Detailed Description
[ conductive composition ]
The present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments. The conductive composition of the present invention comprises an elastomer, multilayer graphene, and a conductive filler, and is characterized in that the average major diameter of the multilayer graphene is 5 [ mu ] m or more and 100 [ mu ] m or less, and the average thickness of the multilayer graphene is 5nm or more and 100nm or less.
In the present invention, "multilayer graphene" refers to a laminate of at least two or more layers of graphene other than single-layer graphene. Single-layer graphene is a single layer having a thickness of 1 atom which is exfoliated from Graphite (Graphite) having a multilayer structure, and six-membered rings of carbon atoms are connected to form a planar structure. The "multilayer graphene" in the present specification is formed by stacking several to several hundreds of single layers of graphene, and the number of stacked layers is smaller than that of Graphite (Graphite) particles. The term "multilayer graphene" in the present specification includes commercially available materials generally referred to as "multilayer graphene" and commercially available materials generally referred to as "thin-layer graphene" or "few-layer graphene" or "multilayer graphene".
Next, the structure of the conductive composition of the present invention will be described in detail.
< elastomer >
Examples of the elastomer used in the conductive composition of the present invention include crosslinked rubbers such as silicone rubber (silicone rubber), natural rubber, isoprene rubber, butadiene rubber, acrylonitrile butadiene rubber, 1, 2-polybutadiene, styrene butadiene rubber, chloroprene rubber, nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber, acrylic rubber, epichlorohydrin rubber, fluororubber, and urethane rubber, and thermoplastic elastomers such as styrene thermoplastic elastomers, olefin thermoplastic elastomers, ester thermoplastic elastomers, polyurethane thermoplastic elastomers, amide thermoplastic elastomers, vinyl chloride thermoplastic elastomers, and fluorine thermoplastic elastomers. Among these materials, silicone rubber is preferable in view of its small compression set as a contact member, its close adhesion, its key durability, and its small change in properties at high or low temperatures (environmental resistance). In addition, a thermosetting liquid silicone elastomer (silicone elastomer) is preferable in view of processability for producing the conductive composition and the conductive film.
< multilayer graphene >
The average major diameter of the multilayer graphene is 5 μm to 100 μm, preferably 10 μm to 100 μm, and more preferably 10 μm to 30 μm, from the viewpoint of reducing the electrical resistance of the conductive film obtained using the conductive composition. If the average major axis of the multilayer graphene is less than 5 μm, it is necessary to add a large amount of the multilayer graphene, and the conductive composition becomes high in viscosity, resulting in deterioration of workability. On the other hand, if the average major axis of the multilayer graphene exceeds 100 μm, the average major axis may exceed the thickness of the conductive film and be exposed from the surface of the conductive film. In addition, the average thickness of the multilayer graphene is 5nm to 100nm, preferably 10nm to 30nm, from the viewpoint of reducing the resistance of the conductive film obtained using the conductive composition. If the average thickness of the multilayer graphene is less than 5nm, it is similar to that of single-layer graphene, and thus the conductivity is low. On the other hand, when the average thickness of the multilayer graphene exceeds 100nm, the aspect ratio becomes small and the conductivity is low.
In the present specification, the "average major axis of multilayer graphene" is determined in the following manner. That is, the same conductive film obtained using the conductive composition was cut in four different directions in the vertical direction to obtain four cross sections. Next, four cross sections are photographed by a scanning electron microscope (hereinafter, abbreviated as "SEM") to obtain four SEM images. Regarding the major axes of each of the 100 multi-layer graphene observed through the four SEM images, the first 10% in order from the long major axis is assumed as the longest axis, and the average of the longest axes of the multi-layer graphene between the four SEM images is defined as "average major axis of the multi-layer graphene". The "average major axis of graphene in the cross section of the conductive film" in the examples described below was also determined in the same manner as described above.
In the present specification, the "average thickness of multilayer graphene" is determined in the following manner. That is, the same conductive film obtained using the conductive composition was cut in four different directions in the vertical direction to obtain four cross sections. Next, the four cross sections were photographed by a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and four SEM images were obtained. The thicknesses of 100 pieces of multi-layer graphene observed from these four SEM images were measured, and the average value of the thicknesses of 400 pieces of multi-layer graphene in total was defined as "average thickness of multi-layer graphene". The "average thickness of graphene in a cross section of the conductive film" in the following examples was also determined in the same manner as described above.
The oil absorption of the multilayer graphene is preferably 2.5cc/g to 4.5cc/g, and more preferably 2.5cc/g to 3.5cc/g, from the viewpoint of reducing the electrical resistance and increasing the strength of a conductive film obtained using the conductive composition. Wherein the oil absorption is measured according to JIS K5101-13-1: 2004(ISO 787-5: 1980). If the oil absorption amount is too large, the solvent, oil, low molecular weight components in the elastomer, and the like in the conductive composition are easily adsorbed, and the conductive composition cannot be aggregated in an ink form, which is not preferable. The strength of the obtained conductive film is also low.
