Method for production of carbonized cloth, and carbonized cloth produced thereby

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for producing a carbonized fiber cloth by carbonizing a raw fiber cloth under heating, wherein the raw fiber cloth is a woven fabric, a knitted fabric or a woven and knitted fabric composed of a cellulose fiber yarn. The method comprises the steps of: holding the raw fiber cloth which has been dried to such an extent that the moisture content becomes less than 25% by restraining the cloth in a vertical or transverse direction; heating the cloth continuously to a temperature ranging from 250 to 450 DEG C at a heating rate of 50 to 200 DEG C / hour under an oxidizing atmosphere having an oxygen partial pressure of 50 mmHg or higher and subsequently to a final heating temperature ranging from 1000 to 1600 DEG C at a heating rate of 50 to 200 DEG C / hour under a non-oxidizing atmosphere having an oxygen partial pressure of less than 50 mmHg in a heating furnace; and heating the cloth by retaining the cloth at the final heating temperature for a predetermined time period. The method enables to produce a carbonized cloth having excellent electrical conduction property, heat resistance, electromagnetic wave absorption property and the like and also having excellent mechanical strength and flexibility in a relatively simple and economically advantageous manner.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing carbonized cloth and a carbonized cloth produced therefrom. In detail, the present invention relates to a method for economically producing carbonized cloth with good yields by using cellulose-based fiber cloth as a raw material. The carbonized cloth is excellent in mechanical strength, flexibility, chemical resistance, and washing resistance. It is easy to handle and can be used in various applications due to its excellent electrical conductivity, heat resistance, and odor absorbing properties. Background technique [0002] Since carbon fiber has a higher specific modulus and specific strength than other fibers, and is also chemically and thermally stable, it has been widely used as a raw material for various structural composite materials.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Pitch-based carbon fibers generally have higher elastic modulus, thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity than PAN-based carbon fibers, and are also advantageous in terms of raw material cost, but pitch-based fibers have the following disadvantages: their strength is reflected in the carbonization process, and in the In the state of pitch fiber and non-melting fiber, the mechanical strength is very weak and the carbon fiber is very brittle, so it is difficult to handle in the manufacturing process, and a difficult technology is required, so the manufacturing cost increases.

Therefore, although it is desirable to process these carbon fibers into cloth or sheet form, as mentioned above, it is difficult to perform spinning and weaving processing like ordinary fibers due to their low elongation at break and resistance to bending. , but the carbon fiber is paralleled in one direction, impregnated with various resins, and processed into a prepreg form with a stabilized structure

The prepreg obtained in this way has a relatively simple structure and a high density. In addition, it has the disadvantages of low conformability to curved surfaces during molding, or tends to cause tow disorder during curved surface molding.

In addition, due to the influence of the impregnated resin, the following problems arise: the various performances of carbon fiber are reduced, for example, when it is made into a composite structural material, the adhesion with the matrix is ​​reduced, the electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity are reduced, and harmful substances are generated during combustion, etc.

[0020] However, the method of carbonizing the raw material fiber cloth shown in Patent Document 8 takes a very long time and is inefficient, and similarly to the techniques shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the characteristics of the obtained carbonized fiber cloth are also deteriorated. insufficient

In addition, since a strong pressing force is often applied to the entire surface of the raw material cloth during production, it cannot ideally follow the shrinkage of the cloth during carbonization, and may cause partial damage to the cloth, etc.

In addition, the method shown in Patent Document 7, which performs the pretreatment of impregnating the silicon compound as described above, is expected to improve the mechanical strength, but it does not reach a satisfactory level in terms of the flexibility of the fibers, and because the carbonized fibers remain Contains silicon, so there are problems from the thermal, electrical or chemical properties of the fibers

In addition, using the continuous furnace method, the manufacturing equipment becomes very large, and heating is performed in a predetermined temperature rise pattern. In a certain temperature range, several conveying rollers, turning rollers, etc. are arranged, and it is necessary to hang the raw material cloth between them. The traction operation is carried out on the basis of time, and the elongation at break is very small during carbonization. In order to make the cloth that is not resistant to bending pass through the furnace continuously, very delicate tension adjustment is required, so the operation is difficult, and once the cloth breaks, the Operation must be completely interrupted, so inefficiency and poor manufacturing yield

[0021] As mentioned above, conventionally, the production efficiency of carbonized fiber cloth made of cellulose-based fibers is low, and even as the obtained carbonized fiber cloth, cloth with sufficient characteristics cannot be obtained.
