Description

本発明は、複合シート及びその製造方法   The present invention relates to a composite sheet and a method for producing the same

近年、炭素骨格を有し且つ形状異方性の高い物質として、黒鉛をその層面間で剥離し、層面(グラフェン)の重なりが数十層以下になるまで薄片化した薄片化黒鉛が注目されており、薄片化黒鉛は非常に大きな表面積を有するため、薄片化黒鉛の添加で各種機能が発現すると期待されている。   In recent years, exfoliated graphite, which has a carbon skeleton and has high shape anisotropy, has been attracted attention by exfoliating graphite between its layer surfaces and exfoliating until the layer surface (graphene) overlaps to several tens of layers or less. Since exfoliated graphite has a very large surface area, the addition of exfoliated graphite is expected to exhibit various functions.

又、従来から、高度なバリア性を有するバリア材が所望されており、種々検討がなされている。例えば、特許文献1には、プラスチック基材(I)上に、コーティング膜層(II)を設けた構成のガスバリア性フィルムにおいて、コーティング膜層(II)が、少なくとも下記の非水溶性樹脂微粒子(A)、金属酸化物(B)を含有し、コーティング膜層(II)が(B)金属酸化物を主とするマトリックスに、成分(A)が分散した構造となっているガスバリア性フィルムが開示されている。   Conventionally, a barrier material having a high barrier property has been desired, and various studies have been made. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses that in a gas barrier film having a coating film layer (II) provided on a plastic substrate (I), the coating film layer (II) has at least the following water-insoluble resin fine particles ( A) A gas barrier film containing a metal oxide (B) and having a structure in which the component (A) is dispersed in a matrix mainly composed of the metal oxide (B) in the coating film layer (II) is disclosed. Has been.

しかしながら、上記ガスバリア性フィルムは、コーティング膜によるものであり、ピンホールやクラックなどの欠陥が避けられず、そのためにガスバリア性が低下するという問題点を有している。   However, the gas barrier film is a coating film, and defects such as pinholes and cracks are unavoidable, so that the gas barrier property is lowered.

更に、特許文献2には、粘土のみ又は粘土と添加剤からなる膜を製造する方法であって、粘土が液体に分散した所定の固液比の粘土ペーストを作製し、この粘土ペーストを物体の表面に塗布し、これを乾燥し、剥離する粘土膜の製造方法が開示されている。   Furthermore, Patent Document 2 discloses a method for producing a film made of only clay or a clay and an additive, and a clay paste having a predetermined solid-liquid ratio in which clay is dispersed in a liquid is prepared. A method for producing a clay film that is applied to a surface, dried, and peeled is disclosed.

しかしながら、得られた粘度膜は、水素や酸素についてバリア性に優れているものの、水蒸気バリア性が低いという問題点を有する。   However, although the obtained viscosity film is excellent in barrier properties with respect to hydrogen and oxygen, it has a problem of low water vapor barrier properties.

本発明は、優れたガスバリア性及び水蒸気バリア性を有する複合シート及びその製造方法を提供する。   The present invention provides a composite sheet having excellent gas barrier properties and water vapor barrier properties and a method for producing the same.

本発明の複合シートは、黒鉛化合物を薄片化してなる薄片化黒鉛と層状珪酸塩とを含有しており、上記薄片化黒鉛と上記層状珪酸塩とが不規則に重なり合っていることを特徴とする。   The composite sheet of the present invention contains exfoliated graphite obtained by exfoliating a graphite compound and a layered silicate, and the exfoliated graphite and the layered silicate are irregularly overlapped. .

本発明において用いられる黒鉛化合物としては、黒鉛、黒鉛層間化合物の何れであってもよい。なお、黒鉛に官能基が化学的に結合してしても、或いは、黒鉛に官能基が弱い相互作用により疑似的に結合していてもよい。   The graphite compound used in the present invention may be any of graphite and graphite intercalation compounds. Note that a functional group may be chemically bonded to graphite, or a functional group may be artificially bonded to graphite due to weak interaction.

