Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present application relates to an electromagnetic noise suppression sheet that absorbs electromagnetic waves in the kHz to GHz band. [Background technology]

[0002] With the advancement of wireless communication technologies, typified by mobile phones, various devices and sensors are now wirelessly connected to networks. Furthermore, in the medical field, cordless devices are becoming increasingly common to prevent infection, and medical devices are beginning to connect wirelessly. These communications require high speed and large capacity over relatively short distances, and therefore use high frequencies. With the increase in devices using such high frequencies, there is an increasing risk of malfunctions in electronic devices and communications due to malfunctions caused by electromagnetic noise generated by the devices and interference with the electromagnetic waves used. Furthermore, in recent years, millimeter-wave radar has begun to be installed in vehicles to prevent automobile collisions. Since malfunctions in these medical and automotive devices could affect human lives, malfunctions must be avoided. Therefore, there is a growing need to apply electromagnetic noise suppression sheets to circuit elements and transmission lines that emit and receive electromagnetic waves in the kHz to GHz frequency range, as a measure to prevent malfunctions caused by electromagnetic noise and the resulting interference in devices, a so-called EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) measure.

[0003] In light of this situation, Patent Document 1 proposes using a laminate comprising a magnetic layer containing a magnetic powder and a binder resin and a polymer film layer as a magnetic sheet for suppressing electromagnetic wave transmission. The binder resin used in the magnetic layer of the laminate of Patent Document 1 contains a crystalline polyester resin, thereby achieving a laminate with excellent strength and no tack. However, if the magnetic layer contains a crystalline polyester resin, the crystallinity of the binder resin increases during the drying process during the production of the magnetic layer, causing the magnetic layer to harden. If the laminate is used as a magnetic sheet wrapped around a cable or connector, cracks may occur in the magnetic layer. Furthermore, if the magnetic layer contains a crystalline polyester resin, the adhesion between the magnetic layer and the polymer film layer may decrease, potentially leading to peeling between the magnetic layer and the polymer film layer.

[0004] Furthermore, prior art related to the use of the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of the present application is Patent Document 2. Patent Document 2 discloses a communication cable in which a magnetic sheath layer in which particulate magnetic material is dispersed in a polymer material is formed as an extrusion molded body.

[Means for solving the problem]

[0012] (Electromagnetic noise suppression sheet) An embodiment of the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of the present invention will be described below. The electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of this embodiment comprises a substrate and a magnetic layer, the magnetic layer containing a magnetic material and a binder, and the binder containing an amorphous resin (A) having a glass transition temperature of -50°C to 0°C and an amorphous resin (B) having a glass transition temperature of 10°C or higher.

[0013] In the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of the present application, the magnetic layer contains, as binders, an amorphous resin (A) having a glass transition temperature of -50°C to 0°C and an amorphous resin (B) having a glass transition temperature of 10°C or higher. This gives the magnetic layer excellent flexibility and adhesion, and even when the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of the present application is wrapped around a cable or connector, the magnetic layer does not crack or peel off from the substrate.

[0014] The amorphous resin (A) is particularly preferably an amorphous polyester (a) having a glass transition temperature of −50° C. to 0° C., and the amorphous resin (B) is particularly preferably an amorphous polyester (b) having a glass transition temperature of 10° C. or higher. By using an amorphous polyester (a) having a glass transition temperature of −50° C. to 0° C. and an amorphous polyester (b) having a glass transition temperature of 10° C. or higher as the binder for the magnetic layer, the flexibility and adhesion of the magnetic layer can be further improved.

[0015] Generally, when the glass transition temperature of an amorphous polyester is low, adhesion and flexibility are improved but tackiness (adhesiveness) increases, whereas when the glass transition temperature of an amorphous polyester is high, tackiness decreases but the surface becomes hard and flexibility decreases. For this reason, the binder of this embodiment preferably uses a combination of an amorphous polyester (a) having a glass transition temperature of -50°C to 0°C and an amorphous polyester (b) having a glass transition temperature of 10°C or higher. This makes it possible to realize an electromagnetic noise suppression sheet that can ensure sufficient adhesion and flexibility while suppressing tackiness.

