Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to a method for enhancing tensile strength of a carbon nanotube (CNT) fiber aggregate, comprising dispersing a CNT fiber aggregate with chlorosulfonic acid (CSA), followed by thermal treatment, wherein a particular magnitude of tension is applied upon the thermal treatment, whereby the CNT fiber aggregate is increased in alignment level and tensile strength.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for improving tensile strength of an aggregate of carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers, comprising the steps of: 1) dispersing the aggregate of CNT fibers in chlorosulfonic acid (CSA); 2) treating the aggregate of CNT fibers dispersed in the CSA with a solvent for removing the CSA, thereby removing the CSA; and 3) treating by heating the aggregate of CNT fibers from which the CSA has been removed at 200 to 400° C. for 5 minutes to 2 hours; wherein tension is applied to at least one of the steps 1) to 3), and the tension/tex is applied in an amount of 2 to 50 cN/tex, and the ratio of the aggregate of CNT fibers to 100 parts by weight of the CSA in the step 1) is 0.01 to 1.0 parts by weight. 2. The method for improving tensile strength of the aggregate of CNT fibers according to claim 1 , wherein tension is applied simultaneously with each of at least one of the steps 1) to 3). 3. The method for improving tensile strength of the aggregate of CNT fibers according to claim 1 , wherein tensile is applied successively after the end of at least one of the steps 1) to 3). 4. The method for improving tensile strength of the aggregate of CNT fibers according to claim 1 , wherein the solvent for removing the CSA in the step 2) is selected from the group consisting of acetone, ethanol and water. 5. The method for improving tensile strength of the aggregate of CNT fibers according to claim 1 , wherein the heat treatment in the step 3) is performed under an atmosphere containing oxygen and an inert gas atmosphere.