黒鉛としては、粒子全体で単一の多層構造を有する黒鉛が好ましく、例えば、天然黒鉛、キッシュ黒鉛、高配向性熱分解黒鉛などが挙げられる。天然黒鉛とキッシュ黒鉛は、各層面(基本層)が略単一の方位を有する単独の結晶であり、高配向性熱分解黒鉛の各層面(基本層)は異なる方位を有する多数の小さな化粧の集合体である。   As the graphite, graphite having a single multilayer structure as a whole is preferable, and examples thereof include natural graphite, quiche graphite, and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. Natural graphite and quiche graphite are single crystals in which each layer surface (basic layer) has a substantially single orientation, and each layer surface (basic layer) of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite has a number of small makeups having different orientations. It is an aggregate.

黒鉛層間化合物は、上記黒鉛の層面間にインターカレーターを挿入することによって形成されている。黒鉛層間化合物における黒鉛の層面間に挿入されるインターカレーターとしては、特に限定されず、例えば、酸、酸化剤、金属、金属塩、気体、ハロゲン化合物などが挙げられ、高圧条件を用いることなく黒鉛層間化合物を生成することができるので、酸と酸化剤との混合物が好ましい。インターカレーターは単独で用いられても二種以上が併用されてもよい。   The graphite intercalation compound is formed by inserting an intercalator between the graphite layer surfaces. The intercalator inserted between the graphite layer surfaces in the graphite intercalation compound is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include acids, oxidants, metals, metal salts, gases, halogen compounds, and the like, without using high-pressure conditions. Since an intercalation compound can be formed, a mixture of an acid and an oxidizing agent is preferred. An intercalator may be used independently or 2 or more types may be used together.

酸としては、例えば、硝酸、塩酸、硫酸、カルボン酸、クロム酸、リン酸、ヨウ素酸などが挙げられる。酸化剤としては、例えば、硝酸カリウム、硝酸セリウムアンモニウム、過塩素酸、過マンガン酸塩などが挙げられる。金属としては、例えば、カリウム、ナトリウムなどが挙げられる。金属塩としては、例えば、塩化ナトリウム、塩化カリウム、硫酸銅、酢酸ナトリウムなどが挙げられる。気体としては、例えば、水素などが挙げられる。ハロゲン化合物としては、例えば、塩化ヨウ素、塩化臭素、臭化ヨウ素、フッ化ヨウ素、フッ化臭素、フッ化塩素、フッ素、塩素、塩化アルミニウムなどが挙げられる。   Examples of the acid include nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, carboxylic acid, chromic acid, phosphoric acid, iodic acid and the like. Examples of the oxidizing agent include potassium nitrate, cerium ammonium nitrate, perchloric acid, permanganate and the like. Examples of the metal include potassium and sodium. Examples of the metal salt include sodium chloride, potassium chloride, copper sulfate, sodium acetate and the like. Examples of the gas include hydrogen. Examples of the halogen compound include iodine chloride, bromine chloride, iodine bromide, iodine fluoride, bromine fluoride, chlorine fluoride, fluorine, chlorine, and aluminum chloride.

黒鉛の層面間にインターカレーターを挿入して黒鉛層間化合物を製造する方法としては、公知の方法を採用することができ、例えば、黒鉛をインターカレーターの溶液に分散させて、分散液中において黒鉛とインターカレーターとを反応させて黒鉛層間化合物を製造する方法、黒鉛と気体状のインターカレーターとを高圧下にて反応させて黒鉛層間化合物を製造する方法、酸化剤を用いてHummers−Offeman法によって黒鉛層間化合物を製造する方法などが挙げられ、酸化剤を用いてHummers−Offeman法によって黒鉛層間化合物を製造する方法が好ましい。   As a method for producing a graphite intercalation compound by inserting an intercalator between graphite layer surfaces, a known method can be adopted. For example, graphite is dispersed in an intercalator solution, and graphite and A method for producing a graphite intercalation compound by reacting with an intercalator, a method for producing a graphite intercalation compound by reacting graphite and a gaseous intercalator under high pressure, and a graphite by a Hummers-Offeman method using an oxidizing agent. The method of manufacturing an intercalation compound etc. are mentioned, The method of manufacturing a graphite intercalation compound by the Hummers-Offeman method using an oxidizing agent is preferred.

