金属内にカーボンナノチューブを分散させた複合金属体が知られている。
特許文献1(特開2000−223004号)に示される複合金属体は、カーボンナノチューブと金属粉とを混合し、焼結してブロック状となしたものである。
A composite metal body in which carbon nanotubes are dispersed in a metal is known.
A composite metal body disclosed in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-220304) is obtained by mixing carbon nanotubes and metal powder and sintering them into a block shape.
また、特許文献2(特開2004−186102号)に示すように、複合金属体に用いるカーボンナノチューブとしてはある特定の種類のものを用いるのが一般的である。
しかしながら、上述した従来の技術のように特定の種類のカーボンナノチューブを混入させた複合金属体では、その電気伝導性や熱伝導性等の性能は混入させたカーボンナノチューブの性能に依存しているので、性能に限界があるという課題がある。 However, in the composite metal body in which a specific type of carbon nanotube is mixed as in the conventional technique described above, the performance such as electric conductivity and thermal conductivity depends on the performance of the mixed carbon nanotube. There is a problem that performance is limited.

It is to provide a manufacturing method .
本発明にかかる金属粒子の製造方法によれば、2種類以上のカーボンナノチューブを分散した電解液を電解して、カソード電極上に、カーボンナノチューブが混入した金属粒子を析出させる工程と、該析出した金属粒子をカソード電極上から分離する工程とを含むことを特徴とする。According to the method for producing metal particles according to the present invention, the step of electrolyzing an electrolytic solution in which two or more types of carbon nanotubes are dispersed to deposit metal particles mixed with carbon nanotubes on the cathode electrode, and the deposition Separating the metal particles from the cathode electrode.

なお、本明細書中においてはカーボンナノチューブをCNTと省略して称する場合がある。また、カーボンナノチューブの種類とは、構造的に違うもの、および同一構造であっても直径や線長さが異なるものを含めた概念である。In the present specification, the carbon nanotube may be abbreviated as CNT. Further, the type of carbon nanotube is a concept that includes structurally different ones and those that have the same structure but different diameters and line lengths.
また、前記カーボンナノチューブとしては、互いの直径比が5以上である少なくとも2種類のカーボンナノチューブを含むことを特徴としてもよく、前記カーボンナノチューブとしては、互いの線長さ比が2以上である少なくとも2種類のカーボンナノチューブを含むことを特徴としてもよい。The carbon nanotubes may include at least two types of carbon nanotubes having a diameter ratio of 5 or more. The carbon nanotubes have at least a line length ratio of 2 or more. Two types of carbon nanotubes may be included.
本発明によれば、従来の単一種類のカーボンナノチューブが混入した複合金属体よりも、電気伝導性や熱伝導性といった性能の向上を図ることができる。また2種類以上のカーボンナノチューブの相互作用により、さらなる性能の向上も期待できる。 According to the present invention, performances such as electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity can be improved as compared with the conventional composite metal body mixed with a single type of carbon nanotube. Further, further improvement in performance can be expected due to the interaction of two or more types of carbon nanotubes.
(複合金属体)
以下、本発明の好適な実施の形態について説明する。
複合金属体の概略説明図を図1に示す。
複合金属体10は、銅などの金属に2種類のカーボンナノチューブ(CNT)が混入して構成されている。
図1に示すCNTは、大径且つ線方向の長さが長いCNT12(以下、長大CNTと称する)と、小径且つ線方向の長さが短いCNT13(以下、短小CNTと称する)の2種類である。
このため、複合金属体10全体としては、長大CNT12の性能と短小CNTの性能の双方の性能を有することとなり、単一のCNTが混入した複合金属体と比較して高性能の金属材料とすることができる
(Composite metal)
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described.
A schematic illustration of the composite metal body is shown in FIG.
The composite metal body 10 is configured by mixing two types of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in a metal such as copper.
The CNTs shown in FIG. 1 are of two types: CNTs 12 having a large diameter and a long linear direction (hereinafter referred to as long CNTs) and CNTs 13 having a small diameter and a short length in the linear direction (hereinafter referred to as short CNTs). is there.
