Abstract
Provided is a thermoplastic resin prepreg comprising a fiber-reinforced substrate and a thermoplastic resin composition partially or completely impregnated in the fiber-reinforced substrate, the thermoplastic resin prepreg being characterized in that the thermoplastic resin composition contains at least 50 [mass %] of polyether ether ketone among all the thermoplastic resins contained in the thermoplastic resin composition, and the sum of the crystallinity WC [%] of the thermoplastic resin composition and the rigid amorphous component proportion WRAP [%] in the thermoplastic resin composition is in the range of 51 to 100 [%].
Claims13
A thermoplastic resin prepreg comprising a fiber-reinforced substrate and a thermoplastic resin composition partially or completely impregnated into the fiber-reinforced substrate, wherein
- the content of the fiber-reinforced substrate in the entire thermoplastic resin prepreg is 40 to 85 [mass %],
- the thermoplastic resin composition contains 50 [mass %] or more of polyether ether ketone among all thermoplastic resins contained in the thermoplastic resin composition, and
- a sum (WC+WRAP) of a crystallinity WC [%] of the thermoplastic resin composition and a rigid amorphous component proportion WRAP [%] in the thermoplastic resin composition is in a range of 51 to 100 [%].
A method for manufacturing a thermoplastic resin prepreg, which includes a fiber-reinforced substrate and a thermoplastic resin composition containing a crystalline thermoplastic resin, and in which the thermoplastic resin composition is partially or completely impregnated into the fiber-reinforced substrate, wherein
- the content of the fiber-reinforced substrate in the entire thermoplastic resin prepreg is 40 to 85 [mass %],
- the method comprising a step of heating at a heat treatment temperature equal to or higher than a glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin composition and then cooling to the glass transition temperature or lower in a state in which the thermoplastic resin composition is impregnated into the fiber-reinforced substrate or when the thermoplastic resin composition is impregnated into the fiber-reinforced substrate, wherein an average cooling rate during the cooling satisfies Condition (A) or (B) below:
- Condition (A):
- in a case of (the heat treatment temperature)<(the glass transition temperature+150 [° C.]), the average cooling rate from the heat treatment temperature to the glass transition temperature is 80 [° C./sec] or less;
- or
- Condition (B):
- in a case of (the heat treatment temperature)>(the glass transition temperature+150 [° C.]), the average cooling rate from (the glass transition temperature+150 [° C.]) to the glass transition temperature is 80 [° C./sec] or less.
