Abstract:
There has been a problem that wrinkles easily occur on a carbonaceous film produced by the use of a continuous production method and on a graphite film obtained by heat-treating the carbonaceous film. In the present invention, heating treatment is carried out on a polymeric film while applying pressure to the polymeric film in the film thickness direction with the use of a continuous carbonization apparatus. This makes it possible to obtain a carbonaceous film and a graphite film in which wrinkling is reduced.
Abstract:
A graphite film which is low in graphite dust generation can be produced by properly selecting acid dianhydride and diamine which constitute a polyimide film, which polyimide film is a raw material of the graphite film. Specifically, the graphite film which is low in graphite dust generation can be obtained if (1) the acid dianhydride is PMDA and the diamine has a molar ratio of ODA/PDA in a range of 100:0 to 80:20, or (2) the acid dianhydride has a molar ratio of PMDA/BPDA in a range of 80:20 to 50:50, and the diamine has a molar ratio of ODA/PDA in a range of 30:70 to 90:10.
Abstract:
In a method for producing a carbonaceous film in which a polymer film is wrapped around a core and is subjected to a heat treatment, material film surfaces during the carbonization step are prevented from fusion, whereby a long carbonaceous having a large area film is obtained.Fusion can be prevented by subjecting a polymer film to a heat treatment under a reduced pressure, and under a reduced pressure while allowing an inert gas to flow. The range of the pressure reduction is preferably −0.08 MPa to −0.01 kPa. It is preferred to carry out carbonization with the pressure reduced in the range of from −0.08 MPa to −0.01 kPa while allowing an inert gas to flow. In addition, the polymer film wrapped around the core is placed in an outer casing, and provided that a value derived by dividing (internal diameter of the outer casing−diameter of the core) by 2 is designated as “a” (mm), and a thickness of wrapping of the polymer film is designated as “b” (mm), a value (b/a) derived by dividing the “b” by the “a” is set to fall within the range of from 0.2 to 0.9.

Abstract:
A thin plate-shaped graphite product is produced by applying a current to an electrochemical reaction system including a graphite-containing anode, a cathode optionally containing graphite, and an electrolyte solution containing tetrafluoroboric acid or hexafluorophosphoric acid as an electrolyte. Flaky graphite is produced by subjecting the thin plate-shaped graphite product to delamination.
