Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、炭素質粉末と熱硬化性樹脂を主成分とする炭素質粉末成形材料及びその製造法に関する。また、この成形材料を加圧成形した炭素質成形品に関する。この成形品は、炭素電極や燃料電池セル間の導電性隔離板などに適したものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、炭素質粉末と熱硬化性樹脂(主としてフェノール樹脂)からなる炭素質粉末成形材料、ならびにその成形品は、次のようなものがある。
(1)炭素質粉末と熱硬化性樹脂を加圧混練し、これを粉砕してなる成形材料、ならびにこれを加熱加圧成形又は射出成形した成形品。
(2)炭素質粉末とフェノール樹脂粉末を水中に分散して混合し、これを乾燥してなる成形材料、ならびにこれを加熱加圧成形した成形品。
(3)炭素質粉末と熱硬化性樹脂粉末又は熱可塑性樹脂粉末とを溶剤を用い湿式混合後乾燥した成形材料、あるいは、溶剤を用いず乾式混合した成形材料、ならびにこれらを加熱加圧成形又は射出成形した成形品。
(4)樹脂成分を含まないものとして、膨張黒鉛を主体とした炭素質粉末、ならびにこれをそのまま高圧で圧縮成形した成形品。
【0003】
しかし、上記各成形材料を成形した炭素質成形品は、特性的に種々不十分な点がある。
(1)の成形材料は、炭素質粉末と熱硬化性樹脂の均一な混練を実施するために、樹脂を炭素質粉末と同程度の質量で用いて調製される。このような成形材料を成形した成形品は、電気抵抗が大きくなる。
(2)の成形材料は、水分除去のために加熱乾燥の工程を経て調製されるが、加熱乾燥によって樹脂の硬化反応も同時に進行する。硬化反応が進み過ぎないように加熱乾燥を控え目にするので、水分が過剰に残留した成形材料とならざるを得ない。このような成形材料を成形した成形品は、強度が不十分となる。
(3)の成形材料は、溶剤除去のために加熱乾燥の工程を経て調製されるが、上記(2)と同様の理由で加熱乾燥を控え目にするので、溶剤が過剰に残留した成形材料とならざるを得ない。このような成形材料を成形した成形品は、強度が不十分となる。乾式混合による成形材料は、溶剤残留の問題はないが、機械的強度を確保するために樹脂含有量を増やす必要がある。このような成形材料を成形した成形品は、電気抵抗が大きくなる。
(4)の炭素質粉末は冷間で容易に成形できるが、成形品の強度確保が難しい。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上述のように、従来の炭素質粉末成形材料は、これを成形した成形品の電気抵抗を小さくし機械的強度も確保することが不十分であった。また、電気抵抗を小さくするべく樹脂含有量を極力制限するので、成形性が良いとはいえなかった。
本発明は上記問題に鑑み、電気抵抗が小さく機械的強度が大きい炭素質成形品の製造に寄与する炭素質粉末成形材料を提供することを課題とする。また、電気抵抗が小さく機械的強度が大きい炭素質成形品を提供することを課題とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の課題を解決するために、本発明に係る炭素質粉末成形材料は、炭素質粉末と熱硬化性樹脂を混合してなるものにおいて、主たる熱硬化性樹脂がベンゾオキサジン樹脂とジメチレンエーテル型フェノール樹脂又はレゾール型フェノール樹脂とであることを特徴とする。炭素質粉末と熱硬化性樹脂の混合比率は、92/8〜70/30(質量比)とする。ベンゾオキサジン樹脂は、( 6,6-(1-Methylethylidene)bis(3,4-dihydro-3-phenyl-2H-1,3-benzoxazine) 6,6-(1-Methylethylidene)bis(3,4-dihydro-3-methyl-2H-1,3-benzoxazine) から選ばれる。
【0006】
従来、炭素質粉末とフェノール樹脂を主成分とした炭素質粉末成形材料において、成形した成形品の電気抵抗を低くするために、樹脂の含有量を少なくすることが試みられた。しかし、樹脂の含有量を少なくすると、成形に際して、炭素質粉末粒子間の隙間を樹脂で十分埋めることができないので、成形品の機械的強度が低下する。そこで、一般的には、炭素質粉末とフェノール樹脂を質量比率70/30〜50/50の範囲で配合して、電気抵抗と機械的強度の一方の特性が極端に悪くならないように配慮している。従って、電気抵抗と機械的強度のいずれかの特性が不十分な状況にある。
