Description

저유전 고강도 세라믹 조성물 및 이를 이용한 모바일용 리어 커버 Low dielectric high strength ceramic composition and rear cover for mobile using same
본 발명은 저유전 고강도 세라믹 조성물 및 이를 이용한 모바일용 리어 커버에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는, 지르코니아(Zirconia, ZrO2)에 지르코늄 실리케이트(Zirconium silicate, ZrSiO4)를 첨가하여 높은 강도 특성과 낮은 유전 특성을 갖는 세라믹 조성물 및 이를 이용한 모바일용 리어 커버에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a low-k, high-strength ceramic composition and a rear cover for mobile using the same, and more particularly, to zirconia (ZrO 2 ) by adding zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) to high strength characteristics and low dielectric It relates to a ceramic composition having characteristics and a rear cover for mobile using the same.
통신기술이 4세대에서 다음 세대 (5, 6세대)로 발전하면서, 많은 양의 데이터를 송수신하기 위해 고주파 또는 초고주파가 사용되고 있다. 현재 사용되는 주파수는 sub6 (4.5GHz)에서 점차 28, 40GHz로 변화하고 있으며, 향후 100GHz이상의 초고주파가 사용될 것으로 예상된다.As communication technology advances from the 4th generation to the next generation (5th and 6th generation), a high frequency or very high frequency is used to transmit and receive a large amount of data. The frequency currently used is gradually changing from sub6 (4.5 GHz) to 28, 40 GHz, and it is expected that ultra-high frequencies above 100 GHz will be used in the future.
한편, 현재 모바일 단말기의 리어 커버(rear cover)로는 이온 강화 유리가 쓰이고 있으며, 이보다 더 강도가 높은 소재로 세라믹이 검토되고 있다. 그러나 세라믹 소재는 이온 강화 유리에 비해 강도는 아주 우수하나 유전율이 높기 때문에 수신되는 신호가 손실되거나 왜곡될 수 있는 문제점이 있다.Meanwhile, ion-strengthened glass is currently used as a rear cover of a mobile terminal, and ceramics are being considered as a material having higher strength than this. However, the ceramic material has a very good strength compared to ion-strengthened glass, but has a problem in that a received signal may be lost or distorted because of a high dielectric constant.
모바일 단말기의 리어 커버로 사용 가능하기 위하여 요구되는 기준 특성은 3점 굴곡 강도 700MPa 내지 800MPa 이상, 유전율 15, 신호 손실 -4dB 이하 정도로 규정할 수 있다.The standard characteristics required to be usable as a rear cover of a mobile terminal can be defined as three-point flexural strength of 700 MPa to 800 MPa or more, dielectric constant 15, and signal loss of -4 dB or less.
현재 사용되고 있는 지르코니아(ZrO2) 세라믹 소재는, 굴곡 강도는 1000MPa 이상으로 우수하지만, 유전율은 28~32이며, 신호 손실은 -9~10dB 정도의 특성을 갖는다. 따라서 종래의 지르코니아(ZrO2) 세라믹 소재는 유전율이 높고 이에 따라 신호 손실이 크기 때문에, 모바일 단말기의 리어 커버 또는 전자기기 외관용 부품 소재로 사용되면, 수신되는 신호가 손실되거나 심하게 왜곡될 수 있다. 따라서 모바일용 리어 커버 또는 전자기기 외관용 부품 소재로 활용되기 어렵다는 문제점이 있다.The currently used zirconia (ZrO 2 ) ceramic material has excellent flexural strength of 1000 MPa or more, but has a dielectric constant of 28 to 32, and a signal loss of about -9 to 10 dB. Therefore, since the conventional zirconia (ZrO 2 ) ceramic material has a high dielectric constant and thus a signal loss is large, when used as a material for a rear cover of a mobile terminal or a component material for an electronic device exterior, a received signal may be lost or severely distorted. Therefore, there is a problem in that it is difficult to be used as a material for a rear cover for a mobile device or a component material for the exterior of an electronic device.
한편, 지르코니아(ZrO2) 세라믹 소재의 높은 유전율을 감소시키기 위하여, 지르코니아(ZrO2) 세라믹 소재에 실리카(silica, SiO2)를 혼합하여 소결한 조성물이 활용되기도 한다. 실리카는 3.9 정도의 유전율을 갖는다.On the other hand, zirconia (ZrO 2) in order to reduce the high dielectric constant of the ceramic material, zirconia (ZrO 2) a mixture of silica (silica, SiO 2) in the ceramic material should also take advantage of the sintered composition. Silica has a dielectric constant of about 3.9.

