Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrically conductive paper structure, a method for producing the same and the use of the electrically conductive paper structure.
- Electrically conductive paper structures e.g. based on cellulosic pulps and carbon fibers are known in the art, see e.g. EP 2 770 104 Bl. It is therefore fundamentally known to use flat paper substrates with conductive fibers, in particular metal fibers or graphitized carbon fibers, or other materials that provide conductivity, e.g. Carbon-N anotubes to be equipped so that the electric current flows through the flat paper substrate.
- the paper substrate can be used for different purposes, e.g. as a heating element, as an element for electromagnetic shielding or as an element for signal detection.
- the electrically conductive paper structure can be contacted in various ways in order to conduct electrical current through the paper structure starting from the contacts.
- Adhesive contacts that are applied to parts of the surface of the electrically conductive paper structure are common, for example.
- the disadvantage here is the contact through rather poorly conductive organic adhesive layers, which are also susceptible to peeling off under mechanical stress.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing an electrically conductive paper structure with improved contacting.
- Electrically conductive paper structure according to Clause 1 wherein in the electrically conductive paper structure a plurality of continuous, electrically conductive threads for contacting the electrically conductive paper structure from one end to the opposite end of the paper structure are embedded, the majority preferably being embedded assumes a value in the range from two to eight, more preferably a value in the range from two to six and particularly preferably the value two. 3.
- Electrically conductive paper structure according to Clause 1 or 2 the electrically conductive fibers being metallic fibers, in particular special metallic short-cut fibers with a preferred fiber length in a range of 3 mm to 12 mm, and / or carbon fibers.
- Electrically conductive paper structure according to one of clauses 1 to 3, the electrically conductive paper structure containing additional electrically conductive materials, in particular carbon particles and / or carbon nanotubes.
- Electrically conductive paper structure according to one of the clauses 1 to 4, wherein the electrically conductive thread for contacting the electrically conductive paper structure is a metal wire, a metal thread, a metal band, a on a carrier substrate such as a plastic film ba with a Metal-coated thread, a laminate of (plastic films and metal foils, a metal mesh, a plait, a knit or a Lahn tape. 6.
- Electrically conductive paper structure according to one of clauses 1 to 5 the paper structure on a single Paper layer is based in which the electrically conductive thread for contacting the electrically conductive paper structure is embedded. 7.
- the electrically conductive thread for contacting the electrically conductive paper structure is completely embedded in the paper structure, so that the thread is not visible to the viewer from the front or from the back;
- the thread is embedded in the paper structure that the thread in the paper structure is freely accessible on one side;
- the thread is embedded in the paper structure in such a way that the surface of the thread is partially exposed at least at one point on the paper structure.
- Electrically conductive paper structure consisting essentially of cellulose-containing fibers, characterized in that a continuous, electrically conductive thread for contacting the paper structure from one end to the opposite end of the paper structure is embedded in the paper structure, wherein the thread is embedded in the structure of the paper in such a way that the thread is in several places of the Paper structure is partially exposed on its surface, the paper structure being printed with a conductive pattern of conductor tracks so that the contacting of the conductive pattern with the thread embedded in the paper structure takes place via the points at which the thread is partially exposed.
- Electrically conductive paper structure according to Clause 15, two or more continuous, electrically conductive threads for contacting the paper structure being embedded in the paper structure from one end to the opposite end of the paper structure, the threads being embedded in the paper structure, that each thread is partially exposed on its surface at several points of the paper structure, the paper structure being printed with a conductive pattern of conductor tracks in such a way that the conductive pattern is contacted with the threads embedded in the paper structure via the points at which the threads are partially expose.
- the present invention is based on the idea of providing an electrically conductive paper structure with improved contacting in analogy to a security thread introduced into bank note paper by embedding continuous, electrically conductive contact threads in the electrically conductive paper structure.
- the electrically conductive paper structure is thus from one end to the opposite end of the continuous, conductive contact threads. This enables easy contacting of the electrically conductive paper structure at the ends of the contact threads and, through the introduction of the contact threads over the entire surface of the paper structure, provides a local power supply for all areas of the paper structure.
- the electrically conductive paper structure expediently contains a plurality of continuous, electrically conductive threads for contacting the electrically conductive paper structure, each of which is embedded from one end to the opposite end of the paper structure, the majority preferably having a value in the range from two to eight, further preferably a value in the range from two to six and in particular before given the value two.
