NANOCARBON/ALUMINUM COMPOSITE MATERIAL, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, AND PLATING LIQUID FOR USE IN SAID PROCESS

摘要

[PROBLEMS] To provide a nanocarbon/aluminum composite material having both high strength and electrical conductivity, which is suitable for use in lead wires, heat exchangers, and automobile components, and a process for producing the same. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A plating liquid for nanocarbon/aluminum composite material formation, comprising an aluminum halide, nanocarbon, a 1,3-dialkylimidazolium halide and the like, wherein the molar ratio of the aluminum halide to the 1,3-dialkylimidazolium halide and the like is 20:80 to 80:20. The 1,3-dialkylimidazolium halide and the like contain an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms. In the production process of a nanocarbon/aluminum composite material, the surface of a base material is plated in a dry oxygen-free atmosphere using the plating liquid for nanocarbon/aluminum composite material formation, for example, by direct current under electrolysis conditions of bath temperature 0 to 300ºC and current density 0.01 to 50 A/dm². There is also provided a nanocarbon/aluminum composite material produced by the production process.
