Abstract

A method for producing ferrite hollow particles having a hollow structure formed by mutual sintering of ferrite powder, including: a) a step of mixing a resin powder and a ferrite powder of a particle size smaller than that of the resin powder under compaction thereby forming ferrite powder-coated particles in which ferrite powder coats, in a partially embedded state, surface of the resin powder; and b) a step of heat treating the obtained ferrite powder-coated particles thereby removing the resin powder and mutually sintering the ferrite powder.

Claims (11)

1. A method for producing ferrite hollow particles having a hollow structure formed by mutual sintering of ferrite powder, comprising the steps of:

mixing a resin powder and a ferrite powder of a particle size smaller than that of the resin powder under a pressurized contact thereby forming ferrite powder-coated particles in which ferrite powder coats, in a partially embedded state, the surface of the resin powder; and

applying a heat treating to the obtained ferrite powder-coated particles thereby ablating the resin powder and mutually sintering the ferrite powder.

2. A method for producing ferrite hollow particles according to claim 1 , wherein the ferrite powder, having powders of at least two types having different particle sizes, mix with the resin powder under a pressurized contact.

3. A method for producing ferrite hollow particles as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ferrite powder-coated particles are charged in a furnace heated at a temperature at which the resin powder is gasified, and the ferrite powder-coated particles are maintained at a sintering temperature for the ferrite powder after ablation of the resin powder.

4. A method for producing ferrite hollow particles according to claim 1 , wherein the resin powder is made from acrylic resin.

5. A method for producing ferrite hollow particles according to claim 1 , further comprising:

mixing the ferrite powder-coated particles and a ceramic powder of a particle size smaller than that of the resin powder under a pressurized contact thereby forming ceramic powder-coated particles.

6. A method for producing ferrite hollow particles according to claim 5 , wherein the ceramic powder, having powders of at least two types having different particle sizes, mix with the ferrite powder-coated particles under a pressurized contact.

7. A method for producing ferrite hollow particles according to claim 5 , the ceramic powder, having powders of at least two types having different particle in type, mix with the ferrite powder-coated particles under a pressurized contact.

8. A method for producing ferrite hollow particles according to claim 5 , wherein the ceramic powder is alumina powder.
