Abstract
An epoxy resin composition containing an epoxy resin [A1], epoxy resin [B1], epoxy resin [C1] and curing agent [D] wherein [A1] is a bisphenol-type epoxy resin with a softening point of 90° C. or more, [B1] is a tri- or higher functional amine-type epoxy resin, [C1] is a bisphenol F-type epoxy resin with a number average molecular weight of 450 or less, and the epoxy resins [A1] to [C1] satisfy the following contents per 100 parts by mass of total epoxy resin content: [A1] 20 to 50 parts by mass, [B1] 30 to 50 parts by mass and [C1] 10 to 40 parts. The present invention provides low-viscosity epoxy resin compositions that are excellent in impregnating reinforcing fibers and capable of producing cured resins with excellent modulus and toughness, as well as prepregs and fiber-reinforced composite materials based on those epoxy resin compositions.
