The specific embodiment
Then, embodiment of the present invention is described.
(pitch-based carbon fiber)
(average fiber length: NAL, VAL)
The number average fiber length (NAL) of carbon fiber of the present invention is 25~500 μ m, and volume averaging fibre length (VAL) is 55~750 μ m, is 1.02~1.50 with volume averaging fibre length (VAL) divided by the value (VAL/NAL) of number average fiber length (NAL).
Number average fiber length (NAL) is preferably 50~500 μ m, and more preferably 100~500 μ m further are preferably 100~400 μ m.
Volume averaging fibre length (VAL) is preferably 60~750 μ m, more preferably 100~600 μ m.
VAL/NAL is preferably 1.1~1.4, and more preferably 1.15~1.35.
If number average fiber length (NAL) less than 55 μ m, then can not fully form network between the carbon fiber in the matrix less than 25 μ m or volume averaging fibre length (VAL), can not bring into play high pyroconductivity.On the other hand, if number average fiber length (NAL) surpasses 500 μ m or volume averaging fibre length (VAL) surpasses 750 μ m, then the friendship network of fiber (friendship network) obviously increases, and viscosity becomes very big with mixed with resin the time, handles the difficulty that becomes.
Be meant the range of the fiber length distribution of carbon fiber divided by the value (VAL/NAL) of number average fiber length (NAL) with volume averaging fibre length (VAL).Under this was worth less than 1.02 situation, fibre length was almost completely identical, is practically impossible.In addition, under greater than 1.50 situation, mean that fiber length distribution is very wide, comprise very short or very long carbon fiber, cause pyroconductivity to descend or the viscosity rising.
Average fiber length can be controlled through pulverization conditions.That is, the rotating speed of the cutting machine in the time of can passing through to regulate with pulverizing such as cutting machines, the revolution of ball mill, the air velocity of airslide disintegrating mill, the collision frequency of crushing machine, the time of staying in the reducing mechanism, control average fiber length.In addition, can regulate removing the fibre length carbon fiber of carbon fiber after pulverizing short or that fibre length is long through the classification operation such as sieving.
(on sieve residual ratio)
Hope pitch-based carbon fiber of the present invention be 100~500 μ m in number average fiber length (NAL), when with aperture (order is opened I) being the sieve classification of sieve aperture (mesh) of 53 μ m, residual ratio is 30~60% on sieve; When with the aperture being the sieve classification of sieve aperture of 100 μ m, residual ratio is 10~29% on sieve.Be residual carbon fiber on the sieve of sieve aperture of 53 μ m in the aperture, be suitable for forming matrix, conduction is worked effectively to heat.In addition, residual carbon fiber on the sieve of the sieve aperture of 100 μ m, bulk density is high, therefore in matrix, hands over network and forms the space.Through in this space, being placed in short carbon fiber residual under the sieve aperture of 53 μ m, thereby make the occupied state of the carbon fiber in the matrix become good.Though this condition is able to suitably to satisfy, with the sieve classification of the sieve aperture of 53 μ m the time, residual ratio is 30~60% on sieve, and when in the use aperture being the sieve classification of sieve aperture of 100 μ m, residual ratio is 10~29% on sieve.Can be controlled at ratio residual on the sieve through control pulverization conditions and classification condition.
Be after pulverizing, to remove fibre length pitch-based carbon fiber filler short or fibre length length as concrete control method with sieve, sieve shape thing (mesh).In addition; The revolution of the intensity of pulverizing through control, the cutter of for example cutting machine, the revolution of ball mill, the air velocity of airslide disintegrating mill, the collision frequency of crushing machine, the time of staying in the reducing mechanism etc.; Distribution that can controlling fiber length; Through controlling and making up, can more critically control the ratio on the sieve with the control of sieve, sieve shape thing (mesh).
