Abstract

The present invention relates to a surface-treated steel plate and to a production method for same, and more specifically relates to a surface-treated steel plate having outstanding corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity. In order to achieve this aim, in the present invention a macromolecular resin composition comprising graphene, which has highly outstanding physical properties including electrical conductivity, is coated onto the surface of a steel foundation plate, thereby making it possible to provide a surface-treated steel plate able to supremely well ensure not only corrosion resistance but also the intrinsic characteristics of graphene due to the macromolecular resin composition.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A surface-treated steel sheet comprising:
a base steel sheet; and
a polymer resin layer containing graphene on the top of the base steel sheet,
wherein the graphene has hydroxyl groups (OH) at its edges,
wherein the hydroxyl groups (OH) of the graphene are arranged within the polymer resin layer toward the base steel sheet or toward a surface of the polymer resin layer, by applying an electric field or magnetic field to the coated base steel sheet during drying.

2. The surface-treated steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the graphene is present in the form of a concentrated layer or a sheet within the polymer resin layer.

3. The surface-treated steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the polymer resin layer containing the graphene has an average thickness of 0.5 to 5.0 μm.

4. The surface-treated steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the polymer resin layer containing the graphene is formed of a composition including a polymer resin composition and 0.01 to 20 wt % of the graphene, and the polymer resin composition includes:
10 to 90 parts by weight of at least one resin selected from the group consisting of a urethane resin, an acryl resin, an epoxy resin, an ester resin, and an olefin resin as a binder resin on the basis of a total weight of the resin composition; and
water as the remainder.

5. A method for manufacturing a surface-treated steel sheet, comprising:
preparing a base steel sheet;
coating the top of the base steel sheet with a polymer resin composition containing graphene; and
drying and curing the coated base steel sheet to form a polymer resin layer containing the graphene,
wherein the graphene has hydroxyl groups (OH) at its edges,
wherein the hydroxyl groups of the graphene are arranged within the polymer resin layer towards the base steel sheet or toward a surface of polymer resin layer by applying an electric field or a magnetic field to the bottom of the coated base steel sheet during drying.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the polymer resin composition containing the graphene comprises:
the polymer resin composition including 10 to 90 parts by weight of at least one resin selected from the group consisting of a urethane resin, an acryl resin, an epoxy resin, an ester resin, and an olefin resin as a binder resin on the basis of a total weight of the resin composition, and water as the remainder; and
0.01 to 20 wt % of the graphene.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein a voltage of −200V to 200V, except for 0 Volts, is applied to the bottom of the coated base steel sheet during drying.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the graphene is present within the polymer resin layer toward a surface of the polymer resin layer when cured after a voltage of −200V to lower than 0 is applied to the bottom of the coated base steel sheet during drying.

9. The method of claim 5 , wherein the graphene is present within the polymer resin layer toward the base steel sheet when cured after a voltage of higher than 0 to +200V is applied to the bottom of the coated base steel sheet during drying.
