具体的には、界面6と島相7との距離が、100μm以下であることが好ましく、70μm以下であることがより好ましく、50μm以下であることがさらに好ましい。
ここで、熱硬化性樹脂層3と熱可塑性樹脂層4との界面6と島相7との距離とは、熱硬化性樹脂層3と熱可塑性樹脂層4との界面6と、無作為に選定した島相7の断面の外周との最短距離について、10点測定したものの平均値である。上記最短距離は、例えば、繊維強化プラスチックの繊維方向と直交する断面を観察する公知の手法を用いることで測定できる。例えば、X線CTを用いて取得した断面画像から測定する方法、エネルギー分散型X線分光器(EDS)による元素分析マッピング画像から測定する方法、あるいは光学顕微鏡あるいは走査電子顕微鏡(SEM)あるいは透過型電子顕微鏡(TEM)による断面観察画像から測定する方法が挙げられる。
本発明において「同種である」とは、添加剤などを除いた主成分が同じであることを意味する。また、「主成分が同じである」とは、主たる骨格が同一であることを意味し、繰り返し単位数や末端処理が異なるものも含む。熱可塑性樹脂を主成分とする島相またはゴム質重合体を主成分とする島相と熱可塑性樹脂層の分析方法としては、示差走査熱量計(DSC)によるガラス転移温度から分析する方法、エネルギー分散型X線分光器(EDS)による元素分析マッピング画像から分析する方法、ナノインデンテーション法による弾性率から分析する方法が例示できる。
島相の平均粒径および長軸の長さは、例えば、繊維強化プラスチックの繊維方向と直交する断面を光学顕微鏡で観察することで確認できる。平均粒径は、強化繊維の直交断面で観察し、無作為に選択した島相の少なくとも20個についておおよそ外形を代表する円の直径から算出することができる。また、観察した断面の島相の最大長さを島相の長軸の長さとすることで測定できる。なお、島相の長軸とは、上記断面観察画像で確認される島相の内部を通る直線のうち、島相の外周における最も離れた2点を通る線分から算出する。
ここで、島相の体積割合の測定の説明を助けるため、繊維強化プラスチックの平面に垂直な断面の模式図を図2に示す。繊維強化プラスチックの繊維方向に直交の断面において、最も繊維強化プラスチックの表面9に近い繊維を、最外繊維10とし、最外繊維10の中心を通る、繊維強化プラスチックの表面と水平な基準線11から、熱硬化性樹脂層3側へ厚さ方向に100μmの測定範囲12において、島相7の体積%を算出する。
繊維強化プラスチックにおいて、熱硬化性樹脂層と熱可塑性樹脂層との界面は、強化繊維群の内部に位置する。
ここで、界面の凹凸形状の確認方法としては、公知の手法を用いることが出来る。例えば、X線CTを用いて取得した断面画像から確認する方法、エネルギー分散型X線分光器(EDS)による元素分析マッピング画像から確認する方法、あるいは光学顕微鏡あるいは走査電子顕微鏡(SEM)あるいは透過型電子顕微鏡(TEM)による断面観察画像から確認する方法が挙げられる。観察において、熱硬化性樹脂層および/または熱可塑性樹脂層はコントラストを調整するために、染色されても良い。
ここでの含浸率は、繊維強化プラスチックを構成する強化繊維群に樹脂がどの程度含浸しているかの割合である。含浸率は、樹脂が含浸していない箇所の割合を特定の方法で測定することにより求めることができる。含浸率が大きいほど、繊維強化プラスチック中に含まれる空隙が少ないことを意味し、表面外観や、力学特性をより高める観点から、高い含浸率が好ましい。
含浸率の測定方法としては、繊維強化プラスチックの繊維方向と直交する断面観察において、繊維強化プラスチック中の空隙部を含む繊維強化プラスチックの総断面積をA0、空隙の断面積A1としたときに以下の式(1)によって求める方法が挙げられる。
