resin and an aromatic reactant with low reactivity exist in the outer layer. However, since there is no polyfunctional aliphatic compound with high adhesion in the surface layer of the sizing agent, it is difficult to achieve high adhesion with the matrix resin

Abstract

Provided are a prepreg and a carbon-fiber-reinforced composite material having excellent long-term storage stability and adhesiveness between a carbon fiber and a matrix resin. The present invention is a prepreg made by impregnating a sizing-agent-coated carbon fiber, which is coated with a sizing agent including an aliphatic epoxy compound (A) and an aromatic epoxy compound (B1), with a thermosetting resin composition including a thermosetting resin (D), a latent curing agent (E), and, if necessary, an additive (F) other than the thermosetting resin (D) and the latent curing agent (E), the prepreg being characterized in that the ratio ((a) / (b)) between (a) the height of a binding energy component attributed to CHx, C-C, and C=C and (b) the height of a binding energy component attributed to C-O in a C1s core spectrum obtained by measuring the surface of said sizing-agent-coated carbon fiber by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is within a predetermined range.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a prepreg and a carbon fiber-reinforced composite material suitable for sports applications such as golf clubs, fishing rods, and other general industrial applications including aircraft components, spacecraft components, automobile components, and ship components. More specifically, the present invention relates to a prepreg and a carbon fiber-reinforced composite material that have excellent adhesion between a matrix resin and carbon fibers, and can suppress a decrease in mechanical properties during long-term storage. Background technique [0002] In recent years, fiber-reinforced composite materials using carbon fibers or aramid fibers as reinforcing fibers have been used in structural materials such as aircraft and automobiles, tennis rackets, golf balls, etc., by taking advantage of their high specific strength and specific elastic modulus. Sports and general industrial uses such as rods and fishing rods, etc. ...