표 1을 참조하면, 실리카(SiO2)의 혼합 비율이 커질수록 유전율이 감소하므로, 유전 특성이 개선되고, 이에 따라 신호손실 크기가 감소한다. 다만, 이에 따라 굴곡 강도가 감소하는데, 실리카의 혼합 비율이 16% 이상이 되는 경우, 굴곡 강도는 550 MPa 이하로 감소한다. 즉, 굴곡 강도가 지나치게 낮아지므로, 모바일 단말기의 리어 커버 또는 전자기기 외관용 부품 소재로 활용되기 어렵다는 문제점이 있다.Referring to Table 1, as the mixing ratio of silica (SiO 2 ) increases, the dielectric constant decreases, so that the dielectric properties are improved, and thus the magnitude of the signal loss is reduced. However, the flexural strength decreases accordingly. When the mixing ratio of silica is 16% or more, the flexural strength decreases to 550 MPa or less. That is, since the flexural strength is too low, there is a problem in that it is difficult to be used as a material for a rear cover of a mobile terminal or a component material for an exterior of an electronic device.

도 1을 참조하면, 지르코니아(ZrO2)와 실리카(SiO2)의 혼합 비율이 중량 퍼센트 기준으로 76 : 24 인 경우, 세라믹 내에 많은 기공(C)이 형성된 것을 확인할 수 있다. 따라서 강도가 낮은 실리카(SiO2) 및 많은 수의 기공에 의해 세라믹 조성물의 굴곡 강도가 크게 저하되는 것임을 확인할 수 있다.Referring to FIG. 1 , when the mixing ratio of zirconia (ZrO 2 ) and silica (SiO 2 ) is 76:24 based on weight percent, it can be seen that many pores (C) are formed in the ceramic. Therefore, it can be confirmed that the flexural strength of the ceramic composition is greatly reduced due to the low strength silica (SiO 2 ) and a large number of pores.

본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 세라믹 조성물은 안정화 지르코니아(Stabilized Zirconia)에 저유전 단일 화합물을 포함할 수 있다. 구체적으로 저유전 단일 화합물인 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)를 포함할 수 있다.The ceramic composition according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a single low-k compound in stabilized zirconia. Specifically, it may include a low-k single compound, zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ).
안정화 지르코니아는 지르코니아(ZrO2)에 안정화제를 첨가하여 제조한 것이다. 순수 지르코니아(ZrO2)는 1100℃ 부근에서 결정 형태가 정방정(tetragonal phase)에서 단사정(monoclinic phase)으로 변하며 급격한 용적 변화가 일어나 세라믹스에 균열이 생겨 자기 파괴가 일어나기 때문에 치밀한 세라믹 소재를 만들 수 없다. 따라서, 이러한 용적 변화가 일어나지 않도록 안정화제를 첨가하여 제조한 안정화 지르코니아를 사용할 수 있다. Stabilized zirconia is prepared by adding a stabilizer to zirconia (ZrO 2 ). Pure zirconia (ZrO 2 ) changes its crystal form from a tetragonal phase to a monoclinic phase at around 1100℃, and a rapid volume change causes cracks in the ceramics and self-destruction. none. Therefore, stabilized zirconia prepared by adding a stabilizer to prevent such a volume change may be used.
안정화 지르코니아는 실온에서 고온까지 결정형태의 변화 없이 거의 직선적인 열팽창을 나타내므로, 치밀한 소결체를 제조할 수 있다. 또한 안정화 지르코니아는 굴곡 강도가 매우 높은 특성을 갖는다.Since stabilized zirconia exhibits almost linear thermal expansion without a change in crystal form from room temperature to high temperature, a dense sintered body can be manufactured. In addition, stabilized zirconia has very high flexural strength.
지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)는 뛰어난 열적, 기계적, 화학적 특성을 지닌 재료로써, 그 소결체가 내화 재료, 전자기 재료 및 각종 화학기기에 사용되고 있다. 지르코늄 실리케이트는 1MHz의 주파수에서 유전율이 8.8이고, 굴곡 강도가 450MPa 정도인 특성을 가진다.Zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4) is a material with excellent thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties, and its sintered body is used in refractory materials, electromagnetic materials, and various chemical devices. Zirconium silicate has a dielectric constant of 8.8 at a frequency of 1 MHz and a flexural strength of about 450 MPa.