本発明に係る炭素質粉末成形材料は、主たる熱硬化性樹脂として選択したベンゾオキサジン樹脂が成形時に著しく低粘度になり、また、硬化時にガスを発生しない。従って、炭素質粉末粒子間の隙間が流動性のよい樹脂で十分に埋まり、成形品に良好な機械的強度を付与することができる。同時に、樹脂は薄膜となるので、炭素質粉末粒子同士を接近させ電気抵抗を低くできるものと推測される。成形時の樹脂の流動性がよくガスの発生のないことことから、成形性も良好である。ガスの発生を少なくすることは、成形品にボイドやカスレができる原因を取除くことにもなる。炭素質粉末と熱硬化性樹脂の混合比率を92/8〜70/30(質量比)とすることにより、成形した成形品の機械的強度と低電気抵抗の特性バランスが良好になる。
【0007】
上記のベンゾオキサジン樹脂にジメチレンエーテル型フェノール樹脂を併用した炭素質粉末成形材料は、ベンゾオキサジン樹脂を主たる熱硬化性樹脂とする炭素質粉末成形材料と同様に、機械的強度が十分で低電気抵抗の成形品を良好に成形することに寄与するが、加えて、ジメチレンエーテル型フェノール樹脂は、溶融時の粘度が比較的低く、成形時の発生ガスも少ない上に硬化性に優れるため、一緒に用いるベンゾオキサジン樹脂の特徴を保持したまま硬化性を向上させることができる点で有利である。
【0008】
上記のベンゾオキサジン樹脂にレゾール型フェノール樹脂を併用した炭素質粉末成形材料は、ベンゾオキサジン樹脂を主たる熱硬化性樹脂とする炭素質粉末成形材料と同様に、機械的強度が十分で低電気抵抗の成形品を良好に成形することに寄与するが、加えてレゾール型フェノール樹脂は、硬化性に優れるため、一緒に用いるベンゾオキサジン樹脂の硬化性を向上させることができる点で有利である。
【0009】
上記各成形材料は、成形品の電気抵抗を低くするために、炭素質粉末として、好ましくは、膨張黒鉛粉末、鱗片状黒鉛粉末、人造黒鉛粉末から選ばれる少なくとも一つを含む。
【0010】
本発明に係る炭素質粉末成形材料は、炭素質粉末と熱硬化性樹脂粉末の混合比率を、92/8〜70/30(質量比)として実質的に乾式混合することにより製造するができ、熱硬化性樹脂粉末として、主として、ベンゾオキサジン樹脂粉末とジメチレンエーテル型フェノール樹脂粉末を混合して、又はベンゾオキサジン樹脂粉末とレゾール型フェノール樹脂粉末を混合して用いる
【0011】
本発明に係る炭素質成形品は、上記の炭素質粉末成形材料を加圧成形したものである。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明において、主たる熱硬化性樹脂であるベンゾオキサジン樹脂は、6,6-(1-Methylethylidene)bis(3,4-dihydro-3-phenyl-2H-1,3-benzoxazine)、6,6-(1-Methylethylidene)bis(3,4-dihydro-3-methyl-2H-1,3-benzoxazine)など、市販品を単独又は混合して用いることができる。必要に応じて、安息香酸、マレイン酸などの硬化促進剤を加える。フェノール樹脂、エポキシ樹脂などを従たる熱硬化性樹脂として併用してもよい。
【0013】
主たる熱硬化性樹脂として、ベンゾオキサジン樹脂と共にジメチレンエーテル型フェノール樹脂を用い用いる。また、ベンゾオキサジン樹脂と共にレゾール型フェノール樹脂を用いる。ジメチレンエーテル型フェノール樹脂ならびにレゾール型フェノール樹脂は、どちらも、例えば、フェノール類とホルマリン類を主成分としてアルカリ触媒下で反応させてメチロール化物とした後、加熱縮合脱水することにより得られる固形の自硬化性フェノール樹脂である。
【0014】
また、本発明において、炭素質粉末は、鱗片状黒鉛粉末、膨張黒鉛粉末、人造黒鉛粉末から選ばれる少なくとも一つを含むことが望ましいが、そのほかに炭素繊維粉末を混合して用いてもよい。
鱗片状黒鉛粉末及び人造黒鉛粉末は市販品を利用でき、その粒径は5〜100μmの範囲が好ましい。膨張黒鉛粉末は公知の方法で製造することができる。例えば、鱗片状黒鉛を硫酸と硝酸との混液に浸漬処理して酸化合物とし、水洗した後、900℃以上の温度で急速加熱し膨張黒鉛とする。その後、圧縮し粉砕することで目的の膨張黒鉛粉末を得ることができる。
【0015】
炭素質粉末と熱硬化性樹脂(主たる樹脂は、ベンゾオキサジン樹脂とジメチレンエーテル型フェノール樹脂、又はベンゾオキサジン樹脂とレゾール型フェノール樹脂)の配合比率は、樹脂分が少なくなると成形品の機械的強度が低下し、樹脂分が多くなると成形品の電気抵抗が増大するので、質量比で、92/8〜70/30とする。
