Description
本発明は粒状物及び粒状物の製造方法に関し、更に詳細にはカーボンナノチューブから成る粒状物及び粒状物の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a grain-like material and granules, and more particularly to a manufacturing method of forming Ru particle-like material and particulate matter from the carbon nanotubes.
カーボンナノチューブ(以下、単にCNTと称することがある)は、その剛性、電気伝導性及び伝熱性に優れている。このため、一般的に剛性、電気伝導性及び伝熱性に劣る樹脂等の材料に均一に分散配合できれば、樹脂等の材料の剛性、電気伝導性及び伝熱性を格段に改善できる。
しかし、CNTは凝集し易いため、単に樹脂等の材料に投入して混練したのみでは分散配合することは至難のことである。
一方、下記非特許文献1には、図9に示すCNTと金属とから成り、CNTの端部がウニ状に突出した粒状物を、CNTを特殊な分散剤により分散した金属イオンを含有するめっき液に電流を流すことによって得ることができ、かかる粒状物を熱圧着して部品材料を形成することが提案されている。
However, since CNTs easily aggregate, it is very difficult to disperse and mix them simply by putting them into a material such as a resin and kneading them.
On the other hand, the following Non-Patent Document 1 includes a CNT and a metal shown in FIG. 9, and a granular material in which the end of the CNT protrudes in a sea urchin shape, containing metal ions obtained by dispersing CNT with a special dispersant. It can be obtained by passing an electric current through the liquid, and it has been proposed to thermocompress such a granular material to form a component material.
図9に示す粒状物を熱圧着して形成した部品材料をモータ軸や軸受に用いることによって、耐摩擦性及び放熱性を著しく向上でき、部品寿命の延長が期待できる。
しかし、図9に示す粒状物は、CNTの端部が金属層に覆われることなく露出状態でウニ状に突出しているものであり、粒状物自体の分散性が劣る。
更に、図9に示す粒状物は、ウニ状に突出したCNTが露出状態であるため、樹脂との濡れ性が劣り、樹脂に均一分散しようとすると、粒状物の分散性が劣るものと考えられる。
そこで、本発明の課題は、粒状物自体の分散性が改善されたカーボンナノチューブから成る粒状物及びその製造方法を提案することにある。
By using the component material formed by thermocompression bonding of the granular material shown in FIG. 9 for the motor shaft and the bearing, it is possible to remarkably improve the friction resistance and the heat dissipation, and to expect an extension of the component life.
However, the granular material shown in FIG. 9 protrudes like a sea urchin in an exposed state without being covered with a metal layer, and the dispersibility of the granular material itself is inferior.
Furthermore, granules shown in FIG. 9, since CNT projecting in sea urchin shape is exposed state, Ri wettability inferior to the resin, an attempt to uniformly disperse the tree fat, and that the poor dispersibility of the granules Conceivable.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to propose a granular material composed of carbon nanotubes in which the dispersibility of the granular material itself is improved and a method for producing the same.
本発明者等は、前記課題を解決すべく、先ず、無電解めっきによってCNTにめっき金属を形成せんと試みたところ、周面全面が薄層のめっき金属層で覆われた薄層CNTを得ることができた。
しかしながら、CNTの全周面を薄層のめっき金属層で覆うための時間は長時間かかり、形成された薄層のめっき金属層は均一層であって、その表面は平滑面であるため、樹脂に配合した薄層CNTは樹脂から剥離し易い。
次に、本発明者は、電解めっきによってCNTにめっき金属を形成せんと試みたところ、CNTの端部が露出状態でウニ状に突出することなく粒状物を形成できること、電解めっき条件を変更することによって粒状物の形状を変更できることを見出し、本発明に到達した。
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors first tried to form a plating metal on the CNTs by electroless plating. As a result, thin CNTs whose entire peripheral surface was covered with a thin plating metal layer were obtained. I was able to.
However, it takes a long time to cover the entire circumferential surface of the CNT with the thin plated metal layer, and the formed thin plated metal layer is a uniform layer and the surface thereof is a smooth surface. The thin-walled CNT blended in is easily peeled from the resin.
Next, the present inventor tried to form a plating metal on the CNTs by electrolytic plating. As a result, the end of the CNTs can be formed in an exposed state without protruding into a sea urchin, and the electrolytic plating conditions are changed. As a result, the inventors have found that the shape of the granular material can be changed, and have reached the present invention.

