Abstract
Abstract A single tow prepreg which is impregnated with a composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a thermosetting resin having a softening point below 20° C. and 3 to 30 parts by weight of a high molecular weight compound having a glass transition temperature below -10° C. This prepreg is characterized in particular by high flexibility and non-tackiness.
