2. Description of the Related Art Fiber reinforced composite materials (hereinafter referred to as "FRP") are widely used for sports / leisure and aircraft applications. In order to mold this FRP, generally, a prepreg obtained by impregnating a thermosetting matrix resin composition into a reinforcing material is laminated, and heated and pressed to mold it. An epoxy resin composition is a typical example of the matrix resin composition used for this prepreg. Epoxy resin composition is very excellent in the balance of various properties such as adhesiveness with reinforcing material, curability, mechanical properties after curing, handling property, etc. Due to the existence of so many types of resins and hardeners. Especially, there are many kinds of epoxy resins, and by mixing them, the epoxy resin composition can obtain various properties. For example, when heat resistance is required, a trifunctional or higher polyfunctional epoxy resin may be mixed, and when a proper viscosity level is required as a matrix resin composition for prepreg, a solid epoxy resin is used. The resin and the liquid epoxy resin may be mixed appropriately. By the way, in recent years, FRP has been widely used for industrial purposes, and FRP used for sports / leisure purposes.
In many cases, heat resistance is required as compared with RP.

However, as described above, when heat resistance is required, a polyfunctional epoxy resin having three or more functional groups may be mixed, but in general, when heat resistance is improved, Has a high water absorption rate and poor hot water resistance. It is said that heat resistance is improved by introducing a polyfunctional epoxy resin and increasing the crosslink density of the cured product, but on the other hand, when the crosslink density is increased, the free volume is increased and the water absorption rate is increased. . A typical polyfunctional epoxy resin is tetraglycidyl diaminodiphenylmethane (hereinafter abbreviated as TGDDM). This TGDDM has a very large effect on improving heat resistance and is often used as a matrix resin for heat resistance, but the hot water resistance of the cured product is not so good. As a curing agent, an aromatic amine-based curing agent is effective in improving heat resistance, and particularly diaminodiphenyl sulfone (hereinafter referred to as DDS).
Is abbreviated) is often used as a curing agent for the heat-resistant matrix resin. However, the cured product using this DDS also has improved heat resistance, but its water absorption is high, and its hot water resistance is not high.

An aromatic amine is preferably used as the amine-based curing agent (B). The aromatic amine is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include DDS, diaminodiphenylmethane, phenylenediamine, and xylenediamine. In particular, DDS is preferably used from the balance of heat resistance and physical properties of cured products. In the present invention, the addition amount of the amine-based curing agent (B) forms the skeleton of the invention, and the addition amount of the amine-based curing agent (B) is 10 mass% or more of the stoichiometric amount with respect to the epoxy resin (A). , 70% by mass or less,
The amount is preferably 60% by mass or less, and more preferably 50% by mass or less. Regarding the lower limit, unless added in an amount of 10% by mass or more, the performance, particularly the heat resistance will be deteriorated. It is more desirable to add 20% by mass or more. In an epoxy resin / amine curing system, one active hydrogen atom of an amine reacts with one epoxy group of an epoxy resin, so in general, the number of active hydrogen groups of an epoxy group of an epoxy resin and an amine curing agent is large. The best performance is obtained when blended to match. That is, the compounding amount of the amine-based curing agent is determined such that the active hydrogen equivalent is the same as the epoxy equivalent of the epoxy resin to be compounded. This blending amount is the stoichiometric amount.

The Lewis acid complex (C) is a catalyst that enhances the reactivity of epoxy resin and amine, and an example is an amine complex of boron trifluoride. As described above, in the epoxy resin / amine curing system, the epoxy group and the active hydrogen usually react in a one-to-one manner, and the best performance should be exhibited. However, the present inventors have found that heat resistance and mechanical properties are high. In particular, as a result of examining the toughness and water absorption characteristics, even in the already known amine-curing type epoxy resin composition, in the system in which the Lewis acid complex-type catalyst was added, the addition amount of the amine-type curing agent was changed. It has been found that when the amount is less than the stoichiometric amount, the balance between heat resistance and water absorption is extremely excellent. As described above, when the Lewis acid complex is used to shift the active hydrogen in the direction of being deficient, the mechanism of the epoxy resin composition having a very excellent balance between heat resistance and water absorption is not clear, but its mechanism is not clear. It is thought that the Lewis acid complex is involved. The Lewis acid complex is generally known as a catalyst for an epoxy resin and an amine-based curing agent, but is also known as a catalyst for cationic ring-opening polymerization of epoxy groups. Therefore, with respect to the insufficient active hydrogen, the epoxy groups that have not reacted with the active hydrogen react with each other by the Lewis acid complex and crosslink, and as a result, all the epoxy groups react. Therefore, in addition to the cross-linking of the active hydrogen and the epoxy group, since the cross-linking by ring-opening polymerization of the epoxy group is contained in a good balance, the epoxy resin composition of the present invention is very excellent in the balance of heat resistance and water absorption. presume.

In addition, the bending test of the cured product before water absorption is conducted according to JIS
It carried out based on K7171. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the cured product before and after water absorption was measured by the following method. Using a sample cut into a thickness of 2 mm, a width of 12 mm and a length of 60 mm, a viscoelasticity measuring device (“RDA-
700 ", manufactured by Rheometrics).
As for the temperature raising conditions, the temperature was raised stepwise from around room temperature at 5 ° C./step, and after the temperature was stabilized at each temperature, it was held for 1 minute in order to make the temperature uniform inside the sample. After that, the dynamic shear modulus G ′ of the sample was measured. When the logarithmic value of the obtained G'is plotted against the temperature, a graph as shown in FIG. 1 is obtained. On this graph, the temperature at the intersection A of the tangent line l1 of the inclination when the cured product is in the glass state and the tangent line l2 of the inclination when the cured product is in the state of transition from glass to rubber is shown. It was Tg. Further, the ratio of the glass transition temperature before and after water absorption of the cured product was calculated based on the following formula. The results are shown in Tables 1 to 3.
