Moreover, if the said length is 50 mm or less, since the process passability at the time of shape
- the length of the chopped carbon fiber bundle is in the above range is that the chopped carbon fiber bundle is substantially in the above range. More specifically, for example, 95. It means that 0% or more is within the above range.

- the concentration of the sizing agent in the sizing solution is preferably 0.5 to 30% by mass.
- the solvent of the sizing liquid may be water, alcohols such as ethyl alcohol or methyl alcohol, ketones such as acetone or methyl ethyl ketone, xylene, dichloromethane, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran or Toluene or the like, or a mixed system thereof is appropriately selected and used.

These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. In some cases, an emulsifier or a surfactant can be included.
- the width of the carbon fiber bundle per unit basis weight is set to a range of 1/450 mm / tex or more and 1/100 mm / tex or less to perform secondary sizing. It is preferable to apply a liquid. If the width of the carbon fiber bundle is 1/440 mm / tex or more, it becomes easy to control the liquid content and increase the convergence. Further, if it is 1/100 mm / tex or less, the time required for the secondary sizing solution to sufficiently penetrate into the fiber bundle can be shortened, so that impregnation unevenness hardly occurs in the continuous process, and the focusing property becomes high.
- a more desirable range is 1/370 mm / tex or more and 1/150 mm / tex or less. If it is 1/370 mm / tex or more and 1/150 mm / tex or less, fuzzing when adjusting the carbon fiber bundle can be prevented while promoting the penetration of the secondary sizing liquid, and suitable short fiber orientation can be achieved. A chopped carbon fiber bundle can be produced with high productivity.
- the carbon fiber bundle before adhering the secondary sizing liquid may be a fiber bundle obtained by connecting fiber bundles taken out from a plurality of packages.
- the method for connecting the end of the fiber bundle in one carbon fiber package and the end of the fiber bundle of another package is not particularly limited, but it is desirable to connect by air entanglement. This is because the process passability at the time of producing a chopped carbon fiber bundle is significantly deteriorated when the yarns are connected by directly tying them.
- a connecting portion between two or more fiber bundles by air entanglement is preferable because of good processability and little influence on the quality of the product by the connecting portion.
- the cutting method for cutting the carbon fiber bundle into a chopped carbon fiber bundle is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to cut the carbon fiber bundle by a rotary cutter method to obtain a chopped carbon fiber bundle.
- a rotary cutter method When cutting with a rotary cutter, if the thickness of the carbon fiber bundle becomes too thick, it will be broken, the tow will be wrapped around the rotor, making it impossible to operate, and the chopped form will be defective, so the tow thickness is thin Is preferred.
- the drying of the chopped carbon fiber bundle after being cut is not particularly limited, but is usually performed by a hot air drying method.
- a method of transferring while vibrating is preferably used.
- auxiliary means such as infrared radiation can be used in combination in order to increase the drying efficiency. If the vibration conditions at the time of drying are too strong, bundle cracking of the obtained chopped carbon fiber bundle is likely to occur, and the number of chopped carbon fiber bundles having a bundle width / thickness of less than 2 increases. If the vibration condition is too weak, quasi-bonding between chopped carbon fiber bundles occurs.
- the production method of the carbon fiber reinforced resin composition of the present embodiment is such that the chopped carbon fiber bundle is 5 parts by mass or more and 150 parts by mass or less, preferably 15 parts by mass or more and 40 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the matrix resin. It is related with the manufacturing method of a carbon fiber reinforced resin composition including mix
- the chopped carbon fiber bundle may be mixed in an amount of 5 to 60% by mass, preferably 10 to 30% by mass with respect to the total mass of the matrix resin in terms of the amount of carbon fibers.

