The [B] further comprises [B′]; a ratio of a mole number of an active hydrogen contained in [B′] to a mole number of an epoxy group in an epoxy resin contained in [B] is in a range of 0.6 to 1.1 both inclusive; [C] is present on a surface of the prepreg; and [A] that crosses over a boundary surface between a resin region containing [B] and a resin region containing [C] and that is in contact with both resin regions is present: [A] a reinforcing fiber; [B] an epoxy resin composition; an amine compound; and [C] a thermoplastic resin composition.

Disclosed herein are a repair apparatus, system, and method for structurally reinforcing an abnormal composite structural member. The repair is suited for reinforcing a cured composite structure that defines a strength tolerance and has an abnormality that reduces the structural strength relative to the strength tolerance of the cured composite. The structural reinforcement repairs the abnormality in the cured composite and provides the repair strength so that the repaired composite has a structural strength that meets or exceeds the strength tolerance. The structural reinforcement has a composite patch that is coupled to the cured composite over the abnormality and is covered by pressure-sensitive tape.