- the electrically conductive paper structure according to the invention can be produced, for example, by means of conventional cylinder mold technology. In this way it is basically possible to process varying fiber compositions. It is useful to mix conductive, metallic short-cut fibers with the cellulose-containing fibers.
- the short cut metallic fibers typically have a fiber length in the range from 3 to 12 mm.
- the amount in which the conductive, metallic short-cut fibers are added is expediently chosen so that there are sufficient fiber-to-fiber contacts and thus a suitable electrical current flow is ensured.
- the electrically conductive paper structure can contain other natural and / or synthetic fiber materials, optionally chemical additives and optionally residual moisture.
- the electrical conductivity can not only be achieved by conductive, metallic fibers, in particular short-cut metallic fibers, but also by adding Carbon fibers, carbon particles or carbon-N anotubes achieved who the.
- the cylinder mold technology makes it possible to embed a continuous, conductive thread in the core of the electrically conductive paper structure, so that the electrically conductive paper structure is permeated with the continuous, conductive thread from one end to the opposite end.
- the continuous, conductive thread embedded in the electrically conductive paper structure in this way thus represents a contact thread.
- the term "contact thread” is to be understood here as a thread for contacting the electrically conductive paper structure, which is located within the electrically conductive paper structure in many places directly is conductively connected to the conductive, metallic (short cut) fibers, carbon fibers, carbon particles and / or carbon nanotubes contained therein.
- the contact thread embedded in the electrically conductive paper structure according to its arrangement in the paper is a banknote pa
- a continuous, conductive thread is introduced into the electrically conductive paper structure, but a plurality of continuous, conductive threads are advantageously introduced into the electrically conductive paper structure possible, on the one hand, a slight contact at the ends of the threads and, on the other hand, through their introduction over the entire surface of the electrically conductive paper structure, a local power supply for all areas.
- the contact threads thus fulfill a double function in a particularly advantageous manner.
- the inven tion, provided with contact threads, electrically conductive paper structure is also characterized by its robustness and long-term resistance.
- the cellulose-containing fibers that can be used for the electrically conductive paper structure according to the invention can be selected, for example, from fibers of natural origin or from synthetic fibers.
- Cellulosic fibrous materials of natural origin include, for example, wood fibers, semi-pulps, thermomechanical pulp, cotton fibers, chemically disrupted cellulose such as sulfate or sulfite pulp, wood pulp, chemically modified wood pulp, recycled fiber materials and combinations of two or more of the above-mentioned elements.
- the cellulose-containing fibers are conductive materials, in particular conductive fibers, such as metallic (short-cut) fibers, graphitized carbon fibers (also simply referred to herein as "carbon fibers") or metallized plastic fibers, and / or conductive particles such as carbon particles, carbon -Nanotubes or fullerenes.
- metallic short-cut fibers such as metallic (short-cut) fibers, graphitized carbon fibers (also simply referred to herein as "carbon fibers”) or metallized plastic fibers, and / or conductive particles such as carbon particles, carbon -Nanotubes or fullerenes.
- the proportion of metallic short-cut fibers that are added with respect to the cellulosic fibrous materials can vary, depending on the application, in particular in a range from a few percent by weight (% by weight) to 50% by weight or more It is expedient to add so many conductive fibers that the so-called percolation threshold is exceeded in order to ensure sufficient conductivity. Accordingly,
- carbon fibers in particular, can be admixed with the cellulosic fibrous materials as conductive materials.
- Carbon fibers are preferably industrially produced fibers that are formed from carbon-containing material and are converted into a graphite-like carbon arrangement, for example by pyrolysis. Such fibers can be produced isotropically or anisotropically and usually have one Diameter in a range from 5 mhi to 8 gm. During processing, these individual fibers are combined into bundles (rovings) with 1000 to 400,000 individual fibers and can then be further processed. Carbon fibers have good electrical and thermal conductivity.
- carbon fibers are understood to be fibers from a group comprising high-strength carbon fibers, high-strength carbon fibers and / or high-strength carbon fibers.
- the carbon fibers which can be used according to the invention can have a preferred length distribution or a corresponding focus, which is preferably in a range from 1 gm to 50,000 gm, for example in a range from 8,000 gm to 50,000 gm, in particular in a range from 1 gm to 8000 gm and particularly preferably in a range from 5000 gm to 8000 gm.
