Description

本発明は、酸性域からアルカリ域の幅広いpH域で高い分散性と優れた導電性を有する導電性微粉末とその分散液およびこの導電性微粉末を含有する塗料組成物、この塗料組成物によって形成された透明導電膜などに関する。本発明の導電性微粉末は幅広いpH域で高い分散性を有し、導電性および透明性に優れた導電膜を形成することができ、帯電防止・帯電制御・静電防止・防塵等の各種材料として利用することができる。 The present invention relates to a conductive fine powder having high dispersibility and excellent conductivity in a wide pH range from an acidic range to an alkaline range, a dispersion thereof, a coating composition containing the conductive fine powder, and a coating composition containing the conductive fine powder. The present invention relates to the formed transparent conductive film. The conductive fine powder of the present invention has high dispersibility in a wide pH range, can form a conductive film excellent in conductivity and transparency, and various types such as antistatic, charge control, antistatic, and dustproof. It can be used as a material.

導電性粉末として酸化スズ粉末、アンチモンをドープした酸化スズ粉末(ATO粉末)などが従来から知られており、これらを塗料成分等に分散させた分散組成物によって導電膜が形成されている。しかし、ATO粉末はアンチモンの毒性が問題であるため、アンチモンに代えてゲルマニウム、リン、リチウム、亜鉛などを所定量ドープすることによって低抵抗で無害な白色導電性粉末が知られている(特許文献1)。 Conventionally known are tin oxide powder, antimony-doped tin oxide powder (ATO powder), and the like as conductive powder, and a conductive film is formed by a dispersion composition in which these are dispersed in a paint component or the like. However, since ATO powder has a problem of toxicity of antimony, a low-resistance and harmless white conductive powder is known by doping a predetermined amount of germanium, phosphorus, lithium, zinc or the like instead of antimony (patent document) 1).

一方、酸化スズはpH3〜6付近に等電点があり、ATOはpH2.5〜5付近に等電点をもつので、これらの酸化スズ系粉末はpHが中性域付近の溶媒中では粉末どうしの表面電荷による反発が小さくなるので粉末の分散性が悪く、凝集しやすいために均一な導電性を有する導電膜を形成するのが難しく、また膜に曇りを生じ、透明性が低下すると云う問題がある。 On the other hand, tin oxide has an isoelectric point around pH 3-6, and ATO has an isoelectric point around pH 2.5-5. Therefore, these tin oxide powders are powders in a solvent near neutral pH. Since the repulsion due to the surface charge is small, the dispersibility of the powder is poor and it is easy to agglomerate, so it is difficult to form a conductive film having uniform conductivity, and the film is clouded and the transparency is lowered. There's a problem.

そこで、これら酸化スズ系粉末の分散性を改善する手段が検討されてきた。例えば、これらの酸化スズ系粉末をシリカによって表面処理することが知られている。シリカの等電点はpH2〜3付近であり、酸化スズ系粉末をシリカで表面処理することによって、pHが中性付近域での分散性を高めることができる。ただし、この方法ではpH4以下の低pH領域では分散性が低下すると云う問題がある。 Therefore, means for improving the dispersibility of these tin oxide powders have been studied. For example, it is known that these tin oxide-based powders are surface-treated with silica. The isoelectric point of silica is around pH 2 to 3, and the dispersibility in the vicinity of neutral pH can be enhanced by surface-treating the tin oxide powder with silica. However, this method has a problem that the dispersibility is lowered in a low pH range of pH 4 or lower.

一方、酸化スズやATOにリンをドープさせることによって分散性を高めることも知られている。例えば、特許第2818058号公報(特許文献2)には、酸化スズを導電性フィラーとして分散させた帯電防止膜を設けた光ディスクにおいて、リンを3〜7wt%ドープした酸化スズ粉末を用いることが記載されている。また、特許第3365821号公報(特許文献3)には、酸化スズを主成分とし、リンをP/Sn原子比で2.7×10-2〜1.4×10-1の割合で含有させた導電性微粉末が記載されている。 On the other hand, it is also known to increase dispersibility by doping tin oxide or ATO with phosphorus. For example, Japanese Patent No. 2818058 (Patent Document 2) describes using tin oxide powder doped with 3 to 7 wt% phosphorus in an optical disk provided with an antistatic film in which tin oxide is dispersed as a conductive filler. Has been. Japanese Patent No. 3365821 (Patent Document 3) contains tin oxide as a main component and phosphorus in a P / Sn atomic ratio of 2.7 × 10 −2 to 1.4 × 10 −1. Conductive fine powders are described.

