Problems solved by technology

However, since the sub-bundles of the carbon fiber bundle are not sufficiently integrated with each other, some of the sub-bundles may be separated during production or processing of the carbon fiber bundle, and entanglement on rollers or the like may occur.

Embodiment 1

[0172]

[0173] Will be mixed with the epoxy resin of the component (A-1) 62 mass parts and component (A-2) 13 mass parts as component (A), component (B-1) 10 mass parts and surfactant (C-1 ) 15 parts by mass were mixed to obtain a sizing agent. Ion-exchanged water was added to the above-mentioned sizing agent, and an aqueous dispersion having a concentration of the sizing agent of 30% by mass was prepared by phase inversion emulsification using a homomixer.

[0174]

[0175] The acrylonitrile-based copolymer was wet spun to obtain a carbon fiber bundle precursor having 3,000 filaments and a total fineness of 3,600 tex, and 5 bundles of the carbon fiber bundle precursor were bundled and wound on a bobbin. The bundled carbon fiber bundle precursor was fired to obtain a carbon fiber bundle including 5 individual tows, a total number of filaments of 15,000, and a total fineness of 1,000 tex. Next, the carbon fiber bundle was electrolytically oxidized using ammonium bicarbona...

Embodiment 2~12

[0177] Except having changed the composition of a sizing agent and the adhesion amount of a sizing agent as shown in Table 1, it carried out similarly to Example 1, and produced the carbon fiber bundle with a sizing agent. The adhesion amount of the sizing agent is adjusted by adjusting the concentration of the sizing agent in the aqueous dispersion.

Embodiment 13

[0179] A carbon fiber bundle (trade name "TR50S 15L", manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation) was used as a continuous fiber bundle. The carbon fiber bundle was intermittently divided so that the length of the undivided part between adjacent sub-filament bundles was 16 mm, and a carbon fiber bundle including 5 sub-bundles with a total filament number of 15,000 and a total fineness of 1,000 tex was obtained. Next, it carried out similarly to Example 2, and produced the carbon fiber bundle with a sizing agent.

Abstract

Provided is a sizing agent containing component (A) and component (B), wherein the mass ratio A / B of component (A) relative to component (B) is 0.5-20, and the ratio of the total combined amount of component (A) and component (B) to the total amount of the sizing agent is at least 80 mass%. The component (A) is an epoxy resin having a viscosity at 30 DEG C of 1-180,000 Pa.s. The component (B) is an aliphatic ester compound having a freezing point of 50 DEG C or lower.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a sizing agent, a reinforcing fiber bundle, a fiber-reinforced resin molding material and a fiber-reinforced composite material. [0002] This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-123885 for which it applied in Japan on June 29, 2018, and uses the content for this application. Background technique [0003] A carbon fiber-reinforced composite material formed by molding a molding material including carbon fibers as reinforcing fibers is light in weight and high in strength, and thus is widely used in various fields. As the molding material, a sheet molding compound (SMC) using short fibers, a prepreg using continuous fibers, and the like are known. SMC has excellent fluidity, so it is suitable for forming complex shapes that are difficult to mold from prepregs. [0004] When short fibers are used, it is known that the mechanical properties of the composite material are strongly influ...
