Abstract
Description
グラフェンは、導電助剤として薄層形状で単位重量当りの導電および熱伝導パスが多く、塗膜内において良好な導電および熱伝導ネットワークを形成しやすいために有用である。また、グラフェンは、不透過性の薄層形状分子であるため、塗膜中の物質透過性を低減することができ、バリア膜としても有用である。
まず、黒鉛を酸化剥離して酸化グラフェンを得る。酸化グラフェンの酸化度は、黒鉛の酸化反応に用いる酸化剤の量を変化させることにより調整することができる。酸化剤としては、具体的には、硝酸ナトリウムおよび過マンガン酸カリウムを用いることができる。酸化反応の際に用いる、黒鉛に対する酸化剤の量が多いほど、酸化度は高くなり、少ないほど、酸化度は低くなる。黒鉛に対する硝酸ナトリウムの重量比は、0.200以上0.800以下が好ましい。黒鉛に対する過マンガン酸カリウムの重量比は、1.00以上4.00以下が好ましい。
次に、酸化グラフェンと表面処理剤を混合し、グラフェンに表面処理剤を付着させる。混合方法としては、例えば、自動乳鉢、三本ロール、ビーズミル、遊星ボールミル、ホモジナイザー、ホモディスパー、ホモミクサー、プラネタリーミキサー、二軸混練機などのミキサーや混練機を用いて混合する方法などが挙げられる。
次に、酸化グラフェンを微細化する。微細化方法としては、例えば、圧力を印加した分散液を単体のセラミックボールに衝突させる方法、圧力を印加した分散液同士を衝突させて分散を行う液-液せん断型の湿式ジェットミルを用いる方法、分散液に超音波を印加する方法などが挙げられる。微細化工程においては、処理圧力や出力が高いほど、また処理時間が長いほど酸化グラフェンまたはグラフェンは微細化する傾向にある。微細化工程における微細化処理の種類・処理条件・処理時間により、還元後のグラフェンの大きさを調製することが可能である。グラフェン層に平行な大きさを前述の範囲に調整するためには、微細化工程における酸化グラフェンやグラフェンの固形分濃度は、0.01重量%以上2重量%以下が好ましい。また、超音波処理を行う場合、超音波出力は、100W以上3000W以下が好ましい。
次に、微細化した酸化グラフェンを還元する。還元方法としては、化学還元が好ましい。化学還元の場合、還元剤としては、有機還元剤、無機還元剤が挙げられるが、還元後の洗浄の容易さから無機還元剤がより好ましい。
本発明のグラフェン分散液は、溶解度パラメーターδが18MPa0.5以上28MPa0.5以下の溶媒に可溶である高分子添加剤を含むことが好ましい。高分子添加剤としては、ポリビニルアルコール、ポリビニルピロリドン、カルボキシメチルセルロース、ヒドロキシエチルセルロース、ヒドロキシプロピルセルロースなどが挙げられる。グラフェンの分散性および流動性を高め、塗膜均一性をさらに向上する観点から、これらのうちポリビニルアルコール、ポリビニルピロリドンおよびヒドロキシプロピルセルロースから選ばれた高分子添加剤がより好ましく、ポリビニルアルコールまたはポリビニルピロリドンがさらに好ましい。
本発明のグラフェン分散液は、特定のケン化率を有するポリビニルアルコールを用いることが好ましい。ポリビニルアルコール上の水酸基と、グラフェン上の酸素含有官能基および/または表面処理剤上の官能基との間の水素結合等の相互作用により、グラフェンの分散性および流動性がより向上すると共に、グラフェンとポリビニルアルコールの結着力が向上する。従って、本発明においてはポリビニルアルコールの水酸基含有率、即ちケン化率が重要となる。
本発明のグラフェン分散液は、ポリビニルピロリドンを含有していてもよい。ポリビニルピロリドンは、前述のポリビニルアルコールと同様にグラフェンとの水素結合などの相互作用により、溶媒中へのグラフェンの分散性を向上させることができる。
本発明のグラフェン分散液は、カルボキシメチルセルロース、ヒドロキシエチルセルロース、ヒドロキシプロピルセルロースなどのセルロース誘導体を含有していてもよい。これらのうち、グラフェンの分散性向上効果に優れる観点から、ヒドロキシエチルセルロースおよびヒドロキシプロピルセルロースがより好ましく、ヒドロキシプロピルセルロースがより好ましい。