しかし、これらの酸化スズ粉末の分散性は従来のものよりは改善されるものの、幅広いpH域で高い分散性を有するものではなく、分散性に限界がある。また、後者の酸化スズ粉末は800℃以上の高温で焼成することによって粉体抵抗を下げているが、一方で粉体の焼結が進行するために粗粒子化して比表面積が小さくなり、一次粒子にまで分散できないために分散液中で沈降し、透明性が大きく低下すると云う問題がある。 However, although the dispersibility of these tin oxide powders is improved as compared with the conventional one, it does not have a high dispersibility in a wide pH range, and the dispersibility is limited. In addition, the latter tin oxide powder lowers the powder resistance by firing at a high temperature of 800 ° C. or higher, but on the other hand, since the sintering of the powder progresses, it becomes coarser and the specific surface area becomes smaller. There is a problem that since it cannot be dispersed into particles, it settles in the dispersion and the transparency is greatly reduced.

さらに、透明導電膜については、膜の導電性および透明性と共に色味が問題になる場合がある。例えば、ATO粉末は青味が帯びているので、ATO粉末を用いた透明導電膜は光学フィルターなどには適さない。

Furthermore, with respect to the transparent conductive film, the color may be a problem along with the conductivity and transparency of the film. For example, since ATO powder is bluish, a transparent conductive film using ATO powder is not suitable for an optical filter or the like.

本発明の導電性微粉末はpH2〜12の範囲で等電点を持たないので、これらのpH域を有する分散媒中でも凝集し難く、分散性のよい分散体を得ることができる。従って、本発明の導電性微粉末分散体によれば、優れた帯電防止効果を有し、また透明性が高く、低ヘーズであり、可視光透過率が非常に高く、透過画像の色相が自然であり、平滑性、耐擦性にも優れた透明導電膜を形成することができる。また、本本発明はそのような透明導電膜を提供することができる。さらに、本発明の導電性微粉末はアンチモンを含有する必要がないので、アンチモンの毒性の問題が無く、安全性が高い。 Since the conductive fine powder of the present invention does not have an isoelectric point in the pH range of 2 to 12, it is difficult to aggregate even in a dispersion medium having these pH ranges, and a dispersion with good dispersibility can be obtained. Therefore, according to the conductive fine powder dispersion of the present invention, it has excellent antistatic effect, high transparency, low haze, very high visible light transmittance, and natural color of transmitted images. In addition, a transparent conductive film excellent in smoothness and abrasion resistance can be formed. Moreover, this invention can provide such a transparent conductive film. Furthermore, since the conductive fine powder of the present invention does not need to contain antimony, there is no problem of antimony toxicity and high safety.

本発明の導電性微粉末は、pH2〜12の範囲で等電点を持たないことを特徴とする高分散性の導電性微粉末であり、好ましくは、リンを0.1〜5wt%および窒素を10ppm〜5000ppm含有した酸化スズ微粉末からなり、pH2〜12の範囲で等電点を持たない高分散性の導電性微粉末である。 The conductive fine powder of the present invention is a highly dispersible conductive fine powder characterized by having no isoelectric point in the pH range of 2 to 12, preferably 0.1 to 5 wt% of phosphorus and nitrogen Is a highly dispersible conductive fine powder having an isoelectric point in a pH range of 2 to 12.

