CONDUCTIVE COATING MATERIAL

摘要

Disclosed is a conductive coating material comprising an organic binder component and a carbon fiber structure. In the coating material, the carbon fiber structure has a three-dimensional network structure formed with carbon fibers each having an outer diameter of 15 to 100 nm and has a particulate part that binds up the carbon fibers in such a manner that the carbon fibers are extended from the particulate part, wherein the particulate part is formed in the growing process of the carbon fibers. In the coating material, the carbon fiber structure is contained in an amount ranging from 0.1 to 50% by mass based on the total amount of the coating material. The coating material can show a good film strength and a high conductivity and can be colored into a desired color tone readily.
