Abstract

A photocurable prepreg composition which is characterized by easy control of a B stage state of a thermosetting resin such as an unsaturated polyester resin or an epoxy acrylate resin, excellent storage stability, and remarkable curability after being shaped; as well as a production method therefor. A photocurable prepreg composition which contains an unsaturated polyester resin and/or an epoxy acrylate resin; at least two photopolymerization initiators with photosensitivity in different wavelength ranges; and an inorganic or an organic fiber-reinforcing material and/or filler, and which composition is treated with light of a specific wavelength such that at least one photopolymerization initiator and radical-polymerizable unsaturated groups remain partially in said resin; a production method therefor; and formed articles produced therefrom.