구체적으로, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 세라믹 조성물에서, 안정화 지르코니아는 20 내지 60 중량 퍼센트(weight %)로 포함되고, 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)는 40 내지 80 중량 퍼센트(weight %)로 포함될 수 있다. Specifically, in the ceramic composition according to an embodiment of the present invention, stabilized zirconia is included in 20 to 60 weight percent (weight %), and zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) is included in 40 to 80 weight percent (weight %). have.
바람직하게는, 본 발명의 세라믹 조성물에서, 안정화 지르코니아는 40 내지 60 중량 퍼센트(weight %)로 포함되고, 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)는 40 내지 60 중량 퍼센트(weight %)로 포함될 수 있다. Preferably, in the ceramic composition of the present invention, stabilized zirconia is included in 40 to 60 weight percent (weight %), and zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) may be included in 40 to 60 weight percent (weight %).
안정화 지르코니아의 함량이 20 중량 퍼센트 미만이면, 본 발명의 세라믹 조성물의 굴곡 강도가 지나치게 낮아져 모바일용 리어 커버로 활용 시 쉽게 부서질 위험이 있다. If the content of the stabilized zirconia is less than 20 weight percent, the flexural strength of the ceramic composition of the present invention is too low, and there is a risk of easily breaking when used as a mobile rear cover.
반대로 안정화 지르코니아의 함량이 60 중량 퍼센트를 초과하면 세라믹 조성물에 의한 신호손실이 커져 모바일용 리어 커버로 활용 시 모바일 기기의 전파 수신 능력이 떨어진다.Conversely, when the content of the stabilized zirconia exceeds 60 weight percent, the signal loss due to the ceramic composition increases, so that the radio wave reception ability of the mobile device is deteriorated when used as a mobile rear cover.
마찬가지로, 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)의 함량이 40 중량 퍼센트 미만이면, 세라믹 조성물에 의한 신호손실이 커지고, 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)의 함량이 80 중량 퍼센트 이상이면 세라믹 조성물의 굴곡 강도가 지나치게 낮아진다.Similarly, when the content of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) is less than 40 weight percent, the signal loss due to the ceramic composition increases, and when the content of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) is 80 weight percent or more, the flexural strength of the ceramic composition is too low.
한편, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 세라믹 조성물에서, 세라믹 조성물의 유전율은 10 내지 15일 수 있다. Meanwhile, in the ceramic composition according to an embodiment of the present invention, the dielectric constant of the ceramic composition may be 10 to 15.
유전율이 15 이상이면, 이에 따른 신호 손실이 지나치게 커지므로, 모바일용 리어 커버로 활용 시 모바일 기기의 전파 수신 능력이 떨어진다.When the permittivity is 15 or more, the signal loss is excessively large, so that the radio wave reception ability of the mobile device is deteriorated when used as a rear cover for a mobile device.
한편, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 세라믹 조성물에서, 세라믹 조성물의 굴곡 강도는 700MPa 내지 1000MPa일 수 있다. 바람직하게는, 본 발명의 세라믹 조성물에서, 세라믹 조성물의 굴곡 강도는 800MPa 내지 1000MPa일 수 있다.Meanwhile, in the ceramic composition according to an embodiment of the present invention, the flexural strength of the ceramic composition may be 700 MPa to 1000 MPa. Preferably, in the ceramic composition of the present invention, the flexural strength of the ceramic composition may be 800 MPa to 1000 MPa.
본 발명의 세라믹 조성물은 지르코니아(ZrO2)와 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)를 상기와 같은 비율로 혼합하고 소결(sintering)하여, 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)와 같은 저유전 단일 화합물이 지르코니아(ZrO2)의 입내(grain interior) 및 입계(grain boundary)에 위치하도록 한다. 이에 따라 저유전 특성 및 고강도 특성을 갖는 세라믹 조성물을 구현할 수 있다.The ceramic composition of the present invention is obtained by mixing zirconia (ZrO 2 ) and zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) in the same ratio as above and sintering, so that a low-k single compound such as zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) is zirconia (ZrO 2 ) It should be located in the grain interior and grain boundary of Accordingly, it is possible to implement a ceramic composition having low dielectric properties and high strength properties.