- This length distribution is advantageous when using primary carbon fibers as well as with recycled carbon fibers, as the corresponding carbon fibers can be mixed well and especially homogeneously with the other cellulosic fibers of the stable mix to produce the paper structure.
- the aim here is, in particular, to ensure the most homogeneous possible distribution of the at least two fiber constituents both in the suspension for producing a paper structure and in the paper structure itself.
- the proportion of carbon fibers in the paper structure (under controlled climatic conditions of 23 ° C. and 50% relative humidity) is greater than 35% by weight.
- the specific resistance of the paper structure thus formed may decrease and the conductivity of the paper thus formed increases.
- the advantages of an increased proportion of carbon fibers in the paper structure include improved conductivity, the reduction in electrical resistance in the sheet or paper structure and the associated higher power consumption.
- the increased use of carbon fibers can be achieved through the selected fiber length distribution of the carbon fibers and / or the combination with the paper pulp. This can be, for example, cotton fiber, which is specifically fibrillated by targeted grinding (Dutch grinding) and can thus provide a particularly high strength potential for the paper structure to be produced.
- the specific resistance of the paper structure according to the invention is, for example, in the range from IO 2 Om to IO 5 Om.
- Chemical additives can optionally be added to the electrically conductive paper structure according to the invention, which are selected, for example, from a group which includes retention aids, drainage aids, retention aid dual systems or microparticle systems, wet and dry strength agents, sizing agents, fillers and / or pigments, in particular a group of talc, titanium dioxide, aluminum hydroxide, bentonite, barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, kaolin selected, defoamers, deaerators, biocides, enzymes, bleaching aids, optical brighteners, dyes, shading dyes, contaminant scavengers, precipitants (fixatives), wetting agents, pH regulators .

- the paper structure according to the invention has a basis weight in accordance with DIN EN ISO 536, which is in a range from 15 g / m 2 to 1000 g / m 2 , preferably in a range from 20 g / m 2 to 300 g / m 2 .
- the paper structure according to the invention also has, for example, a power consumption which is in the range from 50 W / m 2 to 5000 W / m 2 .
- a temperature in the range from 15 ° C to 130 ° C, for example, can be achieved on the surface of the paper structure.
- the electrically conductive paper structure according to the invention can be provided with additional reinforcing fibers to control the desired properties. Surface sizing or surface impregnation is also possible.
- contact threads different designs are conceivable. It is important in all designs that contact with the conductive components located in the paper structure, in particular metallic fibers and / or carbon fibers, is ensured.
- a metallic thread for example made of rolled metal, can be used as the contact thread
- Metal tape or a metal wire can be used, the metal being selected in particular from a highly conductive metal such as silver, copper, gold, aluminum, tungsten, iron or the like or an alloy of one or more of the aforementioned elements.
- a metallized thread is also possible, for example the use of a thread metallized on a plastic carrier film as the carrier substrate and with a highly conductive metal such as silver, copper, gold, aluminum, tungsten, iron or the like.
- a highly conductive metal such as silver, copper, gold, aluminum, tungsten, iron or the like.
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- a metallized foil or a laminate of foils and rolled metal foils can be used as the contact thread.
- ZIF Zero Insertion Force
- metallized threads of this type can additionally be equipped, at least on one side, with an adhesive, which is advantageously a conductive adhesive. Furthermore, it is possible that the contact thread embedded in the electrically conductive paper structure is partially exposed in the area of the contacting point, as is the case with so-called window threads in the banknote area.
- the contact threads can additionally be provided with a protective layer or protective film on the upper side, which as required in the contacting area, i.e. in the pane, is removed.
- contact thread is not necessarily limited to the sole Ausgestal device as a (rather narrow) thread, for example, a width of 2 mm or less, but configurations such as (rather wide) strips or bands are also conceivable, which have a width of 4 mm to 20 mm, or even a width of up to 30 mm, for example.
- a simple conductive metal wire or a metal mesh is used as the contact thread.
- Variants such as flat strands, plaited braids, knitted fabrics, lath strips and the like are also possible.
- the thickness of the contact thread can be selected, for example, in a range from 10 to 300 mih, preferably in a range from 10 to 200 mih, more preferably in a range from 10 to 100 mih and particularly preferably in a range from 10 to 50 mih.
- the electrically conductive paper structure according to the invention can additionally be printed with a conductive pattern of conductor tracks in order to reduce the distances between two (or a plurality of greater than two) contact threads serving as electrodes in this way.