[0016] The electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of this embodiment. In Fig. 1, the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet 10 includes a substrate 11 and a magnetic layer 12 disposed on the substrate 11. In Fig. 1, the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet 10 has a two-layer structure consisting of the substrate 11 and the magnetic layer 12, but it may also have a three-layer structure by further disposing an adhesive layer on the magnetic layer 12 side.

[0017] 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing another example of an electromagnetic noise suppression sheet according to this embodiment. In Fig. 2, an electromagnetic noise suppression sheet 10' includes a substrate 11, a metal layer 13 disposed on the substrate 11, and a magnetic layer 12 disposed on the metal layer 13. In Fig. 2, the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet 10' has a three-layer structure consisting of the substrate 11, the magnetic layer 12, and the metal layer 13, but it may also have a four-layer structure by further disposing an adhesive layer on the magnetic layer 12 side.

[0018] The overall thickness of the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of this embodiment is preferably 10 to 85 μm, and more preferably 20 to 60 μm. If the overall thickness of the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet is too thin, the magnetic layer will also be thin, reducing the electromagnetic wave absorption and the strength of the entire sheet. On the other hand, if the overall thickness of the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet is too thick, the flexibility will be reduced, making it difficult to wrap around a cable or connector for use.

[0019] Next, each of the components of the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of this embodiment will be described.

[0020] <Base material> The substrate used in the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of this embodiment serves as a base on which the magnetic layer is formed.

[0021] The substrate may be any flexible material capable of ensuring adhesion to the magnetic layer, and typically a resin film is used. Examples of resins constituting the substrate include polyolefin resins (polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.), polyester resins (polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polybutylene naphthalate (PBN), etc.), polyimide resins, polyamide resins, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, ionomer resins, ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid copolymers, ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid ester copolymers, ethylene-butene copolymers, ethylene-hexene copolymers, polyurethane resins, polyether ketone resins, polyether resins, polyethersulfone resins, polystyrene resins (polystyrene, etc.), polyvinyl chloride resins, polyvinylidene chloride resins, polyvinyl alcohol resins, polyvinyl acetate resins, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymers, polycarbonate resins, fluorine-based resins, silicone resins, cellulose resins, and crosslinked versions of these resins. Among these, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is more preferable in terms of mechanical properties and cost. One or more of these resin materials can be used. The resin material may have a functional group as needed. A functional monomer or a modifying monomer may be grafted onto the resin material.

[0022] The surface of the substrate may be subjected to a known surface treatment to improve adhesion to the adjacent magnetic layer. Specific examples of such surface treatments include corona discharge treatment, ozone exposure treatment, high-voltage shock exposure treatment, and ionizing radiation treatment. The substrate may also be subjected to a coating treatment with an undercoat (such as silicone treatment), a primer treatment, a matte treatment, a crosslinking treatment, or the like.

[0023] The substrate may be in the form of a single layer or a laminate of two or more layers, and may contain known auxiliary agents such as fillers, flame retardants, antidegradants, antistatic agents, softeners, and plasticizers, as needed.

[0024] The thickness of the substrate is not particularly limited, but is preferably 5 to 20 μm, and more preferably 10 to 15 μm. If the thickness of the substrate is within the above range, the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of this embodiment can achieve both strength and flexibility.

[0025] The substrate may be any material that is flexible and can ensure adhesion to the magnetic layer, and therefore a metal layer such as a metal foil, which will be described later, may be used as the substrate instead of the resin film. That is, a metal layer may be used as substrate 11 in FIG. 1.

[0026] <Magnetic layer> The magnetic layer used in the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of this embodiment contains a magnetic material and a binder. There are no particular limitations on the thickness of the magnetic layer, but if it is too thin, electromagnetic wave absorption decreases, and if it is too thick, flexibility decreases, so it is usually set in the range of 5 to 70 μm. The constituent materials of the magnetic layer are described below.