【0016】
成形材料の調製は、炭素質粉末と、ベンゾオキサジン樹脂粉末、又はベンゾオキサジン樹脂粉末とジメチレンエーテル型フェノール樹脂粉末、又はベンゾオキサジン樹脂粉末とレゾール型フェノール樹脂粉末に、必要に応じて、硬化促進剤、離形剤、表面改質剤、従たる他の熱硬化性樹脂などを添加し、これらを、シェイカー、ミキサー、タンブラー、ボールミル、雷潰機などを用いて直接乾式混合することにより行なう。前記乾式混合においては、混合後に乾燥を要しない程度の量であるなら溶剤を添加しても差し支えない。このような場合も、乾式混合という。ベンゾオキサジン樹脂、ジメチレンエーテル型フェノール樹脂ならびにレゾール型フェノール樹脂の粉末は、その粒径が小さいほど良く、75μm以下が好ましい。
【0017】
上述の炭素質粉末成形材料の成形は、通常の圧縮成形、射出成形などにより行なう。金型温度は、室温から300℃の間に設定する。成形時に加熱加圧成形してもよいし、成形は加圧だけで行ない、その後成形品を金型から取り出し、樹脂を加熱硬化させてもよい。後者の場合、成形サイクルを短くすることができるので都合がよい。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a carbonaceous powder molding material mainly composed of carbonaceous powder and a thermosetting resin, and a method for producing the same. The present invention also relates to a carbonaceous molded product obtained by pressure molding this molding material. This molded product is suitable for a conductive separator between carbon electrodes and fuel cells.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, carbonaceous powder molding materials composed of carbonaceous powder and a thermosetting resin (mainly phenol resin), and molded articles thereof are as follows.
(1) A molding material obtained by pressure-kneading carbonaceous powder and a thermosetting resin and pulverizing the same, and a molded product obtained by heat-pressing or injection molding the molding material.
(2) A molding material obtained by dispersing and mixing a carbonaceous powder and a phenol resin powder in water and drying the mixture, and a molded article obtained by heating and molding the molding material.
(3) Molding material obtained by wet-mixing carbonaceous powder and thermosetting resin powder or thermoplastic resin powder after using a solvent, or molding material obtained by dry-mixing without using a solvent, Injection molded products.
(4) A carbonaceous powder mainly composed of expanded graphite and a molded product obtained by compression-molding the powder as it is at a high pressure as containing no resin component.
