- the primary film 23 is arranged in a stripe pattern with predetermined intervals and engaged with the surface layer of the work 3 so that the primary film 23 is adhered to the work 3 firmly.
- inorganic or organic paint coating is applied or adsorbed onto the suboxide or oxide deposited on the work 3 .
- a spraying method of coating with the coating gun 19 is adopted as an applying or adsorbing method of the coating, but other techniques may also be adopted.

- the work 3 is suspended on, for example, an appropriate jig 25 .
- the paint applied to the work 3 in the manner as described above is adhered to the surface of the primary film 23 of the suboxide or oxide, and then dried by heating and hardening.
- the forming state of the coating, which is the secondary film 24 is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 .
- the thin primary film 23 which is the suboxide or oxide deposited on the work 3 , is used instead of primers that have been frequently used for conventional coating. Every fine particle or crystal of the coating is disposed on the primary film 23 independently and with high density.

- the film is formed thin, having a thickness of 5 ⁇ m, which is one-fifth to one-third of the conventional ones.

- the impregnation of the work 3 and the primary film 23 , and the impregnation of the primary film 23 and the secondary film 24 promote integration thereof. Accordingly, since they are adhered firmly and rigidly, peeling and cracking thereof can be prevented even when the primary film 23 and secondary film 24 are bent.

A carbon material is coated or impregnated on a surface layer of a work. The work can deposit a suboxide or oxide containing metal ions. A porous primary film is formed on the surface layer of the work. The carbon film is coated or impregnated on an irregular part of the surface layer of the primary film.
Description
- This is a divisional application of application Ser. No. 16/103,515, filed Aug. 14, 2018, the contents of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to a carbon film coating structure for a work and a carbon film coating method for a work, in which a carbon material such as a carbon nanotube (hereinafter simply referred to as “CNT”) is applied to the work for coating thereof with high density and high integration so that it has an outstanding electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, heat resistance, high strength and flexibility owing to the characteristics of the carbon, and in which a carbon such as CNT is applied to the work for coating thereof easily and inexpensively, and with high density and high integration.
- Carbon nanotube has been drawing attention as a compound having not only a high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, but also outstanding physical properties.
- Since the development, however, CNT has hardly been used as a concrete product or a part until today, and development as a practical technology, that can be utilized in various industrial fields, has been desired.
- Under the above-mentioned circumstance, the present inventor tackled with various technical developments that make good use of the characteristics of CNT.
- One example is a mixing method in which CNT is mixed to a painting material and ink. However, this method for mixing CNT to a painting material and ink had such a disadvantage that viscosity is increased, thereby decreasing the painting performance. Therefore, the limit of practical use was 5% for CNT to be mixed and thus, its use was limited.
- In general, it has been considered that as long as the painting material is dispersible, it would probably be industrialized and would also be spread easily. However, the dispersing technique of CNT was difficult to achieve. Particularly, there was a limit in uniformity and density of CNT. Moreover, difficulty of optimization with polymer paint depending on the type of carbon existed. Furthermore, difficulty in production and maintenance of the paint was also very high. Those disadvantages made it difficult for CNT to spread widely into the market.
- Next example is the “co-precipitation method” using a plating technique. If CNT can be successfully dispersed in a plating solution and precipitated therein, it should spread as industrial use.
- However, the CNT co-precipitation method has such a low CNT precipitation ratio as less than 1% and is far from the practical-use technology. Moreover, it had such additional inconveniences that the dispersing state of CNT in the plating solution is difficult to maintain, the limit of the impregnating ratio of CNT in the depositing film is so low as approximately 15/1000, distribution on the depositing film is uneven, and management and maintenance of the composition of the plating solution are difficult, thereby preventing the spread of this co-precipitation method as industrial use.
- Another example is a “kneading method”, in which the CTN is mixed with a rubber and the like. It was expected that CNT is added to rubber about 10%, so that they are kneaded to a stable dispersing structure. However, it gave rise to such problems that reliability in quality of the product was difficult to obtain due to difficulty in maintenance of the characteristics of the rubber, and it is difficult to optimize the conditions for characterization due to correlation between the CNT dispersing technique and impurities contained in the materials. Therefore, its spreading as industrial use was hindered.
- Moreover, despite various efforts taken in a manner as mentioned above, CNT did not spread because various problems could not be solved such as: adhesion to the work (raw material) is poor and the dispersing state of CNT is reduced in quality in a short time, thus making it unable to solve the above-mentioned problems.
- Furthermore, each of the above-mentioned techniques was a usage limited to very narrow applications. In this usage, CNT was used for the purpose of improving the poor characteristics of the raw material. It was not a usage for effectively using the valuable characteristics inherent to CNT, such as high electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and heat resistance as they are.
- Thus, the present inventor thought up a novel method, which is entirely different from any of the above-mentioned methods, by means of effectively combining his own techniques with CNT.
- Specifically, the present inventor developed a film forming structure on a work, in which an impregnation layer formed by a thin primary film, which consists of a suboxide or oxide including a metal, is formed on a surface of the work, the primary film is formed to have a porous film, and the primary film is impregnated with a secondary film consisting of any one of a polymeric material, an inorganic or organic paint, a functional material or ceramics, and already proposed it in the form of P2015-118459 (see, for example, JP-A-2017-1312).
- Then, the present inventor worked out, based on the above-mentioned (or proposed) technique, a novel film formation, which is obtained by laminating a CNT dispersing solution in multi-layers on the porous primary layer in accordance with the dipping method or coating method, and when it is required to add more functions, a functional film is laminated to form a novel film.