[0027] [Binder] The binder may contain an amorphous resin (A) with a glass transition temperature of -50°C to 0°C and an amorphous resin (B) with a glass transition temperature of 10°C or higher. Amorphous resins have high solubility in water and other solvents and are excellent in dispersing magnetic materials (magnetic powder). Therefore, it is possible to form a magnetic layer into a sheet by dispersing magnetic powder in resin dissolved in water or other solvent, applying the resin to a substrate in a desired thickness, and drying it.

[0028] By using an amorphous resin (A) with a glass transition temperature of -50°C to 0°C, the magnetic layer can be made more flexible and its adhesion to the substrate can be improved. However, using only the amorphous resin (A) can easily cause the magnetic layer to become tacky, which can lead to the magnetic layers sticking together when the magnetic sheets are stacked or wound into a roll. On the other hand, using only the amorphous resin (B) with a glass transition temperature of 10°C or higher can make the surface of the magnetic layer hard and less likely to stick, but it can also reduce the adhesion between the magnetic layer and the substrate and cause the magnetic layer to crack when wound and used. For this reason, the binder of this embodiment uses a combination of the above amorphous resins (A) and (B).

[0029] The upper limit of the glass transition temperature of the amorphous resin (B) having a glass transition temperature of 10° C. or higher is preferably 100° C., and more preferably 80° C. If the glass transition temperature is higher than this upper limit, even when used in combination with an amorphous resin (A) having a glass transition temperature of −50° C. to 0° C., the surface of the magnetic layer is likely to harden, which may reduce adhesion between the magnetic layer and the substrate, or may make the magnetic layer more susceptible to cracking when attached to an uneven or curved surface or when folded during wrapping.

[0030] The amorphous resin (A) may be an amorphous polyester, amorphous polyurethane, amorphous acrylic, or the like having a glass transition temperature of -50°C to 0°C, and the amorphous resin (B) may be an amorphous polyester, amorphous polyurethane, amorphous acrylic, or the like having a glass transition temperature of 10°C or higher. Of these, the amorphous resin (A) is preferably an amorphous polyester (a) having a glass transition temperature of -50°C to 0°C, and the amorphous resin (B) is preferably an amorphous polyester (b) having a glass transition temperature of 10°C or higher. Of the amorphous resins, amorphous polyesters have excellent solubility and flexibility and are suitable for producing a sheet-shaped magnetic layer.

[0031] From the above viewpoints, the content ratio of the amorphous polyester (a) to the amorphous polyester (b) is preferably (a):(b)=95:5 to 35:65 by mass, and more preferably (a):(b)=90:10 to 50:50. The content ratio of the amorphous polyesters (a) and (b) can be estimated to some extent from the intensities of the two glass transition temperature peaks detected by measuring the glass transition temperature of the magnetic layer. The glass transition temperature can be measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC).

[0032] Examples of the amorphous polyesters (a) and (b) include "Vylon" (registered trademark) manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd., "Pluscoat" (registered trademark) manufactured by Goo Chemical Co., Ltd., "Nichigo Polyester" (registered trademark) manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, and "Alumatex" (registered trademark) manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. These have excellent solubility in water and organic solvents, and can be used by dissolving them in water or organic solvents at any ratio.

[0033] Preferably, at least one of the amorphous polyester (a) and the amorphous polyester (b) contains a crosslinked portion crosslinked by an amide bond. This further improves the adhesion of the magnetic layer to the substrate. Typically, the amorphous polyesters (a) and (b) have carboxyl groups at least at the molecular terminals, and carboxyl groups can be optionally added to the molecular chains. Therefore, crosslinked portions crosslinked by an amide bond can be formed by using a crosslinking agent having an oxazoline group or a carbodiimide group, as described below.

[0034] In addition to the amorphous resin (A) and the amorphous resin (B), the binder may contain at least one of a crystalline resin and an amorphous resin having a glass transition temperature greater than 0° C. and less than 10° C., to the extent that the effects of the invention are not impaired. In this case, the total amount of the amorphous resin (A) and the amorphous resin (B) is preferably 90% by mass or more, and more preferably 95% by mass or more, of the total amount of the binder.

