PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the releasability of a prepreg from a releasing paper or the like, its flexibility and its self-adhesion by a method wherein an intermediate prepreg consisting of predetermined constituent elements is produced and heat-treated at a certain fixed surface temperature and, at the same time, treated under the state that the difference between the surface temperature and a solid temperature is kept within a specified range. SOLUTION: In order to manufacture the prepreg, after an intermediate prepreg, which is obtained by impregnating a thermoplastic resin-containing water-based resol resin in reinforcing fibers, is produced, the intermediate prepreg is heat-treated at a certain fixed surface temperature and, at the same time, treated under the state that the difference between the surface temperature and a solid temperature is kept within 5 deg.C. In this case, the surface temperature represents the temperature at the outermost layer of the intermediate prepreg. Further, the solid temperature represents the temperature at the middle portion of the intermediate prepreg. In addition, the heat treating temperature is set in the range of 25-60 deg.C. The treating time of the heat treating is in the range of l2 hours - 30 days. Thus, a prepreg, the releasability existing between which and a releasing paper and/or a releasing film, a flexibility of which and the self-adhesion of which are favorable, is obtained.

The carbon fiber prepreg of the present invention is characterized in that a carbon fiber bundle comprising a plurality of continuous carbon filaments and having a hook drop value of 10 cm or more as the degree of fiber entanglement is impregnated with a base resin mainly composed of a thermosetting resin, and that particles of 150 mu m or less in particle size made of a thermoplastic resin account for 20 wt% or less based on the weight of the entire prepreg and distributed at a higher concentration in the surface zone than in the inside. The carbon fiber prepreg of the present invention is good in tackiness and less changing in tackiness with the lapse of time, and can form a composite with an excellent compression interlaminar shear strength (CILS) at high temperature after moisture absorption while maintaining good impact resistance. It also allows the production of a composite very higher than the conventional composite in the compressive strength (LCS) of a cross laminated panel. The carbon fiber prepreg of the present invention can be preferably used as a structural member in such areas as aerospace area, sporting area and civil engineering and architecture area.
