More specifically, the magnetic powder may be sandblast particles having an Fe-Si-Al alloy composition.

As an example, the magnetic powder may have a composition represented by Formula 1 below.

[Formula 1]

Fe _1-abc Si _a X _b Y _c

In the above formula, X is Al, Cr, Ni, Cu, or a combination thereof; Y is Mn, B, Co, Mo, or a combination thereof; 0.01 ≤ a ≤ 0.2, 0.01 ≤ b ≤ 0.1, and 0 ≤ c ≤ 0.05.

The average particle diameter of the magnetic powder may be in the range of about 3 nm to about 1 mm, about 1 µm to 300 µm, about 1 µm to 50 µm, or about 1 µm to 10 µm.

For example, the polymer-type magnetic material contains the magnetic powder from 50% to 99% by weight, from 70% to 95% by weight, from 70% to 90% by weight, from 75% to 90% by weight, from 75% by weight to It may be included in an amount of 95% by weight, 80% by weight to 95% by weight, or 80% by weight to 90% by weight.

The binder resin may be a curable resin. Specifically, the binder resin may include a photocurable resin, a thermosetting resin, and/or a high heat-resistant thermoplastic resin, and preferably a thermosetting resin.

As a resin capable of being cured and exhibiting adhesiveness as described above, it includes at least one functional group or moiety capable of curing by heat such as a glycidyl group, an isocyanate group, a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group or an amide group; Or it contains one or more functional groups or moieties that can be cured by active energy such as an epoxide group, a cyclic ether group, a sulfide group, an acetal group or a lactone group. You can use the resin. Such a functional group or moiety may be, for example, an isocyanate group, a hydroxyl group or a carboxyl group.

Specifically, the curable resin may be a polyurethane resin, an acrylic resin, a polyester resin, an isocyanate resin, or an epoxy resin having at least one or more functional groups or moieties as described above, but is not limited thereto.

As an example, the binder resin may include a polyurethane-based resin, an isocyanate-based curing agent, and an epoxy-based resin.

The polymeric magnetic material may contain the binder resin in an amount of 5% to 40% by weight, 5% to 20% by weight, 5% to 15% by weight, or 7% to 15% by weight.

The polymeric magnetic material may be prepared by a sheeting process such as mixing magnetic powder and a polymer resin composition into a slurry, molding into a sheet, and curing, but a large-area polymeric magnetic material having a certain thickness is prepared. In order to do this, a block can be manufactured by molding using a mold.

A conventional sheeting or blocking method may be applied to the manufacturing method.

Nanocrystalline magnetic material

The magnetic material may include a nanocrystalline magnetic material.

When the nanocrystalline magnetic material is applied, the coil's inductance (Ls) decreases as the distance from the coil increases, but the resistance (Rs) decreases further, thereby increasing the quality factor (Q factor: Ls/Rs) of the coil. Charging efficiency can be improved and heat generation can be reduced.

For example, the nanocrystalline magnetic material may be an Fe-based nanocrystalline magnetic material, specifically, a Fe-Si-Al-based nanocrystalline magnetic material, a Fe-Si-Cr-based nanocrystalline magnetic material, or Fe It may be a Si-B-Cu-Nb-based nanocrystalline magnetic material.

More specifically, the nanocrystalline magnetic material may be a Fe-Si-B-Cu-Nb-based nanocrystalline magnetic material, in which case, Fe is 70% to 85%, and the sum of Si and B is 10 Element% to 29 element%, and the sum of Cu and Nb may be 1 element% to 5 element% (here, the element% means the percentage of the number of specific elements relative to the total number of elements constituting the magnetic material). In the above composition range, an Fe-Si-B-Cu-Nb-based alloy can be easily formed into a nanocrystalline magnetic material by heat treatment.

The nanocrystalline magnetic material is prepared by, for example, a rapid cooling solidification method (RSP) by melt spinning of an Fe-based alloy, and is non-magnetic for 30 minutes to 2 hours at a temperature range of 300°C to 700°C to obtain a desired magnetic permeability. It can be manufactured by performing intestinal heat treatment.

