Description
本発明は、導電性物質を含む面状の発熱層を有する面状発熱体、及びその製造法に関する。本発明の面状発熱体は、例えば、電気カーペット、床暖房機器、壁面暖房機器、道路や屋根の融雪用ヒーター、自動車等で用いられるシートヒーター、鏡の防曇用ヒーター、パイプラインや農業用ハウス等の加熱や保温に用いられるヒーター、電気自動車の電池の加温に用いられるヒーター等の熱源として利用することができる。The present invention relates to a planar heating element having a planar heating layer containing a conductive material, and a method for producing the same. The planar heating element of the present invention can be used as a heat source for, for example, electric carpets, floor heating equipment, wall heating equipment, heaters for melting snow on roads and roofs, seat heaters used in automobiles, etc., heaters for preventing fogging of mirrors, heaters used for heating and keeping warm pipelines and agricultural greenhouses, heaters used for heating batteries in electric automobiles, etc.
従来、床暖房や道路の融雪等を目的とした面状発熱体の開発が行われている。特許文献1は、微細炭素繊維水分散液を用いて得られた面状発熱体に関する発明である。特許文献1には、微細炭素繊維水分散液を絶縁性基材の表面に塗布し、これを乾燥して面状発熱層を形成し、更に該面状発熱層に電極を形成する面状発熱体の製造方法が開示されている(特許文献1[請求項21])。特許文献1[実施例1]では、電極の製造方法として、(1-1)面上発熱層に銀ペーストを塗布後、その上にT字型に切断した銅板を設置し、その上に再度銀ペーストを塗布する方法が採用されている。Conventionally, sheet heating elements have been developed for purposes such as floor heating and melting snow on roads.
特許文献2は、導電性金属酸化物層である発熱層を有するヒーターに関する発明で、基板と導電性金属酸化物層(発熱層)と、該金属酸化物層と電気的に接続された給電用電極とを備える(特許文献2[請求項1])。
給電用電極の形成に関して、特許文献1[0044]には、以下の3つの方法が開示されている。
(2-1)導電性金属酸化物層の主面上に、化学気相成長法や物理気相成長法等のドライプロセスにて金属膜を形成し、次にメッキ法などのウエットプロセス等により金属膜の厚みを増加させた後、マスキングフィルムを配置し、不要な金属膜をエッチングにより除去し、その後マスキングフィルムを取り除く方法。
(2-2)導電性金属酸化物層の主面上に、化学気相成長法や物理気相成長法等のドライプロセスにて金属膜を形成し、その後マスキングフィルムを配置してメッキ法などのウエットプロセス等により金属膜の厚みを増加させた後、マスキングフィルムを取り除き、マスキングフィルムに覆われていた部分をエッチングにより除去する方法。
(2-3)導電性インクを導電性金属酸化物層の主面上に所定のパターンで塗布し、塗布した導電性インクを硬化させる方法。
Regarding the formation of the power supply electrodes, Patent Document 1 [0044] discloses the following three methods.
(2-1) A method in which a metal film is formed on a main surface of a conductive metal oxide layer by a dry process such as chemical vapor deposition or physical vapor deposition, and then the thickness of the metal film is increased by a wet process such as plating, after which a masking film is placed, unnecessary metal film is removed by etching, and then the masking film is removed.
(2-2) A method in which a metal film is formed on the main surface of a conductive metal oxide layer by a dry process such as chemical vapor deposition or physical vapor deposition, a masking film is then placed and the thickness of the metal film is increased by a wet process such as plating, the masking film is then removed, and the portion that was covered by the masking film is removed by etching.
(2-3) A method in which a conductive ink is applied in a predetermined pattern onto the main surface of a conductive metal oxide layer, and the applied conductive ink is cured.