上述の要領で製造された黒鉛層間化合物に薄層化処理を施して原料黒鉛よりも薄層化させておくことが好ましい。黒鉛層間化合物に施す薄層化処理としては、例えば、黒鉛層間化合物にマイクロ波又は超音波を照射する方法、黒鉛層間化合物に物理的に応力を加えて黒鉛層間化合物を粉砕する方法などが挙げられる。   It is preferable to apply a thinning treatment to the graphite intercalation compound produced as described above to make it thinner than the raw material graphite. Examples of the thinning treatment applied to the graphite intercalation compound include a method of irradiating the graphite intercalation compound with microwaves or ultrasonic waves, and a method of physically applying stress to the graphite intercalation compound to pulverize the graphite intercalation compound. .

黒鉛化合物において、レーザー光回折法により粒度分布を測定した場合に50%体積平均径として得られる値は、小さいと、黒鉛化合物を薄片化して得られる薄片化黒鉛において異方性が得られないことがあり、大きいと、黒鉛化合物の層面間に五員環を含有する環状化合物が侵入しにくくなり、黒鉛化合物の薄片化が進行しにくいことがあるので、0.1〜50μmが好ましい。   In graphite compounds, when the particle size distribution is measured by the laser diffraction method, the value obtained as the 50% volume average diameter is small, and anisotropy cannot be obtained in exfoliated graphite obtained by exfoliating graphite compounds. If it is large, a cyclic compound containing a five-membered ring does not easily enter between the layer surfaces of the graphite compound, and the flaking of the graphite compound may not easily proceed, so 0.1 to 50 μm is preferable.

なお、レーザー光回折法により粒度分布を測定した場合に50%体積平均径として得られる値が20μm未満である黒鉛化合物は、例えば、SECカーボン社から商品名「SNO−15」などのSNOシリーズにて、中越黒鉛工業所から商品名「CX−3000」にて、伊藤黒鉛社からCNP−シリーズにて、XGSience社から商品名「XGnP−5」にて市販されている。   In addition, when the particle size distribution is measured by a laser light diffraction method, a graphite compound having a value obtained as a 50% volume average diameter of less than 20 μm is, for example, an SNO series such as a trade name “SNO-15” from SEC Carbon. These products are commercially available from Chuetsu Graphite Industries Co., Ltd. under the trade name “CX-3000”, from Ito Graphite Co. in the CNP-series, and from XGSience Corporation under the trade name “XGnP-5”.

次に、黒鉛化合物を薄片化する方法としては、黒鉛化合物を構成している層面を剥離させて薄片化黒鉛とすることができれば、特に限定されず、例えば、(1)黒鉛化合物と、一級アミン、ヒドラジン及びアンモニアからなる群から選ばれた少なくとも一種の窒素化合物と、水とを混合してpHが10〜14である混合液とし、上記黒鉛化合物を薄片化する薄片化黒鉛の製造方法、(2)黒鉛化合物と五員環を含有する環状化合物とを含む被処理液を振とうさせて、上記黒鉛化合物を薄片化する薄片化黒鉛の製造方法、(3)黒鉛化合物とアルカリ金属の水酸化物と水とを混合してpHが7〜10である混合液とし、上記黒鉛化合物を薄片化する薄片化黒鉛の製造方法などが挙げられる。   Next, the method of exfoliating the graphite compound is not particularly limited as long as the layer surface constituting the graphite compound can be peeled to obtain exfoliated graphite. For example, (1) a graphite compound and a primary amine , A method for producing exfoliated graphite, wherein at least one nitrogen compound selected from the group consisting of hydrazine and ammonia and water are mixed to form a mixed solution having a pH of 10 to 14, and the graphite compound is exfoliated, 2) A method for producing exfoliated graphite in which a liquid to be treated containing a graphite compound and a cyclic compound containing a five-membered ring is shaken to exfoliate the graphite compound, and (3) hydroxylation of the graphite compound and alkali metal. Examples include a method for producing exfoliated graphite, in which a product and water are mixed to obtain a mixed solution having a pH of 7 to 10, and the graphite compound is exfoliated.

上記(1)の薄片化黒鉛の製造方法を説明する。窒素化合物としては、一級アミン、ヒドラジン及びアンモニアからなる群から選ばれた少なくとも一種の窒素化合物が用いられる。一級アミンとしては、例えば、メチルアミン、エタノールアミンなどが挙げられる。なお、窒素化合物は、単独で用いられても二種以上が併用されてもよい。   The method for producing exfoliated graphite (1) above will be described. As the nitrogen compound, at least one nitrogen compound selected from the group consisting of primary amine, hydrazine and ammonia is used. Examples of the primary amine include methylamine and ethanolamine. In addition, a nitrogen compound may be used independently or 2 or more types may be used together.