한편, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 세라믹 조성물에서, 안정화 지르코니아는 안정화제로써 이트리아(Yttria, Y2O3)를 포함할 수 있다. 다만, 안정화제는 산화 칼슘(CaO), 산화 마그네슘(MgO) 또는 희토류의 산화물일 수 있으며, 이에 제한되지 않는다.Meanwhile, in the ceramic composition according to an embodiment of the present invention, the stabilized zirconia may include yttria (Yttria, Y 2 O 3 ) as a stabilizer. However, the stabilizer may be calcium oxide (CaO), magnesium oxide (MgO), or a rare earth oxide, but is not limited thereto.
안정화 지르코니아는 2 내지 5몰 퍼센트(mol%)의 안정화제를 함유할 수 있다. 바람직하게는, 안정화 지르코니아는 3몰 퍼센트의 안정화제가 함유된 것일 수 있다. The stabilized zirconia may contain from 2 to 5 mole percent (mol %) of a stabilizer. Preferably, the stabilized zirconia may contain 3 mole percent of a stabilizer.
이트리아(Y2O3)의 함량이 2몰 퍼센트 미만이면, 지르코니아(ZrO2)에 단사정의 결정상을 갖게 하여 굴곡 강도가 저하된다.If the content of yttria (Y 2 O 3 ) is less than 2 mole percent, zirconia (ZrO 2 ) has a monoclinic crystalline phase, thereby reducing flexural strength.
반대로, 이트리아(Y2O3)의 함량이 5몰 퍼센트를 초과하면, 이트리아(Y2O3)의 난 소결 특성으로 인해 소결 시 치밀화가 어려워, 세라믹 조성물의 파괴 인성 (fracture toughness)을 감소시킨다.Conversely, when the content of yttria (Y 2 O 3 ) exceeds 5 mol percent, densification during sintering is difficult due to the difficult-to-sinter property of yttria (Y 2 O 3 ), thereby reducing the fracture toughness of the ceramic composition. Reduce.
지르코니아(ZrO2)에 이트리아(Y2O3)가 첨가되면, 정방정상이 안정한 조건에서 소결하여 모든 입자들이 정방정상으로 되어 있는 안정화된 지르코니아 결정체를 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 안정화된 지르코니아는 1000 MPa 이상의 고강도 특성을 가질 수 있다.When yttria (Y 2 O 3 ) is added to zirconia (ZrO 2 ), a stabilized zirconia crystal in which all particles are tetragonal can be obtained by sintering under a stable tetragonal phase. Such stabilized zirconia may have high strength properties of 1000 MPa or more.
지르코니아(ZrO2)에 안정화제 3몰 퍼센트가 포함되는 경우에는 지르코니아(ZrO2)의 소성온도가 1450℃ 이하가 될 수 있다. 지르코니아(ZrO2)에 안정화제가 많이 첨가될수록 지르코니아(ZrO2)의 소성온도가 상승할 수 있다.When the zirconia (ZrO 2 ) contains 3 mole percent of the stabilizer , the calcination temperature of the zirconia (ZrO 2 ) may be 1450° C. or less. The more a lot of stabilizers added to zirconia (ZrO 2) is the sintering temperature of the zirconia (ZrO 2) can be raised.
한편, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 세라믹 조성물은, 세라믹 조성물 전체 중량 대비 0.5 내지 2.5 중량 퍼센트(weight %)의 산화 알루미늄(Al2O3)을 더 포함할 수 있다. Meanwhile, the ceramic composition according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) in an amount of 0.5 to 2.5 weight percent based on the total weight of the ceramic composition.
산화 알루미늄은 약 9.4 정도의 유전율을 갖는다. 따라서 산화 알루미늄이 0.5 내지 2.5 중량 퍼센트 범위 내인 경우, 세라믹 조성물의 유전율을 감소시킬 수 있다. 또한, 산화 알루미늄의 첨가로 인하여, 세라믹 조성물의 강도를 더 향상시킬 수 있게 된다.Aluminum oxide has a dielectric constant of about 9.4. Therefore, when the aluminum oxide is in the range of 0.5 to 2.5 weight percent, the dielectric constant of the ceramic composition may be reduced. In addition, due to the addition of aluminum oxide, it is possible to further improve the strength of the ceramic composition.