[0035] [Magnetic material] Although both soft and hard magnetic materials can be used as the magnetic material, it is preferable to use a soft magnetic material. Soft magnetic materials have high initial magnetic permeability and can exhibit electromagnetic wave absorption performance even when contained in a small amount in the magnetic layer, so that electromagnetic noise suppression effects can be exhibited even when the magnetic layer is thin.

[0036] Examples of the soft magnetic material include iron, silicon iron, permalloy, sendust, permendur, soft ferrite, electromagnetic stainless steel, amorphous magnetic alloys, and nanocrystalline magnetic alloys, but carbonyl iron, represented by Fe(CO)5, is particularly preferred as the soft magnetic material because carbonyl iron can exhibit electromagnetic wave absorption performance (electromagnetic noise suppression effect) even in relatively high frequency ranges such as the GHz band.

[0037] Examples of the hard magnetic material include hard ferrite (ferrite magnet), alnico magnet, samarium-cobalt magnet, neodymium magnet, samarium-iron-nitrogen magnet, and the like.

[0038] The magnetic material is typically provided as a spherical or flat powder, with an average particle size of preferably 0.1 to 100 μm, more preferably 1 to 20 μm. If the particle size of the magnetic material is too small, the particles are prone to secondary aggregation, making it difficult to obtain a uniform coating film (magnetic layer). On the other hand, if the particle size is too large, the particles protrude from the magnetic layer as protrusions, which can easily cause the magnetic layer to peel off from the substrate when applied to an uneven or curved surface or when wrapped around it. Furthermore, if the particle size is large, the particles tend to settle when used as a coating material, making it difficult to obtain a uniform coating film. The average particle size can be measured using a laser diffraction / scattering particle size distribution analyzer.

[0039] The volume content of the soft magnetic material contained in the magnetic layer is preferably 30 to 80%, more preferably 40 to 70%. If the volume content is below 30%, the electromagnetic wave absorption performance (electromagnetic noise suppression effect) of the magnetic layer tends to be insufficient, while if it exceeds 80%, the proportion of binder in the magnetic layer decreases, reducing the adhesion of the magnetic layer to the substrate and making the magnetic layer more susceptible to cracking and powder falling when bent.

[0040] <Metal layer> As shown in Fig. 2, when a metal layer is disposed on the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of this embodiment, the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet can be endowed with electric field shielding performance, and can suppress not only magnetic noise but also electrical noise. In Fig. 2, the metal layer is disposed between the substrate and the magnetic layer, but it may also be disposed on the outer surface of the magnetic layer.

[0041] The type of metal constituting the metal layer is not particularly limited as long as it has flexibility and adhesion to the magnetic layer, but aluminum, copper, etc. are preferred because they are inexpensive, can be easily processed into a thin film, and have excellent flexibility.

[0042] The thickness of the metal layer is not particularly limited, but if it is too thick, flexibility decreases, so it is usually set in the range of 0.1 to 30 μm.

[0043] The metal layer can be used alone as a metal foil, but can also be used by forming a metal thin film on the above-mentioned substrate (resin film) by vapor deposition or sputtering.

[0044] As mentioned above, the metal layer can also be used as the substrate 11 in FIG.

[0045] <Adhesive layer> When an adhesive layer is provided on the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of this embodiment, the thickness of the adhesive layer is preferably 10 to 50 μm, more preferably 15 to 35 μm. If the thickness is less than 10 μm, sufficient adhesive strength may not be obtained. If the thickness exceeds 50 μm, the adhesive effect of the adhesive layer saturates and the overall thickness of the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet increases, reducing the flexibility of the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet, reducing its ability to conform when attached to electronic components, and making it difficult to wrap around wiring, etc.

[0046] (Method of manufacturing an electromagnetic noise suppression sheet) An embodiment of a method for manufacturing an electromagnetic noise suppression sheet according to the present invention will now be described. The method for manufacturing an electromagnetic noise suppression sheet according to the present invention is the same as the method for manufacturing the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet according to the present invention, and includes the steps of mixing a magnetic material, an amorphous resin (A) having a glass transition temperature of -50°C to 0°C, and an amorphous resin (B) having a glass transition temperature of 10°C or higher together with a solvent to prepare a coating material for forming a magnetic layer, and applying the coating material for forming a magnetic layer to a substrate and drying it.