- At that time, it was presumed that fine grains or crystals of the secondary film are disposed independently and with high density at an irregular part of the primary film, and a metal material and carbon material are used as the functional material.
- Therefore, when CNT is used as the carbon material, it becomes important how CNT is disposed with high density and high integration in order to form a dense carbon layer, and how to select CNT which is compatible with the primary film. Moreover, it also becomes important how to select the dispersing agent which is compatible with the selected CNT and how to select the content ratio, and how to design and manufacture the apparatus in an optimal state.
- Conventionally, there is a known method for manufacturing a heat radiating plate as a method for forming a carbon material with high density and high integration, in which, for example, CNT is coated by dipping a heat radiating fin of the heat radiating plate in a bath containing a solvent with the CNT dispersed therein so as to adhere the CNT to the surface of the heat radiating fin, the resultant is heated to approximately 80 to 95° C. and dried, and then, repeating the dipping and drying process (see, for example, JP-A-2007-19453).
- However, the above-mentioned CNT coating method had such problems that since the surface of the heat radiating fin is smooth, the solvent with the CNT dispersed is difficult to adhere to the surface of the heat radiating fin, its attachment is not uniformly made, thereby making it difficult to obtain density, and CNT is difficult to be coated uniformly.
- Also, there is another known method for manufacturing a hard active carbon adhesive agent, in which, porous particles such as alumina are used as a basic body, and this basic body, as a flowing medium, is put into various incinerators, and unburnt tar or unburnt hydrocarbon components generated during combustion of raw materials are captured in pores of the basic body due to capacity effect of the porous holes, and then, the basic body is heated at a temperature of 500 to 1200° C. under no oxide atmosphere, so that the carbon is coated to the inner surface of each hole and the outer surface of the basic body (see, for example, JP-A-2005-213056).
- However, the above-mentioned manufacturing method had such problems that an expensive large equipment of the incinerator and no oxide atmosphere is required, and during the manufacturing process, the unburned tar and unburned hydrocarbon components are difficult to be captured in the pores and various cumbersome steps are required, thereby requiring much time and labor.

In
FIGS. 1 through 9 ,reference numeral 1 denotes a bath, which receives atreatment liquid 2 or electrolyte therein. - The

treatment liquid 2 is not frozen. In the basic form, the temperature is adjusted from −5 to 10° C. Thework 3 which is a cathode piece, a metal chromium or ananode piece 4 which is a soluble electrode, and a carbon or lead which is an insoluble electrode are soaked and placed in thetreatment liquid 2.Wirings power unit 8 via acontroller unit 7 having a function of rectification.

work 3, but the work may not be limited to a metal piece and it may be any one of nickel, iron, copper, aluminum, brass, other metals, alloy, synthetic resin, glass, ceramics, paper, fiber, or wood on which an oxide or a suboxide may be deposited. - A cooling

One end of the treatment-liquid introduction pipe 15 is provided, in a submerged manner, into thetreatment liquid 2 in thebath 1, and aliquid feed pump 17 for sucking thetreatment liquid 2 is inserted in the treatment-liquid introduction pipe 15. Further, one end of the treatment-liquid discharge pipe 16 is connected to thefilter 14 and the other end thereof is connected to the lower part of thebath 1 via acheck valve 18. -
FIG. 4 shows a state in which an oxide composed of a low temperature black chrome (hereinafter referred to as “CBC”), which is the primary film, is deposited on thework 3 and then a coating is formed by spraying a synthetic resin paint, which is the secondary film, on the primary film.Reference numeral 19 denotes a small coating gun used for spraying. Thecoating gun 19 includes acylindrical paint tank 20 provided to stand obliquely at the side of the nozzle of thecoating gun 19 and acompressed air conduit 21 connected to the lower part of thecoating gun 19. - Then, a paint in the
paint tank 20 is readily sprayable onto theprimary film 23 deposited on thework 3 via operation of atrigger 22. In the basic form, chromium suboxide CrO3 is deposited on thework 3 as the suboxide which is theprimary film 23. - Other methods for forming the coating which is the secondary film include: a method for applying with the use of a brush or roller; a baking finish technique in which a paint is heated and hardened; a dip coating technique in which the
work 3 with the primary film is dipped in the paint; an electrodeposition coating technique in which thework 3 in a water paint is coated by applying static electricity of opposite polarity; and an electrostatic coating technique in which a coating is electrically adsorbed on thework 3 by charging thework 3 and a spray-form paint with opposite polarity. Out of those processes or techniques, the best one may be selected in accordance with the working conditions. - Next, the suboxide which is the
primary film 23, or chromium oxide Cr2O3 which is the oxide of the suboxide is firstly deposited on thework 3. Then the coating which is thesecondary film 24 is formed on theprimary film 23. - When the suboxide which is the