黒鉛化合物と窒素化合物と水とを混合して混合液を作製する方法としては、特に限定されず、例えば、黒鉛化合物を水に分散させて黒鉛化合物分散液を作製すると共に、窒素化合物を水に溶解させて窒素化合物水溶液を作製し、黒鉛化合物分散液と窒素化合物水溶液とを均一に混合して混合液を作製する方法、窒素化合物を水に溶解させて窒素化合物水溶液を作製し、この窒素化合物水溶液に黒鉛化合物を添加して均一に混合して混合液を作製する方法などが挙げられる。   A method for preparing a mixed liquid by mixing a graphite compound, a nitrogen compound, and water is not particularly limited. For example, a graphite compound is dispersed in water to prepare a graphite compound dispersion, and the nitrogen compound is mixed in water. A method of dissolving a nitrogen compound aqueous solution to prepare a mixed liquid by uniformly mixing a graphite compound dispersion and a nitrogen compound aqueous solution, and dissolving the nitrogen compound in water to prepare a nitrogen compound aqueous solution. Examples thereof include a method in which a graphite compound is added to an aqueous solution and mixed uniformly to prepare a mixed solution.

黒鉛化合物と窒素化合物と水とを混合させて混合液を作製するにあたって、得られる混合液のpHが10〜14となるように黒鉛化合物と窒素化合物と水の混合割合を調整する必要がある。   In preparing a mixed solution by mixing a graphite compound, a nitrogen compound, and water, it is necessary to adjust the mixing ratio of the graphite compound, the nitrogen compound, and water so that the pH of the obtained mixed solution becomes 10-14.

混合液をpH10〜14に調整する理由は明確には解明されていないが、黒鉛化合物の層面間に窒素化合物を挿入させることによって、窒素化合物の有する非共有電子対間の静電反発力によって黒鉛化合物の対向する層面を互いが離間する方向に変位させることにより黒鉛化合物の層面間の間隔が拡がり、黒鉛化合物における層面間の剥離の進行を促進し黒鉛化合物を薄片化して薄片化黒鉛の製造を効率的に行うことができると考えている。そして、混合液をpHが10〜14となるように調整することによって、黒鉛化合物の層面間への窒素化合物の進入が容易となり、その結果、上述の作用によって黒鉛化合物の層面間における剥離が円滑に行われて黒鉛化合物を薄片化して薄片化黒鉛を効率良く製造できると考えられる。   The reason for adjusting the mixed solution to pH 10 to 14 is not clearly clarified, but by inserting a nitrogen compound between the layer surfaces of the graphite compound, the graphite repulsive force between the unshared electron pairs of the nitrogen compound is reduced. Displacement of the opposing layer surfaces of the compound in the direction away from each other widens the spacing between the layer surfaces of the graphite compound, promotes the progress of delamination between the layer surfaces of the graphite compound, and exfoliates the graphite compound to produce exfoliated graphite. I think it can be done efficiently. Then, by adjusting the mixed solution so that the pH is 10 to 14, the nitrogen compound can easily enter between the layer surfaces of the graphite compound, and as a result, the peeling between the layer surfaces of the graphite compound is smooth due to the above-described action. It is considered that the exfoliated graphite can be efficiently produced by flaking the graphite compound.

上述のように、黒鉛化合物と窒素化合物と水とを混合させてpHが10〜14の混合液を製造した後、この混合液を静置することによって黒鉛化合物の層面間における剥離を進行させ、黒鉛化合物を薄片化させて得られる薄片化黒鉛が水中に安定的に分散してなる薄片化黒鉛分散液を得ることができる。   As described above, a graphite compound, a nitrogen compound, and water are mixed to produce a mixed solution having a pH of 10 to 14, and then the separation between the layer surfaces of the graphite compound proceeds by allowing the mixed solution to stand, An exfoliated graphite dispersion liquid in which exfoliated graphite obtained by exfoliating a graphite compound is stably dispersed in water can be obtained.

