Definitions
- the present invention relates to titanium oxide particles.
- Titanium oxide is widely used as a photocatalyst, UV cut material, and a material for coating solutions for forming coating films on optical substrates.
- Anatase, rutile, and brookite are well known crystal structures of titanium oxide, and different crystal structures have different properties.
- anatase-type titanium oxide particles have high photocatalytic activity and are used as materials for deodorization, deodorization, and antifouling.
- rutile-type titanium oxide particles have a high refractive index and lower photocatalytic activity than anatase-type particles, so they are used as a refractive index adjuster for coating films. For example, they are sometimes used in hard coat layers of substrates.
- the hard coat layer contains components such as organic silicon compounds and resins, and if the photocatalytic activity of the particles is too strong, these components will be decomposed, causing cracks in the hard coat layer and reducing the adhesion between the substrate and the hard coat layer.
- This phenomenon becomes a problem when a substrate on which a layer containing titanium oxide is formed is used in the presence of light containing ultraviolet light such as sunlight (weather resistance). This is a problem even when using normal rutile-type titanium oxide, which is generally considered to have lower photocatalytic activity than other crystal types, and various solutions have been proposed.
- Patent Document 1 discloses that in order to provide a coating solution for forming a hard coat film having a high refractive index, transparency, weather resistance, and excellent adhesion to a substrate, the coating solution for forming the film contains composite oxide particles consisting of a titanium oxide component and an iron oxide component with a Fe2O3 / TiO2 (weight ratio) in the range of 0.0005 or more and less than 0.005.
- Patent Document 2 also discloses a coating solution for forming a hard coat film having a high refractive index, excellent transparency, excellent hot water resistance, weather resistance, scratch resistance, abrasion resistance, and dyeability, no photochromism, and excellent adhesion to a substrate, and composite oxide particles for providing a substrate with a hard coat film having such excellent properties formed on the surface thereof.
- the present invention discloses composite oxide particles which are composed of iron oxide, titanium oxide and silica, and in which the weight ratio Fe2O3 / TiO2 is in the range of 0.0005 or more and less than 0.005 when the iron oxide is converted to Fe2O3 , the titanium oxide is converted to TiO2 and the silica is converted to SiO2 , and the weight ratio SiO2 /( Fe2O3 + TiO2 ) is in the range of 0.001 or more and 1.0 or less.
- the objective of the present invention is to provide titanium oxide particles with low photocatalytic activity.
- titanium oxide particles having all of the following characteristics (1) to (3).
- (1) It has a rutile type crystal structure.
- (2) The unit cell of the crystal structure satisfies at least one of the following (a) and (b): (a) a-axis is 0.4594 nm or more. (b) c-axis is 0.2959 nm or more. (3) It has an energy gap of 2.90 eV or less.
- the present invention provides titanium oxide particles with low photocatalytic activity.
- FIG. 1 is a graph showing ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra of titanium oxides obtained in Example 5 and Comparative Example 3.
- the crystal radius refers to the "Crystal Radius” described in Acta Crystallographica. (1976). A32, Pages 751-767.
- the value of the crystal radius differs depending on the valence and coordination number of the element. Therefore, in this specification, the crystal radius is determined by using the valence of the element contained in the raw material and the coordination number is set to 6.
- the expression “the unit lattice is distorted in the positive direction” means that at least one of the a-axis and c-axis values of rutile-type titanium oxide described in 01-078-1509: ICDD (PDF-2/Release 2012 RDB) is increased, based on the values.

- the titanium oxide particles of the present invention have a rutile crystal structure. Titanium oxide with a rutile crystal structure has lower photocatalytic activity than titanium oxide with other crystal structures (e.g., anatase type). In addition, titanium oxide particles with a rutile crystal structure have a higher refractive index than titanium oxide particles with other crystal structures, and therefore can be suitably used, for example, as an optical material.

以下、本発明の酸化チタン粒子の製造方法の一例について、詳述する。
この工程は、Ti、M1、およびM2を含む水溶液を中和して、Ti、M1、およびM2を含む共沈ゲルを調製する工程である。Ti、M1、およびM2を含む共沈ゲルを調製することで、最終的に得られる酸化チタン粒子の結晶構造へのM1およびM2の固溶がより促進される。また、前記水溶液および前記共沈ゲルは、M1、M2以外の元素を含んでいてもよい。
この工程は、前述の工程で得られた共沈ゲルを水に再分散し(解膠し)、水熱処理前駆体を調製する工程である。またこの工程では、共沈ゲルを解膠した後、前記M1、前記M2および他の元素を添加することもできる。
この工程は、前述の工程で得られた水熱処理前駆体を水熱処理して、M1およびM2が固溶したルチル型酸化チタン粒子を調製する工程である。
本発明の酸化チタン粒子を含む分散液は、本発明の酸化チタン粒子を溶媒に分散する方法で調製することができる。酸化チタン粒子を溶媒に分散する方法は、従来公知の方法を用いることができる。例えば、本発明の酸化チタン粒子が粉末状である場合は、水、または有機溶媒等に添加した後、ビーズミル処理、または超音波処理等の分散処理を行うことで、分散液を調製することができる。このとき、分散液中の固形分の濃度を50質量%以下とすると、溶媒中に本発明の酸化チタン粒子をより分散させやすくなる。また、本発明の酸化チタン粒子のゼータ電位を測定し、分散に好適な範囲となるように、pHを調整することもできる。
本発明の酸化チタン粒子を含む塗膜形成用塗布液は、本発明の酸化チタン粒子を用いて従来公知の方法で調製することができる。例えば、塗膜を形成するために必要な成分を前述の分散液に加えて調製することができる。この塗膜形成用塗布液は、熱硬化性塗膜形成用塗布液であってもよく、光硬化性塗膜形成用塗布液であってもよい。

本発明の酸化チタン粒子を含む塗膜付基材は、基材と、前述の塗膜形成用塗布液とを用いて、従来公知の方法で調製することができる。
基材に形成する塗膜の膜厚は、塗膜付基材の用途によって異なるが、塗膜強度を得ようとする場合は、0.5μm以上であることが好ましく、1μm以上であることがより好ましく、2μm以上であることが特に好ましい。膜厚の上限は、特に限定されるものではないが、100μm以下であってもよく、50μm以下であってもよく、30μm以下であってもよい。塗膜強度を高める必要がない場合は、膜厚が0.5μm未満であってもよく、0.3μm未満であってもよく、0.1μm未満であってもよい。