primary film 23, or chromium oxide Cr2O3 which is the oxide of the suboxide is deposited on thework 3, and then a coating which is thesecondary film 24 is formed on theprimary film 23. - Firstly, when a suboxide which is the
primary film 23 and a chromium oxide Cr2O3, which is the oxide or the suboxide, are to be deposited on thework 3, thebath 1 for receiving thetreatment liquid 2, thework 3 which is a cathode piece, and theanode piece 4 is prepared and then a predetermined voltage is applied to thework 3 and theanode piece 4. Thepower unit 8 which is capable of exerting a predetermined current density thereto and thecontroller unit 7 for controlling thepower unit 8 are mounted on the above components. Further, the coolingbath 9 is placed in a position adjacent to thebath 1. - The cooling
bath 9 is equipped with thecooling apparatus 10 and therefrigerant pipe 11 is provided in thecooling bath 9. The treatmentliquid introduction pipe 15 is provided at the upper position of the coolingbath 9 and the treatmentliquid discharge pipe 16 is provided at a lower part of the coolingbath 9. Theliquid feed pump 17 is inserted in the treatmentliquid introduction pipe 15. One end of the treatmentliquid introduction pipe 15 is provided in thetreatment liquid 2 in thebath 1, and one end of the treatmentliquid discharge pipe 16 is connected to the lower part of thebath 1 via thecheck valve 18. - The
treatment liquid 2 is then prepared. Thetreatment liquid 2 has the composition of 300 to 400 g/l of chromic anhydride CrO3, 5 to 10 g/l of sodium silicofluoride NaSiF6 which is a reduction inhibitor, and 2 to 5 g/l of barium acetate C4H6O4Ba, and thetreatment liquid 2 is received in thebath 1. - In this case, sodium silicofluoride and barium acetate in the
treatment liquid 2 inhibit a flow of electricity, inhibiting deposition of metal chromium Cr on the surface of thework 3 and promoting deposition of chromium suboxide CrO3 which is the suboxide. - The
work 3 and theanode piece 4 are received in thebath 1, thewirings controller unit 7 and thepower unit 8. Thepower unit 8 is turned on to apply a predetermined voltage, and the current density of thework 3 and theanode piece 4 is adjusted via thecontroller unit 7. In this basic form, the current density of thework 3 and theanode piece 4 is adjusted to 20 A/dm2. - Then, the
liquid feed pump 17 is started to suck thetreatment liquid 2 in thebath 1 and thetreatment liquid 2 sucked is sent to thecooling bath 9. Further, thecooling apparatus 10 is started to drive thecompressor 12 and circulate the refrigerant to therefrigerant pipe 11. Thetreatment liquid 2 in thecooling bath 9 is then cooled and sent to the lower part of thebath 1 from the treatmentliquid discharge pipe 16. - In this way, the
treatment liquid 2 in thebath 1 is cooled and, in the basic form, the bath temperature is adjusted to 10° C. or below. In this case, in order to deposit a predetermined suboxide, the bath temperature should preferably be adjusted to 0° C. or below so that thetreatment liquid 2 is not frozen. In the basic form, the temperature is adjusted from −5 to 10° C. - In this way, when voltage is applied to the
work 3 and theanode piece 4, hydrogen gas is generated on the side of thework 3 and moved up in thetreatment liquid 2 and then released into the atmosphere, while oxygen gas is generated on the side of theanode piece 4 and moved up in thetreatment liquid 2 and then released into the atmosphere. - Chromic anhydride, which is the main component of
treatment liquid 2, is ionized at theanode piece 4, and the chromate ions are separated from theanode piece 4. The separated chromate ions are moved and dispersed in thetreatment liquid 2 and moved toward the interface of thework 3. Then, the chromate ions are reduced to trivalent chromium. The trivalent chromium is deposited on the interface of thework 3. - At that time, trivalent chromium is deposited on the interface of the
work 3 based on the metal Cr. The deposited metal Cr is coupled with chromium suboxide CrO3 which is thesuboxide 23, and then the metal Cr and chromium suboxide are adhered thereon in sequence to form a suboxide film. When the thickness of the film reaches 1 to 2 μm, conductivity of the suboxide film is lost and formation of the suboxide is stopped thereafter - The chromium suboxide film has semi-gross black color and a thin film with a thickness of 1 to 2 μm. Thereafter, the chromium suboxide film is combined with oxygen in the atmosphere and changed into an oxide of Cr2O3, thus making the more rigid primary film.
- When depositing the suboxide film, the bath temperature is adjusted to such a low temperature as 10° C. or below. In the basic form, the temperature is adjusted to such a range as from −5 to 10° C. The current is inhibited by sodium silicofluoride and barium acetate in the
treatment liquid 2. Further, since the current density of thework 3 and theanode piece 4 is set to 20 A/dm2, deposition of metal chromium Cr on thework 3 can be inhibited. - Thus, the
primary film 23 composed of the suboxide is presumed to be softer than the metal Cr and have a lower conductivity. - The inventor of the present invention checked the components of the deposited suboxide film by quantitative analysis using an Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA 1720) of SHIMAZU CORPORATION. The following data was obtained: C: 24.91%; O: 18.82%; Si: 35.75%; Cr: 11.16%; and Ni: 9.36%. This data shows that deposition of Cr is inhibited.
