Description

BEST MODE

(1) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Example complying with the present invention and Comparative Examples not complying with the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited by the following examples.

Example 1

(2) A silica sol gel solution was prepared, which comprises 1 g of nanomagnetic composites having a structure in which the surfaces of FeOFe.sub.2O.sub.3 particles (Multi-Magnetic Domains, average particle size about 100 nm: measured by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (using DLS)), which are a soft magnetic material (Soft Type), as magnetic particles, were surface-treated with SiO.sub.2 (particle size about 10 nm) as ceramic particles in a thickness of 10 nm, 10 g of alumina particles having a particle size of about 1 to 3 m, 2 g of zirconium particles, 5 g of silica particles, 4.5 g of sodium silicate, 14 g of water and 0.2 g of a thermal acid generator (TAG2678).

(3) Immediately after laminating the composition on a support through a nozzle in a feeding device, a magnetic field was applied thereto at a current value of 300 A for 5 minutes in an external alternate-current magnetic field generator. The magnetic field was applied by introducing the composition into a sample vial in a solenoid coil (3 turns, OD 50 mm, ID 35 mm) and adjusting the current value and time of the magnetic field generator (Easyheat from Ambrell). The composition was thermally cured with vibrational heat generated through application of the magnetic field to form a pattern or a three-dimensional shape.

Example 2

(4) A composition was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that 6 g of tetraethyl orthosilicate was added thereto instead of sodium silicate, and allowed to form a pattern or a three-dimensional shape.

Example 3

(5) A composition was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that 5 g of sodium meta-silicate was added thereto instead of sodium silicate, and allowed to form a pattern or a three-dimensional shape.

Example 4

(6) A composition was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that an ammonium salt derivative as a thermal base generator was added thereto instead of the thermal acid generator, and allowed to form a pattern or a three-dimensional shape.

Example 5

(7) A composition was prepared in the same manner as in Example 2, except that an ammonium salt derivative as a thermal base generator was added thereto instead of the thermal acid generator, and allowed to form a pattern or a three-dimensional shape.

Comparative Example 1

(8) A composition was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that FeOFe.sub.2O.sub.3 particles (Single-Magnetic Domain, average particle size about 100 nm), which are a ferromagnetic material (Hard Type), as magnetic particles, were used, and allowed to form a pattern or a three-dimensional shape.

Experimental Example 1Measurement of Cure Degree (Visual, Touch)

(9) After curing the composition, it was confirmed whether the cured product had flowed when it was turned over after cooling, and then the curing was confirmed by checking the degree of pressing of the cured product with a metal spatula. In the above, it can be confirmed that when there is flowability and the cured product is pressed, the composition has been not cured.