次に、上記(2)の薄片化黒鉛の製造方法を説明する。先ず、上記黒鉛化合物と五員環を含有する環状化合物とを含有する被処理液を用意する。五員環を含有する環状化合物としては、特に限定されず、例えば、テトラヒドロフラン、N−メチルピロリドン、ピロール、チオフェン、イミダゾール、ピラゾール、チアゾール又はこれらの誘導体が挙げられ、テトラヒドロフラン、N−メチルピロリドンが好ましい。なお、五員環を含有する環状化合物は単独で用いられても二種以上が併用されてもよい。   Next, the manufacturing method of the exfoliated graphite of said (2) is demonstrated. First, a liquid to be treated containing the graphite compound and a cyclic compound containing a five-membered ring is prepared. The cyclic compound containing a five-membered ring is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include tetrahydrofuran, N-methylpyrrolidone, pyrrole, thiophene, imidazole, pyrazole, thiazole or derivatives thereof, and tetrahydrofuran and N-methylpyrrolidone are preferable. . In addition, the cyclic compound containing a 5-membered ring may be used independently, or 2 or more types may be used together.

五員環を含有する環状化合物が官能基を有している場合、官能基の炭素数は、大きいと、黒鉛化合物の層面間に五員環を含有する環状化合物が進入しにくくなり、黒鉛化合物の薄片化が進みにくくなることがあるので、4以下が好ましい。   When the cyclic compound containing a five-membered ring has a functional group, if the carbon number of the functional group is large, the cyclic compound containing the five-membered ring is difficult to enter between the layer surfaces of the graphite compound, and the graphite compound Is preferably 4 or less, because it may be difficult to proceed with thinning.

被処理液中における黒鉛化合物と五員環を有する環式化合物との含有割合は、黒鉛化合物が少ないと、黒鉛化合物に対して多量の溶媒を使用することとなり、環境負荷が大きくなることがあり、黒鉛化合物が多いと、黒鉛化合物の層面間に五員環を有する環式化合物が進入しにくくなることがあるので、黒鉛化合物100重量部に対して五員環を含有する環状化合物100〜100万重量部が好ましく、1000〜10万重量部がより好ましい。   The content ratio of the graphite compound and the cyclic compound having a five-membered ring in the liquid to be treated is such that if the graphite compound is small, a large amount of solvent is used for the graphite compound, which may increase the environmental load. If the graphite compound is large, a cyclic compound having a five-membered ring may not easily enter between the graphite compound layer surfaces. Therefore, the cyclic compounds 100 to 100 containing a five-membered ring with respect to 100 parts by weight of the graphite compound. 10,000 parts by weight is preferable, and 1,000 to 100,000 parts by weight is more preferable.

黒鉛化合物と五員環を含有する環状化合物とを含有する被処理液を作製する方法としては、特に限定されず、例えば、黒鉛化合物を入れた容器内に五員環を含有する環状化合物を供給してもよいし、五員環を含有する環状化合物中に黒鉛化合物を供給してもよい。   A method for preparing a liquid to be treated containing a graphite compound and a cyclic compound containing a five-membered ring is not particularly limited. For example, a cyclic compound containing a five-membered ring is supplied into a container containing the graphite compound. Alternatively, the graphite compound may be supplied into a cyclic compound containing a five-membered ring.

そして、被処理液を振とうさせて黒鉛化合物を薄片化して、薄片化黒鉛が五員環を含有する環状化合物中に分散してなる薄片化黒鉛分散液を製造することができる。被処理液の振とう方法としては、特に限定されず、例えば、被処理液を入れた容器を手で上下方向又は左右方向に振ることによって容器内の被処理液を振とうする方法、被処理液を入れた容器を振とう装置に配設して容器を振とうさせて容器内の被処理液を振とうする方法などが挙げられる。   And a to-be-processed liquid is shaken, and a graphite compound is exfoliated, The exfoliated graphite dispersion liquid in which exfoliated graphite disperse | distributes in the cyclic compound containing a 5-membered ring can be manufactured. The method for shaking the liquid to be treated is not particularly limited. For example, a method for shaking the liquid to be treated in the container by shaking the container containing the liquid to be treated in the vertical direction or the left-right direction by hand. Examples include a method in which a container containing a liquid is disposed in a shaking device and the container is shaken to shake the liquid to be treated in the container.