本発明において用いるカーボンナノチューブは、公知のカーボンナノチューブを用いることができ、具体的にはシングルウォールカーボンナノチューブ又はマルチウォールカーボンナノチューブを用いることができる。
かかるカーボンナノチューブ(CNT)から成る本発明に係る粒状物の一例を図1に示す。図1は、複数本のCNTから成る塊状の粒状物の電子顕微鏡写真である。図1において、線状物がCNTであって、CNTの所々に形成された白い球状物がめっき金属層としてのニッケル層である。
図1から明らかな様に、図1に示す粒状物は、金属層で覆われていないCNTの端部が粒状物の外方にウニ状に突出することなく形成されており、CNTの各表面に間欠的に形成された球状のニッケル層によってCNT同士が相互に固着されていると共に、CNT間には隙間が形成されている。
As the carbon nanotube used in the present invention, a known carbon nanotube can be used, and specifically, a single wall carbon nanotube or a multi-wall carbon nanotube can be used.
An example of the granular material according to the present invention comprising such carbon nanotubes (CNT) is shown in FIG. Figure 1 is an electron micrograph of lumps shaped granules comprising of a plurality of CNT. In FIG. 1, the linear object is CNT, and the white spherical object formed in the CNT is a nickel layer as a plating metal layer.
As is apparent from FIG. 1, shown to particle Jobutsu 1 is formed without the end of the CNT not covered with the metal layer projects into sea urchin-like outside the granules, the CNT The CNTs are fixed to each other by a spherical nickel layer intermittently formed on each surface, and a gap is formed between the CNTs.
これに対し、図2に示すCNTから成る塊状の粒状物も、金属層で覆われていないCNTの端部が粒状物の外方にウニ状に突出することなく形成されているが、粒状物の外周面は、めっき金属層としてのニッケル層によって覆われている。
更に、かかる図2に示す粒状物の外周面を観察すると、外周面近傍のCNTは、その実質的全面が凹凸状表面のニッケル層によって覆われており、このCNTの端部の少なくとも一方を覆うニッケル層がCNTの側面を覆うニッケル層よりも厚く形成されている。
この様に、図1及び図2に示す粒状物は、CNTの端部が粒状物の外方に露出状態でウニ状に突出することなく形成されているため、粒状物自体の分散性は良好である。
また、かかる粒状物を樹脂に含浸させることによって、剛性に優れたCNTを樹脂中に分散して配設できるため、樹脂の剛性や電気特性を改善できる。
In contrast, the particle shape of the lump consisting CNT shown in FIG. 2 also have been formed without the end portions of the CNT not covered with the metal layer projects into sea urchin-like outside the granules, grain The outer peripheral surface of the object is covered with a nickel layer as a plating metal layer.
Furthermore, when observing the outer peripheral surface of the take 2 shown to the grain-like material, CNT of the outer peripheral surface near its substantially entire surface is covered by a nickel layer of uneven surfaces, at least one end of the CNT The nickel layer covering the CNTs is formed thicker than the nickel layer covering the side surfaces of the CNTs.
Thus, shown to particle Jobutsu in FIGS. 1 and 2, since it is formed without the end of the CNT protrudes sea urchin shape in exposed state to the outside of the particle, dispersion of the grain-like material itself The property is good.
Further, a particle-like material that written by impregnating the resin, the CNT has excellent rigidity because it disposed dispersed in a resin can improve the rigidity and electrical properties of the resin.
ところで、図1に示す粒状物は、CNT同士がニッケル層を介することなく直接接触する部分が存在する。このため、図1に示す粒状物は、電気伝導性及び伝熱性がニッケルよりも優れたにCNT同士が直接接触するため、ニッケル層を介してCNT同士が接触する図2に示す粒状物に比較して、その電気伝導性及び伝熱性が良好である。
更に、図1に示す粒状物は、CNT間に隙間が形成されているため、樹脂に含浸する際に、かかる隙間に樹脂が入り込みアンカー効果を奏することも期待できる。
一方、図2に示す粒状物は、その全面がニッケル層によって覆われているため、樹脂との濡れ性が、部分的にニッケル層が形成されている図1に示す粒状物に比較して良好であり、樹脂への分散性を向上できる。
尚、図1及び図2に示す粒状物の大きさは、10〜30μmである。
Incidentally, it is shown to particle Jobutsu in FIG. 1, CNT each other there is direct contact with the portion without passing through the nickel layer. Therefore, shown to particle Jobutsu in FIG. 1, the electric conductivity and heat conductivity is CNT contact each other directly to better than nickel, shown to grains in Figure 2 the CNT come into contact with each other through the nickel layer The electrical conductivity and heat transfer properties are better than those of the product.