[0047] <Paint for forming magnetic layer> The magnetic layer-forming paint can be prepared by mixing a magnetic material, an amorphous resin (A) having a glass transition temperature of -50°C to 0°C, an amorphous resin (B) having a glass transition temperature of 10°C or higher, and a solvent. Generally, amorphous resins have excellent paint properties, so by using the magnetic layer-forming paint, a magnetic layer can be easily formed on a substrate using a normal coating process.

[0048] The magnetic material can be the same as the magnetic material that constitutes the magnetic layer of the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of the present application.

[0049] The amorphous resin (A) having a glass transition temperature of -50°C to 0°C and the amorphous resin (B) having a glass transition temperature of 10°C or higher can be the same as the resin materials constituting the magnetic layer of the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet described above.

[0050] At least one resin selected from the amorphous resin (A) having a glass transition temperature of −50° C. to 0° C. and the amorphous resin (B) having a glass transition temperature of 10° C. or higher preferably contains a carboxyl group, which allows crosslinking moieties to be formed in the amorphous resins (A) and (B) by using a crosslinking agent.

[0051] As described above, amorphous polyesters have carboxyl groups at least at the molecular terminals and can optionally have carboxyl groups added to their molecular chains, so that the amorphous resin (A) is particularly preferably an amorphous polyester (a) having a glass transition temperature of −50° C. to 0° C., and the amorphous resin (B) is particularly preferably an amorphous polyester (b) having a glass transition temperature of 10° C. or higher. Furthermore, since many amorphous polyesters are water-soluble and the magnetic material also has good wettability to aqueous solvents, the amorphous polyester can be easily dispersed in aqueous solvents together with the magnetic material.

[0052] The crosslinking agent contained in the magnetic layer-forming coating material is preferably a resin having at least one selected from an oxazoline group and a carbodiimide group. Oxazoline groups and carbodiimide groups react with carboxyl groups to form amide bonds, allowing the amorphous polyester resins (a) and (b) to be crosslinked by amide bonds. This improves the adhesion of the formed magnetic layer and prevents magnetic powder from falling off during magnetic layer formation.

[0053] The crosslinking agent reacts quickly with the carboxyl groups of the amorphous polyester due to the heat of the drying step after the magnetic layer-forming coating material is applied to the substrate, forming crosslinked portions through amide bonds. Alternatively, crosslinked portions can be formed using epoxy bonds, urethane bonds, etc., but because the reaction rate for forming crosslinks with epoxy bonds, urethane bonds, etc. is slow, the crosslinking reaction may not be completed by the time of the drying step and winding step after the coating material is applied to the substrate, and there is a possibility that the magnetic layers may stick together during the winding step and the subsequent aging step.

[0054] Examples of resins having the above-mentioned oxazoline group include "Epocross" (registered trademark) manufactured by Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd., and examples of resins having the above-mentioned carbodiimide group include "Carbodilite" (registered trademark) manufactured by Nisshinbo Chemical Inc.

[0055] It is preferable to use water as the solvent. The magnetic material has excellent wettability with water and can be easily dispersed in water, which allows for homogenization of the coating film containing the magnetic material and improves the filling of the magnetic material in the coating film. In addition to water, water-soluble solvents such as ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, n-propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, n-butyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, and propylene glycol can also be used. These water-soluble solvents can be used alone, in combination, or further mixed with water to obtain the desired coating material.

[0056] The content of the solvent is not particularly limited, but may be 50.0% by mass or more and 99.5% by mass or less relative to the total mass of the coating material for forming the magnetic layer.

[0057] The coating material for forming the magnetic layer may further contain a surface conditioner, an antifoaming agent, a thickener, and the like.

[0058] <Magnetic layer formation> Examples of methods that can be used to apply the magnetic layer-forming coating material onto a substrate include bar coating, reverse coating, gravure coating, microgravure (registered trademark) coating, die coating, dipping, spin coating, slit coating, and spray coating.