このように、被処理液を振とうすることによって黒鉛化合物が薄片化されて、薄片化黒鉛が五員環を含有する環状化合物中に分散してなる薄片化黒鉛分散液が得られる理由は明確には解明されていないが、黒鉛化合物が黒鉛である場合には以下のように推察される。五員環を有する環式化合物は、黒鉛化合物と分子構造が類似しているため、黒鉛化合物の層面間に進入し易く、五員環を含有する環状化合物が黒鉛の層面間に進入することによって、互いに隣接する層面間に働いているファンデルワールス結合を切断することができ、その結果、黒鉛の層面間同士の剥離を容易にし、黒鉛の薄片化を進行させているものと考えられる。   Thus, it is clear why the exfoliated graphite dispersion liquid is obtained by exfoliating the graphite compound by shaking the liquid to be treated and dispersing the exfoliated graphite in a cyclic compound containing a five-membered ring. However, when the graphite compound is graphite, it is presumed as follows. Since a cyclic compound having a five-membered ring has a molecular structure similar to that of a graphite compound, it easily enters between the layer surfaces of the graphite compound, and a cyclic compound containing a five-membered ring enters between the layer surfaces of the graphite. It is considered that van der Waals bonds acting between adjacent layer surfaces can be cut, and as a result, the graphite layer surfaces can be easily separated from each other, and the graphite thinning is promoted.

又、黒鉛化合物が黒鉛層間化合物又は官能基を有する黒鉛である場合にも、インターカレーターが挿入されていない層面間や、官能基を有していない層面間において、上述の現象が生じる結果、黒鉛化合物の薄片化をより効率良く行うことができるものと考えられる。   Further, when the graphite compound is a graphite intercalation compound or a graphite having a functional group, the above phenomenon occurs as a result of the above phenomenon occurring between the layer surfaces in which no intercalator is inserted or between the layer surfaces having no functional group. It is considered that the compound can be thinned more efficiently.

続いて、上記(3)の薄片化黒鉛の製造方法を説明する。アルカリ金属の水酸化物としては、特に限定されず、例えば、水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化カリウム、水酸化リチウムなどが挙げられ、水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化カリウムが好ましい。なお、アルカリ金属の水酸化物は、単独で用いられても二種以上が併用されてもよい。   Then, the manufacturing method of the exfoliated graphite of said (3) is demonstrated. The alkali metal hydroxide is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and lithium hydroxide, and sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are preferable. The alkali metal hydroxides may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

黒鉛化合物とアルカリ金属の水酸化物と水とを混合して混合液を作製する方法としては、特に限定されず、例えば、黒鉛化合物を水に分散させて黒鉛化合物分散液を作製すると共に、アルカリ金属の水酸化物を水に溶解させてアルカリ金属の水酸化物水溶液を作製し、黒鉛化合物分散液とアルカリ金属の水酸化物水溶液とを均一に混合して混合液を作製する方法、アルカリ金属の水酸化物を水に溶解させてアルカリ金属の水酸化物水溶液を作製し、このアルカリ金属の水酸化物水溶液に黒鉛化合物を添加して均一に混合して混合液を作製する方法などが挙げられる。   A method of preparing a mixed liquid by mixing a graphite compound, an alkali metal hydroxide, and water is not particularly limited. For example, a graphite compound dispersion is prepared by dispersing a graphite compound in water, and an alkali is used. A method in which a metal hydroxide is dissolved in water to prepare an alkali metal hydroxide aqueous solution, and a graphite compound dispersion and an alkali metal hydroxide aqueous solution are uniformly mixed to prepare a mixed solution, alkali metal A method of preparing an aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydroxide by dissolving the hydroxide of water in water, adding a graphite compound to the aqueous solution of the alkali metal hydroxide and uniformly mixing the solution, etc. It is done.

黒鉛化合物とアルカリ金属の水酸化物と水とを混合させて混合液を作製するにあたって、得られる混合液のpHが7〜10となるように黒鉛化合物とアルカリ金属の水酸化物と水の混合割合を調整する。黒鉛化合物が黒鉛(黒鉛が官能基を有する場合を含む)である場合には、混合液のpHを8〜10に調整することが好ましい。   When preparing a mixed solution by mixing a graphite compound, an alkali metal hydroxide and water, mixing the graphite compound, the alkali metal hydroxide and water so that the pH of the resulting mixed solution is 7 to 10 Adjust the percentage. When the graphite compound is graphite (including the case where the graphite has a functional group), it is preferable to adjust the pH of the mixed solution to 8 to 10.

