炭素膜を樹脂中に包埋し、その後カミソリ等で炭素膜の断面を露出させ、日本電子製スパッタリング装置SM-09010を用いて加速電圧5.5kVにて試料表面にアルゴンイオンビームを照射、エッチングを施した。
窒素原子比率は、XPS装置(Quantera SXM(PHI社製))を用いて、励起X線monochromatic Al Kα1,2線(1486.6eV)、X線径100μm、光電子脱出角度45°(試料表面に対する検出器の傾き)として測定した。
10本の炭素膜を束ねてステンレス製のベッセルに収容し、束ねた炭素膜の端をエポキシ樹脂系のポッティング樹脂によりケーシング内面に固定するとともにケーシングの両端を封止して、炭素膜モジュールを作製し、ガス透過速度を測定した。
70gのポリサイエンス社製ポリアクリロニトリル(MW15万)と70gのシグマ・アルドリッチ社製ポリビニルピロリドン(MW4万)、および、溶媒として400gの和光純薬工業株式会社製ジメチルスルホキシド(DMSO)をセパラブルフラスコに投入し、3時間攪拌および還流を行いながら150℃で均一かつ透明な溶液を調製した。このときポリアクリロニトリルの濃度およびポリビニルピロリドンの濃度はそれぞれ10重量%であった。
実施例1で調整したポリマー溶液を25℃まで冷却した後、図4に示した、直径d’が75μmの円の周りに、高さh’が48μm、幅w’が20μmの切欠きを周囲に等間隔で12カ所持つ多葉型の1穴口金から3mL/分で溶液を吐出して凝固浴へ導き、その後5m/分の速度で引き取り、バット上に堆積させることで原糸を得た。その後、実施例1と同様の手法にて乾燥、焼成を行い、炭素膜を得た。