特許文献3はフレキシブルシート状発熱素子に関する発明で、絶縁性基材と、ナノカーボン材料層(発熱層)と電極層とを積層した発熱素子が開示されている(特許文献3[請求項1])。特許文献3には発熱素子の製造方法として、i)ナノカーボン材料と界面活性剤を含む分散液を、絶縁性基材の表面に塗布により付着させ、乾燥することで前記ナノカーボン材料層(発熱層)を形成する工程、ii)前記ナノカーボン材料層(発熱層)の一部の表面上に、複数の電極層を形成する工程、を含む製造方法が開示されている(特許文献3[請求項14])。更に、ii)カーボン材料層上に電極層を形成する方法として、(3-1)ナノカーボン材料層の表面上の電極を形成したい部分に、圧延した金属箔を圧着する方法、(3-2)当該部分に金属のめっき処理を行う方法、(3-3)当該部分に金属ペーストをスクリーン印刷により塗布・乾燥する方法(特許文献3[0055])が開示されている。 Patent Document 3 is an invention related to a flexible sheet-like heating element, and discloses a heating element in which an insulating substrate, a nanocarbon material layer (heating layer), and an electrode layer are laminated (Patent Document 3 [Claim 1]). Patent Document 3 discloses a manufacturing method for a heating element, including a step of i) applying a dispersion liquid containing a nanocarbon material and a surfactant to the surface of an insulating substrate and drying the dispersion liquid to form the nanocarbon material layer (heating layer), and a step of ii) forming a plurality of electrode layers on a part of the surface of the nanocarbon material layer (heating layer) (Patent Document 3 [Claim 14]). Furthermore, Patent Document 3 discloses a method of ii) forming an electrode layer on a carbon material layer, including a method of (3-1) pressing a rolled metal foil onto a part of the surface of the nanocarbon material layer where an electrode is to be formed, (3-2) plating the part with a metal, and (3-3) applying a metal paste to the part by screen printing and drying (Patent Document 3 [0055]).
上述した発明に開示されている方法により電極を成形すると、以下の様な問題点がある。
金属ペーストや導電性インクを用いる方法(1-1)(2-3)(3-3)は、金属ペーストや導電性インクの抵抗値が高い為、効率よく発熱層に電力を供給することができない。加えて銀ペーストは、銀が高価である為、電極の製造コストが嵩む。また(2-1)(2-2)や(3-2)に開示されている方法は、化学気相成長法や物理気相成長法、メッキ法、エッチング等を行う必要があり、いずれも高価な製造装置が必要になり、また製造工程も煩雑である。更に圧延した金属箔を圧着する方法(3-1)は、発熱層と金属箔の接着力が非常に弱いという問題があった。接着力を上げるために、(3-1-1)導電性接着剤を用いる方法や、(3-1-2)圧着時に加熱する方法等も考えられるが、(3-1-1)導電性接着剤を用いると電気抵抗値が上がり発熱効率が下がるという問題ある。また(3-1-2)圧着時に加熱する方法では、発熱層や絶縁性基材が熱変形し、厚みが不均一になるという問題がある。
When electrodes are formed by the methods disclosed in the above-mentioned inventions, the following problems arise.
The methods (1-1), (2-3), and (3-3) using metal paste or conductive ink cannot efficiently supply power to the heating layer because the resistance of the metal paste or conductive ink is high. In addition, the silver paste is expensive, so the manufacturing cost of the electrode is high. Furthermore, the methods disclosed in (2-1), (2-2), and (3-2) require chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, plating, etching, etc., all of which require expensive manufacturing equipment and are also complicated manufacturing processes. Furthermore, the method (3-1) of bonding rolled metal foil with pressure has a problem that the adhesive strength between the heating layer and the metal foil is very weak. In order to increase the adhesive strength, the method (3-1-1) of using a conductive adhesive and the method (3-1-2) of heating during compression can be considered, but the use of the conductive adhesive (3-1-1) has a problem that the electrical resistance value increases and the heating efficiency decreases. Furthermore, the method (3-1-2) of heating during compression has a problem that the heating layer and the insulating base material are thermally deformed and the thickness becomes uneven.
本発明は、発熱層に効率よく給電することができる電極を、極めて簡単に形成することを課題とする。更には発熱効率が良く、製造コストの低い面状発熱体の提供を目的とする。The objective of the present invention is to extremely simply form electrodes that can efficiently supply power to a heat generating layer. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a sheet heating element that has good heat generation efficiency and low manufacturing costs.
本発明者らは、発熱効率を上げるために、電極の素材として電気抵抗値が低い金属箔を採用することとした。そして発熱層上に金属箔からなる電極を固定する方法として、電極を発熱層上に直接固定するのではなく、電極を絶縁性基材上に固定した後、発熱層と積層する方法を見出した。具体的には、電極の片面に粘着層を設け、該粘着層により電極を予め絶縁性基材に貼合した後、該絶縁性基材上に発熱層を形成する方法を見出し、本発明に至った。In order to increase the heat generation efficiency, the inventors decided to use metal foil with low electrical resistance as the material for the electrodes. They then discovered a method for fixing an electrode made of metal foil onto a heat generation layer, in which the electrode is fixed onto an insulating substrate and then laminated with the heat generation layer, rather than directly onto the heat generation layer.

