Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prepare a photocatalyst sheet useful in antimicrobial treatment and treatments for eliminating fungi and preventing stains and undesirable odors, etc., by providing a minute air layer between the resin and photocatalytic fine particles which are dispersed in the calcined layer of polytetrafluoroethylene resin. SOLUTION: The photocatalyst sheet is prepared as follows. The photocatalyst layer 1 having the fine air layer between the resin and photocatalyst fine particles which are dispersed in the calcined layer of polytetrafluoroethylene resin, is first formed by evaporating the solvent in the layer to dryness which layer has been obtained by painting a dispersion containing polytetrafluoroethylene powder and photocatalyst fine particles, then calcining the layer to sinter and bind the contact part of the particles of polytetrafluoroethylene powder by heating, and cooling. Then, a dispersion comprising a filler or an inorganic pigment and polytetrafluoroethylene powder is coated on the photocatalyst layer 1, and the resulting layer is dried, calcined and cooled to form the reinforcing layer 2. Further after fixing the adhesive layer 3, which contains a perfluoro-resin powder and a colloidal silica and is highly adhesive, on the reinforcing layer 2, the sticking agent 4 is applied to the adhesive layer 3, and the exfoliation paper 5 is stuck to the layer of the sticking agent 4.

2. Description of the Related Art When photocatalytic fine particles such as titanium oxide, which is an oxide semiconductor, are irradiated with light having an energy higher than the band gap, electrons and holes are generated by excitation, and organic substances and microorganisms close to the surface are oxidized. It is decomposed and, in the case of inorganic oxides, is oxidized to the final oxide. Therefore, a photocatalyst sheet in which the photocatalyst fine particles are carried by a binder is disposed at a predetermined place, and the bacteria and odorous gas floating in the air are decomposed to disinfect, sterilize, stain, deodorize, and purify. It has been proposed to do so.

Conventionally, a solvent solution of a fluorine-based polymer such as vinyl ether-fluoroolefin copolymer or vinyl ester-fluoroolefin copolymer, a crosslinking agent such as an isocyanate-based curing agent, and photocatalyst fine particles on a support. It is known that a photocatalyst layer is formed by coating and curing by a cross-linking reaction (JP-A-7-171408). This photocatalytic layer is made of a hardly decomposable fluorine-based polymer as a binder.
Therefore, the binder can be prevented from being oxidized and deteriorated by the activated photocatalyst fine particles, and stable binding of the photocatalyst fine particles can be expected.

However, since most of the surface of the photocatalyst fine particles is covered with the binder, and the direct contact between the photocatalyst fine particles and the air is reduced accordingly, the photocatalytic fine particles are less susceptible to bacteria and the like in the air. A reduction in oxidative decomposition efficiency is inevitable.

As a method of forming a fluoropolymer film, a fluoropolymer dispersion is applied, the solvent in the applied film is evaporated by heating, and the fluoropolymer particles are fired by heating and firing. It is known to tie. In this film manufacturing method, heating at a considerably higher temperature (370 to 390 ° C.) is required for baking compared to the above-mentioned cross-linking and curing method. However, according to the study results of the present inventor, the photocatalyst obtained by applying a dispersion of this polytetrafluoroethylene powder and photocatalyst fine particles by using a fluorine-based polymer, particularly polytetrafluoroethylene, and firing the photocatalyst was obtained. It was found that the layer exhibited remarkably superior decomposition performance as compared with the photocatalytic layer obtained by the above-mentioned crosslinking curing method. To elucidate the cause of this high resolution performance, the structure of the photocatalyst layer was observed with a microscope, and an air layer was present between the photocatalyst fine particles and the resin, and this air layer was connected to form an open cell.

[0006] The formation of the air layer is such that the polytetrafluoroethylene polymer is harder to weld than a fluorine-based polymer such as a vinyl ether-fluoroolefin copolymer or a vinyl ester-fluoroolefin copolymer. Since the thermal contraction rate of the polytetrafluoroethylene polymer is significantly larger than that of the photocatalyst fine particles, the interface between the photocatalyst fine particles and the resin is separated during cooling after firing, and the space of the separated portion is reduced due to the cooling shrinkage of the resin. It is presumed to be the result of the expansion. The validity of this presumption is that when a perfluoroalkylvinyl ether-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer is used in place of the polytetrafluoroethylene polymer in the formation of the photocatalyst layer by firing, a remarkable decrease in decomposition performance is observed. From that,