酸化スズにリンおよび窒素を上記所定量含有させることによって、pH2〜12の範囲で等電点を持たない、分散性に優れた導電性微粉末を得ることができる。なお、酸化スズにリンをドープすることによって、酸化スズ微粉末の中性域での分散性を高めたものが従来知られているが、先に述べたように、これらの酸化スズ粉末の分散性は従来の酸化スズよりは改善されるものの、幅広いpH域で高い分散性を有するものではなく、分散性に限界がある。本発明の導電性微粉末は、酸化スズにリンと共に窒素を所定量含有させることによって、幅広いpH域で高い分散性を有することができるようにした。 By containing the predetermined amounts of phosphorus and nitrogen in tin oxide, it is possible to obtain a conductive fine powder excellent in dispersibility and having no isoelectric point in the pH range of 2-12. In addition, what has been conventionally known that tin oxide is doped with phosphorus to increase the dispersibility in the neutral region of tin oxide fine powder. As described above, the dispersion of these tin oxide powders is known. Although the property is improved as compared with conventional tin oxide, it does not have a high dispersibility in a wide pH range, and the dispersibility is limited. The conductive fine powder of the present invention can have high dispersibility in a wide pH range by containing a predetermined amount of nitrogen together with phosphorus in tin oxide.

酸化スズ中のリン含有量は0.1〜5wt%が好ましい。酸化スズ中の窒素含有量は10ppm〜5000ppmが好ましい。リンの含有量が0.1wt%よりも少なく、また窒素含有量が10ppmより少ないと、等電点を上記pH域から外す効果が不十分であり、凝集し易くなるので導電性が低下し、また導電性の経時的な安定性も低下する傾向がある。一方、リン含有量が5wt%より多いと、粉末のL値が低くなり、透明性が低下する傾向がある。また、窒素含有量が5000ppmより多いと、透明性が低下し、好ましい色調の範囲から外れるようになる。 The phosphorus content in tin oxide is preferably 0.1 to 5 wt%. The nitrogen content in the tin oxide is preferably 10 ppm to 5000 ppm. If the phosphorus content is less than 0.1 wt% and the nitrogen content is less than 10 ppm, the effect of removing the isoelectric point from the above pH range is insufficient, and the electroconductivity is lowered because it tends to aggregate. Also, the stability of the conductivity over time tends to decrease. On the other hand, if the phosphorus content is more than 5 wt%, the L value of the powder tends to be low, and the transparency tends to decrease. On the other hand, when the nitrogen content is more than 5000 ppm, the transparency is lowered and the color tone is not within the preferable range.

本発明のリン窒素含有酸化スズからなる導電性微粉末は、L値が60以上、a値が−3〜+3、b値が2〜8の色調を有することができる。L値が60より小さいと透明性が低くなり、a値が上記範囲を外れると緑色や赤味が濃くなり、またb値が8より高いと茶色が入り、また2より小さいと青色が入るようになるので好ましくない。 The conductive fine powder comprising the phosphorous nitrogen-containing tin oxide of the present invention can have a color tone having an L value of 60 or more, an a value of −3 to +3, and a b value of 2 to 8. If the L value is less than 60, the transparency will be low. If the a value is outside the above range, green and reddish will become dark. If the b value is higher than 8, brown will appear. If it is less than 2, blue will appear. This is not preferable.

本発明のリン窒素含有酸化スズからなる導電性微粉末は、粉体体積抵抗率700〜9×106Ω・cmの導電性を有することができる。湿式法によって酸化スズ微粉末を製造する際に、焼成温度を上げると一般に酸化スズ粉末の粉体体積抵抗率は低下するが、700Ω・cmより低くなるまで焼成温度を高くすると、粉末の焼結が進行するため粉末の分散性が低下し、透明性が低下する。一方、粉体体積抵抗率が9×106Ω・cmよりも高いと導電性が低過ぎるので好ましくない。本発明のリン窒素含有酸化スズ微粉末は高い透明性と共に優れた導電性を有することができる。 The conductive fine powder comprising the phosphorus nitrogen-containing tin oxide of the present invention can have a powder volume resistivity of 700 to 9 × 10 6 Ω · cm. When producing tin oxide fine powder by a wet method, increasing the firing temperature generally reduces the powder volume resistivity of the tin oxide powder, but increasing the firing temperature to lower than 700 Ω · cm will result in powder sintering. Progresses, the dispersibility of the powder decreases and the transparency decreases. On the other hand, if the powder volume resistivity is higher than 9 × 10 6 Ω · cm, the conductivity is too low, which is not preferable. The phosphorus nitrogen-containing tin oxide fine powder of the present invention can have excellent conductivity as well as high transparency.