[Insulating substrate]
The insulating substrate used in the sheet heating element of the present invention is a sheet-like insulating substrate having a strength sufficient for use. For example, an inorganic film such as a glass film or an organic film such as a thermoplastic resin film can be used as the insulating substrate. When the insulating substrate is a thermoplastic resin film, it is excellent in transparency, flexibility, processability, etc.
本発明でいう熱可塑性樹脂フィルムとは、熱によって溶融もしくは軟化するフィルムの総称であって、特に限定されるものではないが、代表的なものとして、ポリエチレンテレフタレートやポリブチレンテレフタレートなどのポリエステルフィルム、ポリプロピレンフィルムやポリエチレンフィルムなどのポリオレフィンフィルム、ポリ乳酸フィルム、ポリカーボネートフィルム、ポリメチルメタクリレートフィルムやポリスチレンフィルムなどのアクリル系フィルム、ナイロンなどのポリアミドフィルム、ポリ塩化ビニルフィルム、ポリウレタンフィルム、フッ素系フィルム、ポリフェニレンスルフィドフィルム、ポリイミドフィルム、ポリアミドイミドフィルムなどを用いることができる。耐熱性を考慮すると、ポリエチレンテレフタレートやポリブチレンテレフタレートなどのポリエステルフィルム、フッ素系フィルム、ポリフェニレンスルフィドフィルムを用いることが好ましく、入手のし易さ、種類の多さ、価格などを考慮するとポリエチレンテレフタレートやポリブチレンテレフタレートなどのポリエステルフィルム、特にポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルムが好ましい。The thermoplastic resin film in the present invention is a general term for films that melt or soften with heat, and is not particularly limited.

絶縁性基材の厚さは、使用する用途に応じた柔軟性が得られる範囲のものであれば特に制限されないが、例えば2.5μm~10mmの範囲であるとよい。可撓性と強度を考慮すると、10~500μm、特に100~300μmであることが好ましい。
また、この熱可塑性樹脂フィルム中には、各種添加剤、例えば、酸化防止剤、耐熱安定剤、耐候安定剤、紫外線吸収剤、有機の易滑剤、顔料、染料、有機または無機の微粒子、充填剤、帯電防止剤、核剤などがその特性を悪化させない程度に添加されていてもよい。
The thickness of the insulating base material is not particularly limited as long as it is within a range that provides flexibility according to the application, but it is preferably in the range of, for example, 2.5 μm to 10 mm. In consideration of flexibility and strength, it is preferably 10 to 500 μm, and more preferably 100 to 300 μm.
In addition, various additives such as antioxidants, heat stabilizers, weather stabilizers, ultraviolet absorbers, organic lubricants, pigments, dyes, organic or inorganic fine particles, fillers, antistatic agents, nucleating agents, etc. may be added to this thermoplastic resin film to the extent that they do not deteriorate its properties.
[電極]
本発明の電極は金属箔から成る。金属箔の種類は特に限定されるものではなく、例えば金箔、銀箔、銅箔、アルミニウム箔、錫箔、白金箔等を用いることができる。発熱効率に鑑みれば銀箔や銅箔を用いることが望ましい。また、アルミニウム箔は、安価に入手することができ、また電気抵抗値も比較的低いため、本発明の電極として特に適する。
本発明で電極として用いる金属箔の厚さは、5~1000μmが好ましく、特に10~200μmが好ましく、更には20~100μmが好ましい。金属箔が前述した厚さよりも薄いと、発熱層に十分な給電を行うことが困難となる。また前述した厚さよりも厚いと、電極上に発熱層を設けた際に、段差部分(図1におけるX)において、発熱層に亀裂が入る恐れがある。
[electrode]
The electrode of the present invention is made of a metal foil. The type of metal foil is not particularly limited, and for example, gold foil, silver foil, copper foil, aluminum foil, tin foil, platinum foil, etc. can be used. In view of heat generation efficiency, it is preferable to use silver foil or copper foil. Furthermore, aluminum foil is particularly suitable for the electrode of the present invention because it is inexpensive and has a relatively low electrical resistance.
