Patent ID: 10544274

Abstract:
A prepreg includes conductive fibers impregnated with a matrix resin, the prepreg having a conductive region where a conductive material is dispersed in the resin. In the present invention, a resin layer composed of at least the matrix resin preferably is present on one or both surfaces of a conductive fiber layer composed of at least the conductive fibers, and the conductive region is present at least in the resin layer. In addition, the above-described conductive region preferably is present continuously in the thickness direction. The conductive region preferably is a conductive region where the conductive material is dispersed in the matrix resin, and the resin in the conductive region preferably forms a continuous phase with the matrix resin in other regions. A volume resistivity of the conductive region preferably is 1/1,000 or less of that of other regions of the matrix resin.