이트리아 안정화 지르코니아(YSZ)는, 상온(25℃) 내지 400℃의 온도범위에서 장시간 노출되면 정방정상(tetragonal phase)에서 단사정상 (monoclinic phase)으로 상 전이가 일어난다. 이에 따라 균열이 발생하여 강도나 내열 충격성과 같은 특성이 저하되는 저온 열화 현상이 발생한다. 지르코니아(ZrO2)에 산화 알루미늄이 포함되는 경우, 이러한 저온 열화 현상 및 강도 저하를 방지할 수 있다.Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) undergoes a phase transition from a tetragonal phase to a monoclinic phase when exposed for a long time in a temperature range of room temperature (25° C.) to 400° C. As a result, cracks occur, resulting in a low-temperature deterioration phenomenon in which properties such as strength and thermal shock resistance are deteriorated. When aluminum oxide is included in zirconia (ZrO 2 ), such a low-temperature deterioration phenomenon and a decrease in strength can be prevented.
산화 알루미늄이 지르코니아(ZrO2)에 첨가되면, 산화 알루미늄이 결함 크기(flaw size)를 극소화시키고, 지르코니아(ZrO2)의 입자 성장을 억제하므로, 지르코니아 알루미나 복합체는 지르코니아(ZrO2)보다 훨씬 높은 강도를 가질 수 있다.When the aluminum oxide is added to zirconia (ZrO 2), aluminum oxide and minimizes the defect size (flaw size), suppresses grain growth of zirconia (ZrO 2), zirconia-alumina composite is much higher strength than zirconia (ZrO 2) can have
지르코니아(ZrO2)의 강도는 입자 크기에 반비례하므로, 지르코니아(ZrO2)에 첨가된 산화 알루미늄은 소결 시 지르코니아(ZrO2) 입자 성장을 억제하여, 정방정 지르코니아(ZrO2)의 강도를 향상시키는 효과가 있다.Strength of zirconia (ZrO 2) is that it is inversely proportional to particle size, and the aluminum oxide added to zirconia (ZrO 2) inhibit the sintering when zirconia (ZrO 2) grain growth, increase the strength of the tetragonal zirconia (ZrO 2) It works.
또한 산화 알루미늄이 첨가되는 경우, 지르코니아의 인성(toughness)이 향상되는 효과가 있다.In addition, when aluminum oxide is added, there is an effect of improving the toughness of zirconia.
한편, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 세라믹 조성물에서, 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)는 평균 입자 크기가 0.5㎛ 내지 1㎛일 수 있다. Meanwhile, in the ceramic composition according to an embodiment of the present invention, the zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) may have an average particle size of 0.5 μm to 1 μm.
지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)는 평균 입자 크기가 작을수록 크랙 전파 경로를 늘림으로써 세라믹 조성물의 기계적 특성을 향상시킬 수 있다.Zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) may improve the mechanical properties of the ceramic composition by increasing the crack propagation path as the average particle size is small.
그러나, 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)의 평균 입자 크기가 0.5㎛ 미만이면, 소결 시 소결성이 저하되어 적합한 조성물을 얻을 수 없는 문제점이 있다.However, when the average particle size of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) is less than 0.5 μm, there is a problem in that a suitable composition cannot be obtained due to reduced sinterability during sintering.
반대로, 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)의 평균 입자 크기가 1㎛를 초과하면, 소결 시 부피 팽창으로 인하여 소결체가 균열될 수 있는 위험이 있으며, 조성물의 굴곡 강도가 저하되는 문제점이 있다.Conversely, when the average particle size of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) exceeds 1 μm, there is a risk that the sintered body may be cracked due to volume expansion during sintering, and there is a problem in that the flexural strength of the composition is reduced.
한편, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 세라믹 조성물에서, 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)는 지르코니아(ZrO2)와 실리카(SiO2)를 공침법(Co-precipitation) 또는 고상 반응법(Solid-reaction)으로 합성하여 얻어질 수 있다.On the other hand, in the ceramic composition according to an embodiment of the present invention, zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) zirconia (ZrO 2 ) and silica (SiO 2 ) co-precipitation (Co-precipitation) or solid-phase reaction method (Solid-reaction) It can be obtained by synthesis.