The thickness of the metal foil used as the electrode in the present invention is preferably 5 to 1000 μm, more preferably 10 to 200 μm, and even more preferably 20 to 100 μm. If the metal foil is thinner than the above-mentioned thickness, it becomes difficult to supply sufficient power to the heat generating layer. Furthermore, if the thickness is thicker than the above-mentioned thickness, there is a risk that the heat generating layer will crack at the step portion (X in FIG. 1) when the heat generating layer is provided on the electrode.
[発熱層]
発熱層は、電力により発熱する層で、金属やカーボン等の導電性物質を含む。透明性を求められない用途においては、経済性並びに発熱効率の観点から、導電性物質としてカーボン系の材料を使用することが望ましい。詳しくは、カーボンブラック、カーボンナノチューブ(CNT)、カーボンナノファイバー、フラーレン、グラフェン、若しくはこれらの誘導体、又はこれらの混合物を用いることができる。高い電気伝導性を実現する観点から、カーボンナノチューブ及び/又はグラフェンを用いることが好ましい。
[Heat generating layer]
The heat generating layer is a layer that generates heat by electric power and contains a conductive material such as metal or carbon. In applications where transparency is not required, it is desirable to use a carbon-based material as the conductive material from the viewpoints of economy and heat generation efficiency. In particular, carbon black, carbon nanotubes (CNT), carbon nanofibers, fullerenes, graphene, or derivatives thereof, or mixtures thereof can be used. From the viewpoint of realizing high electrical conductivity, it is preferable to use carbon nanotubes and/or graphene.
発熱層に好適に用いられるカーボンナノチューブとしては、単層カーボンナノチューブ、二層カーボンナノチューブ、多層カーボンナノチューブ、又はこれらの混合物が挙げられる。カーボンナノチューブの平均の直径は、1nm~1μm程度であればよく、好ましくは1nm~50nmである。また平均の長さは、100nm~10mm程度であればよく、好ましくは500nm~100μm、より好ましくは500nm~10μmである。
発熱層に好適に用いられるグラフェン(酸化グラフェンを含む)は、シート構造の平均の長さと平均の幅との比が、1:0.1~1:10であればよく、好ましくは、1:0.5~1:5である。シート構造の平均の長さは、100nm~1000μmであればよく、好ましくは200nm~50μmである。
Carbon nanotubes suitable for use in the heat generating layer include single-walled carbon nanotubes, double-walled carbon nanotubes, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and mixtures thereof. The average diameter of the carbon nanotubes may be about 1 nm to 1 μm, and preferably 1 nm to 50 nm. The average length may be about 100 nm to 10 mm, and preferably 500 nm to 100 μm, and more preferably 500 nm to 10 μm.
The graphene (including graphene oxide) preferably used in the heat generating layer may have a ratio of the average length to the average width of the sheet structure of 1:0.1 to 1:10, preferably 1:0.5 to 1:5. The average length of the sheet structure may be 100 nm to 1000 μm, preferably 200 nm to 50 μm.
面状発熱体の表面温度は、導電性物質の種類や量、発熱層に供給される電力量等を調製することによりコントロールできる。発熱層への電力供給量の調整には、電極の幅や厚さ、電極の配線ピッチを変えることなども有効である。The surface temperature of the sheet heating element can be controlled by adjusting the type and amount of conductive material, the amount of power supplied to the heating layer, etc. Changing the width and thickness of the electrodes and the wiring pitch of the electrodes are also effective ways of adjusting the amount of power supplied to the heating layer.
本発明の発熱層には、必要に応じジエチレングリコール等の接着助剤を加えることもできる。当該接着助剤は基材フィルムと発熱層との密着性向上に寄与する。また発熱層を後述する印刷により形成する場合には、増粘剤等を用いてその粘度を調製することが望ましい。
更に、本発明の発熱層には、例えば、可塑剤、分散剤、塗面調整剤、流動性調整剤、紫外線吸収剤、保存安定剤、熱可塑性ポリマー、スリップ剤、レベリング剤、紫外線吸収剤、重合禁止剤、帯電防止剤、無機フィラー、有機フィラー、表面有機化処理した無機フィラー等の公知の添加剤を適宜配合することができる。
If necessary, an adhesive aid such as diethylene glycol can be added to the heat generating layer of the present invention. The adhesive aid contributes to improving the adhesion between the base film and the heat generating layer. In addition, when the heat generating layer is formed by printing as described below, it is desirable to adjust the viscosity of the layer using a thickener or the like.