本発明のリン窒素含有酸化スズからなる導電性微粉末は、100m2/g以上のBET比表面積を有することができる。本発明の酸化スズ微粉末は、湿式法による酸化スズの製造方法において、酸化スズにリンと窒素をドーピングすることによって、酸化スズ粉末を焼成する際に焼成温度を下げることができ、焼結によって粉末が粗粒子化するのを避けることができるので、BET比表面積100m2/g以上の微粉末を得ることができる。本発明のリン窒素含有酸化スズからなる導電性微粉末はBET比表面積が大きく、微細であるので、透明性と導電性に優れた透明導電膜を形成することができる。 The conductive fine powder comprising the phosphorous nitrogen-containing tin oxide of the present invention can have a BET specific surface area of 100 m 2 / g or more. The tin oxide fine powder of the present invention is a method for producing tin oxide by a wet method. By doping phosphorus oxide with phosphorus and nitrogen, the firing temperature can be lowered when firing the tin oxide powder. Since the powder can be prevented from becoming coarse particles, a fine powder having a BET specific surface area of 100 m 2 / g or more can be obtained. Since the conductive fine powder comprising the phosphorus nitrogen-containing tin oxide of the present invention has a large BET specific surface area and is fine, a transparent conductive film excellent in transparency and conductivity can be formed.

Moreover, sodium silicate etc. can also be used as needed.

具体的には、本発明の分散液は、分散液中の導電性粉末の累積重量95%粒子径〔D95〕が250nm以下であり、該分散液の色味がL値30〜55、a値−2〜+2、b値−4〜+4である導電性微粉末分散液を得ることができる。この分散液を用いたコーティング組成物によれば透明性が高く、かつ青色等の色味のない導電膜を形成することができる。なお、分散液中の導電性粉末(酸化スズ微粉末)の累積重量95%粒子径〔D95〕は、動的光散乱方式粒度分布計やレーザー回折粒度分布計等を用いて測定する事ができ、250nmよりも大きいと粉末が沈降し、透明性が低下する傾向がある。また、必要に応じて分散剤を添加することができる。 Specifically, in the dispersion of the present invention, the cumulative weight 95% particle diameter [D95] of the conductive powder in the dispersion is 250 nm or less, and the color of the dispersion has an L value of 30 to 55 and an a value. A conductive fine powder dispersion having −2 to +2 and a b value of −4 to +4 can be obtained. According to the coating composition using this dispersion, it is possible to form a conductive film having high transparency and having no color such as blue. The cumulative weight 95% particle size [D95] of the conductive powder (tin oxide fine powder) in the dispersion can be measured using a dynamic light scattering particle size distribution meter, a laser diffraction particle size distribution meter, or the like. If larger than 250 nm, the powder tends to settle and the transparency tends to decrease. Moreover, a dispersing agent can be added as needed.

また、本発明の透明導電膜は膜硬度が高く、硬度H以上の透明導電膜を形成することができる。

Furthermore, it can manufacture by baking at 400-750 degreeC. If the firing temperature is lower than 400 ° C., it is difficult to dope the nitrogen content. Further, if the firing temperature is higher than 750 ° C., the sintering of the particles tends to progress and coarse particles are not preferable.

