Description

本発明は、連結型結晶性無機酸化物微粒子群を含有する水および/または有機溶媒分散液、その製造方法、ならびに前記連結型結晶性無機酸化物微粒子群を含む光学基材用塗布液に関する。   The present invention relates to a water and / or organic solvent dispersion containing linked crystalline inorganic oxide fine particles, a method for producing the same, and a coating liquid for an optical substrate containing the linked crystalline inorganic oxide fine particles.

ケイ素および金属元素を含む酸化物微粒子からなる充填材としては、一般に、(1)二酸化珪素と少なくとも他の金属酸化物(酸化ジルコニウム等)とを凝集させ、その酸化物の結晶化温度未満の温度で熱処理することにより製造した、二酸化珪素と他の金属酸化物とが独立した非晶質層を形成してなる充填材(特許文献1、特許文献2)や、(2) 約100nm未満の平均粒子径を有する非重金属酸化物粒子(シリカ粒子等)と、重金属酸化物または約100nm未満の平均粒子径を有する重金属酸化物粒子(酸化ジルコニウム粒子等)とを含む実質的にアモルファス状のクラスタを含む充填材(特許文献3)などがある。   As fillers composed of oxide fine particles containing silicon and metal elements, in general, (1) a temperature lower than the crystallization temperature of the oxide by agglomerating silicon dioxide and at least another metal oxide (zirconium oxide, etc.) A filler (Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2) produced by heat treatment in which silicon dioxide and other metal oxides form an independent amorphous layer; and (2) an average of less than about 100 nm A substantially amorphous cluster comprising non-heavy metal oxide particles (such as silica particles) having a particle size and heavy metal oxides or heavy metal oxide particles (such as zirconium oxide particles) having an average particle size of less than about 100 nm. There is a filler (Patent Document 3) and the like.

しかし、これらの充填材は、シリカゾルとジルコニウム塩水溶液とを混合して、これをスプレイドライヤーなどを用いて乾燥した後、焼成することにより得られるため、屈折率などの性状が異なるシリカ微粒子と酸化ジルコニウム成分(微粒子)とが混在するものであった。結果として、得られる充填材には、屈折率などにおいてムラが生じる場合があった。さらに、これらの充填材では、粒子の細孔容積や粒子の強度を調整することができず、このために透明性を向上させることが難しくなり、更には重合性樹脂との密着性が求められる用途においてはその密着性が不十分であるため、強度や硬度が低下による摩耗に対する耐性などが不十分となることがあった。   However, these fillers are obtained by mixing silica sol and zirconium salt aqueous solution, drying it using a spray drier, etc., and firing it, so that it is oxidized with silica fine particles having different properties such as refractive index. A zirconium component (fine particles) was mixed. As a result, the resulting filler may have unevenness in refractive index and the like. Furthermore, with these fillers, the pore volume of the particles and the strength of the particles cannot be adjusted, which makes it difficult to improve transparency, and further requires adhesion to the polymerizable resin. In applications, the adhesiveness is insufficient, and thus the resistance to wear due to the decrease in strength and hardness may be insufficient.

そこで、本出願人は、シリカゾル、酸性珪酸液およびジルコニウム塩水溶液を混合して、この混合液をスプレイドライヤーなど用いて乾燥した後、焼成する充填材の製造方法(特許文献4)を開発している。これにより得られた充填材は、酸性珪酸液に由来するシリカ成分と酸性ジルコニウム成分とがよく混じり合った酸化物であるため、その性状は、シリカゾルに由来するシリカ微粒子に近づいた性状(例えば、屈折率など)のものになっている。しかし、シリカ微粒子が混在することには変わりないので、上記のような問題点が完全に解消されるものではなかった。   Therefore, the present applicant has developed a method for producing a filler (Patent Document 4) in which silica sol, acidic silicic acid solution and zirconium salt aqueous solution are mixed, the mixture is dried using a spray drier, and then fired. Yes. Since the filler thus obtained is an oxide in which the silica component derived from the acidic silicic acid solution and the acidic zirconium component are well mixed, the property is close to the silica fine particles derived from the silica sol (for example, Refractive index). However, since the silica fine particles are mixed, the above-mentioned problems have not been completely solved.

