METHOD FOR COATING CARBON NANOTUBE ONTO NATURAL FIBER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new material having more high functionality than a carbon fiber by imparting conductivity, thermal conductivity to a natural fiber while keeping original strong points of the natural fiber.

SOLUTION: The invention relates to the method for coating carbon nanotube onto the natural fiber comprising a process preparing a treating liquid slurry by adding 5-20 times by mass of surfactant to the carbon nanotube then adding distilled water, and a process soaking/impregnating the natural fiber to the treating liquid slurry to coat the carbon nanotube on the surface of the natural fiber. As the surfactant any of a nonionic, an anionic and a cationic surfactant is usable but practically, the nonionic or anionic surfactant is preferred.