- Next, the present inventor checked the surface state of the
primary film 23 using a super resolution field emission type scanning electron microscope (SU-10) of Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation. The same results were obtained as those shown inFIGS. 3(a) and 3(b) through 8 and 11 of JP-A-2017-1312. - Among them,
FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b) are photograph images of the surface states after 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 20 minutes from the initiation of deposition of the suboxide which is theprimary film 23 at the bath temperature of −5° C. and the current density of 20 A/dm2, with magnification of 10K, 20K, 50K, and 100K (K:×1000). Plural masses or granular structures appear on each state, and these structures grow as time passes from the deposition and clearances thereof also increase. It was observed that irregularities were distributed and clearly formed. -
FIG. 4 is photograph images of the surface states after 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 20 minutes from the initiation of deposition of the suboxide which is theprimary film 23 at the bath temperature of 15° C. and the current density of 20 A/dm2, with magnification of 10K, 20K, 50K, and 100K. Plural grains or scale-like structures appear on each state, and these structures increase and grow as time passes from the deposition and clearances thereof also increase. Thus, distribution of irregularities was observed. -
FIG. 5 is a photograph image of the surface state after 20 minutes from the initiation of deposition of theprimary film 23 at the bath temperature of −5° C., with a magnification of 100K. The size of the masses or granular structures are shown with a reference scale for comparison. The masses or granular structures with the size of 25 to 200 nm were observed. -
FIG. 6 is a photograph image of the surface state after 20 minutes from the initiation of deposition of the suboxide at the bath temperature of 15° C., with magnification of 100K. The size of the structures of grains or folds is shown with a reference scale for comparison. The structures of grains or folds with the width of 25 to 50 nm and the length of 400 to 650 nm were observed. - Additionally,
FIG. 7 includes photograph images of the surface state ofFIG. 5 , taken by a scanning microscope, with a magnification of 10 to 50K. It was observed that the suboxide film had a fine-porous structure, the surface was formed like a cake with minute irregularities or sponge, and the surface had many irregularities with the size of 50 to 200 nm. -
FIG. 8 shows a photograph image of a cross section of the suboxide or theprimary film 23 inFIG. 3 of the publication. It was observed that minute irregularities were formed on the surface of theprimary film 23 covering the surface of thework 3. - As seen from the above, the surface of the
work 3 may be represented schematically as shown inFIG. 2 . As shown inFIG. 3 (a) , 3 (b), which is further enlarged images ofFIG. 2 , since various irregularities and serrations formed on the surface of thework 3 are engaged with the irregularities of the porousprimary film 23, theprimary film 23 seems to be adhered and deposited on thework 3 intimately. - This state is shown, in a further enlarged scale, in
FIG. 11 of the publication. Theprimary film 23 is arranged in a stripe pattern with predetermined intervals and engaged with the surface layer of thework 3 so that theprimary film 23 is adhered to thework 3 firmly. - In other words, an impregnation layer made of the
primary film 23 is formed on the surface of thework 3 so that thework 3 is integral with theprimary film 23. Accordingly, theprimary film 23 is adhered to the surface layer of thework 3 rigidly and intimately, thus preventing theprimary film 23 from peeling and cracking. Further, thesecondary film 24 is formed on the porous structure of theprimary film 23 firmly and rigidly so that peeling of thesecondary film 24 is prevented. - Next, in the case of forming a coating, which is the
secondary film 24, on thework 3, inorganic or organic paint coating is applied or adsorbed onto the suboxide or oxide deposited on thework 3. - In the basic form, a spraying method of coating with the
coating gun 19 is adopted as an applying or adsorbing method of the coating, but other techniques may also be adopted. - In this case, since oxygen has the capability to penetrate the coating, the coating may be formed immediately after formation of the
primary film 23 or formed later on. Ultimately, as long as it only has to form a coating on the rigid oxide, the timing of the coating formation has nothing to do with the quality. - Thus, the surface of the suboxide or oxide of the
primary film 23 deposited on thework 3 before forming the coating is cleaned and dried. Thework 3 is suspended on, for example, anappropriate jig 25. - Then a desired paint is filled in the
paint tank 20 of thecoating gun 19. By holding thecoating gun 19 with the compressed-air duct 21 connected to a lower part thereof, the paint is sprayed via an operation of thetrigger 22, aiming the nozzle toward thework 3. This state is shown inFIG. 4 . - In this way, the paint applied to the
work 3 in the manner as described above is adhered to the surface of theprimary film 23 of the suboxide or oxide, and then dried by heating and hardening. In this case, the forming state of the coating, which is thesecondary film 24, is shown inFIGS. 5 and 6 . - More specifically, when forming the coating of the
secondary film 24, the thinprimary film 23, which is the suboxide or oxide deposited on thework 3, is used instead of primers that have been frequently used for conventional coating. Every fine particle or crystal of the coating is disposed on theprimary film 23 independently and with high density. - At that time, the coating needs to be formed basically only once, and such time and labor consuming operation as under coating, intermediate coating and top coating, that are required in the conventional technique, is no more required. The film is formed thin, having a thickness of 5 μm, which is one-fifth to one-third of the conventional ones. The thin film is engaged with the minute irregularities of the
primary film 23 so as to achieve an intimate adhesion. Thus, the amount of the paint used is reduced and the coating is formed more rapidly compared with the conventional coating method, and whereby the coating is formed in a rational manner and at low cost. - In this case, by virtue of the porous structure of the
primary film 23, the plural irregularities or holes of the surface function like a chopstick holder, and a coating, which is thesecondary film 24, is converged and embedded among the irregularities or holes. Accordingly, the arrangement density of the coating can be adjusted by the holes, polymer chains of the synthetic resin coating can be adjusted, and thereby distributing thesecondary film 24 with high density and adhering thesecondary film 24 firmly onto the irregularities and holes. - An impregnation layer of the
secondary film 24 is formed on the surface layer of theprimary film 23. Since thesecondary film 24 is integral with theprimary film 23, thesecondary film 24 is prevented from peeling. The porous structure of the primary film makes thesecondary film 24 to be adhered firmly and rigidly. - As described above, in the basic form, the impregnation of the
work 3 and theprimary film 23, and the impregnation of theprimary film 23 and thesecondary film 24 promote integration thereof. Accordingly, since they are adhered firmly and rigidly, peeling and cracking thereof can be prevented even when theprimary film 23 andsecondary film 24 are bent. - Moreover, since the suboxide or oxide has insulation properties, so that a current does not pass through the