混合液をpH7〜10に調整する理由は明確には解明されていないが、アルカリ金属の水酸化物由来のアルカリ金属イオンが黒鉛化合物の層面間に進入し、アルカリ金属イオンの有する正電荷同士の反発力によって、黒鉛化合物の対向する層面を互いが離間する方向に変位させることにより黒鉛化合物の層面間の間隔が拡がり、黒鉛化合物における層面間の剥離の進行を促進し黒鉛化合物を薄片化して薄片化黒鉛の製造を効率的に行うことができると考えている。そして、分散液をpHが7〜10に調整することによって、黒鉛化合物の層面間へのアルカリ金属の水酸化物由来のアルカリ金属イオンの進入が容易となり、その結果、上述の作用によって黒鉛化合物の層面間における剥離が円滑に行われて黒鉛化合物を薄片化して薄片化黒鉛を効率良く製造できると考えられる。   The reason for adjusting the mixed solution to pH 7 to 10 is not clearly understood, but alkali metal ions derived from alkali metal hydroxide enter between the layer surfaces of the graphite compound, and the positive charges of the alkali metal ions are between each other. By repelling, the opposing layer surfaces of the graphite compound are displaced in a direction away from each other, thereby widening the spacing between the layer surfaces of the graphite compound, promoting the progress of delamination between the layer surfaces in the graphite compound, and flaking the graphite compound We believe that it is possible to efficiently produce graphite oxide. Then, by adjusting the pH of the dispersion to 7 to 10, it becomes easy for alkali metal ions derived from alkali metal hydroxide to enter between the layer surfaces of the graphite compound. It is considered that exfoliation between the layer surfaces is smoothly performed, and the graphite compound is exfoliated to efficiently produce exfoliated graphite.

上述のように、黒鉛化合物とアルカリ金属の水酸化物と水とを混合させてpHが7〜10の混合液を製造した後、この混合液を静置することによって黒鉛化合物の層面間における剥離を進行させ、黒鉛化合物を薄片化させて得られる薄片化黒鉛が水中に安定的に分散してなる薄片化黒鉛分散液を得ることができる。   As described above, a graphite compound, an alkali metal hydroxide, and water are mixed to produce a mixed liquid having a pH of 7 to 10, and then the mixed liquid is allowed to stand to peel off the graphite compound between the layer surfaces. To obtain a exfoliated graphite dispersion in which exfoliated graphite obtained by exfoliating a graphite compound is stably dispersed in water.

次に、薄片化黒鉛と層状珪酸塩とを分散媒体中に分散させた混合物分散液を作製する。薄片化黒鉛分散液から分離した薄片化黒鉛を用いる場合には、薄片化黒鉛と層状珪酸塩とを分散媒体中に分散させて混合物分散液を製造する。なお、分散媒体としては、薄片化黒鉛と層状珪酸塩とを分散させることができれば、特に限定されず、例えば、水、エチルアルコール、メチルアルコールなどのアルコール、酢酸エチル、トルエン、ジエチルケトン、ジエチルエーテル、テトラヒドロフラン(THF)、ジメチルホルムアミド(DMF)などの汎用の媒体が挙げられ、水、アルコール、テトラヒドロフランが好ましい。なお、分散媒体は、単独で用いられても二種以上が併用されてもよい。   Next, a mixture dispersion in which exfoliated graphite and layered silicate are dispersed in a dispersion medium is prepared. When exfoliated graphite separated from exfoliated graphite dispersion is used, exfoliated graphite and layered silicate are dispersed in a dispersion medium to produce a mixture dispersion. The dispersion medium is not particularly limited as long as exfoliated graphite and layered silicate can be dispersed. Examples thereof include water, alcohols such as ethyl alcohol and methyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, toluene, diethyl ketone, and diethyl ether. , Tetrahydrofuran (THF), dimethylformamide (DMF) and the like, and water, alcohol, and tetrahydrofuran are preferable. In addition, a dispersion medium may be used independently or 2 or more types may be used together.

混合物分散液の作製方法は、特に限定されず、例えば、薄片化黒鉛を分散媒体中に分散させてなる薄片化黒鉛分散液と、層状珪酸塩を分散媒体中に分散させてなる層状珪酸塩分散液とを混合することによって混合物分散液を製造する方法などが挙げられる。なお、混合物分散液中には、必要に応じてバンダーポリマー、分散助剤が含有されてもよい。   The method of preparing the mixture dispersion is not particularly limited.

