Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0014] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described. The description given below is a typical embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, the functional group of the cellulose molecule described in the following examples is not limited to a carboxyl group, and the metal material is not limited to copper.

Examples

[0015] A composite of a compound containing cellulose and a metal material (hereinafter, also referred to as "the composite of the present invention") according to the manufacturing method of the present invention is composed of a sheet made of cellulose fibers or cellulose nanofibers (hereinafter, also referred to as "cellulose sheet") and a slurry in which cellulose nanofibers are dispersed in a solvent (hereinafter, also referred to as "cellulose slurry"), and a film made of a metal such as copper (hereinafter, also referred to as "metal film"). As described in Non-Patent Document 1, among cellulose nanofiber materials, there are those in which the functional group of the cellulose molecule is substituted with a carboxy group. On the other hand, for example, carboxylato ligands are known to form organometallic complexes with metal atoms. Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be shown. A cellulose slurry with a concentration of 2% by weight in which carboxyl groups are introduced onto the surface of cellulose nanofiber crystals was applied onto a cellulose sheet with a size of about 5 cm × 8 cm and a thickness of about 0.2 mm and whose surface of cellulose nanofibers was not chemically modified. A copper mesh with a size of about 4 cm × 8 cm and a thickness of about 0.1 mm was placed thereon, and further, the above-mentioned cellulose slurry with a concentration of 2% by weight was applied thereon, and the above-mentioned cellulose sheet was stacked thereon. Next, after applying the above carboxyl group-introduced cellulose slurry, a plurality of copper wirings with a thickness of about 0.1 mm, a width of about 0.5 mm, and a length of about 7 cm are arranged, the above carboxyl group-introduced cellulose slurry is applied thereon, and further, a cellulose sheet that is not chemically modified with a size of about 5 cm × 6 cm and a thickness of about 0.2 mm is superposed thereon. In the composite according to the production method of the present invention, in the cellulose sheet in contact with the metal film, the functional group of the cellulose molecule and the metal atom on the surface of the metal film have a chemical bond, so that the adhesion between the cellulose sheet and the metal film is enhanced. However, it is not preferable for such a cellulose sheet having such a functional group to be in contact with the external environment, for example, from the viewpoint of moisture resistance. In the composite of the present invention, the cellulose sheet is formed of a cellulose material composed of at least two or more layers of cellulose molecules having different functional groups. In FIG. 1, two sets of multilayer cellulose sheets cover the upper and lower sides of a plurality of copper film wirings processed into a tape shape, a copper film is arranged in the lower layer, and a multilayer cellulose sheet is further arranged in the lower layer. The above slurry layer is not described. The copper film in the lower layer may be processed into a mesh shape. Although not shown in FIG. 1, an electronic device component such as a semiconductor circuit component or a sensor is mounted on an uncovered portion provided on the uppermost multilayer cellulose sheet, that is, a portion where the surface of the metal material is exposed without being covered by the cellulose material, and power is supplied to the semiconductor circuit component or signal input / output is performed through the copper film wiring processed into the tape shape. The copper film in the lower layer has a shielding function and a heat dissipation function. Although not shown in FIG. 1, the composite of the present invention has a curved portion in a part thereof, and the shape of the curved portion can be optimized according to the industrial application scene described later.

[0016] Next, another embodiment of the present invention is shown. A cellulose slurry with a concentration of 2% by weight in which carboxy groups are introduced onto the surface of cellulose nanofiber crystals was applied to the surface of a copper wire with a wire diameter of about 1 mm and a length of about 8 cm, and the cellulose sheet was processed into a tape shape with a width of about 0.5 cm and a thickness of about 0.2 mm where the surface of the cellulose nanofiber is not chemically modified, and then used to cover the bandage and dried. In FIG. 2, using the above manufacturing method, a multilayer cellulose sheet processed into a tape shape is used to cover a metal material such as copper processed into a linear or rod shape to form an electric wire shape (hereinafter also referred to as a “coated electric wire”). The above slurry layer is not described. At this time, in the cellulose sheet in contact with the metal film, the functional group of the cellulose molecule and the metal atom on the surface of the metal film have a chemical bond. The cellulose material of the inner sheet has a carboxy group, and the cellulose material of the outer sheet in contact with the external environment containing moisture does not have a carboxy group. A second cellulose slurry was applied and adhered to the surfaces of each of the first composite manufactured by covering the copper wire with a cellulose sheet using the cellulose slurry as an adhesive, and the second composite manufactured in the same manner, and then dried. In FIG. 2, using the above manufacturing method, a plurality of coated electric wires are arranged in a matrix shape, and some of the coated electric wires are used as power supply lines or signal lines, and the other coated electric wires located around the power supply lines or signal lines are used as shield lines and heat dissipation lines. Although not shown in FIG. 2, the composite of the present invention has a curved portion in a part thereof, and the shape of the curved portion can be optimized according to the industrial application described later. Although not shown in FIG. 2, electronic device components such as semiconductor circuit components or sensors or power supply components are mounted on the non-coated portion at the end or in the middle of the composite of the present invention, that is, the portion where the surface of the metal material is exposed without being covered by the cellulose material.

Industrial Applicability

[0017] As an industrial applicability of the composite of the present invention described above, it may be used for the purpose of enhancing electromagnetic noise shielding and heat dissipation of a part of a circuit board incorporated in a computer, a data server, an automobile, a train, a construction machine, an aircraft, a drone, a robot, etc. Also, when introducing electronic devices such as semiconductor circuits and sensors in the future electrification such as IoT in fields and livestock farms, that is, in indoor and outdoor sites, it may be used for the purpose of enhancing electromagnetic noise shielding and heat dissipation. In these industrial applications, it goes without saying that the replacement of some of the conventionally used petroleum-derived materials with the naturally-derived cellulose materials can contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