Furthermore, the heat generating layer of the present invention may appropriately contain known additives such as plasticizers, dispersants, coating surface conditioners, flowability conditioners, ultraviolet absorbers, storage stabilizers, thermoplastic polymers, slip agents, leveling agents, ultraviolet absorbers, polymerization inhibitors, antistatic agents, inorganic fillers, organic fillers, and inorganic fillers that have been subjected to a surface organification treatment.
[粘着層]
粘着層を構成する粘着剤は、絶縁性基材上に金属箔からなる電極を固定することができれば特に限定されるものではないが、例えば、(メタ)アクリル酸エステルを主成分とし、さらに少量の、官能基を有する(メタ)アクリルモノマーを含有するアクリル系単量体組成物を重合開始剤の存在下ラジカル重合してなる、ガラス転移温度(Tg)が0℃以下のアクリル系樹脂と、架橋剤とを含有するアクリル系粘着剤が用いられる。
粘着層の厚さも特に限定されるものではないが、1~30μmであることが好ましく、特に2~20μm、更には3~8μmであることが好ましい。粘着層が厚すぎると、発熱層が粘着層の厚さに起因して、詳しくは図1における段差X部分で割れる恐れがある。また粘着層が薄すぎると、電極を絶縁性基材に十分に固定することが難しい。
[Adhesive layer]
The adhesive constituting the adhesive layer is not particularly limited as long as it can fix an electrode made of a metal foil on an insulating substrate. For example, an acrylic adhesive containing an acrylic resin having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 0° C. or less and a crosslinking agent, the acrylic resin being obtained by radically polymerizing an acrylic monomer composition containing a (meth)acrylic acid ester as a main component and a small amount of a (meth)acrylic monomer having a functional group in the presence of a polymerization initiator.
The thickness of the adhesive layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 to 30 μm, more preferably 2 to 20 μm, and even more preferably 3 to 8 μm. If the adhesive layer is too thick, the heat generating layer may crack due to the thickness of the adhesive layer, specifically at the step X in FIG. 1. If the adhesive layer is too thin, it is difficult to sufficiently fix the electrode to the insulating substrate.
[面状発熱体]
本発明の面状発熱体は、図1に示すように、絶縁性基材11、粘着層14、電極12、発熱層13を順に備える。電極12の大きさと粘着層14の大きさは、平面視において概ね一致することが好ましい。電極12に対し粘着層14が小さいと電極12に皺等が入る恐れがあり、電極12に対し粘着層14が大きいと異物が付着する原因となる恐れがある。
また本発明の面状発熱体は、図2に示すように、発熱層23の、絶縁性基材21と反対側の面に、カバーフィルム25を備えていてもよい。カバーフィルム25は、上述した絶縁性基材の中の一種を用いるとよい。カバーフィルム25は、例えば接着剤26により発熱層23を覆うように貼り合わされる。カバーフィルム25により、発熱層23が割れたり剥がれたりすることが抑制される。

[面状発熱体の製造方法]
本発明は面状発熱体の製造方法についても提案する。本発明の製造方法は、電極と粘着層とを積層し、電極/粘着層の積層体を製造する第一工程、前記粘着層でもって、前記電極を絶縁性基材に貼り合わせる第二工程、前記絶縁性基材の前記電極が積層された面に、発熱層を形成する第三工程、を順に備える。
[Method of manufacturing sheet heating element]
The present invention also proposes a method for producing a sheet heating element, which includes a first step of laminating an electrode and an adhesive layer to produce an electrode/adhesive layer laminate, a second step of bonding the electrode to an insulating substrate with the adhesive layer, and a third step of forming a heating layer on the surface of the insulating substrate on which the electrode is laminated.
[第一工程]
第一工程では、金属箔からなる電極と粘着層とを積層する。これは金属箔に粘着剤を塗工することにより行うことができる。しかしながら本発明では、粘着層を一旦、剥離フィルム上に形成した後、該粘着層を電極に転写する方法を提案する。該方法によると、非常に薄い粘着層であっても、簡単に電極の裏面に積層することができる。
[First step]
In the first step, an electrode made of a metal foil and an adhesive layer are laminated. This can be done by applying an adhesive to the metal foil. However, in the present invention, a method is proposed in which an adhesive layer is first formed on a release film, and then the adhesive layer is transferred to the electrode. With this method, even a very thin adhesive layer can be easily laminated on the back surface of the electrode.