The BET specific surface area of the multilayer graphene is preferably 15m from the viewpoint of reducing the resistance of a conductive film obtained using the conductive composition and bringing the conductive composition to a predetermined viscosity in view of workability240m above g2A ratio of 20m or less per gram2More than 35 m/g2The ratio of the carbon atoms to the carbon atoms is less than g. Wherein the BET specific surface area is as defined in JIS Z8830: 2013(ISO 9277: 2010). The method of measuring the adsorbed gas may be a carrier gas method, and the adsorption data may be analyzed by a one-point method. When the BET specific surface area of the graphene is too large, the solvent, oil, and low molecular weight components in the elastomer are easily adsorbed, and the conductive composition cannot be aggregated in an ink form, which is not preferable. The strength of the obtained conductive film is also low. When the specific surface area of the single-layer graphene is large, the oil absorption tends to be large.
< conductive Filler >
From the viewpoint of reducing the electrical resistance of the conductive film obtained by using the conductive composition, examples of the conductive filler include silver, copper, gold, silver-plated copper, bimetallic powder, graphite particles, carbon nanotubes, conductive carbon black or other carbon allotropes, other metals, metal oxides, or conductive powders thereof, and these may be used alone or in combination of two or more. From the viewpoint of making the electrical resistance of the conductive film lower by combining with the multilayer graphene, conductive carbon black is preferable as the conductive filler. Examples of the conductive carbon black include acetylene black, ketjen black, other furnace black, channel black, and thermal black. In addition, in the present specification, the conductive filler does not contain multilayer graphene.
The conductive carbon black preferably has a BET specific surface area of 10m from the viewpoint of reducing the electrical resistance of a conductive film obtained using the conductive composition and bringing the conductive composition to a predetermined viscosity in view of workability21300m above g2A ratio of 30m or less per gram2300m above g2The ratio of the carbon atoms to the carbon atoms is less than g. Wherein the BET specific surface area is as defined in JIS Z8830: 2013(ISO 9277: 2010).
[ conductive film ]
The conductive film of the present invention is formed from the conductive composition of the present invention.
Fig. 1 shows an SEM image obtained by taking a cross section of a conductive film 10 according to an example of the present invention in a vertical direction by SEM. In addition, fig. 2 shows an enlarged SEM image of the white quadrangle portion shown in fig. 1. Hereinafter, description will be given with reference to fig. 1 and 2.
The conductive film 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes an elastomer 30, multilayer graphene 20a and 20b, and a conductive filler 40. Here, the multilayer graphene extending in the direction along the plane of the conductive film 10 is 20a, and the multilayer graphene extending in the thickness direction is 20 b. The elastomer 30, the multilayer graphene 20a, 20b, and the conductive filler 40 are the same as those described in the above conductive composition, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted here. In fig. 2, a black line-shaped crack is observed in the cross section of the conductive film 10, and it is understood that the multilayer graphene 20a and 20b extends along the crack.
In a cross section formed by cutting the conductive film 10 in the vertical direction, the average values of the distances (open double-headed arrows shown in fig. 2) between adjacent multilayer graphene sheets 20a, 20b, and 20a and 20b are preferably 0.01 μm to 10 μm, and more preferably 0.05 μm to 10 μm, respectively. The average distance between the multilayer graphene in the conductive film of the present invention is an average value of distances between 100 adjacent multilayer graphene viewed from one direction of the conductive film in a vertical cross section in an SEM image.
In the above cross section, the average distance (the hollow double-headed arrow shown in fig. 2) between the multilayer graphenes 20a, 20b, and 20a, 20b is 0.01 μm or more and 10 μm or less, and therefore the multilayer graphenes 20a, 20b, and 20a, 20b are close to each other. This makes it possible to obtain conductivity between the multilayer graphenes 20a, between the multilayer graphenes 20b, and between the multilayer graphenes 20a and 20 b. As a result, the resistance of the conductive film 10 can be reduced compared to the conventional one.
As shown in fig. 2, in a cross section obtained by cutting the conductive film 10 in the vertical direction, the graphene layers 20a extend in a direction along the plane of the conductive film 10 and are dispersed in a substantially laminar manner. In the cross section obtained by cutting the conductive film 10 in the vertical direction, the multilayer graphene 20a is dispersed and arranged in a substantially laminar manner, and therefore, the conductivity in the surface direction of the conductive film 10 is particularly improved as compared with the case where the multilayer graphene is not dispersed in a substantially laminar manner.
As shown in fig. 2, in a cross section obtained by cutting the conductive film 10 in the vertical direction, the graphene layers 20a and 20b intersect with each other and are alternately arranged in a dispersed manner. In a cross section obtained by cutting the conductive film 10 in the vertical direction, the multilayer graphene 20a and 20b intersect with each other and are alternately arranged in a dispersed manner, and therefore, the conductivity in the thickness direction of the conductive film 10 is particularly improved as compared with the case where the multilayer graphene is not intersected but is alternately arranged in a dispersed manner.