고상 반응법을 사용하는 경우, 지르코늄(Zr) 성분을 포함하는 산화물인 지르코니아(ZrO2) 분말, 실리콘(Si) 성분을 포함하는 산화물인 실리카(SiO2) 분말을 몰비에 맞게 원료로 준비한다. 준비된 원료를 볼(ball) 및 용매와 함께 밀링(milling) 기기에 넣고 기계적으로 혼합 및 분쇄하면서 산화물 간에 고상 반응을 일으킨다. 이 후, 분쇄된 결과물을 하소(calcination)하여 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4) 분말을 제조할 수 있다.In the case of using the solid-state reaction method, zirconia (ZrO 2 ) powder, which is an oxide containing a zirconium (Zr) component, and silica (SiO 2 ) powder, which is an oxide containing a silicon (Si) component, are prepared as raw materials according to a molar ratio. The prepared raw material is put into a milling machine together with a ball and a solvent and mechanically mixed and pulverized to cause a solid-state reaction between the oxides. Thereafter, the pulverized product may be calcined to prepare a zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) powder.
공침법을 사용하여 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)를 합성하는 방법은, 관련 기술 분야에서 널리 활용되는 것으로, 구체적인 설명을 생략한다. A method of synthesizing zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) using a co-precipitation method is widely used in the related art, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
다만, 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)는 sol-gel 방법, thermal spray 방법 또는 spray pyrolysis 방법 등에 의해서도 얻어질 수 있으며, 이러한 방법에 국한되지 않는다.However, zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) may also be obtained by a sol-gel method, a thermal spray method, or a spray pyrolysis method, but is not limited thereto.
도 2a 내지 도2e는 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 세라믹 조성물에서 지르코니아(ZrO2)와 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)의 혼합비율에 따른 SEM 영상을 나타낸 것이며, 도 3은 도 2b 내지 도2e의 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)의 혼합 비율에 따른 XRD 데이터 플롯을 나타낸 것이다. 2a to 2e are SEM images according to the mixing ratio of zirconia (ZrO 2 ) and zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) in the ceramic composition according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is the zirconium of FIGS. 2b to 2e. The XRD data plot according to the mixing ratio of silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) is shown.
도 2a 내지 도 2e의 SEM 영상을 참조하면, 본 발명의 세라믹 조성물은, 지르코니아(A)와 지르코늄 실리케이트(B)를 포함한다. 지르코늄 실리케이트(B)는 지르코니아(A)의 입계 및 입내에 고르게 분포하는 것을 확인할 수 있다.Referring to the SEM images of FIGS. 2A to 2E , the ceramic composition of the present invention includes zirconia (A) and zirconium silicate (B). It can be seen that the zirconium silicate (B) is evenly distributed in the grain boundaries and in the grains of the zirconia (A).
지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)는 녹는점이 2550 ℃ 정도이다. 본 발명에서 세라믹 조성물을 형성하기 위한 열처리 온도는 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)의 녹는점 보다 일정 온도 이상 낮은 온도이므로, 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)는 지르코니아(ZrO2)와 실리카(SiO2)로 열분해되는 것이 아니라 대부분 그 자체로 소결된다. Zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) The melting point is about 2550 ℃. Since the heat treatment temperature for forming the ceramic composition in the present invention is a temperature lower than the melting point of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) by a certain temperature or more, zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) is zirconia (ZrO 2 ) and silica (SiO 2 ). Rather, it is mostly sintered by itself.
따라서, 도 2a 내지 도 2e의 SEM 영상에서와 같이, 본 발명의 세라믹 조성물에는, 실리카(SiO2)는 거의 존재하지 않으며, 지르코니아(ZrO2) 및 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)만 존재하는 것을 확인할 수 있다.Therefore, as in the SEM image of FIGS. 2a to 2e, in the ceramic composition of the present invention, silica (SiO 2 ) is hardly present, and only zirconia (ZrO 2 ) and zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) It can be confirmed that have.

표 2 내지 표 5를 도 3과 함께 참조하면, 지르코니아(ZrO2)와 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)를 포함하는 세라믹 조성물에서, 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)는 모두 정방정상으로 존재한다.Referring to Tables 2 to 5 together with FIG. 3 , in the ceramic composition including zirconia (ZrO 2 ) and zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ), zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) All exist in a tetragonal phase.
한편, 지르코니아(ZrO2)는 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)의 함량 비율이 80 중량 퍼센트 미만인 경우에는 정방정상으로 존재한다. 그러나, 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)의 함량 비율이 80 중량 퍼센트 이상인 경우에는, 일부가 단사정상으로 존재하는 것을 확인할 수 있다.On the other hand, zirconia (ZrO 2 ) is present in a tetragonal phase when the content ratio of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) is less than 80 weight percent. However, when the content ratio of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) is 80 weight percent or more, it can be confirmed that some are present in a monoclinic phase.
