TECHNICAL BACKGROUND AND PROBLEMS OF THE INVENTION A phenomenon in which a substance changes its color when exposed to light such as ultraviolet rays and returns to its original state when the light irradiation is stopped, that is, a reversible change occurs in the absorption spectrum upon light irradiation. The phenomenon is called photochromism, and it is a dimming element in cosmetics, paints, etc. that uses this phenomenon.
Various applications are expected as functional materials such as sensor elements, display elements, and light shielding elements, and various organic or inorganic compounds are used as photochromic materials. In general, organic photochromic compounds represented by, for example, spiropyran-based and spirooxazine-based compounds have high absorbance of a colored body,
In addition, since the difference in absorption wavelength between the colored body and the decolored body is large and the absorption wavelength of the colored body can be relatively easily changed by a substituent, a bright color rendering property is expected, and it has recently attracted attention as a functional material. Is being done. However, the organic photochromic compound is apt to be deteriorated by light, and as a result, deterioration of color rendering performance due to repeated use and deterioration of continuous stability of color rendering performance are unavoidable, and improvement thereof is desired.

However, the present inventors have long been doped with an element forming a photochromic center,
For example, we focused on the fact that perovskite-type oxides such as strontium titanate and photochromic inorganic compounds such as titanium dioxide have excellent photodegradability, and in particular, developed a photochromic titanium dioxide with excellent whiteness and safety. We are proceeding with various studies. In order to form a photochromic center in titanium dioxide, it is generally known to dope transition metal ions such as iron, molybdenum and nickel, but when trying to enhance the color rendering effect, the amount of added metal ions such as iron ions should be controlled. It is necessary to increase the amount, and as a result, the coloring due to the added metal ions becomes large, and further, during the heat treatment process of doping the added metal ions, coarse particles are likely to be formed due to the sintering of the particles of titanium dioxide particles and between the particles. , The dispersibility in various photochromic composition systems using the same is markedly impaired, and the desired color rendering effect cannot be obtained. The present inventors, as a result of further various studies in order to solve the above problems, after the iron oxide fine powder of a specific particle shape is mixed with titanium dioxide in a dry system, the photochromic property is developed, and Surprisingly, by heating below the rutile transition temperature, iron ions are likely to be uniformly doped. Therefore, a photochromic center with a relatively small amount of iron source and a heat treatment at a relatively low temperature is sufficient. The present invention has been completed with the knowledge that a photochromic titanium dioxide fine powder having good dispersibility can be formed without substantially causing coarsening due to sintering or particle growth.

This has an average particle size of 0.05-
It is about 1 μm, preferably about 0.1 to 0.5 μm, and it is desirable that the particle size distribution is uniform. Further, the granular iron oxide means iron oxide generally referred to as a granular shape having an axial ratio (longest particle diameter / shortest particle diameter) of 1.5 or less, and an average particle diameter (average longest particle diameter) of 0. 05-
A material having a thickness of 0.5 μm is desirable for uniformly doping titanium dioxide. As these iron oxides, those produced by various methods can be used.

2 O 3 fine powder, (4) ferric salt solution is neutralized with alkali generally at a temperature of 100 ° C. or higher, and aged to produce α-Fe 2 O 3 in a granular form. However, a fine powder after drying can be used. As described above, the granular iron oxide is made into a fine powder having a uniform particle size distribution, and therefore, before being mixed with the titanium dioxide fine powder, for example, a compaction type crusher such as a crusher, an edge runner mill, or a ring roller mill. If a small amount of iron ions are efficiently doped on the surface of the titanium dioxide particles, the photochromic titanium dioxide having high brightness and high color rendering can be more advantageously obtained.

The mixing ratio of the granular iron oxide fine powder is 0.1 to 5%, preferably 0.5 to 2%, based on the weight of the anatase type titanium dioxide fine powder. If the mixing ratio of the iron oxide is less than the above range, the desired photochromic properties are not provided, and if it is more than the above range, coloring due to iron ions becomes large, or the particles become coarse due to sintering between particles or between particles. Particle formation is likely to occur.

In the present invention, the heat treatment temperature of the mixture is required to be in a temperature range below the temperature at which the photochromic property is exhibited and the anatase type crystal is substantially transformed into the rutile type crystal. 1 from the transition temperature
It is desirable to set the temperature to 0 to 120 ° C., more preferably 30 to 100 ° C. lower. The heat treatment temperature varies depending on the type and amount of the granular iron oxide fine powder, the type of heat treatment apparatus, the size, etc., and cannot be generally stated, but is usually 67.
It is 0 to 780 ° C, preferably about 690 to 760 ° C. If the heating temperature is lower than the above range, the desired photochromic property cannot be imparted without the progress of iron ion doping, while if the heating temperature is too high, intra-particle and inter-particle sintering will be induced and dispersed. As a result, the desired photochromic properties cannot be obtained while the properties are significantly impaired. The desired photochromic property means that the color rendering index represented by ΔL is 4.5 or more.