粘着剤が上述したアクリル系粘着剤の場合、当該粘着剤を溶剤にて希釈したアクリル系粘着剤溶液を、剥離フィルムの上に塗工し、60~120℃で0.5~10分間程度加熱して有機溶媒を留去し、粘着層とすればよい。この粘着層に、前記の電極を貼合した後、たとえば温度23℃、湿度65%の雰囲気下、5~20日程度熟成させ、架橋剤(C)を十分反応させることが望ましい。剥離フィルムは、後述する第二工程に入る前に、取り除くとよい。When the adhesive is the acrylic adhesive described above, the adhesive is diluted with a solvent to form an acrylic adhesive solution, which is then coated onto a release film and heated at 60-120°C for 0.5-10 minutes to evaporate the organic solvent to form an adhesive layer. After laminating the electrode onto this adhesive layer, it is desirable to age the layer for 5-20 days in an atmosphere at a temperature of 23°C and a humidity of 65%, for example, to allow the crosslinking agent (C) to react sufficiently. The release film should be removed before proceeding to the second step described below.
また、剥離フィルムの上にアクリル系粘着溶液を塗工した後に、さらに剥離フィルムを積層して、粘着層が二枚の剥離フィルムに挟まれた積層フィルムを製造し、これを利用することもできる。当該積層体も、たとえば温度23℃、湿度65%の雰囲気下、5~20日程度熟成させ、架橋剤を十分反応させることが望ましい。当該積層フィルムは、片側の剥離フィルムを剥離して粘着層を電極に積層し、第二工程に移る前にもう一方の剥離フィルムを剥離するとよい。尚、当該積層フィルムとして、市販の「ノンキャリア粘着剤フィルム・シート」(リンテック株式会社製、日東電工株式会社製等)を用いることもできる。粘着層が二枚の剥離フィルムに挟まれた積層フィルムは、加工性に優れる為、特に好適に用いることができる。 It is also possible to use a laminated film in which the adhesive layer is sandwiched between two release films by coating an acrylic adhesive solution on a release film and then laminating the release film. It is also desirable to mature the laminate for about 5 to 20 days in an atmosphere of, for example, 23°C and 65% humidity to allow the crosslinking agent to react sufficiently. The release film on one side of the laminated film is peeled off to laminate the adhesive layer on the electrode, and the other release film is peeled off before moving to the second step. In addition, commercially available "non-carrier adhesive film/sheet" (manufactured by Lintec Corporation, Nitto Denko Corporation, etc.) can also be used as the laminated film. A laminated film in which the adhesive layer is sandwiched between two release films is particularly suitable for use because it has excellent processability.
[第二工程]
第二工程では、第一工程で積層された粘着層により、電極を絶縁性基材に貼り合わせる。図3は、絶縁性基材31上に電極32を貼り合わせた状態の一例を示す平面図である。尚、平面図ではあるが、電極部分が分かり易いように、電極部分にハッチングを付す。
[Second step]
In the second step, the electrode is attached to the insulating substrate by the adhesive layer laminated in the first step. Fig. 3 is a plan view showing an example of a state in which an
貼り合わせに先立ち、電極/粘着層の積層体は、所望の形状に整えられる。例えば、電極/粘着層をテープ状に切断するとよい。テープ状の電極/粘着層積層体を、図3に示す電極32の形状に配設してもよい。しかしながら当該作業は非常に煩雑である。また交点Yにおいて電極を繋ぐ必要がある為、Y部分において電気抵抗が高くなる恐れがある。そこで本発明では、シート状の電極/粘着層の積層体を製造し、これを電極の形状に打ち抜く方法を提案する。当該方法によると、電極の交点Yに繋ぎ目ができず、電気抵抗値の上昇を抑制できる。
尚、第一工程において、粘着層を一旦、剥離フィルム上に形成した後、該粘着層を電極に転写する方法を採用すると、電極/粘着層/剥離フィルムの積層体を得ることができる。よって、電極/粘着層の積層体を、剥離フィルムを付けた状態で、所望の形状に打ち抜くことができ、打ち抜き作業時の積層体のハンドリング性が向上する。
Prior to lamination, the electrode/adhesive layer laminate is trimmed into a desired shape. For example, the electrode/adhesive layer may be cut into a tape shape. The tape-shaped electrode/adhesive layer laminate may be arranged in the shape of the
In the first step, if a method is adopted in which the adhesive layer is once formed on a release film and then the adhesive layer is transferred to the electrode, a laminate of electrode/adhesive layer/release film can be obtained. Thus, the electrode/adhesive layer laminate can be punched into a desired shape with the release film attached, improving the handleability of the laminate during the punching operation.