work 3 via the suboxide or oxide even when the coating is made thinner. As a result, corrosion due to potential difference does not occur, thereby improving corrosion resistance. - Furthermore, since the
primary film 23 is porous and flexible, the fine particles of the coating easily enter and byte into thework 3, and disengagement from thework 3 is prevented. The film is reliably embedded and functions like an anchor component so that the coating is formed firmly and rigidly. Connection with the other coating applied thereon is also promoted to form the coating in a rational manner. - In addition, since grains and crystals of the coating are respectively disposed independently and with high density, even when a stress is applied to a part of the grains and crystals, the rest of the grains and crystals is not affected. Thus, when the
work 3 is bent as shown inFIGS. 7 and 8 after formation of the coating, the stress is dispersed. Further, peeling or cracking of the coating does not occur even when the surface of the coating is damaged. - Thus, the
work 3 with the coating already formed thereon has a good workability, and is preferably subjected to various processing techniques. The surface of the coating was cut in a lattice pattern, and peeling of a cross-cut piece was tested. No peeling was observed and the coating with high adhesion was observed. - On the other hand,
FIG. 9 shows the outline of a state of the formation of aconventional coating 24. The grains and crystals of thecoating 27 are disposed loosely and with low density. To prevent corrosion caused by potential difference, such as pinholes, a very thick coating having a thickness of, for example, 50 to 100 μm, is required. Such coating is formed by applying theprimer 26 to thework 3 and then applying thecoating 24 in layers. - Accordingly, the above coating process requires much time and labor, and the amount of paint used is also increased, whereby the working cost is increased. As described above, the grains and crystals of the
coating 24 are not independent and loosely disposed at low density, so that when a stress is applied to a part of the grains and crystals, it is also prevailed to the rest of the grains and crystals. When thework 3 is bent or the surface of the coating is damaged after formation of the coating, thecoating 27 is peeled off and cracked, thus resulting in poor workability. - In the above-mentioned basic form, an electroplating technique based on the electrochemical action is adopted as a deposition method of the
primary film 23 on thework 3. Other deposition techniques that can be applied include an electroless plating. If additives such as nickel sulfate which is an agent for supplying metal ions, sodium hypophosphite which is a reducing agent, and powder ceramics are added in the composition of thetreatment liquid 2 in the electroless bath, deposition of the suboxide or oxide, or ceramics can be promoted by using simple equipment compared with the equipment for electrochemical action. - In the above-mentioned basic form, the
secondary film 24 is used as a coating, but a functional material, ceramics, Teflon (registered trademark), or fluorine may be used instead of the coating. - Among them, as the functional materials, there may be used, for example, a polymer material, difluoride material, tetrafluoride material, fluorine compound, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, manganese dioxide, alumina, bentonite, hydroxyapatite, zeolite, talc, collimate, porous silica, gold, platinum, palladium, boron nitride, titanium nitride, aluminum nitride, DLC, magnetic material, metallic material, and carbon material. They may be used on the surface and the interface of the
primary film 23 or intervened inside theprimary film 23 so that corrosion resistance, adsorptive properties, abrasion resistance, catalytic properties, thermal conductivity, low friction properties, and antibiotic properties of the primary andsecondary films - In view of the above, the present inventor came up with an idea as the first embodiment, in which a ceramics film (hereinafter referred to as “CB film”), which is the
secondary film 24, is impregnated or coated with CNT. - Specifically, since the CB film realizes a highly integrated structure like paint, the single layer SWNT type CNT, which is similar to the paint's polymeric material, is also expected to exhibit the previously-mentioned anchor structure. So, it is attempted to form the CNT film on the CB film, so that other functional materials and paints are integrated, thereby enabling to provide a novel surface treatment method for a CNT contained film which was conventionally never obtainable.
-
FIGS. 10 and 11 are a conceptual diagram showing the novel surface treatment method for a film containing CNT according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Thefirst film 23 is formed in the irregular part of the surface of thework 3,CNT 27 are arranged with high density on the surface of theprimary film 23, and a paint of a polymeric material, which is a functional material, is coated on theprimary film 23. - The paint of the
secondary film 24 contains 5% of theCNT 27 which comprises a multilayer CNT (MWNT) and has a diameter of 10 to 15 φnm and a length of about 10 μm. ThisCNT 27 is disposed at the irregular part or porous part among thecrystals 28 on the surface of theprimary film 23. This state shown inFIG. 12 . -
FIG. 13 is a sectional view of a composite film of theprimary film 23 andCNT 27. Approximately 1 to 1.5 μm of theprimary film 23 is formed on the surface of thework 3, and approximately 1 μm of theCNT 27 is formed on the surface of theprimary film 23. -
FIG. 14 is a composition chart showing, in a plan view, the distributing state of theCNT 27, wherein theCNT 27 is complicatedly arranged in a mesh pattern, a part of which is shown in an enlarged scale. - In this way, the
primary film 23 is firmly engaged with the irregular part of the surface of thework 3, theCNT 27 is arranged on the surface of theprimary film 23 with high density, the paint of the polymeric material, which is thesecondary film 24 containing theCNT 27, is coated on the primary film 23 (FIGS. 10 and 12 ), and theCNT 27 is engaged with the irregular part or porous part among thecrystals 28 of the surface of theprimary film 23 such that theprimary film 23 and the composite film of theCNT 27 are integrally formed (FIGS. 12 to 14 ). - Accordingly, there is almost no affinity between the
primary film 23 andCNT 27. It was observed that theprimary film 23 and the paint of the polymeric material, which is thesecond film 24, realize the highly integrated structure similar to the one already mentioned above. - In a second thought, the present inventor came up with the idea as the second embodiment, in which a carbon material, instead of the paint, is selected as the functional material and CNT, for example, is used as this carbon material, and
secondary film 24 is applied to the carbon film. - In that case, first, it is necessary to select CNT having good compatibility with the
primary film 23. Therefore, a single layer CNT (SWNT) or multi-layer CNT (MWNT), or dual layer (DWNT) were selected. In addition, the CNT, fullerene or graphene was selected as a structure of nanocarbon. - In this second embodiment, the multilayer CNT (MWNT) was selected. The selected CNT had the shape dimensions of 10 to 15 φnm in diameter, about 10 μm in length, and 95% or higher in purity. As a dispersing agent (NMP) for this CNT, dichlorobenzene which is a solvent having a low vaporization point and easy to dry is used, so that the bundle of CNTs is efficiently dispersed.