For this reason, the composite metal body 10 as a whole has both the performance of long CNTs 12 and the performance of short CNTs, and is a high-performance metal material compared to a composite metal body mixed with a single CNT. be able to
また、複合金属体10では、長大CNT12の間の金属マトリクス14中に、短小CNT13が介在する。このため、短小CNT13は、長大CNT12のどうしの間を接続し長大CNTのネットワークも形成する。このネットワークの形成によって、長大CNT12が本来有している性能をさらに上回る性能が引き出されることが期待される。 In the composite metal body 10, short and small CNTs 13 are interposed in the metal matrix 14 between the long and large CNTs 12. For this reason, the short CNTs 13 connect the long CNTs 12 to form a network of long CNTs. With the formation of this network, it is expected that performance that exceeds the performance inherent in the long CNT 12 will be derived.
なお、ここでは複合金属体に混入されているCNTの種類として、直径や長さの違いによるものを例として説明したが、種類の違いとしては直径や長さの違いに限られることはなく、構造の違いであってもよい。例えば年輪状のCNT、シングルウォールCNT、カップスタック状のCNT等の形状が異なるCNTを複数種類混入させたものであってもよい。
また、CNTは2種類に限定されることはなく、2種類以上混入されていればよい。
In addition, here, as a type of CNT mixed in the composite metal body, as described as an example due to the difference in diameter and length, the difference in type is not limited to the difference in diameter and length, It may be a difference in structure. For example, a plurality of CNTs having different shapes such as annual ring-shaped CNT, single-wall CNT, and cup-stacked CNT may be mixed.
Moreover, CNT is not limited to two types, What is necessary is just to mix two or more types.
(複合金属体の製造方法)
上述したような、2種類以上のCNTが混入された複合金属体を製造する製造方法について説明する。製造方法については、いくつかの方法が考えられる。
(Production method of composite metal body)
A manufacturing method for manufacturing a composite metal body mixed with two or more kinds of CNTs as described above will be described. Several methods can be considered for the manufacturing method.
(製造方法1)
図2に複合金属体の製造方法1について示す。
まず、2種類以上のCNTと、金属粉とを混合する(ステップS100)。
次に、2種類以上のCNTと金属粉とを混合して成る混合物を所定の型に充填して成形する(ステップS102)。
成形した成形物を焼成または溶融する(ステップS104)。これにより、金属粉が結着し、2種類以上のCNTが混入した複合金属体を得ることができる。
(Manufacturing method 1)
FIG. 2 shows a method 1 for producing a composite metal body.
First, two or more types of CNT and metal powder are mixed (step S100).
Next, a mixture obtained by mixing two or more types of CNTs and metal powder is filled into a predetermined mold and molded (step S102).
The molded product is fired or melted (step S104). Thereby, the metal powder is bound and a composite metal body in which two or more kinds of CNTs are mixed can be obtained.
場合によっては、2種類以上のCNTと金属粉に加え、ステップS100においてバインダーを混合させてもよい。バインダーを用いることにより、ステップS102の成形時にCNTと金属粉との間の隙間を十分に埋めることができる。
バインダーとしては、樹脂バインダーまたは金属バインダーを用いることができる。樹脂バインダーを用いた場合には、ステップS104の焼成または溶融時に樹脂バインダーは飛散して消失する。
In some cases, a binder may be mixed in step S100 in addition to two or more types of CNT and metal powder. By using the binder, the gap between the CNT and the metal powder can be sufficiently filled at the time of molding in step S102.
As the binder, a resin binder or a metal binder can be used. When a resin binder is used, the resin binder scatters and disappears during firing or melting in step S104.
(製造方法2)
図3に複合金属体の製造方法2について示す。
この方法によれば、2種類以上のCNTを用意しておき、これと溶融した金属とを混合させる(ステップS200)だけで、複合金属体を得ることができる。
ただし、この方法によればCNTをどのようにして均一に分散させるかが課題になると考えられる。
(Manufacturing method 2)
FIG. 3 shows a method 2 for producing a composite metal body.
According to this method, a composite metal body can be obtained simply by preparing two or more types of CNTs and mixing them with molten metal (step S200).
However, according to this method, it is considered how to uniformly disperse CNTs.
(製造方法3)
図4に複合金属体の製造方法3について示す。
本方法は、2種類以上のCNTで修飾された金属粒子を用いて複合金属体を得る方法である。

この方法によれば、CNTが均一に行き渡った複合金属体を製造できる。
なお、2種類以上のCNTで修飾された金属粒子の製造方法については、後述する。
(Manufacturing method 3)
FIG. 4 shows a method 3 for producing a composite metal body.