熱硬化性樹脂層は、第二の熱可塑性樹脂またはゴム質重合体を主成分とする島相が、熱硬化性樹脂を主成分とする海相に分散した海島構造を有する。また、熱可塑性樹脂層と前記熱硬化性樹脂層との界面が前記強化繊維群の内部に位置する。
熱硬化性樹脂層は、強化繊維群と熱硬化性樹脂により形成することができる。
強化繊維群と熱硬化性樹脂組成物についてそれぞれ詳細を説明する。
強化繊維群は、強化繊維の集合体(繊維束)のことであり、連続繊維、不連続繊維のいずれであってもよく、一方向に配列された形態およびその積層形態、または織物の形態等から適宜選択できる。軽量で耐久性がより高い水準にある繊維強化プラスチックを得る観点から、強化繊維が一方向に配列された連続繊維または織物であることが好ましい。
かかる繊維束は、同一の強化繊維から構成されていても、あるいは、異なる強化繊維から構成されていても良い。強化繊維束を構成する繊維数には特に限定はなく、300~60,000本が例示でき、生産性の観点から、好ましくは300~48,000本であり、より好ましくは1,000~24,000本である。
COSθ=(8本の単繊維が受ける力F(mN))/((8(単繊維の数)×単繊維の円周(m)×溶媒の表面張力(mJ/m2))
なお、測定は、3箇所の強化繊維束の異なる場所から抜き出した単繊維について実施する。すなわち、一つの強化繊維束に対して合計24本の単繊維についての接触角の平均値を求める。
表面自由エネルギーの極性成分γp fは、次式で示されるオーエンスの近似式(各溶媒固有の表面張力の極性成分と非極性成分、さらに接触角θにより構成させる式)に各液体の表面張力の成分、接触角を代入しX、Yにプロットした後、最小自乗法により直線近似したときの傾きaの自乗により求められる。表面自由エネルギーの非極性成分γd fは切片bの自乗により求められる。強化繊維の表面自由エネルギーγfは、傾きaの自乗と切片bの自乗の和である。
Y=a・X+b
X=√(溶媒の表面張力の極性成分(mJ/m2))/√(溶媒の表面張力の非極性成分(mJ/m2)
Y=(1+COSθ)・(溶媒の表面張力の極性成分(mJ/m2))/2√(溶媒の表面張力の非極性成分(mJ/m2)
強化繊維の表面自由エネルギーの極性成分γp f=a2

第二の熱可塑性樹脂は、熱可塑性樹脂を主成分とすること以外は、特に制限はなく、熱硬化性樹脂層の靱性を向上させるためには、靱性の高い樹脂を好ましく用いることができる。また、島相は、熱可塑性樹脂を主成分として含有する熱可塑性樹脂組成物を用いて形成することができる。熱可塑性樹脂組成物は、繊維強化プラスチックの用途に応じて、添加剤などを含んでいてもよい。
第二の熱可塑性樹脂と熱硬化性樹脂の成分の比率(質量%)は95:5~70:30の範囲で用いることができ、より好ましくは90:10~80:20の範囲である。ここで、熱硬化性樹脂としては、エポキシ化合物に限定されず、不飽和ポリエステル、ビニルエステル樹脂、ベンゾオキサジン樹脂、フェノール樹脂、尿素樹脂、メラミン樹脂およびポリイミド樹脂から選択してもよい。熱硬化性樹脂は、海相と同じ熱硬化性樹脂の成分であることがより好ましい。
第二の熱可塑性樹脂を主成分とする島相の形状には特に制限はなく、熱硬化性樹脂を主成分とする海相に分散した海島構造であれば良い。島相の形状は例えば、繊維形状や粒子形状でもよく、強化繊維のアライメントの乱れを抑制する観点から、球状形状であることが好ましい。例えば、繊維強化プラスチック平面に垂直な断面において観察される第二の熱可塑性樹脂を主成分とする島相の断面形状が円形、楕円形、凹凸を含む略円形であることがより好ましい。中でも、応力集中の起点の少ない円形がさらに好ましい。