〔Example〕
Phosphoric acid and sodium silicate were added to the tin chloride solution, and a caustic soda solution was added to form a precipitate. Thereafter, the precipitate was sufficiently dried in a nitrogen atmosphere and then fired at a temperature shown in Table 1 in a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain phosphorus and nitrogen-containing tin oxide. This tin oxide was pulverized to obtain tin oxide fine powder shown in Table 1. Table 1 shows the phosphorus content, nitrogen content, BET specific surface area, isoelectric point, L, a, and b values and powder volume resistivity of the tin oxide fine powder.
A dispersion in which 300 g of this tin oxide fine powder is dispersed in 516 g of toluene and 516 g of xylene is obtained, and further mixed with 258 g of a commercially available acrylic resin (trade name: Acrydic A-168, resin content 50 wt%), and the beads are dispersed with a dyno mill. Thus, a coating composition was obtained. The properties of this dispersion and coating composition are shown in Table 2. This coating composition was applied to the surface of a PET film (thickness 100 mm, haze 1.8%, light transmittance 90%) using a commercially available automatic applicator (ROD No. 3) to form a thin film having a thickness of 5 μm. . After the thin film was irradiated with UV, surface resistance, light transmittance, and haze were measured. The results are shown in Table 2.

〔比較例〕
窒素を含有せず、かつリンの含有量を表1に示すように調整した以外は実施例と同様にして酸化スズ微粉末を得た。この酸化スズ微粉末の性状を表1に示し、酸化スズ微粉末を含有する薄膜の性状を表2に示した。
[Comparative Example]
A tin oxide fine powder was obtained in the same manner as in the example except that nitrogen was not contained and the phosphorus content was adjusted as shown in Table 1. The properties of the tin oxide fine powder are shown in Table 1, and the properties of the thin film containing the tin oxide fine powder are shown in Table 2.

本発明の酸化スズ微粉末(試料No.A-1〜No.A-6)は何れもリンと共に窒素を所定量含有するので、等電点が測定されず、従って、溶媒中での分散性が良いので表面抵抗が比較試料(No.B-1〜No.B-3)よりも大幅に低い導電膜を形成することができる。また、この酸化スズ微粉末はL値が60以上であって明るく、a値およびb値も目的の範囲内であって、白色度が良好であり、この酸化スズ微粉末を含む導電膜の光透過率は85%以上であり、ヘーズも3.0以下であって透明度が高い。 Since the tin oxide fine powders of the present invention (samples No. A-1 to No. A-6) all contain a predetermined amount of nitrogen together with phosphorus, the isoelectric point is not measured, and therefore the dispersibility in a solvent. Therefore, it is possible to form a conductive film whose surface resistance is significantly lower than that of the comparative samples (No. B-1 to No. B-3). Further, the tin oxide fine powder has a bright L value of 60 or more, the a value and the b value are also within the target range, and the whiteness is good. The light of the conductive film containing the tin oxide fine powder The transmittance is 85% or more, the haze is 3.0 or less, and the transparency is high.

一方、リンおよび窒素を含まない比較試料No.B-1はpH3.4に等電点を有し、従って、分散液中で凝集しやいので、薄膜の表面抵抗が本発明の酸化スズ微粉末よりも大きい。また、リンのみを10wt%含有する比較試料No.B-2はリン含有量が過剰であるためにL値が低く、粉体体積抵抗率および薄膜の表面抵抗が何れも大幅に高い。さらに、リンを2wt%含有する比較試料No.B-3は焼成温度が高いので圧粉体での粉体体積抵抗率は低いが、窒素を含有しないので溶媒中での分散性が悪く、薄膜の表面抵抗が高い。また、粉体および分散液のL値が大幅に小さく、明度および透明度が低い。 On the other hand, Comparative Sample No. B-1, which does not contain phosphorus and nitrogen, has an isoelectric point at pH 3.4 and therefore easily aggregates in the dispersion. Larger than powder. Further, Comparative Sample No. B-2 containing only 10 wt% of phosphorus has a low L value due to the excessive phosphorus content, and both the powder volume resistivity and the surface resistance of the thin film are significantly high. Further, Comparative Sample No. B-3 containing 2 wt% phosphorus has a low powder volume resistivity in the green compact due to its high firing temperature, but does not contain nitrogen, so its dispersibility in the solvent is poor, and the thin film High surface resistance. Further, the L value of the powder and the dispersion is significantly small, and the brightness and transparency are low.