Abstract
Description
本願は、2012年11月26日に日本に出願された特願2012-257772号に基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
一方、炭素繊維束の形態が扁平になるほど、流動性や集束性の低いチョップ炭素繊維束となってしまうという問題を生じる。また、断面形状を円形に近づけると炭素繊維束の嵩密度が高くなり、炭素繊維束の内部にサイジング剤が浸透しにくくなるため、集束性にむらが生じる。さらにコンパウンド工程で受ける剪断力が大きくなるため解繊しやすくなり、ファイバーボールができやすくなり流動性が低くなるため、コンパウンド工程のホッパーから押出機へ移送するときに閉塞等のトラブルを起こしやすくなる。
しかし、特許文献3に記載の炭素繊維チョップストランドでは、チョップド炭素繊維束を製造する際にその扁平度が低い炭素繊維束形状であり、サイジング剤を付与して乾燥させる際に乾燥不良を起こすため、生産速度を低下させる必要が生じるという問題点がある。
しかし、特許文献4には、チョップの形状について、略矩形で1辺の長さが1.5~6mmと記載されている。1辺の長さが3mm程度よりも短い距離であると、単位長さ当たりの重量が1.7mgであっても断面は扁平度が低くなり、やはり製造時に乾燥不良を起こして生産速度を低下させる必要が生じるという問題点があった。
チョップド炭素繊維束の全体質量に対して1質量%以上5質量%以下のサイジング剤とを含んでなり、
前記炭素繊維幅の繊維方向に沿うチョップド炭素繊維束の長さ(L)が1mm以上50mm以下、
前記チョップド炭素繊維束の繊維方向に対して垂直な断面の長径(Dmax)と短径(Dmin)の比(Dmax/Dmin)が6.0以上18.0以下であり、前記チョップド炭素繊維束の表面に存在する単繊維の配向パラメータが4.0以下である、チョップド炭素繊維束。
(2)チョップド炭素繊維束の長さ(L)とチョップド炭素繊維束の繊維方向に対して垂直な断面における短径(Dmin)の比(L/Dmin)が5以上30以下である(1)に記載のチョップド炭素繊維束。
(3)嵩密度が200g/L以上650g/L以下である(1)または(2)に記載のチョップド炭素繊維束。
(4)前記サイジング剤が、ウレタン系樹脂、ナイロン系樹脂、変性オレフィン系樹脂、変性エポキシ系樹脂及び水溶性ナイロン系樹脂のいずれかから選ばれる1以上の熱可塑性樹脂を主成分とするサイジング剤である(1)~(4)のいずれかに記載のチョップド炭素繊維束。
(5)総繊度が25,000dtex以上45,000dtex以下の炭素繊維束に対して、30℃における粘度が3000Pa・s以下である一次サイジング剤を0.3重量%以上1.5重量%以下の量を付着させた後、単位目付あたりの炭素繊維束の幅が1/440mm/tex以上1/100mm/tex以下の範囲にして、二次サイジング剤を含むサイジング液を付与し、前記前記炭素繊維束を切断し、次いで前記サイジング液を乾燥するチョップド炭素繊維束の製造方法。
(7)前記二次サイジング剤が、ウレタン系樹脂、ナイロン系樹脂、変性オレフィン系樹脂、変性エポキシ系樹脂及び水溶性ナイロン系樹脂のいずれかから選ばれる1以上の熱可塑性樹脂を含む、(5)に記載のチョップド炭素繊維束の製造方法。
(8)前記一次サイジング剤と前記二次サイジング剤を含むサイジング剤の炭素繊維束に対する付着量が1~5質量%である、(5)~(7)の何れかに記載のチョップド炭素繊維束の製造方法。
(9)マトリックス樹脂100質量部に対して、(1)~(5)のいずれかに記載のチョップド炭素繊維束を炭素繊維量で5質量部以上150質量部以下を配合し、その後、前記マトリックス樹脂と前記チョップド炭素繊維を混合する工程を含む、炭素繊維強化樹脂組成物の製造方法。
(10)前記マトリックス樹脂が、ポリカーボネート樹脂、ナイロン樹脂、ポリエチレンテレフタレート樹脂、ポリブチレンテレフタレート樹脂、ABS樹脂、ポリオキシメチレン樹脂、ポリプロピレン樹脂、ポリフェニレンサルフィド樹脂、ポリエーテルサルフィン樹脂及びポリエーテルイミド樹脂を含む熱可塑性樹脂、並びにそのアロイ系樹脂のいずれかから選ばれる1以上を含む(9)に記載の炭素繊維強化樹脂組成物の製造方法。
(11)(9)又は(10)に記載の製造方法で得られた炭素繊維強化樹脂組成物を用いた、ペレット又は成型品の製造方法。
(12)総繊度が25,000dtex以上45,000dtex以下、断面の長径(Dmax)と短径(Dmin)の比(Dmax/Dmin)が6.0以上18.0以下、サイジング剤の付着量が1質量%以上5質量%以下であるチョップド炭素繊維束。