- At that time, content ratio (dilution ratio or adjustment ratio) between CNT and dispersing agent (NMP) is selected to 1:1, 1:2, and 1:4. Out of them, the best dilution ratio is selected, so that CNT is efficiently dispersed.
- In addition to the dispersing agent, isopropyl alcohol, acetone, ethyl alcohol can be used.
- Thus, the present inventor tested the acceptability of the affinity between the
primary film 23 and CNT depending on the dilution ratio. For that purpose, theCNT 27 and dispersing agent (NMP) were adjusted to 1:1, 1:2 and 1:4 in order to prepare various dispersing agents of theCNT 27. Then, asample piece 29 obtained by forming theprimary film 23 on both surfaces of thework 3 in the manner as mentioned above was dipped therein for 10 seconds. After pulling up, the central part and the distal end part of thesample piece 29 were cut into a rectangular shape of about 5 mm (FIG. 15 ), and the resultant was fixed onto an SEM (scanning electron microscope) sample stand (not shown). Then, the dispersing state and surface composition of CNT by way of location were observed. - At that time, the dispersing state and the surface composition of the CNT was observed under the condition of
acceleration voltage 30 kv using SEM (JEOL Ltd., JSM-6510) after an osmium membrane of about 15 A was coated using the osmium coater (Neoc—STB manufactured by Meiwa Forsyth) in order to prevent charging. - Among them,
FIGS. 16(a) through 16(d) show the SEM observation image of the surface of the sample A obtained by adjusting theCNT 27 and dispersing agent (NMP) to 1:1 to prepare a dispersing solvent of theCNT 27, then, dipping thesample piece 29 in the dispersing solvent for 10 seconds and pulling it up, and then, cutting the central part of thesample piece 29 into a rectangular shape. InFIG. 16(a) shows an SEM observation image magnified 35,000 times;FIG. 16(b) , magnified 15,000 times;FIG. 16(c) , magnified 7,000 times; andFIG. 16(d) , magnified 3,000 times, respectively. - The scale bars of each observation image are all 1 μm, respectively. Among the respective observation images, the white color part shows the
CNT 27. It was visually observed that theCNT 27 is uniformly dispersed on theprimary film 23. -
FIGS. 17(a) through 17(d) show the SEM observation image of the surface of the sample B obtained by adjusting theCNT 27 and dispersing agent (NMP) to 1:2 to prepare a dispersing solvent of theCNT 27, then, dipping thesample piece 29 in the dispersing solvent for 10 seconds and pulling it up, and then, cutting the central part of thesample piece 29 into a rectangular shape.FIG. 17(a) shows an SEM observation image magnified 35,000 times;FIG. 17(b) , magnified 15,000 times;FIG. 17(c) , magnified 7,000 times; andFIG. 17(d) , magnified 7,000 times, respectively. - The scale bars of each observation image are all 1 μm, respectively. Among the respective observation images, the white color part shows the
CNT 27. ThisCNT 27 is uniformly dispersed on theprimary film 23. InFIG. 17 , theCNT 27 is more favorably dispersed on theCNT 27 and integrated with high density, when compared with the case ofFIG. 16 , by the amount of the dispersing agent (NMP) increased. -
FIGS. 18(a) through 18(d) show the SEM observation image of the surface of the sample C obtained by adjusting theCNT 27 and dispersing agent (NMP) to 1:2 to prepare a dispersing solvent of theCNT 27, then, dipping thesample piece 29 in the dispersing solvent for 10 seconds and pulling it up, and then, cutting the central part of thesample piece 29 into a rectangular shape.FIG. 18(a) shows an SEM observation image magnified 35,000 times;FIG. 18(b) , magnified 15,000 times;FIG. 18(c) , magnified 7,000 times; andFIG. 18(d) , magnified 3,000 times, respectively. - The scale bars of each observation image are all 1 μm, respectively. Among the respective observation images, the white color part shows the
CNT 27. ThisCNT 27 is uniformly dispersed on theprimary film 23. InFIG. 18 , it is presumable that theCNT 27 is more favorably dispersed on the dispersing agent and integrated with high density, when compared with the cases ofFIGS. 16(a) through 16(d) and 17(a) through 17(d) , by the amount of the dispersing agent (NMP) increased. From those results, it was confirmed that theCNT 27 is favorably dispersed on the dispersing agent and integrated with more high density. -
FIGS. 19(a) through 19(d) show the SEM observation image of the surface of the sample A obtained by adjusting theCNT 27 and dispersing agent (NMP) to 1:1 to prepare a dispersing solvent of theCNT 27, then, dipping thesample piece 29 in the dispersing solvent for 10 seconds and pulling it up, and then, cutting the central part of thesample piece 29 into a rectangular shape.FIG. 19(a) shows the SEM observation image magnified 35,000 times; andFIG. 19(b) , magnified 3,000 times, respectively. - Also, the SEM observation image of the sample D is obtained by cutting a distal end part of the
sample piece 29 into a rectangular shape. InFIG. 19 , (a) shows the SEM observation image magnified 35,000 times, and (b); magnified 3,000 times, respectively. - The scale bars of each observation image are all 1 μm, respectively. Among the respective observation images, the white color part shows the
CNT 27. ThisCNT 27 is uniformly dispersed on theprimary film 23. - The SEM observation image of the central part is almost same as that of
FIGS. 16(a) through 16(d) . Likewise, the SEM observation images at the cutting positions of the central part and distal end part were almost same, respectively. No difference was observed depending on the cutting position. - The
actual CNT 27 dispersing operation was performed in the following manner. After a predetermined amount of theCNT 27 was mixed with the dispersing agent (NMP), the mixture was exerted an ultrasonic vibration of approximately 40 to 60 kHz for about an hour by, for example, a ultravibrator (not shown) to promote the dispersion of theCNT 27. - Then, the dispersing solvent containing the
CNT 27 is received in apaint tank 20, as shown inFIG. 4 , of a paint spraying gun in a painting booth (not shown). - The painting booth is designed such that charging and discharging operation of the gas inside the painting booth can be performed with accuracy, leakage of the spraying gas containing the