(fiber diameter: AD)
The fiber diameter of carbon fiber (AD) is 5~20 μ m.Under the situation of less than 5 μ m, with matrix composite the time, it is many that the radical of filler becomes, and therefore, the viscosity of the mixture of matrix/filler uprises, and difficulty is shaped.If surpass 20 μ m, then with matrix composite the time, the radical of filler tails off, and therefore, just is not easy contact between filler, when becoming composite, is not easy to bring into play effective heat conduction.Fiber diameter (AD) is preferably 5~15 μ m, more preferably 7~13 μ m.
The fibre diameter decentralized photo is for the percentage (CV of fiber diameter (AD) ADValue) be 5~15.
CV ADValue can be tried to achieve by following formula:
CV AD=S/AD (1)
Here, S is the fibre diameter decentralization, and AD is a fiber diameter.
In addition, S can be tried to achieve by following formula (2):
S = &Sigma; ( D - AD ) 2 n - - - ( 2 )
Here, D is the fibre diameter of each fiber, and n is the number of measuring.
CV ADBe worth more for a short time, mean that process stability is high, product inhomogeneous little.CV ADValue was less than 5 o'clock, and fibre diameter reaches unanimity, and therefore was difficult between filler, insert the little filler of fibre diameter, with matrix composite the time, was difficult to add in a large number, and the result is difficult to obtain high performance composite.Otherwise, at CV ADValue is greater than under 15 the situation, and with matrix composite the time, it is irregular to be easy to generate viscosity, the dispersed reduction.As a result, become inhomogeneous, can not produce the uniform thermal conducting rate in the dispersion of the filler of composite inner.CV ADValue can be when regulating spinning the viscosity of mesophase pitch of fusion realize, specifically, can be through when utilizing meltblown to carry out spinning, the molten asphalt during with spinning is adjusted into 5~25PaS and realizes.

(real density)
The real density of carbon fiber is preferably 1.5~2.3g/cc, and more preferably 1.8~2.3g/cc further is preferably 2.1~2.3g/cc.In the time of in this scope, degree of graphitization is very high, can give full play to hot conductivity, and simultaneously, also the characteristic with the carbon fiber of gained is corresponding to be used for graphited cost of energy.
(pyroconductivity)
Carbon fiber fiber axis to pyroconductivity be preferably more than the 300W/mK, more preferably 600~1,100W/mK.Under the situation more than the 300W/mK, can obtain sufficient heat conductivity being mixed with under the situation of formed body with matrix.
(preparation method of pitch-based carbon fiber)
Pitch-based carbon fiber of the present invention can make as follows: with meltblown the mesophase pitch of fusion is carried out spinning, again through not melting, fire, pulverize, as required and classification prepares.Preferably after pulverizing, carry out graphitization processing.
(raw material)
As the raw material of pitch-based carbon fiber of the present invention, for example can enumerate fused polycycle hydrocarbon compounds such as naphthalene, phenanthrene; Condensed heterocyclic compouds such as petroleum-type pitch, coal class pitch etc.Wherein, fused polycycle hydrocarbon compounds such as preferred naphthalene, phenanthrene.Preferred especially optical anisotropy pitch, i.e. mesophase pitch.They can use a kind of separately, also can two or more appropriate combination be used, but use mesophase pitch that the heat conductivity of carbon fiber is improved separately, so preferred especially.
The softening point of material asphalt can use Mettler softening point method (メ ト ラ one method) to try to achieve, preferably more than 250 ℃ below 350 ℃.If softening point is lower than 250 ℃, then when not melting, produce fusion adhesion or big thermal contraction between the fiber.In addition, if softening point is higher than 350 ℃, the temperature that is suitable for spinning uprises, and thermal decomposition takes place pitch easily, and it is difficult that spinning becomes.
(spinning)
Material asphalt can be through discharging (spuing) and with the melt spinning of its cooling and fibration from nozzle after fusion.Do not have special restriction as spinning process, particularly can enumerate: the common spin processes that will batch from the pitch that nozzle (mouthful gold) is discharged with up-coiler; Adopt hot blast as the meltblown of spraying (atomizing) source; Utilize centrifugal spinning that centrifugal force batches pitch etc., but, preferably use meltblown from reasons such as productivity height.