The volume resistivity of the conductive film 10 is preferably 0.1 Ω · cm to 2.0 Ω · cm, more preferably 0.3 Ω · cm to 1.8 Ω · cm, and further preferably 0.3 Ω · cm to 1.3 Ω · cm. The volume resistivity was measured in accordance with JIS K7194-1994. The details of the measurement are described in examples described later.
In the case where the conductive filler of the conductive film of the present invention is conductive carbon black, the content of the conductive carbon black is preferably 10 parts by mass or more and 80 parts by mass or less, more preferably 30 parts by mass or more and 60 parts by mass or less, and still more preferably 40 parts by mass or more and 50 parts by mass or less, based on 100 parts by mass of the conductive composition excluding the conductive carbon black and the multilayer graphene, from the viewpoint of improving conductivity. In addition, from the viewpoint of improving conductivity, when the conductive filler of the conductive film of the present invention is conductive carbon black, the content of the multilayer graphene is preferably 10 parts by mass or more and 50 parts by mass or less, more preferably 15 parts by mass or more and 50 parts by mass or less, and still more preferably 20 parts by mass or more and 50 parts by mass or less, with respect to 100 parts by mass of the conductive composition excluding the conductive carbon black and the multilayer graphene.
[ contact Member ]
In the contact member of the present invention, the contact portion includes the conductive film of the present invention. Conventionally, a contact rubber switch, which is a contact member having a conductive contact portion, has been used.
The contact member includes a main body and a contact portion, and is formed using an elastic body. The contact portion becomes conductive by having a conductive film on the surface of the contact portion. As the elastomer, the same material (for example, silicone rubber) as the elastomer used in the above-mentioned conductive composition can be used.
[ method for producing conductive composition ]
As shown in fig. 3, the method for producing a conductive composition of the present invention is characterized by comprising a step (S100) of mixing a liquid composition containing a conductive filler, a solvent, and a dispersant, and a step (S102) of mixing an elastomer and multilayer graphene into the liquid composition.
By producing the conductive composition in the above-described order of steps, the conductive filler and the multilayer graphene can be mixed and mixed in different steps, and therefore, the increase in viscosity can be suppressed as compared with a case where the conductive filler and the multilayer graphene are mixed in the same step. Further, since the conductive filler and the elastomer can be mixed in different steps, an increase in viscosity can be suppressed as compared with a case where the conductive filler and the elastomer are mixed in the same step. As a result, in each of the steps, since mixing can be performed at an appropriate viscosity, the finally obtained conductive composition can be made into a uniformly dispersed component. Other compounding agents may be contained, and a dispersant or the like may be used. For example, the conductive composition can be produced by the following steps: the method includes a step (S100) of mixing a liquid composition containing a conductive filler, a solvent, and a dispersant, and a step (S102) of mixing an elastomer and multilayer graphene into the liquid composition.
In the method for producing the conductive composition, when the conductive filler is conductive carbon black, the content of the conductive carbon black is preferably 10 parts by mass or more and 80 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the conductive composition from which the conductive carbon black and the multilayer graphene are removed, and the content of the multilayer graphene is preferably 10 parts by mass or more and 50 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the conductive composition from which the conductive carbon black and the multilayer graphene are removed.
In the method for producing the conductive composition, when the conductive filler is conductive carbon black, the conductive carbon black is dispersed between the multilayer graphene by setting the contents of the conductive carbon black and the multilayer graphene to the above ranges, and thus the conductivity of the conductive film obtained from the conductive composition is improved.

< analysis of test results >
From the results of the first to sixteenth samples, it was found that the amount of graphene blended was large, and the volume resistivity of the conductive film was low. Further, the results of the first to tenth samples show that the conductive carbon black is large and the volume resistance of the conductive film is low.
The following effects can be observed from the results of the first to seventeen samples: the volume resistivity of the conductive film formed by blending thin-layer graphene, few-layer graphene, or multi-layer graphene 1 and 2 is lower than that of single-layer graphene. From the results of the first to fourteenth samples, it was found that the volume resistivity of the conductive film was lowered in the order of the single-layer graphene, the thin-layer graphene, the few-layer graphene, the multi-layer graphene 2, and the multi-layer graphene 1 blended therein.
From the results of the first, eighteenth, and twentieth samples, it is understood that the volume resistivity of the conductive film not containing graphene is high. From the results of the eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first samples, it is found that the volume resistivity of the conductive film is significantly reduced in both the case where carbon fibers as the conductive filler are added to the conductive carbon black and the case where carbon nanotubes as the conductive filler are added to the conductive carbon black and the case where the conductive carbon black is blended with the carbon fibers by blending the multi-layer graphene.
From the results of the first to sixteenth samples, it is found that the volume resistivity of the conductive film is approximately decreased as the average distance between the graphenes in the conductive film is decreased