(14)総繊度が25,000dtex以上45,000dtex以下の炭素繊維束に撚り画ない状態でサイジング液を付与し、サイジング剤が乾燥する前に炭素繊維束を切断し、乾燥するチョップド炭素繊維束の製造方法。
またサイジング剤は、これら熱可塑性樹脂の単独でも、又は複数混合したものでも用いることができ、更にエポキシ樹脂、アクリルエステル樹脂、メタクリルエステル樹脂、又はシランカップリング剤等を添加した混合物として用いることができる。シランカップリング剤の中でも、特にエポキシシラン系、アミノシラン系又はビニルシラン系等の化合物が望ましく、シラン化合物のエポキシ基は、グリシジル基又は脂環式エポキシ基のいずれでもよい。
サイジング剤の付着量が1質量%以上であれば、チョップド炭素繊維束の集束性が良好であり、押出し機等への供給性が安定しやすい。5重量%以下であれば、分散性が良好であり、機械特性が低下しにくく、また、熱分解により発生する分解ガスの量も抑制しやすくなり、チョップド炭素繊維束を製造する際の裁断時に裁断しやすくなるため好ましい。これらの観点から、サイジング剤の総付着量は、2質量%以上がより好ましく、4質量%以下がより好ましい。
なお、本実施形態における配向パラメータは、炭素繊維束を構成する単繊維のそれぞれの角度(単位は度)を長さで重みづけした度数分布を、以下のローレンツ関数にフィッティングし、得られた半値幅を配向パラメータと定義した。

サイジング剤付着量(重量%)=(W1-W2)/W1×100 (i)
得られたチョップド炭素繊維束を無作為に50個摘出し、チョップド炭素繊維束の長さ、及び断面の長径をノギスによって、また断面の短径をフラットポイントのマイクロメータによって測定した。50個の測定値の数平均値を算出し、チョップド炭素繊維束の長さL、断面の長径Dmax、断面の短径Dminとした。
2Lのメスシリンダーに、300gのチョップド炭素繊維束を充填し、軽く衝撃を与えてチョップド炭素繊維束の体積に変化が無くなったときの体積を求め、この体積とチョップド炭素繊維束の重量とを用いて嵩密度を算出した。
チョップド炭素繊維束の表面に存在する単繊維の配向パラメータ(配向度)を、以下の方法で測定した。
得られたチョップド炭素繊維束を光学顕微鏡(キーエンス製、DIGITAL MICROSCOPE VHX―500F)を用いて、反射光・倍率200倍で観察した。観察には、高画質深度合成機能を用いて、画面内ですべての炭素繊維フィラメントに焦点が合っている画像(1600×1200ピクセル)を撮影した。なお、反射光で観察した場合、炭素繊維フィラメントはフィラメントが無い部分と比較して白く写る。
撮影した画像を、画像解析ソフト(三谷商事株式会社製二次元画像解析ソフトウェア、WinROOF)を用いて以下の手順で解析した。
グレースケール変換後の輝度値が閾値Bより明るいピクセルを白、Bよりも暗いピクセルを黒として、画像を二値化した。輝度値の閾値Bは、画像に含まれるすべてのピクセルの輝度値をヒストグラム(度数分布)とした後に、輝度値B以下の度数の合計と輝度値B以上の度数の合計が同じ値になるように定義した。
さらに、二値化された画像における白線(炭素繊維フィラメントを示す)を画像解析ソフトの針状分離機能によって、白線を直線であると規定し、画面内のすべての白線の始点と終点の座標(Xs、Ys)、(Xe、Ye)を定義した。
画像解析で得られた白線の始点と終点の座標(Xs、Ys)、(Xe、Ye)より、以下の数式を用いて、各線分の角度θ度及び長さLを算出した。
θ=ArcTan((Ys-Ye)/(Xs―Xe))+90
L=√([(Xs-Xe)]2+[(Ys-Ye)]2 )