Further, it is shown to particle Jobutsu in FIG. 1, since it is a gap is formed between the CNT, when impregnated with the resin, can be expected to exhibit the anchoring effect resin enters the take gap.
On the other hand, indicates to particle Jobutsu in FIG. 2, since the entire surface is covered by a nickel layer, the wettability of the resin is partially shown to the particle-like material in Figure 1, the nickel layer is formed Compared to this, it is good and the dispersibility in the resin can be improved.
The size of the shown to particle-like material in Figures 1 and 2 are 10 to 30 [mu] m.
かかる図1及び図2に示す粒状物は、複数本のCNTが塊状に固まって形成されているものであるが、図3に示す粒状物の様に、複数本のCNTによって形成された線状体を含有する粒状物であってもよい。この線状体を形成するCNTの各表面には、めっき金属層としてのニッケル層が形成されている
かかる粒状物の一例を図3(a)に示す。図3(a)に示す粒状物には、図3(b)に示す複数本のCNTが線状に繋がって形成された線状体を含有しており、CNTの長手方向に球状のめっき金属層としてのニッケル層が間欠的に形成されていると共に、めっき金属層間にCNTの表面が露出している。
図3(a)(b)に示す粒状物は、CNT同士がニッケル層を介することなく直接接触する部分が存在するため、電気伝導性及び伝熱性がニッケルよりも優れたにCNT同士が直接接触し、その電気伝導性及び伝熱性が良好である。
The granular material shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is formed by agglomerating a plurality of CNTs into a lump, but like the granular material shown in FIG. 3, a linear shape formed by a plurality of CNTs. The granular material containing a body may be sufficient. Each surface of the CNT to form a linear body of this, an example of such granules nickel layer as a plating metal layer is formed shown in FIG. 3 (a). The granules shown in FIG. 3 (a), which contain FIG 3 (b) to indicate to the plurality of CNT is formed connected linearly the linear body, plating spherical in the longitudinal direction of the CNT A nickel layer as a metal layer is intermittently formed, and the surface of the CNT is exposed between the plated metal layers .
Shown to particle Jobutsu in FIG 3 (a) (b), since the CNT each other there is direct contact with the portion without using a nickel layer, is CNT between the electrical conductivity and heat conductivity is better than nickel Direct contact, good electrical conductivity and heat transfer.
また、他の粒状体を図4及び図5に示す。図5は、図4の粒状物の拡大断面図である。かかる図4に示す粒状物は、CNT10の全面がめっき金属層としてのニッケル層12によって覆われている。このニッケル層12のうち、CNT10の側面を覆う部分は、多数の凹凸が形成されて凹凸状表面に形成されている。
他方、CNT10の端部を覆う部分は、図5(a)に示す様に、単一のCNT10の端部の一方が、CNT10の側面を覆うニッケル層12よりも厚く形成されているものと、図5(b)に示す様に、単一のCNT10の両端部が、共にCNT10の側面を覆うニッケル層12よりも厚く形成されているものとが存在する。
この様に、CNT10の実質的全面がニッケル層12によって覆われている図4及び図5(a)(b)に示す粒状物は、樹脂との濡れ性が、部分的にニッケル層が形成されている図3(a)(b)に示す粒状物に比較して良好であり、樹脂への分散性を向上できる。
更に、CNT10を覆うニッケル層12は、その表面が凹凸状面に形成されているため、ニッケル層12の凹凸状表面による樹脂とのアンカー効果も期待できる。
尚、CNTの表面にめっき金属層が形成された図1〜図5に示す粒状物を樹脂に配合することによって、樹脂に優れた電磁波の遮断性を付与できる。
Other granular materials are shown in FIGS. Figure 5 is an enlarged sectional view of a particle-like material in FIG. Shown to particle Jobutsu in such Figure 4, the entire surface of the C NT10 is covered by a nickel layer 12 as a plated metal layer. A portion of the nickel layer 12 that covers the side surface of the CNT 10 is formed on a concavo-convex surface with a large number of concavo-convex portions.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5A, the part covering the end of the CNT 10 is such that one end of the single CNT 10 is formed thicker than the nickel layer 12 covering the side surface of the CNT 10. As shown in FIG. 5B, there is a case where both ends of a single CNT 10 are formed thicker than the nickel layer 12 that covers the side surfaces of the CNT 10.