This method is a method of obtaining a composite metal body using metal particles modified with two or more types of CNTs.
First, metal particles modified with two or more types of CNTs are filled into a predetermined mold and molded (step S300).
Next, the molded product is fired or melted (step S302). Thereby, the metal particle is bound and a composite metal body in which two or more kinds of CNTs are mixed can be obtained.
According to this method, a composite metal body in which CNTs are uniformly distributed can be manufactured.
A method for producing metal particles modified with two or more types of CNTs will be described later.
(製造方法4)
図5に複合金属体の製造方法4について示す。
まず、1種類のCNTで修飾された金属粒子と、該金属粒子とは異なる種類のCNTで修飾された金属粒子とを混合する(ステップS400)。
次に、金属粒子が混合されて成る混合物を所定の型に充填して成形する(ステップS402)。

Next, the mixture obtained by mixing the metal particles is filled into a predetermined mold and molded (step S402).
The molded product is fired or melted (step S404). Thus, a composite metal body in which two or more kinds of CNTs are mixed can be obtained.
This method can also produce a composite metal body in which CNTs are uniformly distributed.
(金属粒子およびその製造方法)
上述した複合金属体の製造方法3と製造方法4では、CNTが修飾された金属粒子を用いて複合金属体を製造することを説明したが、以下に2種類以上のCNTで修飾された金属粒子とその製造方法について説明する。
なお、単一種類のCNTで修飾された金属粒子とその製造方法については従来から特願2003−40308等で本発明者等が提案しているので、ここでは2種類以上のCNTで修飾された金属粒子についてのみ説明する。
(Metal particles and manufacturing method thereof)
In the manufacturing method 3 and manufacturing method 4 of the composite metal body described above, it has been described that a composite metal body is manufactured using metal particles modified with CNTs. The metal particles modified with two or more types of CNTs are described below. The manufacturing method will be described.
In addition, since the present inventors have proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-40308 etc. about the metal particle modified with a single type of CNT and the method for producing the same, here it was modified with two or more types of CNT. Only the metal particles will be described.
本発明の金属粒子の製造方法は、2種類以上のCNTを分散した電解液を電解して、カソード電極上に、CNTが混入した金属粒子を析出させる工程と、析出した金属粒子をカソード電極上から分離する工程を含んでいる。
分離した金属粒子を回収、洗浄、乾燥することによって所要の金属粒子を得ることができる。
The method for producing metal particles of the present invention includes a step of electrolyzing an electrolytic solution in which two or more types of CNTs are dispersed to deposit metal particles mixed with CNTs on the cathode electrode, and the deposited metal particles on the cathode electrode. A step of separating from.
The required metal particles can be obtained by collecting, washing and drying the separated metal particles.
電流密度や電解時間などの電解条件を調節することによって平均粒径数百nm〜数十μmの範囲の金属粒子を析出させることができる。電流密度は粒径や生産性を考慮して最適値を選択する。
例えば銅の電解液の場合、電解槽に硫酸銅水溶液と硫酸を主成分とする電解液を入れ、2種類以上のカーボンナノチューブを電解液に入れる。
電解槽中ではアノード電極として電気銅を使用し、電解中の銅イオンの補給を行う。電解液への銅イオンの補給は、銅以外の金属、例えば鉛をアノード電極として使用し、外部から銅イオンを補給しても構わない。
場合によっては、電解中の電解液は撹拌装置により撹拌されると同時に、電解液濃度および成分量も所定の比率となるように制御する。
By adjusting electrolysis conditions such as current density and electrolysis time, metal particles having an average particle size in the range of several hundred nm to several tens of μm can be deposited. The optimum current density is selected in consideration of the particle size and productivity.
For example, in the case of a copper electrolytic solution, an electrolytic solution containing a copper sulfate aqueous solution and sulfuric acid as main components is placed in an electrolytic bath, and two or more types of carbon nanotubes are placed in the electrolytic solution.
In the electrolytic bath, electrolytic copper is used as the anode electrode to replenish copper ions during electrolysis. For supplying copper ions to the electrolytic solution, a metal other than copper, for example, lead may be used as the anode electrode, and copper ions may be supplied from the outside.