If the heat treatment temperature is less than 300°C, nanocrystals are not sufficiently formed, so that the desired permeability is not obtained, and the heat treatment time may take a long time, and if the heat treatment temperature exceeds 700°C, the permeability may be significantly lowered by superheat treatment. In addition, when the heat treatment temperature is low, it takes a long treatment time, and on the contrary, if the heat treatment temperature is high, the treatment time is preferably shortened.

Meanwhile, the nanocrystalline magnetic material is difficult to make a thick thickness in a manufacturing process, and may be formed as a thin film sheet having a thickness of, for example, 15 µm to 35 µm. Therefore, it is possible to form a magnetic material by stacking several such thin-film sheets. In this case, an adhesive layer such as an adhesive tape may be inserted between the thin film sheets. In addition, the magnetic material may be crushed by a pressure roll or the like at a later stage of the manufacturing process to form a plurality of cracks in the thin film sheet, thereby manufacturing a plurality of nanocrystalline fine pieces.

Area and thickness of magnetic material

The magnetic material may be a magnetic sheet, a magnetic sheet laminate, or a magnetic block.

The magnetic material may have a large area, and specifically, may have an area of 200 cm ² or more, 400 cm ² or more, or 600 cm ² or more. In addition, the magnetic material may have an area of ^{10,000 cm 2 or less.}

The large-area magnetic material may be configured by combining a plurality of unit magnetic materials, and in this case, the area of the unit magnetic material may be 60 cm ² or more, 90 cm ² , or 95 cm ² to 900 cm ² .

The thickness of the magnetic sheet may be 15 µm or more, 50 µm or more, 80 µm or more, 15 µm to 150 µm, 15 µm to 35 µm, or 85 µm to 150 µm. Such a magnetic sheet may be manufactured by a method of manufacturing a conventional film or sheet.

The stacked body of the magnetic sheet may be a stack of 20 or more magnetic sheets, or 50 or more magnetic sheets. In addition, the stacked body of the magnetic sheet may be a stack of 150 or less, or 100 or less magnetic sheets.

The thickness of the magnetic block may be 1 mm or more, 2 mm or more, 3 mm or more, or 4 mm or more. In addition, the thickness of the magnetic block may be 6 mm or less.

Magnetic properties of magnetic materials

The magnetic material may have a certain level of magnetic properties in the vicinity of a standard frequency for wireless charging of an electric vehicle.

The standard frequency of wireless charging of the electric vehicle may be less than 100 kHz, for example, 79 kHz to 90 kHz, specifically 81 kHz to 90 kHz, and more specifically about 85 kHz, which may be used in mobile electronic devices such as mobile phones. It is a band that is distinct from the applied frequency.

In the frequency band of 79 kHz to 90 kHz of the magnetic material, the magnetic permeability may vary depending on the material, but may be 5 or more, for example, 5 to 150,000, and 5 to 300, 500 to 3,500, or 10,000 to 150,000 depending on the specific material. Can be In addition, the investment loss in the frequency band of 79 kHz to 90 kHz of the magnetic material may vary depending on the material, but may be 0 or more, for example, 0 to 50,000, and 0 to 1,000, 1 to 100, 100 to 1,000, or 5,000 to 50,000.

As an example, when the magnetic material is a polymer magnetic block containing magnetic powder and a binder resin, the magnetic permeability in the frequency band of 79 kHz to 90 kHz may be 5 to 130, 15 to 80, or 10 to 50, and the investment The loss can be 0 to 20, 0 to 15, or 0 to 5.

As another example, when the magnetic material is a sintered ferritic material, the magnetic permeability may be 1,000 to 5,000, or 2,000 to 4,000 in the frequency band of 79 kHz to 90 kHz, and the investment loss may be 0 to 1,000, 0 to 100, or It can be from 0 to 50.

