Abstract

A composite material comprising a plastic layer; and a steel sheet laminated on one side or both sides of the plastic layer, and having a structure in which plastic particles are introduced onto the surface of the side where the plastic layer is laminated with the steel sheet and a method for producing the same are provided, wherein the composite material is capable of being used as automotive parts or structures, and the like.

Claims (13)

1. A composite material comprising:

a plastic layer having a first surface, wherein polar functional groups are introduced onto the first surface of the plastic layer, and the polar functional group comprises: one or more of a hydroxy group (—OH), a carboxy group (—COOH), a carbonyl group (—CO—), an amino group (—NH 2 ), a hydroperoxy group (—OOH), a peroxy group (—OO—), a thiol group (—SH), and an isocyanate group (—NCO); and

a first steel sheet laminated on the first surface of the plastic layer, wherein the first steel sheet includes a surface in contact with the first surface of the plastic layer, and plastic particles are dispersed in the surface of the first steel sheet, and

wherein the plastic particles are formed of a homogeneous resin,

wherein the first steel sheet includes a plated layer formed on the surface of the first steel sheet,

the plastic particles are dispersed in a surface of the plated layer, and

the surface of the plated layer has an arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) in a range of 0.01 μm to 5 μm.

2. The composite material according to claim 1 , wherein the plastic layer is formed of an engineering plastic.

3. The composite material according to claim 1 , wherein no separate adhesive layer is interposed between the plastic layer and the first steel sheet.

4. The composite material according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness ratio of the plastic layer and the first steel sheet is in a range of 3:1 to 1:5.

5. The composite material according to claim 1 , wherein the plastic particles have an average particle diameter in a range of 0.2 μm to 50 μm.

6. The composite material according to claim 1 , further comprising: a second steel sheet laminated on a second surface of the plastic layer, the second surface of the plastic layer being opposite to the first surface of the plastic layer.

7. The composite material according to claim 1 , wherein the composite material is an automotive material.
