  • Method for molding CNF and molded product of CNF obtained by the molding method
    Patent number: 10428460
    Abstract: A porous body is placed in a rectangular parallelepipedal casing made of a stainless steel to prepare a mold form. A CNF-containing slurry is charged into the mold form, and another porous body is placed on the CNF-containing slurry. If the CNF-containing slurry are enwrapped in a nylon mesh, leakage of the CNF-containing slurry from a gap between the mold form and the porous body or clogging of the porous bodies can be inhibited. The upper and lower porous bodies are heated while applying a load to the CNF-containing slurry for a desired period of time to effect hot pressing, thereby obtaining a desired molded product. This provides a method for molding CNFs which enables a CNF molded product having a three-dimensional configuration to be obtained at a high productivity, and the CNF molded product obtained by the method for molding CNFs.