As another example, when the magnetic material is a nanocrystalline magnetic material, the magnetic permeability in the frequency band of 79 kHz to 90 kHz may be 500 to 3,000, or 10,000 to 150,000, and the investment loss may be 100 to 1,000, or 8,000 to Can be 50,000.

Magnetic material properties

The polymeric magnetic material may be stretched at a certain rate. For example, the elongation rate of the polymer magnetic material may be 0.5% or more. The elongation property is difficult to obtain in a ceramic-based magnetic material that does not apply a polymer, and damage can be reduced even if a large-area magnetic material is distorted due to impact. Specifically, the elongation rate of the polymer magnetic material may be 0.5% or more, 1% or more, or 2.5% or more. There is no particular limitation on the upper limit of the elongation, but when the content of the polymer resin is increased to improve the elongation, since properties such as inductance of the magnetic material may be deteriorated, the elongation is preferably 10% or less.

The magnetic material has a small rate of change in properties before and after impact, and is superior to a general sintered ferrite magnetic sheet.

In the present specification, the rate of change in properties before and after impact (%) can be calculated by the following equation.

Characteristic change rate (%)=|characteristic value before impact-characteristic value after impact|/characteristic value before impact×100

For example, the magnetic material may have an inductance change rate of less than 5% or less than 3% before and after an impact applied by free fall from a height of 1 m. More specifically, the inductance change rate may be 0% to 3%, 0.001% to 2%, or 0.01% to 1.5%. When within the above range, the rate of change of inductance before and after impact is relatively small, so that the stability of the magnetic material may be further improved.

In addition, the magnetic material may have a rate of change of the quality factor (Q factor) before and after the impact applied by free fall from a height of 1 m from 0% to 5%, from 0.001% to 4%, or from 0.01% to 2.5%. When within the above range, there is little change in properties before and after impact, so that the stability and impact resistance of the magnetic material may be more improved.

In addition, the magnetic material may have a resistance change rate of 0% to 2.8%, 0.001% to 1.8%, or 0.1% to 1.0% before and after the impact applied by free fall from a height of 1 m. When within the above range, even if repeatedly applied in an environment where actual shock and vibration are applied, the resistance value can be well maintained below a certain level.

In addition, the magnetic material may have a rate of change of charging efficiency before and after the impact applied by free falling from a height of 1 m from 0% to 6.8%, from 0.001% to 5.8%, or from 0.01% to 3.4%. When it is within the above range, even if the large-area magnetic material repeatedly experiences impact or warping, the characteristics can be more stably maintained.

(1) elongation

The elongation rate was measured using a UTM device (INSTRON 5982, INSTRON) for a sample of 70 μm in thickness before impact by the method of ASTM D412 Type C.

(2) Characteristics before/after impact

After applying an impact by free-falling the sample from a height of 1 m, the characteristics before and after the impact were calculated by the following equation.

Characteristic change rate (%)=|characteristic value before impact-characteristic value after impact|/characteristic value before impact×100

Inductance was measured using an LCR Meter (IM3533, HIOKI).

Resistance was measured using an LCR Meter (IM3533, HIOKI).

The quality factor (Q factor) was calculated by the equation of inductance x frequency x 2π/resistance.

Charging efficiency was measured under conditions of output power of 1000W and frequency of 85 kHz.

As shown in Table 1, the elongation of the ferrite sheet of Comparative Example was 0%, while the magnetic material of Preparation Example 1 had an elongation of 3%. In addition, the magnetic material of Preparation Example 1 not only has excellent properties before impact in terms of inductance, quality factor, and resistance, but also has excellent impact resistance properties since the rate of change after impact is measured in the range of 0 to 1%. On the other hand, the ferrite sheet of the comparative example was measured to have a high rate of change after impact in terms of inductance, quality factor, and resistance, and in particular, the rate of change (reduction rate) of charging efficiency was measured as high as 3%. From this, it was confirmed that the magnetic material of Preparation Example 1 compared to the conventional ferrite sheet is suitable for the wireless charging device in an environment where impact is easily applied during the driving process, such as an electric vehicle.