It is preferable to use an anatase type titanium oxide fine particle exhibiting excellent photocatalytic activity as the photocatalytic fine particles. Further, in order to enhance the activity of the photocatalyst fine particles, an alkali metal ion can be supported. The particle size of the polytetrafluoroethylene powder is 0.2 to
0.3 μm, and the particle size of the photocatalyst fine particles is 0.007 to 0.1.
5 μm, and sintering sinters between the polytetrafluoroethylene particles. Since the flow of the polytetrafluoroethylene particles at the sintering temperature does not substantially occur, a gap is formed between the sintering points of the polytetrafluoroethylene particles. This gap is easily formed, and this gap is connected to the air layer, so that the photocatalyst layer structure is made to be open cells. Thus, the thickness of the air layer between the polytetrafluoroethylene resin and the photocatalyst fine particles is a fine gap of several nanometers to several microns, and the passage of liquid such as water does not occur. Can get in and out. If the content of the photocatalyst fine particles in the dispersion is too large, the bonding strength between the photocatalyst fine particles by polytetrafluoroethylene becomes insufficient, so that the mixing ratio of polytetrafluoroethylene powder / photocatalyst fine particles is:
It is preferably 3/7 to 8/2.

It is manufactured by firing, cooling, and peeling from the casting carrier, and the surface smoothness of the photocatalyst layer is regulated by the smoothness of the casting carrier. However, if the surface roughness of the photocatalyst layer is too large, it will hinder antifouling, and the surface area will be large, so that the number of photocatalyst fine particles protruding on the surface is also unfavorable in preventing the photocatalytic fine particles from falling off.

The casting carrier preferably has a surface roughness Rz of 4 μm or less. In addition to the surface roughness, the casting carrier is required to have heat resistance and releasability that do not cause deformation or the like even by heating during the firing, and a metal foil or a metal sheet is appropriate.

In the photocatalyst sheet according to the present invention, an air layer exists between the photocatalyst fine particles of the dispersion and the resin binder, and this air layer communicates with the outside air due to the open cell structure of the photocatalyst layer. Therefore, the air almost completely contacts and passes through the outer surface of the photocatalyst fine particles, and bacteria and harmful gas in the air can be efficiently oxidized and decomposed by the activated photocatalytic fine particles. In addition, since the resin carrying the photocatalyst fine particles is a hardly decomposable polytetrafluoroethylene, the resin binder can be stably maintained for a long time without collapse, and the photocatalyst fine particles are entrapped in the bubbles of the resin layer. Therefore, the photocatalyst fine particles can be stably supported over a long period of time. Therefore, bacteria and harmful gases in the air can be efficiently oxidatively decomposed over a long period of time.

In particular, in the photocatalyst sheet of the above embodiment, even if the reinforcing layer is made into open cells as in the case of the photocatalyst layer, hydroxyl radicals and active oxygen generated by oxidative decomposition by activated photocatalyst fine particles, Since the dense tissue is easily adhered to the adhesive layer due to the adhesive layer, deterioration of the adhesive layer due to activation of the photocatalyst fine particles can be prevented, and long-term stable adhesive use can be guaranteed. Of course, even when stored in a laminated state, the release paper can prevent direct contact between the photocatalyst layer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. Therefore, even if the photocatalyst fine particles are activated by the incidence of ultraviolet rays during storage, the adhesive layer is stably maintained. Can hold.

[Comparative Example] In comparison with the example, a perfluoroalkylvinyl ether-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer was used instead of polytetrafluoroethylene in the water dispersion for forming the photocatalyst layer. It was the same as the example. A sterilization test was performed in the same manner as in the example, and the number of bacteria one hour after light irradiation was measured. As a result, it was about 10 4 . In addition, an acetaldehyde decomposition test was performed in the same manner as in the example, and the concentration of acetaldehyde after irradiation with ultraviolet rays for 60 minutes was approximately 90 ppm.

As described above, the comparative example is inferior in sterilization and acetaldehyde decomposability as compared with the example because the perfluoroalkylvinylether-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer is well fused to the photocatalyst fine particles by heating. However, it is estimated that most of the surfaces of the photocatalyst fine particles are covered with the perfluoroalkylvinyl ether-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer.

According to the photocatalyst sheet of the present invention,
A fine air layer exists between the photocatalyst fine particles and the binder-resin, and the outside air comes into contact with almost the entire surface of the photocatalyst fine particles due to the connection between the air layer and the continuous bubbles of the resin layer. It is possible to improve the efficiency of oxidative decomposition of active photocatalytic fine particles against bacteria and the like. Further, since the photocatalyst fine particles are held in the resin binder and the resin itself is hardly decomposable, the photocatalyst fine particles can be stably supported. Therefore, according to the photocatalyst sheet of the present invention, sterilization, antifouling, deodorization, and purification can be performed with excellent efficiency for a long time.