- the printing ie the provision of the printed conductor tracks, can take place, for example, by means of a screen printing process.
- Water-based screen printing inks based on soot particles, silver particles or other particles that create conductivity can be used as conductive paints that generate the conductive pattern.
- the conductive pattern of printed conductor tracks is expediently produced in such a pattern that the distances between two of the two electrodes are approximately similar in all areas.
- the contacting of the conductive pattern with the contact threads embedded in the substrate can take place according to a preferred variant in such a way that the contacting takes place via the points (so-called thread windows) at which the contact threads are partially exposed.
- the measure of additional printing with a conductive pattern has the effect that the product can be operated as a conductive surface element with relatively low voltages. Due to the reduced distance between two electrodes with a lower number of conductive fibers in the substrate, the current required for the respective application, e.g. heating, can be achieved. Alternatively, with the same number of conductive fibers in the substrate, a desired current can be achieved with a lower voltage.
- the percolation threshold can even be reduced.
- the latter describes the minimum proportion of conductive fibers that are required to achieve a continuously conductive fiber network between two contact threads that serve as electrodes and thus a relevant current flow. This results in a cost saving in terms of the cost-intensive conductive fibers.
- a lower operating voltage also reduces the work involved, for example for the control electronics, and increases work safety.
- the present invention further comprises a method for producing an electrically conductive paper structure.
- the method used for this is a cylinder mold technology which is known from the field of manufacturing banknote paper, see, for example, EP 0 279 880 A1 and EP 0 492 407 A1.
- the thread is introduced into the pulp and brought to the sieve in such a way that the thread is embedded in the fiber structure during sheet formation.
- the thread can be completely embedded in the structure of the paper so that the thread is not visible to the observer from the front or the back.
- the thread can also be embedded in such a way that it is freely accessible on one side after it has been embedded in the paper structure.
- window security threads is known in the field of manufacturing banknote paper, see, for example, EP 0 059 056 A1.
- the thread is brought up to the paper sieve outside the pulp in such a way that the thread comes to rest on raised areas (or bumps) that are applied to the paper sieve. At the points where the thread rests on the bumps, no paper can form on the side facing the sieve, so that the thread is freely accessible precisely at these points in the later finished paper.
- the method for producing the electrically conductive paper structure according to the invention can also be carried out in that the paper structure is composed of two separate paper layers and the thread is arranged between these paper webs.
- Such a production is known from the production of banknote paper with embedded security thread, see e.g. EP 0 229 645 A1.

- electrically conductive material in particular electrically conductive fibers such as carbon fibers.
- the drainage takes place by draining the water into the inside of the cylinder mold.
- the invention also includes the use of the electrically conductive paper structure as a heating element, in particular as a heating element in floors, walls, wallpaper, containers, fabrics, clothing, table tops, heating plates, heating mats, car interior heaters, in particular door, seat or dashboard heating , use for electromagnetic shielding and use as an element for signal detection.

In this way, the distance between the two contact threads 22 and 23, which act as electrodes, is reduced.
- the contact threads 22 and 23 embedded in the electrically conductive paper structure 21 are freely accessible in the areas 24 and 25 where contact is made with the power source. With the signs "+" and In FIG. 8, the positive pole or negative pole of the power source is designated in each case.
- the contact threads 22 and 23, which are each embedded in the form of window threads in the paper structure 21, are also made in such a way that they are partially exposed on the surface (so-called thread windows) at several points (see e.g. the reference numbers 26 and 27) of the paper structure. .
- Contacting the contact threads 22 and 23 with the additionally printed conductive pattern 28 takes place via the thread window.
- the printing was carried out by means of a screen printing process.
- An aqueous screen printing ink based on silver particles was used as the conductive varnish that generates the conductive pattern 28.
- the conductive pattern 28 is expediently present in such a pattern that the distances between the two electrodes 22 and 23 are approximately similar in all areas.
- the measure of additional printing with the conductive pattern 28 has the effect that the product can be operated as a conductive surface element with relatively low voltages.
- Another embodiment (which does not fall within the scope of the appended claims), which is not illustrated in the figures, is directed to the fourth aspect of the invention described in clause 15 of the Summary of the Invention.
- the paper structure is similar to the paper structure shown in FIG. 8, the paper only having cellulosic fibrous materials, ie electrically conductive fibers are not present in this case.