CNT 27 can be prevented, and workers, when working, can be prevented from intaking the spraying gas so that health damage can be prohibited. - Under the foregoing circumstance, the
work 3 with theprimary film 23 deposited thereon is delivered to the painting booth and then suspended via ajig 25. Then, the dispersing solvent containing theCNT 27 is sprayed to theprimary film 23. - In doing so, the dispersing solvent containing the
CNT 27 is adhered onto theprimary film 23 such that it finely bites into the irregular part of theprimary film 23 and firmly adheres thereto. Thereafter, a hot air is applied to the dispersing solvent containing theCNT 27 or the dispersing agent is naturally dried, so that thecarbon film 30 is formed via the dispersing solvent. - As learned from the foregoing, the
carbon film 30 can be formed by the spraying operation using the sprayinggun 19 easily and inexpensively. The surface of thecarbon film 30 is caused to exhibit light black color by theCNT 27 and formed into an irregular pattern along the irregular part of theprimary film 23. Consequently, thework 3 has an outstanding electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, heat resistance, high strength and flexibility owing to the characteristics of carbon. - On the other hand, it is also an interesting alternative that after the dispersing solvent containing the
CNT 27 is dried, the dispersing solvent containing theCNT 27 is sprayed onto the surface of thecarbon film 30, and the resultant is dried to form a carbon film 30 a newly. Then, the dispersing solvent containing theCNT 27 is sprayed onto the surface of thecarbon film 30, and the resultant is dried to form a carbon film 30 b newly. - In that case, the surface of the carbon film 30 a, 30 b are formed in an irregular pattern as described hereinbefore, the dispersing solvent containing the
CTN 27 finely bites into the irregular part of theprimary film 23 and firmly adheres thereto, so that a plurality ofcarbon films 30, 30 a, 30 b are formed into layers to peeling thereof. This state is as shown inFIG. 20 , wherein thework 3 has an outstanding electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, heat resistance, high strength and flexibility owing to the characteristics of the carbon obtained by the plurality ofcarbon films 30, 30 a, 30 b. - Also, by virtue of the porous structure of the
primary film 23, the plural irregularities or holes of the surface function like a chopstick holder, and thecarbon film 30, which is the secondary film, is converged and embedded among the irregular part 23 a or holes as shown inFIG. 21 . Accordingly, the embedding density of thecarbon film 30, 30 a, 30 b becomes controllable by the holes. Thus, thecarbon film 30, 30 a, 30 b is distributed to the irregular part or hole part with high density and firmly adhered thereto. - Since the
carbon film 30 eventually forms an impregnation layer on the surface layer part of theprimary film 23 and is integrated with theprimary film 23, thecarbon layer 30, 30 a, 30 b is prevented from peeling, and thecarbon film 30, 30 a, 30 b having a multilayer structure is firmly and rigidly adhered thereto. Moreover, since theplural carbon films 30, 30 a, 30 b byte into the protecting parts 23 a or thereamong, and integrated, they are firmly and intimately adhered thereto to prevent from peeling. - In this way, according to the second embodiment, since the surface of the
work 3 is impregnated with theprimary film 23 and theprimary film 23 is impregnated with thecarbon film 30 to promote integration thereof so that those components are intimately adhered to one another, peeling and cracking thereof can be prevented even when theprimary film 23 andcarbon film 30, 30 a, 30 b are bent. - Moreover, since the surface of the
work 3 is coated with theprimary film 23 and theprimary film 23 is finely and rigidly coated with thecarbon film 30, 30 a, 30 b, it exhibits an outstanding electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, heat resistance, high strength and flexibility owing to the characteristics of the carbon. - Furthermore, since the
primary film 23 is porous and flexible, the fine particles of thecarbon film 30 easily enter and byte therein, and disengagement therefrom is prevented. Thecarbon film 30, 30 a, 30 b is reliably embedded and functions like an anchor component. - Accordingly, the
carbon film 30, 30 a, 30 b is firmly and rigidly formed, and other components such as thecarbon film 30, 30 a, 30 b, as well as a coating and functional materials, which are adopted in accordance with necessity, are promoted to connect thereto. - In addition, as described previously, since the
carbon film 30, 30 a, 30 b is disposed to the irregular part among the crystals of theprimary film 23 independently and with high density, even if a stress is applied to a part of thecarbon film 30, 30 a, 30 b or crystals, the rest of thecarbon film 30, 30 a, 30 b or crystals are not affected. As shown inFIG. 22 , even if thework 3 is bent after theplural carbon films 30, 30 a, 30 b are formed, the stress is dispersed. Likewise, even if thecarbon films 30, 30 a, 30 b are damaged, peeling and/or cracking are not occurred. - Thus, the
work 3 with thecarbon film 30, 30 a, 30 b already formed thereon has a good workability, and is preferably subjected to various processing techniques. The surface of thecarbon film 30, 30 a, 30 b was cut in a lattice pattern, and peeling of a cross-cut piece was tested. No peeling was observed, and the high density and integrity of thecarbon film 30, 30 a, 30 b were observed. - Taking advantage of such outstanding characteristics as mentioned above, therefore, painting of an aircraft, surface treatment and weight reduction of the aircraft can be achieved. Moreover, there can be obtained such effects as high functionality, high quality and defogging of the galley and lavatory in an aircraft. In addition, strength of a heat exchanger for an aircraft, heat conductivity, heat dissipation and durability can be improved.