In some cases, the electrolytic solution being electrolyzed is stirred by the stirring device, and at the same time, the electrolytic solution concentration and the component amount are controlled to have a predetermined ratio.
また、2種類以上のCNTを電解液中に分散させるために、有機化合物からなる分散剤を添加するか、あるいは超音波による振動を与えるとよい。分散剤としてはポリアクリル酸等を用いることができる。 Further, in order to disperse two or more types of CNTs in the electrolytic solution, it is preferable to add a dispersant made of an organic compound or to apply vibration by ultrasonic waves. A polyacrylic acid etc. can be used as a dispersing agent.
析出した金属粒子をカソード電極上から分離する場合、金属粒子が析出したカソード電極よりブレード等を用いて機械的に分離できる。 When the deposited metal particles are separated from the cathode electrode, they can be mechanically separated from the cathode electrode on which the metal particles are deposited using a blade or the like.
析出粒子の粒径や強度、およびカソード電極からの分離性を調整するため、電解液にチオ尿素、ゼラチン、タングステン、塩化物等の有機、無機化合物を添加してもよい。
カソード電極には、析出する金属(本実施例では銅)の密着性が悪く、析出粒子を分離しやすいニオブを使用すると好適である。カソード電極としてはニオブに限られることはなく、ステンレス鋼、チタン、タンタル、白金等を使用することができる。
またカソード電極の表面は析出する金属を粒子化するため表面を粗面化しておくことが望ましい。例えば、カソード電極の表面にカソード電極とは異なる金属材料から成る微小突起を形成するとよい。
In order to adjust the particle size and strength of the deposited particles and the separability from the cathode electrode, an organic or inorganic compound such as thiourea, gelatin, tungsten, or chloride may be added to the electrolytic solution.
For the cathode electrode, it is preferable to use niobium which has poor adhesion to the deposited metal (copper in this embodiment) and can easily separate the deposited particles. The cathode electrode is not limited to niobium, and stainless steel, titanium, tantalum, platinum or the like can be used.
Further, it is desirable that the surface of the cathode electrode is roughened in order to make the deposited metal into particles. For example, microprotrusions made of a metal material different from the cathode electrode may be formed on the surface of the cathode electrode.
生産される、2種類以上のCNTで修飾された金属粒子の粒径は、カソード表面の微小突起の大きさと形状、電解電流密度などが相互に関連して決まる。
なお、金属粒子の金属の種類は銅に限定されるものではない。
The particle size of the metal particles modified with two or more types of CNTs to be produced is determined in relation to the size and shape of the microprojections on the cathode surface, the electrolytic current density, and the like.
Note that the metal type of the metal particles is not limited to copper.
上記のようにして得られる金属粒子は数百nm〜数十μmの極めて微細なものであり、しかも各金属粒子に2種類以上のCNTが混入している。したがって、これら金属粒子の集合体を焼成または溶融して得られる複合材料中には、2種類以上のCNTが均一に混入されたものとなる。 The metal particles obtained as described above are extremely fine particles of several hundred nm to several tens of μm, and two or more kinds of CNTs are mixed in each metal particle. Therefore, two or more types of CNTs are uniformly mixed in the composite material obtained by firing or melting these aggregates of metal particles.
また、電解液へのCNTの分散量、電解条件などを変えることによって、種々のCNTの混入量、粒径の金属粒子が得られるから、これら金属粒子を焼成または溶融することによって得られる複合金属体中の各CNT量も任意にコントロールすることが可能となる。
このような複合金属体は、2種類以上の各CNTの特質を生かして、摺動性が必要な軸受、高い電気伝導率が必要な電極や電気接点、高い熱伝導率の必要な放熱機構など、多様な用途に利用可能である。
In addition, by changing the amount of CNT dispersed in the electrolytic solution, electrolysis conditions, etc., various CNT mixing amounts and metal particles with particle sizes can be obtained, so composite metals obtained by firing or melting these metal particles The amount of each CNT in the body can also be arbitrarily controlled.
Such composite metal bodies make use of the characteristics of each of two or more types of CNTs, such as bearings that require slidability, electrodes and electrical contacts that require high electrical conductivity, and heat dissipation mechanisms that require high thermal conductivity. It can be used for various purposes.