に最小二乗法を用いてフィッティングし、得られた半値幅のパラメータを配向度と定義した。
一つのチョップド炭素繊維束につき、サンプル数3点、各サンプルにつき3か所の顕微鏡写真を撮影し、これらの値の平均値を、チョップド炭素繊維束の表面に存在する単繊維の配向パラメータ(配向度)とした。
得られたチョップド炭素繊維束を1kg、スクリュー部の直径が30mmの重量式スクリューフィーダーに投入し、毎時15kgの速度で搬送した。1kgすべてを搬送できた場合はフィード性良好、搬送中にチョップド炭素繊維束がスクリュー部にブリッジングを起こして搬送不良を起こした場合は、フィード不可であると判断した。

それに対して、比較例1、比較例5、比較例11のチョップド炭素繊維束は、断面の扁平度が低く、さらに、単繊維が配向していないために、コンパウンド製造時の取扱い性に劣っている。
比較例3、比較例7のチョップド炭素繊維束は、断面は適度な扁平形状であるが、チョップド炭素繊維束を構成する単繊維が配向していないために、チョップド炭素繊維束同士が擦れあった際に毛羽立ちやすく、取扱い性に劣っている。
比較例4、比較例6のチョップド炭素繊維束は、炭素繊維束を構成する単繊維は配向しているが、断面の扁平度が低い、あるいは扁平度が過剰であるために、炭素繊維束がばらけやすく、取扱い性に劣っている。
比較例8のチョップド炭素繊維束は、断面が適度な扁平形状であり、かつチョップド炭素繊維束を構成する単繊維も配向しているが、サイジング剤の付着量が少なすぎるために、炭素繊維束がばらけやすく、取扱い性に劣っている。
また、比較例2、比較例9、比較例10は一次サイジング剤の粘度やサイジング液を付与する際の炭素繊維束の幅が適正でないと、安定してチョップド炭素繊維束を生産できないことを示している。
以上の結果より、本発明によって、サイジング剤付着量が比較的低くても均一にサイジング剤が付与されており、良好な取扱い性及び高い生産性を示すチョップド炭素繊維束が得られることがわかった。
総繊度が32,000dtexである三菱レイヨン製炭素繊維束TRH50 60Mを用い、複数個よりなる開繊バーへの擦過とトウ幅規制バーを交互に通過させ、所定のトウ幅とした炭素繊維束に、ハイドランHW-930(DIC株式会社製水性ウレタン樹脂)を固形分濃度6.0重量%に調製した水溶液(サイジング液)を用いて付着処理を施した。付着処理は、サイジング液槽にロールの一部を浸漬し、ロール表面にサイジング液を塗布し、そのロール表面に炭素繊維束を接触させることにより炭素繊維束にサイジング液を付着させるタッチロール方式で行った。また付着処理は4,400dtex/mmで処理を行った。タッチロールは、2個用い、炭素繊維束の表裏2面に塗布を施した。湿潤状態にある炭素繊維束の切断は切断刃の間隔が6mmのロータリーカッターにて行い、切断した炭素繊維束を床振動式熱風乾燥炉に連続的に投入して200℃にて乾燥し、チョップド炭素繊維束を得た。