Thus, FIGS. 4 and shown to particle Jobutsu in FIG 5 (a) (b) substantially the entire surface of the CNT10 is covered by a nickel layer 12, wettability with resins, partially nickel layer 3 which is formed (a) (b) as compared to the shown to particle-like material is good, it is possible to improve the dispersibility in the resin.
Furthermore, since the surface of the nickel layer 12 covering the CNT 10 is formed in a concavo-convex surface, an anchor effect with the resin due to the concavo-convex surface of the nickel layer 12 can also be expected.
In addition, the resin can be provided with excellent electromagnetic wave shielding properties by blending the resin shown in FIGS.
図1〜図5に示す粒状物は、図6に示す電解装置によって得ることができる。図6に示す電解装置は、電解めっき槽14に貯留されて攪拌機24によって攪拌されている電解めっき液16に、直流電源18に接続された陽極20と陰極22とが浸漬されている。陽極20は、CNT10の表面に析出させたい金属から成る金属部材を用いる。
かかる電解めっき液16にCNT10が分散されており、めっき金属が析出したCNT10から成る粒状物は、陰極22の表面に析出すると共に、電解めっき液16中に浮遊し、電解めっき槽14の底面にも沈殿する。
The granular material shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 can be obtained by the electrolysis apparatus shown in FIG. In the electrolysis apparatus shown in FIG. 6, an anode 20 and a cathode 22 connected to a DC power source 18 are immersed in an electroplating solution 16 stored in an electroplating tank 14 and stirred by a stirrer 24. For the anode 20, a metal member made of a metal to be deposited on the surface of the CNT 10 is used.
The CNT 10 is dispersed in the electrolytic plating solution 16, and the particulate matter composed of the CNT 10 on which the plating metal is deposited is deposited on the surface of the cathode 22, floats in the electrolytic plating solution 16, and is deposited on the bottom surface of the electrolytic plating tank 14. Also precipitate.
かかる電解めっき液16には、CNT10を電解めっき液16に充分に分散することが肝要である。このためには、分散剤として、アルキンジオール分子中にオキシエチレン側鎖を有するアルキンジオール化合物であって、このアルキンジオール化合物の分子量の少なくとも20重量%をオキシエチレン側鎖が占める分散剤を用いることによって、CNTを電解めっき液16に充分に分散できる。
或いは、分散として、カチオン活性剤から成る分散剤、特に炭化水素系のカチオン活性剤とフッ素化水素系のカチオン活性剤とから成る分散剤も用いることができる。
この様な分散剤を用いることのできる電解めっき液であれば、CNTの表面に所望の金属を析出し得る公知の電解めっき液を用いることができ、例えばニッケルをCNTの表面に析出し得る電解めっき液としては、ワット浴を用いることができる。
尚、界面活性剤としても、公知の界面活性剤を用いることができる。
It is important that the CNT 10 is sufficiently dispersed in the electrolytic plating solution 16 in the electrolytic plating solution 16. For this purpose, an alkyne diol compound having an oxyethylene side chain in the alkyne diol molecule is used as the dispersant, and the dispersant occupies at least 20% by weight of the molecular weight of the alkyne diol compound. Thus, CNT can be sufficiently dispersed in the electrolytic plating solution 16.
Alternatively, as a dispersion, a dispersant composed of a cationic activator, particularly a dispersant composed of a hydrocarbon-based cationic activator and a hydrogen fluoride-based cationic activator can also be used.
As long as the electrolytic plating solution can use such a dispersant, a known electrolytic plating solution capable of depositing a desired metal on the surface of the CNT can be used. For example, electrolysis capable of depositing nickel on the surface of the CNT. A watt bath can be used as the plating solution.
A known surfactant can also be used as the surfactant.
