  • Patent number: 11942641
    Abstract: Resin-adhered graphite particles are obtained by causing a modified novolac-type phenolic resin to adhere to graphite particles. At least part of surfaces of the graphite particles is coated with a carbonaceous coating by heating the resin-adhered graphite particles in a non-oxidizing atmosphere at 900 to 1,500° C. to carbonize the modified novolac-type phenolic resin. Arylene groups having hydroxy groups account for 5 to 95 mol % of arylene groups constituting the modified novolac-type phenolic resin. The obtained carbonaceous substance-coated graphite particles exhibit excellent battery properties when used as a negative electrode material for a lithium ion secondary battery.

  • Patent number: 10106729
    Abstract: A resin composition is used for forming a surface layer coating at least a part of an outer surface of a particle. The particle is adapted to be packed into a fracture formed in a subterranean formation, and contains a thermosetting resin and a hydrophilic polymer. It is preferred that the resin composition further contains a surfactant. According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an effect of preventing pieces of core particles from being scattered due to the action of a thermo-setting resin and an effect of improving compatibility with respect to water (that is, fluid repellent with respect to hydrocarbon) due to the action of a hydrophilic polymer in a synergistic manner. This increases conductivity of packed spaces of a subterranean formation (that is, fractures of the subterranean formation) in which coated particles are packed.

  • Publication number: 20160215206
    Abstract: Coated particles of the present invention are adapted to be packed in fractures formed in a subterranean formation. Each of the coated particles includes: a core particle having an outer surface; and a surface layer coating at least a part of the outer surface of the core particle, wherein the surface layer contains an acid curing agent and an acid curable resin to be cured in the presence of an acid, and wherein the acid curing agent is composed of acidic compounds having acidic groups, and at least a part of the acidic groups of the acidic compounds are blocked by block compounds having reactivity with the acidic groups. This makes it possible to provide the coated particles adapted to be packed in the fractures formed in the subterranean formation and capable of maintaining high fluid permeability thereof, an injection material containing the coated particles, and a packing method for injecting such an injection material into the fractures.

  • Publication number: 20160215207
    Abstract: A resin composition of the present invention is used for forming surface layers coating at least a part of outer surfaces of particles, the particles adapted to be packed in fractures formed in a subterranean formation. The resin composition contains an acid curing agent having an acidic group, an acid curable resin to be cured in the presence of an acid, and a polyester. The acid curing agent exists in a state that the acidic group thereof is blocked by a compound having reactivity with the acidic group. This makes it possible to provide a resin composition which can reliably cure an acid curable resin at a required place, an injection material containing such a resin composition and particles, and a packing method for packing such particles in the fractures formed in the subterranean formation.