하기의 표 6은 안정화 지르코니아에 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)를 혼합한 조성물의 조성 비율(중량 퍼센트, wt%)에 따른 굴곡 강도, 유전율 및 신호손실을 측정한 결과를 나타낸 것이다.

표 6을 참조하면, 지르코니아(ZrO2)와 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)를 포함하는 세라믹 조성물에서, 지르코니아(ZrO2)의 함량 비율이 낮아지고 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)의 함량 비율이 커질수록, 굴곡 강도의 크기가 작아지고, 유전율이 작아지며, 신호 손실의 크기가 작아진다.Referring to Table 6, in a ceramic composition comprising zirconia (ZrO 2 ) and zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ), the content ratio of zirconia (ZrO 2 ) is lowered and the content ratio of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) is increased, the bending The magnitude of the intensity decreases, the dielectric constant decreases, and the magnitude of the signal loss decreases.
표에서, 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)의 함량이 0 중량 퍼센트인 경우, 이트리아 안정화 지르코니아(3YSZ)의 굴곡 강도는 1280MPa로 매우 우수하나, 유전율이 28 이상으로 신호 손실이 -9dB에 이른다. 따라서 이러한 고유전 특성으로 인하여 모바일용 리어 커버 또는 전자기기 외관용 부품 소재로 활용할 수 없게 된다.In the table, when the content of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) is 0 weight percent, the flexural strength of yttria-stabilized zirconia (3YSZ) is very good at 1280 MPa, but the dielectric constant is 28 or more, and the signal loss reaches -9 dB. Therefore, due to such a high dielectric characteristic, it cannot be used as a material for a rear cover for a mobile device or a component material for an exterior of an electronic device.
한편, 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)의 함량이 90 중량 퍼센트인 경우, 유전율은 약 9.8 이고 신호 손실이 약 - 1.9 이므로 우수한 특성을 갖는다. 그러나 굴곡 강도가 약 650MPa으로 강도 특성이 부적합하여, 모바일용 리어 커버로 활용할 수 없게 된다.On the other hand, when the content of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) is 90 weight percent, the dielectric constant is about 9.8 and the signal loss is about -1.9, so it has excellent properties. However, the flexural strength is about 650 MPa, and the strength characteristics are not suitable, so it cannot be used as a rear cover for mobile.
도 4는 도 2a 내지 도 2e의 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4) 혼합 비율에 따른 굴곡 강도를 도시한 그래프이다. 4 is a graph showing the flexural strength according to the mixing ratio of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) of FIGS. 2a to 2e.
표 2에서 나타낸 바와 같이, 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)의 함량 비율이 증가할 수록, 굴곡 강도는 감소하며, 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)의 함량 비율이 80 중량 퍼센트 이상이면 굴곡 강도는 700MPa 이하로 떨어지므로, 모바일용 리어 커버 또는 전자기기 외관용 부품 소재 활용할 수 없게 된다.As shown in Table 2, with increasing the content ratio of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4), the flexural strength is reduced, When the content ratio of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4) 80 percent by weight of the flexural strength is therefore fall below 700MPa , it is no longer possible to utilize the rear cover for mobile devices or parts and materials for the exterior of electronic devices.
도 5는 도 2a 내지 도 2e의 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4) 혼합 비율에 따른 유전율과 신호 손실을 도시한 그래프이다.5 is a graph showing the dielectric constant and signal loss according to the zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4 ) mixing ratio of FIGS. 2A to 2E .
표 2에서 나타낸 바와 같이, 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)의 함량 비율이 증가할 수록, 유전율이 감소하며 신호 손실의 크기도 작아진다, 지르코늄 실리케이트(ZrSiO4)의 함량 비율이 40 중량 퍼센트 이하이면 유전율이 15 이상이고 신호 손실의 크기가 4 dB 보다 더 커지므로, 모바일용 리어 커버 또는 전자기기 외관용 부품 소재로 활용할 수 없게 된다.As shown in Table 2, with increasing the content ratio of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4), it reduced dielectric constant, and also, the smaller the signal loss, the dielectric constant When the content ratio is less than 40 percent by weight of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4) 15 or more and the magnitude of the signal loss is greater than 4 dB, so it cannot be used as a material for a rear cover for a mobile device or a component material for an electronic device exterior.