Material asphalt preferably behind melt spinning, through not melting, fire, pulverizing, carries out graphitization at last.Below, be example with the meltblown, each operation is described.
In the present invention; Shape to as the spinning-nozzle of the pitch fibers of pitch-based carbon fiber raw material does not have special restriction, and the preferred spinning-nozzle that uses is: seal wire angle α is 10~90 °, the length L of outlet and the nozzle of ratio L/D in 6~20 scope of diameter D.Nozzle temperature during spinning gets final product so long as can keep the temperature of stable spinning state.For making the inhomogeneous little of fibre diameter, that is, make CV ADBe in the scope of regulation, the viscosity of the molten asphalt during spinning is preferably 5~25PaS, more preferably 6~22PaS.According to the composition of material asphalt, be the content of effumability composition, and make the temperature dependency of viscosity of molten asphalt different, but specifically,, then can realize this viscosity mostly if the temperature of molten asphalt is adjusted into the temperature higher 40~60 ℃ than softening point.When spinning condition was in this scope, it was arrangement (assortment) to a certain degree that the shear load in the material asphalt can make aromatic rings.In the time of outside spinning condition is in this scope, for example in viscosity too small the seal wire angle is too small or the L/D condition that shear load is stronger when excessive etc. under, aromatic rings is exceedingly arranged, when graphitization, carbon fiber damages easily.Otherwise under or the condition that shear load such as the seal wire angle is excessive or L/D is too small is littler excessive in viscosity, aromatic rings is less arranged, and therefore, does not also more improve degree of graphitization even carry out graphitization processing, can not obtain high heat conductivity.
For pitch fibers, make short fiber by near the gas that refinement point (refinement point), sprays the linear velocity of the per minute 100~10000m that is heated to 100~350 ℃ from the nozzle bore wire vent.The temperature of gas is high approximately, then the time till the bitumen solidification elongated, the stretching action of performance longer time has the tendency that obtains thinner fiber.The preferred gas that sprays the temperature close with the melt temperature of material asphalt.Equally, the linear velocity of jet body big more, then the stronger stretching action of performance has the tendency that obtains thinner fiber.But if the linear velocity of gas is too high, then pitch fibers can fracture, after the loss stated on the wire guipure (gold net ベ Le ト) become big.Melt viscosity and the difference of preferred linear velocity during according to spinning, particularly, when melt viscosity was 100PaS, linear velocity was preferably per minute 3,000~7,000m.The gas that is sprayed can use air, nitrogen and argon gas, but considers from the cost performance aspect, preferred air.
Pitch fibers is caught to combine on the woven wire band, forms continuous felted (マ Star ト shape), and then becomes the three-dimensional random felt through cross lapping (cross lap).
The three-dimensional random felt is meant that except cross lapping, pitch fibers is handed over the felt of network also three-dimensionally.This friendship network is to realize to the tube that is called as chimney (chimney) the wire guipure from nozzle.Because the fiber of wire is handed over network three-dimensionally, so usually only show characteristic also reflection to some extent in solid of fiber of the behavior of one dimension.
(not melting)
To contain the three-dimensional random felt of the pitch fibers that as above obtains, not melt with known method.Do not melt and be to use air or ozone, nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, iodine, bromine are made an addition in the air and the gas that forms, under 200~350 ℃, carry out.Consider security and convenience, preferably in air, implement.
(firing)
In addition, will pass through infusible pitch fibers in a vacuum or in inert gases such as nitrogen, argon gas, krypton gas,, fire under 500 ℃ 600~1.Fire and many in the cheap nitrogen of normal pressure and cost, implement.
(pulverizing)
Can be through after not melting or after firing, pulverized fiber obtains pitch-based carbon fiber.Pulverizing can be carried out with known method.Specifically, can use cutting machine, ball mill, airslide disintegrating mill, crushing machine etc.
