The effect of a two‐step free‐radical photopolymerization of an acrylate resin on the polymer properties in the presence of glass fibers is studied. It is found that a first irradiation leading to a partial conversion is effective for the fabrication of a preimpregnated glass‐fiber composite, which can be further processed and fully polymerized through a second irradiation. DMA analysis evidences the formation of a first relatively soft polymer embedding unreacted double bonds during the preirradiation. Further process allows the completion of the photopolymerization together with a reinforcement of the polymer network. This obviously affects the final mechanical properties of the photocomposite. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2019, 57, 1440–1447