かかる電解めっき液16を用いた電解めっきの際に、電解めっきの電流密度を、3A/dm2以上とすることが好ましく、図2及び図4に示す様に、CNTの全面にめっき金属を形成する場合には、電流密度を10A/dm2以上とすることが好ましい。
この電解めっきによって生成した粒状物は、陰極22の表面に析出すると共に、電解めっき液16中に浮遊し、電解めっき槽14の底面にも沈殿するため、電解めっき液16を電解めっき槽14の底面に沈殿した粒状物と共にスポイト等によって吸引し、粒状物を沈殿させることによって得ることができる。粒状物は、CNTの表面にめっき金属が形成されており、その比重は電解めっき液16よりも大きく容易に沈殿するからである。
この様に、粒状物の比重が電解めっき液16よりも大きいため、電解めっきを所定時間継続して終了した後、攪拌機24による攪拌を停止することによって、電解めっき液16に浮遊している粒状物は電解めっき槽14の底面に容易に沈殿し、生成した粒状物を容易に回収できる。
また、陰極22に析出する粒状物は、陰極22の表面をフッ素樹脂製のヘラ等によって削ぎ落として回収できる。かかる削ぎ落としを、電解めっき中に定期的に行なうことによって、陰極表面に付着した粒状物が形成されることを防止できる。
尚、めっき金属として、ニッケル等の磁性を有する金属を用いた場合には、電解めっき槽14の底面に沈殿した粒状物を磁石によって容易に回収できる。
In the electrolytic plating using the electrolytic plating solution 16, it is preferable that the current density of the electrolytic plating is 3 A / dm 2 or more. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, a plated metal is formed on the entire surface of the CNT. In this case, the current density is preferably 10 A / dm 2 or more.
The particulate matter generated by the electrolytic plating is deposited on the surface of the cathode 22, floats in the electrolytic plating solution 16, and also settles on the bottom surface of the electrolytic plating bath 14. It can be obtained by sucking with a dropper together with the particulate matter precipitated on the bottom surface to precipitate the particulate matter. This is because the granular material has a plated metal formed on the surface of the CNT, and its specific gravity is larger than that of the electrolytic plating solution 16 and easily precipitates.
As described above, since the specific gravity of the granular material is larger than that of the electrolytic plating solution 16, the electrolytic plating is continued for a predetermined time, and then the stirring by the stirrer 24 is stopped, whereby the particulate floating in the electrolytic plating solution 16. The product easily settles on the bottom surface of the electrolytic plating tank 14, and the generated granular material can be easily recovered.
The particulate matter deposited on the cathode 22 can be recovered by scraping off the surface of the cathode 22 with a spatula made of fluororesin. By periodically carrying out such scraping during the electroplating, it is possible to prevent the formation of granular materials attached to the cathode surface.
In addition, when a metal having magnetism such as nickel is used as the plating metal, the particulate matter precipitated on the bottom surface of the electrolytic plating tank 14 can be easily recovered with a magnet.
この様に、電解めっきによってCNTにめっき金属層を形成できるメカニズムは、図7に示すように考えることができる。
すなわち、陽極20と陰極22との間に存在するCNT10が分極化され、分極化されたCNT10の一端部が、図7(a)に示す様に、陰極22の陰極面に引き寄せられて付着する。陰極22に一端部が付着したCNT10は、その他端部の電流密度が他の部分よりも高くなるため、めっき金属が集中的に析出し、図7(b)に示す様に、CNT10の先端部に厚いめっき金属層12が形成される。
形成されためっき金属層12の先端部には、図7(c)に示す様に、分極化されたCNT10が付着する。この様に、新たなCNT10が付着すると、新たに付着したCNT10の先端部が最も電流密度が高くなるため、図7(d)に示す様に、新たに付着したCNT10にめっき金属が集中的に析出する。
Thus, the mechanism by which the plated metal layer can be formed on the CNTs by electrolytic plating can be considered as shown in FIG.
That is, the CNT 10 existing between the anode 20 and the cathode 22 is polarized, and one end of the polarized CNT 10 is attracted to and attached to the cathode surface of the cathode 22 as shown in FIG. . In the CNT 10 having one end attached to the cathode 22, the current density at the other end is higher than that at the other part, so that the plating metal is concentrated, and as shown in FIG. A thick plated metal layer 12 is formed.
