2. Description of the Related Art Sizing-treated and chopped carbon fibers are used as a reinforcing material for thermoplastic resins, but it is difficult to say that the performance of the composite material is sufficient. In the resin mixing process,
Carbon fibers are fluffed and cannot be mixed sufficiently. Furthermore, the mixing of carbon fibers causes a problem that the flow of the resin is deteriorated and the moldability and the dispersibility of the fibers in the matrix are poor. As a solution to this, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-7225
JP-A No. 64-2613 proposes a method of coating a carbon fiber with a polyamide resin, and JP-A No. 64-2613 proposes a method of coating with a completely thermoplastic type polyurethane.

In particular, in the present invention, a carbon fiber reinforced composite material (CFRTP) containing a thermoplastic resin as a main matrix is highly effective. The main purpose is to strengthen the carbon fiber. Therefore, it is desirable that the carbon fiber as a reinforcing material has higher strength. Therefore, a polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber that is versatile and easily obtains high strength characteristics is preferable.

The amount of the silicone rubber fine particles attached to the carbon fibers is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 5% by weight in terms of solid content. If the adhesion amount is less than 0.1% by weight, the effect is not exhibited, and if it exceeds 5% by weight and too much, the fibers stick to each other and the dispersion in the matrix becomes insufficient, and the strength characteristics are improved in the case of CFRTP.

As the anionic surfactant, there are usually used sulfonates represented by sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, sulfate ester salts represented by sodium lauryl sulfate ester, other carboxylates and phosphate ester salts. Used. The type and concentration of the surfactant are controlled so that the ζ potential of the silicone rubber fine particles becomes -30 mV or less when the dispersion liquid is formed. ζ

The adhesion amount of the silicone rubber fine particles is adjusted by appropriately devising the concentration of the treating agent and the adhesion method, and after the adhesion, it is usually dried to remove the water content. As a result, it is considered that the silicone rubber component covers the surface of the carbon fiber, and further the surfactant is scattered in the form of islands on the silicone rubber coating layer.

It is presumed that this improving effect is related to the electrostatic property of the surfactant scattered on the surface of the treated carbon fiber and the adhesive property of the silicone rubber. That is,
Due to the surface treatment of the anionic silicone rubber fine particles, the carbon fibers repel each other to increase the dispersibility, and the silicone rubber particles, which are the main component of the treatment agent, increased the adhesiveness to the matrix, resulting in the strength characteristics of CFRTP. Is considered to have improved.

CFR using the carbon fiber according to the present invention
The high strength of TP means that the surface condition of the carbon fiber is largely related to the kind of the treating agent, that is, when the carbon fiber has an O 1S / C 1S peak of less than 0.10. The treatment with water-soluble silicone rubber fine particles is effective in improving the strength characteristics. At this time, the improvement effect is small in the treatment with the cationic or nonionic dispersion liquid.