電極/粘着層の積層体を所望の形状に整えた後、必要に応じ剥離フィルムを除去して、絶縁性基材に貼り合わせる。貼り合わせには、例えば三共(株)社製の枚葉貼合機HAL-TECを用いることができる。After the electrode/adhesive layer laminate is adjusted to the desired shape, the release film is removed as necessary and the laminate is bonded to an insulating substrate. For example, a sheet-fed bonding machine HAL-TEC manufactured by Sankyo Co., Ltd. can be used for bonding.
[第三工程]
第三工程では、絶縁性基材の前記電極が積層された面に、発熱層を形成する。金属やカーボン等の導電性物質を、厚みムラなく積層することができれば、その方法は特に限定されるものではないが、例えば、導電性物質と、界面活性剤や高分子化合物や分散剤等を、水や溶剤等の溶媒で希釈し、ロール・ツー・ロール式印刷またはスクリーン印刷等で、絶縁性基材の前記電極が積層された面に塗工すればよい。塗工後、溶媒を乾燥除去すれば、発熱層は完成する。
最後に、必要に応じ、カバーフィルムを積層する。カバーフィルムの積層には例えば接着剤を用いるとよい。また、予め裏面に粘着層を有する絶縁性フィルムを用いることもできる。
[Third step]
In the third step, a heat generating layer is formed on the surface of the insulating substrate on which the electrodes are laminated. As long as the conductive material such as metal or carbon can be laminated without unevenness in thickness, the method is not particularly limited. For example, the conductive material, surfactant, polymer compound, dispersant, etc. may be diluted with a solvent such as water or a solvent, and applied to the surface of the insulating substrate on which the electrodes are laminated by roll-to-roll printing or screen printing. After application, the solvent is dried and removed to complete the heat generating layer.
Finally, a cover film is laminated as necessary. For example, an adhesive may be used for laminating the cover film. Alternatively, an insulating film having an adhesive layer on the back side may be used.
以下、実施例により本発明を更に詳説に説明するが、本発明はこれらに限定されるものではない。The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these.

グラフェンの水分散液(グラフェン濃度20重量%)を絶縁性基材の電極が積層された面にスクリーン印刷にて塗工した。塗工量は46g/m2とした。分散液中の水を乾燥除去し、本発明の面状発熱体を得た。
<Third process>
An aqueous dispersion of graphene (graphene concentration: 20 wt%) was applied by screen printing to the surface of the insulating substrate on which the electrodes were laminated. The amount of application was 46 g/ m2 . The water in the dispersion was dried and removed to obtain a sheet heating element of the present invention.
[実施例2]
実施例2においては、グラフェンの水分散液(グラフェン濃度20重量%)に代えて、カーボンナノチューブの水分散液(カーボンナノチューブ濃度7重量%)を用いた以外は、実施例1と同様にして、面上発熱体を得た。
[Example 2]
In Example 2, a planar heating element was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that an aqueous dispersion of carbon nanotubes (concentration of carbon nanotubes: 7% by weight) was used instead of the aqueous dispersion of graphene (concentration of graphene: 20% by weight).
実施例1及び実施例2で得られた面状発熱体の電極に電圧を15V印加し、発熱層の表面温度を測定した。印加時間と表面温度の関係を図4に記す。
併せて、実施例1の面状発熱体の断面のSEM写真を図5に示す。電極42を覆う発熱層43は、電極42の端縁部分においても、電極42と密着していた。
A voltage of 15 V was applied to the electrodes of the sheet heating elements obtained in Examples 1 and 2, and the surface temperature of the heating layer was measured. The relationship between the application time and the surface temperature is shown in FIG.
5 shows an SEM photograph of a cross section of the sheet heating element of Example 1. The heating layer 43 covering the electrodes 42 was in close contact with the electrodes 42 even at the edge portions of the electrodes 42.