As shown in FIG. 7C, polarized CNTs 10 adhere to the tip of the formed plated metal layer 12. Thus, when new CNT 10 adheres, the tip of the newly attached CNT 10 has the highest current density. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7D, the plating metal is concentrated on the newly attached CNT 10. Precipitate.
ここで、陰極22の陰極面にCNT10が高密度に付着する場合には、めっき金属12が付着する際に、隣接するCNT10のめっき金属12と接合され易くなり、塊状の粒状物が形成され易い。
他方、陰極22の陰極面に付着するCNT10の密度が比較的低い場合には、隣接するCNT10のめっき金属12と接合され難くなり、線状体を含む粒状物が形成され易い。
また、電流密度が高く、陰極面に付着したCNT10にめっき金属12が析出し易い場合には、陰極面に付着したCNT10の全面がめっき金属層12によって覆われた後、新たなCNT10が付着するため、全面がめっき金属層12で覆われたCNT10から成る粒状物が形成され易くなる。
他方、電流密度が低い場合には、陰極面に付着したCNT10の全面がめっき金属層12によって覆われる前に、CNT10の先端部を覆うめっき金属層12に新たなCNT10が付着し、新たなCNT10の先端部にめっき金属が析出する。このため、CNT10に間欠的にめっき金属層12が形成された粒状物が形成され易くなる。
Here, when the CNT10 the cathode surface of the cathode 22 is adhered at a high density, when the plating metal 12 is attached, becomes easier to be bonded to the plating metal 12 adjacent CNT10, particle-like material in bulk is formed easy.
On the other hand, when the density of the CNTs 10 adhering to the cathode surface of the cathode 22 is relatively low, it becomes difficult to be joined to the plating metal 12 of the adjacent CNTs 10 and a granular material including a linear body is easily formed.
In addition, when the current density is high and the plating metal 12 is likely to be deposited on the CNT 10 attached to the cathode surface, new CNT 10 is attached after the entire surface of the CNT 10 attached to the cathode surface is covered with the plating metal layer 12. Therefore, a granular material made of CNT 10 whose entire surface is covered with the plated metal layer 12 is easily formed.
On the other hand, when the current density is low, before the entire surface of the CNT 10 attached to the cathode surface is covered with the plated metal layer 12, new CNT 10 is attached to the plated metal layer 12 covering the tip of the CNT 10, and the new CNT 10 The plated metal is deposited on the tip of the plate. For this reason, it becomes easy to form a granular material in which the plated metal layer 12 is intermittently formed on the CNT 10.
ところで、図7では、陰極22の陰極面に付着するCNT10の一端部が付着した場合について説明したが、この場合、全面がめっき金属層12によって覆われたCNT10は、図5(a)に示す様に、その端部の一方が側面を覆うニッケル層12よりも厚く形成され易くなる。
他方、図8に示す様に、陰極22の陰極面に湾曲したCNT10の側面が付着した場合、全面がめっき金属層12によって覆われたCNT10は、図5(b)に示す様に、その両端部が側面を覆うニッケル層12よりも厚く形成され易くなる。
By the way, although FIG. 7 demonstrated the case where the one end part of CNT10 adhering to the cathode surface of the cathode 22 adhered, in this case, CNT10 with which the whole surface was covered with the plating metal layer 12 is shown to Fig.5 (a). Similarly, one of the end portions is easily formed thicker than the nickel layer 12 covering the side surface.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, when the side surface of the curved CNT 10 adheres to the cathode surface of the cathode 22, the entire surface of the CNT 10 covered with the plated metal layer 12 has both ends as shown in FIG. The portion is more easily formed thicker than the nickel layer 12 covering the side surface.

In Example 1, except that 0.1 g / liter of MWCNT was added to the electrolytic plating solution having the composition shown in Table 2 below, and then electroplating at a current density of 10 A / dm 2 was performed for 5 minutes. In the same manner as in Example 1, the MWCNT was subjected to electrolytic plating, and the particulate matter precipitated on the bottom surface of the electrolytic plating tank was collected.
Moreover, the part of the nickel layer 12 covering one end of the MWCNT 10 is formed thicker than the nickel layer 12 covering the side surface of the MWCNT 10, and the part of the nickel layer 12 covering both ends of the MWCNT 10 What was formed thicker than the nickel layer 12 which covers a side surface was mixed.
