Abstract

The present invention provides a magnetic composite capable of enhancing the effect of shielding against electromagnetic noise and the like (magnetic shielding effect) while inhibiting a possible eddy current, and a method for producing the magnetic composite, and a shielding structure comprising the magnetic composite. A shielding member 10 as a magnetic composite contains a resin 12 which is an insulator and serves as a matrix material and into which fine powders of an amorphous metal magnetic substance 10 a containing Fe, Si, and B are mixed. In the shielding member 10 , a plurality of the amorphous metal magnetic substances 10 a are contained in the resin 12 at a volume fraction less than a percolation threshold. The type of the amorphous metal magnetic substance 10 a is not particularly limited provided that the amorphous metal contains Fe, Si, and B.

Claims (25)

1. A magnetic composite produced by:

melting metal containing Fe, Si, and B;

ejecting the melted metal through a nozzle in a pulse form;

ejecting a refrigerant toward the ejected metal through the nozzle in a pulse from;

cooling the ejected metal to form an amorphous metal magnetic substance; and

mixing a plurality of the amorphous metal magnetic substances into an insulator at a volume fraction equal to or less than the percolation threshold.

2. A method for producing a magnetic composite, the method comprising:

melting metal containing Fe, Si, and B;

ejecting the melted metal through a nozzle in a pulse form;

ejecting a refrigerant toward the ejected metal through the nozzle in a pulse from;

cooling the ejected metal to form an amorphous metal magnetic substance; and

mixing a plurality of the amorphous metal magnetic substances into an insulator at a volume fraction equal to or less than the percolation threshold.

3. The magnetic composite according to claim 2 , wherein the insulator is translucent.

4. The method for producing the magnetic composite according to claim 2 , wherein the amorphous metal magnetic substance is formed to have an aspect ratio of 2 to 5.

5. The magnetic composite of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic composite is formed into a fiber, yarn, or fabric.

6. The method for producing the magnetic composite according to claim 2 , wherein the insulator includes an uncured resin or polymerizable monomer.

7. The method for producing the magnetic composite according to claim 2 , wherein the insulator includes a rubber or inorganic material.

8. The method for producing the magnetic composite according to claim 2 , wherein the insulator is a liquid, and further comprising:

coating the insulator onto an electronic device in liquid form; and

allowing the insulator to dry or solidify.

9. The method for producing the magnetic composite according to claim 2 , further comprising:

forming the magnetic composite into a fiber, yarn, or fabric.

10. The method for producing the magnetic composite according to claim 2 , wherein the refrigerant and the melted metal are ejected at the same time.

11. The method for producing the magnetic composite according to claim 2 , wherein cooling the ejected metal to form the amorphous metal magnetic substance comprises:

allowing the refrigerant, the melted metal, or both to flow and diffuse spirally.
