A composite material layer, the composite material layer comprising a curable resin which is in the form of a solid layer at 20°C, wherein the composite material layer comprises a prepreg comprising at least one ply of fibrous reinforcement material which is at least partly impregnated by the curable resin or the composite material layer comprises a film of the curable resin which is optionally carried on a support layer, wherein at least 50 wt% of the curable resin comprises at least one polymerisable vinyl ester prepolymer having at least two carbon-carbon unsaturated functional groups, the prepolymer being polymerisable by reaction of the unsaturated functional groups to form a cured resin, wherein the curable resin further comprises a free-radical curing system for polymerizing the polymerisable vinyl ester prepolymer. In a preferred embodiment, the prepolymer is the reaction product of an epoxy resin and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate phthalate.