[0059] The drying after application is preferably carried out at 100 to 150°C for 3 to 30 minutes under conditions that allow the solvent component of the magnetic layer-forming coating material to evaporate. If the solvent remains in the magnetic layer, the strength tends to decrease. Drying methods include, for example, hot air drying, heat drying, vacuum drying, and natural drying.

[0060] (cable) An embodiment of a cable of the present application will be described. The cable of this embodiment is characterized by including the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of the embodiment of the present application described above. The cable of this embodiment includes communication cables such as coaxial cables, twisted pair cables, and multi-core cables. In particular, coaxial cables are used for high-frequency transmission and are used as video cables.

[0061] A coaxial cable, which is an example of a cable according to this embodiment, will now be described. In this coaxial cable, the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of the present application described above is used as the magnetic sheath layer of the coaxial cable. By using the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of the present application as the magnetic sheath layer of the coaxial cable, the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of the present application can function as the electromagnetic noise suppression layer of the coaxial cable. Furthermore, by using the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of the present application as the magnetic sheath layer of the coaxial cable, it is possible to prevent cracks from occurring in the magnetic sheath layer and to prevent magnetic powder from falling off from the cut surface when the coaxial cable is cut.

[0062] Next, the coaxial cable of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings in comparison with a conventional coaxial cable.

[0063] Fig. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of a conventional coaxial cable. In Fig. 3, conventional coaxial cable 20 includes an inner conductor 21, an insulating layer 22, a metal foil 23, a metal braid 24, a magnetic sheath layer 25, and an outer coating layer 26. Details of each component of coaxial cable 20 are described in detail in Patent Document 2 (JP 2022-108557 A).

[0064] The magnetic sheath layer 25 of the conventional coaxial cable 20 is formed as an extrusion molded body by extruding a magnetic sheath layer-forming material, which is formed by dispersing magnetic powder in a matrix material made of a polymer material, onto the outer surface of a linear conductor consisting of an inner conductor 21, an insulating layer 22, a metal foil 23, and a metal braid 24. This has caused problems such as an increased thickness of the magnetic sheath layer 25 and a longer processing time. Furthermore, when the coaxial cable is cut, magnetic powder is likely to fall off from the cut surface.

[0065] 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of a coaxial cable according to this embodiment. A coaxial cable 30 according to this embodiment includes an inner conductor 31, an insulating layer 32, a metal foil 33, a metal braid 34, a magnetic sheath layer 35, and an outer coating layer 36. The magnetic sheath layer 35 uses the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of the present application and is composed of a base layer 35a and a magnetic layer 35b disposed on one side of the base layer 35a.

[0066] In FIG. 4, the magnetic layer 35b of the magnetic sheath layer 35 is disposed on the axial center side, but the base layer 35a may also be disposed on the axial center side.

[0067] The magnetic sheath layer 35 of the coaxial cable 30 of this embodiment can be formed by wrapping the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of the present application around the outer surface of a linear conductor consisting of an inner conductor 31, an insulating layer 32, a metal foil 33, and a metal braid 34. This allows the thickness of the magnetic sheath layer to be thin, and also shortens the processing time. Furthermore, this also prevents magnetic powder from falling off from the cut surface when the coaxial cable is cut.

[0068] In addition to the coaxial cables, the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of the present invention can be used on uneven surfaces or corners of electronic devices that emit electromagnetic noise or that require electromagnetic noise prevention. The electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of the present invention can also be used as a substitute for ferrite cores used in cables for electronic devices. [Example]

[0069] The present application will be described in detail below using examples. However, the present application is not limited to the following examples. Unless otherwise specified, "parts" in the following means "parts by mass."

