  • Patent number: 10377838
    Abstract: Provided is a resin composite material in which a carbon material with a graphene structure is dispersed in a synthetic resin and which has a high mechanical strength and a low linear expansion coefficient and a method for producing the resin composite material. A resin composite material contains a synthetic resin and a carbon material with a graphene structure dispersed in the synthetic resin, wherein the synthetic resin is grafted onto the carbon material and the grafting ratio thereof onto the carbon material is 5% to 3300% by weight. A method for producing a resin composite material includes the steps of: preparing a resin composite containing a synthetic resin and a carbon material with a graphene structure dispersed in the synthetic resin; and grafting the synthetic resin onto the carbon material concurrently with or after the step of preparing the resin composite.

  • Patent number: 10047219
    Abstract: Provided is a polyolefin-based resin composition capable of obtaining a molded product having a high modulus of elongation and a low coefficient of linear expansion. The polyolefin-based resin composition includes a polyolefin-based resin containing either one or both of an acid-modified polyolefin-based resin and a polyolefin-based resin with a hydroxyl group, and flaked graphite. The flaked graphite is uniformly dispersed in the polyolefin-based resin. As a result, a molded product formed by using the polyolefin-based resin composition has excellent mechanical strength such as a high modulus of elongation, a low coefficient of linear expansion, and high dimensional stability, and can be used for various applications such as a material that is suitable for use as the exterior panels of automobiles or a steel sheet replacement material.

  • Publication number: 20140378599
    Abstract: Provided is a process for manufacturing a resin composite material having high mechanical strength. The process comprises the steps of: preparing a resin composition comprising a carbon material having a graphene structure, a solvent, and a thermoplastic resin; applying a shearing force to a solid of the resin composition so that the total shearing strain, which is a product of shear rate (s?1) and shear time (s), is 80000 or more either at a temperature lower than the melting point of the thermoplastic resin when the thermoplastic resin is crystalline or at a temperature in the vicinity of Tg of the thermoplastic resin when the thermoplastic resin is amorphous; and kneading the resin composition at a temperature equal to or higher than the boiling point of the solvent to obtain the resin composite material.

  • Publication number: 20130034709
    Abstract: The present invention provides a resin composition which can be molded easily and from which can be obtained synthetic resin molded articles superior in mechanical strength such as modulus of tensile elasticity, appearance such as surface smoothness, and dimensional stability. Since the resin composition of the present invention is characterized by containing a synthetic resin and a flaked graphite that is a laminate of graphene sheets the number of which is 150 or less and that has an aspect ratio of 20 or more, it is superior in moldability and synthetic resin molded articles with desired shapes can be produced therefrom by a widely used molding method.