[0003]
However, the carbonaceous molded products obtained by molding the above molding materials have various insufficient characteristics.
The molding material (1) is prepared using the resin in a mass comparable to that of the carbonaceous powder in order to perform uniform kneading of the carbonaceous powder and the thermosetting resin. A molded product obtained by molding such a molding material has a large electric resistance.
The molding material (2) is prepared through a heat drying process for removing moisture, and the resin curing reaction also proceeds simultaneously by heat drying. Heat drying is conservative so that the curing reaction does not proceed excessively, so the molding material has to be left with excessive moisture. A molded product obtained by molding such a molding material has insufficient strength.
The molding material of (3) is prepared through a heat drying process for removing the solvent. However, since heating drying is conservative for the same reason as the above (2), the molding material in which the solvent remains excessively is used. I have to be. A molded product obtained by molding such a molding material has insufficient strength. The molding material by dry mixing does not have a problem of residual solvent, but it is necessary to increase the resin content in order to ensure mechanical strength. A molded product obtained by molding such a molding material has a large electric resistance.
The carbonaceous powder (4) can be easily molded in the cold, but it is difficult to ensure the strength of the molded product.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, the conventional carbonaceous powder molding material is insufficient to reduce the electrical resistance and ensure the mechanical strength of a molded product obtained by molding the carbonaceous powder molding material. Further, since the resin content is limited as much as possible to reduce the electric resistance, it cannot be said that the moldability is good.
In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a carbonaceous powder molding material that contributes to the production of a carbonaceous molded article having low electrical resistance and high mechanical strength. Another object of the present invention is to provide a carbonaceous molded article having a low electrical resistance and a high mechanical strength.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, the carbonaceous powder molding material according to the present invention is a mixture of carbonaceous powder and a thermosetting resin, and the main thermosetting resin is a benzoxazine resin and a dimethylene ether type. It is a phenol resin or a resol type phenol resin . The mixing ratio of the carbonaceous powder and the thermosetting resin is 92/8 to 70/30 (mass ratio). Benzoxazine resins are ( 6,6- (1-Methylethylidene) bis (3,4-dihydro-3-phenyl-2H-1,3-benzoxazine) and 6,6- (1-Methylethylidene) bis (3,4 -dihydro-3-methyl-2H-1,3-benzoxazine) .
[0006]
Conventionally, attempts have been made to reduce the resin content in a carbonaceous powder molding material mainly composed of carbonaceous powder and a phenol resin in order to reduce the electric resistance of the molded product. However, if the resin content is reduced, the gap between the carbonaceous powder particles cannot be sufficiently filled with the resin during molding, so that the mechanical strength of the molded product is lowered. Therefore, in general, carbonaceous powder and phenol resin are blended in a mass ratio range of 70/30 to 50/50 so that one of the characteristics of electrical resistance and mechanical strength is not extremely deteriorated. Yes. Therefore, either the electric resistance or the mechanical strength is insufficient.
In the carbonaceous powder molding material according to the present invention, the benzoxazine resin selected as the main thermosetting resin has a remarkably low viscosity during molding and does not generate gas during curing. Accordingly, the gaps between the carbonaceous powder particles are sufficiently filled with the resin having good fluidity, and good mechanical strength can be imparted to the molded product. At the same time, since the resin becomes a thin film, it is presumed that the electric resistance can be lowered by bringing the carbonaceous powder particles closer to each other. Since the resin has good fluidity during molding and no gas is generated, the moldability is also good. Reducing the generation of gas also removes the cause of voids and creases in the molded product. By setting the mixing ratio of the carbonaceous powder and the thermosetting resin to 92/8 to 70/30 (mass ratio), the balance between the mechanical strength and the low electrical resistance characteristic of the molded product is improved.