[0070] Example 1 <Preparation of paint for forming magnetic layer> The following components were mixed and dispersed to prepare a magnetic layer forming paint A. (1) Soft magnetic material (Tenichi Co., Ltd. spherical carbonyl iron powder, product name “YW-3”): 53.43 parts (2) Amorphous polyester (a) (water-soluble polyester resin solution, manufactured by GOO Chemical Co., Ltd., trade name "PLASCOAT Z-3310", Tg: -20°C, solid content: 25.0% by mass, solvent: water): 15.77 parts (3) Amorphous polyester (b) (water-soluble polyester resin solution, manufactured by GOO Chemical Co., Ltd., trade name "PLASCOAT Z-730", Tg: 43°C, solid content: 25.0% by mass, solvent: water): 10.51 parts (4) Solvent (n-propyl alcohol): 10.00 parts (5) Pure water: 10.29 parts

[0071] In the magnetic layer forming paint A, the content ratio of the amorphous polyesters (a) and (b) was (a):(b) = 60:40 by mass, and the volume content of the soft magnetic material relative to the total solid content of the magnetic layer forming paint A was 60%.

[0072] <Magnetic layer formation> Next, a 12 μm thick PET film (manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd., product name "Ester Film E5100") was used as a substrate, and the magnetic layer forming paint A was applied to one main surface of the substrate using an applicator, and then dried at 120° C. for 3 minutes. This was cut into a 150 mm square and pressed in a press at 50° C. and 210 kg / cm. 2 The sheet was pressed at 100° C. for 30 seconds to form a magnetic layer on one of its main surfaces, producing an electromagnetic noise suppression sheet of Example 1.

[0114] The electromagnetic noise suppression sheets of Examples 1 to 12 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 were evaluated as follows.

[0115] <Adhesion> First, a cutter knife was used to make 11 cuts vertically and horizontally at 1 mm intervals on the magnetic layer surface of the prepared electromagnetic noise suppression sheet, reaching down to the substrate, creating 100 grids. Next, cellophane tape was firmly pressed onto the grid areas, and the edge of the tape was quickly peeled off at a 45° angle. The state of the grids was observed, and the adhesion of the magnetic layer of the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet was evaluated as follows:

[0116] Grade A: When none of the grids are peeled off Grade B: When the peeling of the intersection of the cut and part of the grid is less than 5% Grade C: When the peeling of the intersection of the cut and part of the grid is 5% or more

[0117] <Flexibility> The electromagnetic noise suppression sheet thus produced was cut into a 10 mm × 100 mm tape, and the substrate surface of this tape-like sheet was wrapped around the outer periphery of a stainless steel metal rod so that it was in contact with the periphery of the rod at approximately 360°, and this was held in this state for 1 minute. After that, the magnetic layer surface of the wrapped tape-like sheet was observed under a microscope, and the flexibility of the magnetic layer of the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet was evaluated as follows.

[0118] Evaluation A: When wrapped around a stainless steel rod with a diameter of 1 mm, no peeling or cracks occur in the magnetic layer. Evaluation B: When wrapped around a 2 mm diameter stainless steel rod, no peeling or cracks occur in the magnetic layer. Evaluation C: When wrapped around a 2mm diameter stainless steel rod, peeling or cracks occur in the magnetic layer.

[0119] <Tackiness> The electromagnetic noise suppression sheet thus produced was cut into two 10 cm square pieces, which were then stacked so that the magnetic layer surface of one sheet was in contact with the substrate surface of the other sheet, and a 1 cm diameter weight with a 1 kg load was pressed against the stacked sheets for 30 seconds. After that, the state of adhesion of the stacked sheets was observed, and the tackiness of the magnetic layer of the electromagnetic noise suppression sheet was evaluated as follows:

[0120] Evaluation A: When the top sheet of the stacked sheets is lifted, the bottom sheet does not adhere. Evaluation B: When the upper sheet of a stack of sheets is lifted, the lower sheet adheres to it, but falls off due to its own weight within 5 seconds. Rating C: When the top sheet of a stack of sheets is lifted, the bottom sheet sticks to it and does not fall for more than 5 seconds.

[0121] <Magnetic noise suppression effect> The magnetic noise suppression effect of the manufactured electromagnetic noise suppression sheet was confirmed by evaluating the internal decoupling ratio (Rda) using an intra-decoupling ratio measurement system (compliant with IEC62333-2) that uses a vector network analyzer and a loop antenna. Specifically, the internal decoupling ratio at 100 MHz and the frequency at which the maximum internal decoupling ratio was reached from 100 MHz to 10 GHz were measured.