混合物分散液中における薄片化黒鉛の含有量は、少ないと、得られる複合シートの水蒸気バリア性が低下し、多いと、相対的に層状珪酸塩の含有量が少なくなり、得られる複合シートの強度や成形性が低下するので、層状珪酸塩100重量部に対して5〜500重量部が好ましい。   If the content of exfoliated graphite in the mixture dispersion is small, the water vapor barrier property of the resulting composite sheet is lowered, and if it is large, the content of the layered silicate is relatively reduced, and the strength of the resulting composite sheet is reduced. And the moldability is reduced, so 5 to 500 parts by weight is preferable with respect to 100 parts by weight of the layered silicate.

更に、混合物分散液中における分散媒体の量は、少ないと、混合物分散液からの複合シートの製造が困難となることがあり、多いと、複合シートの強度が低下することがあるので、混合物分散液中、20〜98重量%が好ましい。   Furthermore, if the amount of the dispersion medium in the mixture dispersion is small, it may be difficult to produce a composite sheet from the mixture dispersion, and if it is large, the strength of the composite sheet may be reduced. 20 to 98 weight% is preferable in a liquid.

The method for producing the composite sheet by removing the dispersion medium from the mixture dispersion is not particularly limited.For example, after reducing the dispersion medium using a general-purpose method such as centrifugation or filtration from the mixture dispersion, A mixture containing exfoliated graphite and layered silicate is formed into a sheet on a support, and in this state, the dispersion medium contained in the mixture is removed and dried to obtain exfoliated graphite and layered silicate. A method for producing a composite sheet containing the composition, after applying a mixture dispersion on a support, removing the dispersion medium contained in the mixture containing exfoliated graphite and layered silicate, and drying, Examples thereof include a method for producing a composite sheet containing graphite oxide and layered silicate.

などのガスバリア性に優れている。
The composite sheet thus obtained is formed such that exfoliated graphite and layered silicate are irregularly overlapped with each other. And exfoliated graphite is hydrophobic and excellent in water vapor barrier properties, while layered silicate is excellent in gas barrier properties such as oxygen and hydrogen, although it is slightly inferior in water vapor barrier properties.

従って、複合シートは、上述のように、薄片化黒鉛と層状珪酸塩とが不規則に重なり合っていることから、薄片化黒鉛及び層状珪酸塩は、それぞれが有する優れたバリア性を発揮しつつ、互いの欠点を補完し合い、よって、複合シートは、薄片化黒鉛及び層状珪酸塩のそれぞれが有する優れたバリア性、即ち、優れたガスバリア性及び水蒸気バリア性の双方を備えている。   Therefore, as described above, since the exfoliated graphite and the layered silicate are irregularly overlapped as described above, the exfoliated graphite and the layered silicate exhibit excellent barrier properties that each has, Complementing each other's drawbacks, the composite sheet thus has both excellent barrier properties possessed by exfoliated graphite and layered silicate, that is, both excellent gas barrier properties and water vapor barrier properties.

本発明の複合シートは、黒鉛化合物を薄片化してなる薄片化黒鉛と層状珪酸塩とを含有しており、上記薄片化黒鉛と上記層状珪酸塩とが不規則に重なり合っているので、優れたガスバリア性及び水蒸気バリア性の双方を備えている。   The composite sheet of the present invention contains exfoliated graphite obtained by exfoliating a graphite compound and layered silicate, and the exfoliated graphite and the layered silicate are irregularly overlapped with each other, so that an excellent gas barrier is provided. And both water vapor barrier properties.

本発明の複合シートの製造方法は、黒鉛化合物を薄片化してなる薄片化黒鉛と層状珪酸塩とを分散媒体中に分散させてなる混合物分散液から水を除去してシート状に成形することを特徴とするので、優れたガスバリア性及び水蒸気バリア性を有する複合シートを容易に製造することができる。   The method for producing a composite sheet according to the present invention comprises forming a sheet by removing water from a mixture dispersion obtained by dispersing exfoliated graphite obtained by flaking a graphite compound and layered silicate in a dispersion medium. Since it is the characteristic, the composite sheet which has the outstanding gas barrier property and water vapor | steam barrier property can be manufactured easily.