[0007]
The carbonaceous powder molding material that uses the above-mentioned benzoxazine resin in combination with dimethylene ether type phenolic resin, like the carbonaceous powder molding material that uses benzoxazine resin as the main thermosetting resin, has sufficient mechanical strength and low electrical properties. Contributes to good molding of resistance molded products, but in addition, dimethylene ether type phenolic resin has a relatively low viscosity at the time of melting, less gas generated during molding, and excellent curability, This is advantageous in that the curability can be improved while maintaining the characteristics of the benzoxazine resin used together.
[0008]
The carbonaceous powder molding material in which a resol-type phenol resin is used in combination with the above-mentioned benzoxazine resin is similar to the carbonaceous powder molding material in which benzoxazine resin is the main thermosetting resin, and has sufficient mechanical strength and low electrical resistance. Although it contributes to good molding of the molded article, the resol-type phenol resin is advantageous in that it can improve the curability of the benzoxazine resin used together because it is excellent in curability.
[0009]
Each of the molding materials preferably contains at least one selected from expanded graphite powder, flaky graphite powder, and artificial graphite powder as the carbonaceous powder in order to reduce the electrical resistance of the molded product.
[0010]
The carbonaceous powder molding material according to the present invention can be produced by substantially dry-mixing the mixing ratio of the carbonaceous powder and the thermosetting resin powder as 92/8 to 70/30 (mass ratio), As thermosetting resin powder , benzoxazine resin powder and dimethylene ether type phenol resin powder are mainly mixed, or benzoxazine resin powder and resol type phenol resin powder are mixed and used .
[0011]
The carbonaceous molded product according to the present invention is obtained by pressure-molding the carbonaceous powder molding material.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, the main thermosetting resin benzoxazine resin is 6,6- (1-Methylethylidene) bis (3,4-dihydro-3-phenyl-2H-1,3-benzoxazine), 6,6- Commercially available products such as (1-Methylethylidene) bis (3,4-dihydro-3-methyl-2H-1,3-benzoxazine) can be used alone or in combination. If necessary, a hardening accelerator such as benzoic acid and maleic acid is added. You may use together as a thermosetting resin followed by a phenol resin, an epoxy resin, etc.
[0013]
And the main heat-hardening resin is used with a dimethylene ether type phenolic resin with benzoxazine resin. Also, Ru using resole phenolic resin with benzoxazine resin. Both the dimethylene ether type phenol resin and the resol type phenol resin are, for example, solid solids obtained by reacting in the presence of an alkali catalyst with phenols and formalins as the main components to form methylolated products, followed by heat condensation dehydration. It is a self-curing phenol resin.
[0014]
In the present invention, the carbonaceous powder preferably contains at least one selected from flaky graphite powder, expanded graphite powder, and artificial graphite powder, but in addition, carbon fiber powder may be mixed and used.
As the flaky graphite powder and artificial graphite powder, commercially available products can be used, and the particle diameter is preferably in the range of 5 to 100 μm. The expanded graphite powder can be produced by a known method. For example, scaly graphite is immersed in a mixed solution of sulfuric acid and nitric acid to form an acid compound, washed with water, and then rapidly heated to a temperature of 900 ° C. or higher to obtain expanded graphite. Then, the target expanded graphite powder can be obtained by compressing and pulverizing.
[0015]
The blending ratio of carbonaceous powder and thermosetting resin (the main resin is benzoxazine resin and dimethylene ether type phenol resin, or benzoxazine resin and resol type phenol resin) is the mechanical strength of the molded product when the resin content decreases. When the resin content is increased and the resin content is increased, the electrical resistance of the molded product is increased. Therefore, the mass ratio is set to 92/8 to 70/30.
[0016]
Molding materials can be prepared with carbonaceous powder and benzoxazine resin powder, or benzoxazine resin powder and dimethylene ether type phenol resin powder, or benzoxazine resin powder and resol type phenol resin powder, if necessary. An agent, a release agent, a surface modifier, and other related thermosetting resins are added, and these are directly dry mixed using a shaker, a mixer, a tumbler, a ball mill, a thunder crusher, or the like. In the dry mixing, a solvent may be added as long as the amount does not require drying after mixing. Such a case is also called dry mixing.