- Furthermore, in the field of automobiles and industrial equipment, there can be obtained a paint which is improved in heat resistance of a brake caliper, prohibition of chipping caused by a cutter of an exhaust muffler, and improvement in heat dispersion of a rotary blade of a vacuum pump. In the medical field, this technology can be applied to a high-performance knife for medical use and a high-performance part. In the field of shipping industry, improvement of fuel efficiency can be achieved by the reduction of attached substances caused by painting of the hull.
- Then, the inventor came up with a method for dipping, instead of spraying or applying the dispersing solvent containing the
CNT 27, in order to achieve the coating of thecarbon film 30, as the third embodiment. - According to this method, as shown in
FIGS. 23(a) through 23(c) , the dispersing solvent 32, which is prepared by mixing predetermined amounts of theCNT 27 and dispersing agent (NMP) at a predetermined ratio, is received in thebath 31, dipping thework 3 with theprimary film 23 formed on the surface thereof in the dispersing solvent 32, while moving thework 3 up and down via thejig 25 in the manner as described above, so that the dispersing solvent 32 is adhered or absorbed to the surface of theprimary film 23. After a lapse of a predetermined time, thework 3 is pulled up from thebath 31 and a hot air having a temperature of approximately 80 to 95° C. is applied to the surface of thework 3 for drying. Thereafter, the dipping and drying are repeatedly performed to coat plural layers of thecarbon film 30, 30 a, 30 b containing theCNT 27 on the surface of theprimary film 23. - According to the third embodiment as described above, since the
carbon film 30 is coated on the surface of the porousprimary film 23, thecarbon film 30 can be formed rigidly and densely compared with the conventional art in which a carbon film is coated on a smooth surface of a work. Thus, it is possible to equally obtain an outstanding electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, heat resistance, high strength and flexibility owing to the characteristics of carbon, - Moreover, the present inventor paid his attention to a myriad (hundreds of millions to tens of millions) of fine pores 36 (100 to 300 Å in diameter) formed on an
oxide film 35 comprising an extremely hardporous bulk layer 33 containing moisture, and a dense and active amorphousalumina barrier layer 34, which arrangement is, as the fourth embodiment (seeFIGS. 24(a) through 24(c) and 25), based on the known anodic oxidation method, in which thework 3 made from aluminum and its alloy is connected to the anode, the cathode material such as a lead plate is connected to the cathode, and those components are dipped in the electrolytic solution such as sulfuric acid, oxalic acid or the like and a voltage is applied thereto so that a porous is formed on the surface of thework 3. - Then, after the conventional coloring method or pore sealing treatment using the
pores 36, instead of the coloring method or pore sealing treatment, thework 3 with theanodic oxide film 35 formed thereon is dipped in the dispersing solvent 32 received in thebath 31, the dispersing solvent 32 is adhered or absorbed to the inside and surfaces of thefine pores 36 and after a lapse of a predetermined time, thework 3 is pulled up from thebath 31 and dried. In this case, since thecarbon film 30 is black, thework 3 can be colored to black by inserting thecarbon film 30 into thepores 36 and adhering it to the surface of eachpore 36. - Accordingly, it has such an advantage that the pore sealing treatment and the coloring treatment can be realized conveniently and with the use of a simple inexpensive facility, and without a need of a large scaled expensive facility as required conventionally.
- Thereafter, the dipping and drying are repeatedly performed to coat plural layers of the
carbon film 30 containing theCNT 27 to the inside and surfaces of the fine pores 36. Thus, it is possible to provide them with the outstanding electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, heat resistance, high strength and flexibility owing to the characteristics of carbon, - The
oxide film 35 thus obtained exhibits black color. Further, instead of the conventional coloring or together with the conventional coloring, it can exhibit an appearance with a novel color. Moreover, owing to thecarbon film 30 formed on the inside and surface of eachpore 36, it is also possible to obtain the same effect as the conventional pore sealing effect, and to obtain corrosion resistance. - Moreover, since the inside and surface of each
pore 36 are caused to exhibit, by thecarbon film 30 containing thecoated CNT 27, the outstanding electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, heat resistance, high strength and flexibility owing to the characteristics of carbon, this version of the present invention has more excellent mechanical and electrical characteristics than the conventional anodic oxidation method, it can be expected that this version of the present invention can be utilized in various technical fields. - The electric plating terms and related treatment terms used in the basic form and in the respective embodiments are based on JIS H0400.