さらに、本発明者らは、従来の充填材に付随する上記のような問題を解決するため、ジルコニウムシリケート化合物からなる結晶性の無機酸化物微粒子を含む充填材を開発している(特許文献5)。また、本発明者らは、シリカ系微粒子の表面をジルコニウム、ケイ素および酸素からなる複合酸化物で被覆してなる鎖状非晶質シリカ系微粒子群およびその製造方法を開発している(特許文献6)。   Furthermore, the present inventors have developed a filler containing crystalline inorganic oxide fine particles made of a zirconium silicate compound in order to solve the above-mentioned problems associated with conventional fillers (Patent Document 5). ). In addition, the present inventors have developed a chain amorphous silica-based fine particle group in which the surface of silica-based fine particles is coated with a complex oxide composed of zirconium, silicon and oxygen, and a method for producing the same (Patent Document). 6).

特許文献5に記載された充填材は、強度や硬度および摩耗に対する耐久性等において優れた特性を有しているが、その使用用途によっては、有機珪素化合物、有機チタニウム化合物、有機ジルコニウム化合物等の有機金属化合物によって前記無機酸化物微粒子の表面を処理(または改質)することが必要となる。しかし、前記無機酸化物微粒子は、結晶性の表面性状を備えているため、その表面を前記有機金属化合物でむらなく処理することは必ずしも容易ではなかった。   The filler described in Patent Document 5 has excellent properties such as strength, hardness, and durability against wear, but depending on the intended use, an organic silicon compound, an organic titanium compound, an organic zirconium compound, etc. It is necessary to treat (or modify) the surface of the inorganic oxide fine particles with an organometallic compound. However, since the inorganic oxide fine particles have a crystalline surface property, it has not always been easy to uniformly treat the surface with the organometallic compound.

Are required to improve various characteristics.

Inorganic oxide fine particles useful for the production of coating solutions for optical substrates suitable for forming coated films (hard coating layer films and cured films such as primer layer films) excellent in (high refractive index) and dispersions thereof The object is to provide (water and / or organic solvent dispersion).

さらに本発明は、これらの特性において優れた塗膜(ハードコート層膜およびプライマー層膜などの硬化膜)を形成するのに適した光学基材用塗布液、ならびにこれらの特性において優れた塗布膜(ハードコート層膜およびプライマー層膜などの硬化膜)および塗膜付基材(硬化膜付基材)を提供することを目的としている。   Furthermore, the present invention provides a coating solution for an optical substrate suitable for forming a coating film (hard film such as a hard coat layer film and a primer layer film) excellent in these characteristics, and a coating film excellent in these characteristics. It aims at providing (hardened film, such as a hard-coat layer film and a primer layer film), and a base material with a coating film (base material with a cured film).

本発明者らは、鋭意研究した結果、無機酸化物微粒子として、特定の連結型結晶性無機酸化物微粒子群を用いることにより上記課題を解決できることを見い出し、本発明を完成させた。   As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have found that the above problems can be solved by using a specific group of linked crystalline inorganic oxide fine particles as inorganic oxide fine particles, and have completed the present invention.

The value of the average particle diameter is an average value of the length in the major axis direction of the linked crystalline inorganic oxide fine particle group measured based on an image observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), The observation conditions by SEM are the conditions adopted in the examples described later or conditions equivalent thereto. The “major axis direction” refers to the direction of the longest axis in one fine particle group in the SEM image. When the dispersion liquid according to the present invention is used as, for example, a coating liquid for an optical substrate (a coating liquid for forming a hard coat layer film, a coating liquid for forming a primer layer, which will be described later), the average particle diameter is excessively larger than the above range. If it is small, the desired mechanical strength (abrasion resistance, abrasion resistance) cannot be obtained, and if the average particle diameter is excessively larger than the above range, a poor appearance haze of the coating film occurs.

On the other hand, since the ratio of the linked crystalline inorganic oxide fine particle group to the binder component must be reduced, it is difficult to obtain desired mechanical strength (abrasion resistance, abrasion resistance) in the coating film.

If the crystallite diameter is excessively smaller than 5 nm, the refractive index of the linked crystalline inorganic oxide fine particle group decreases due to a decrease in crystallinity, and if the crystallite diameter is excessively larger than 100 nm, Transparency decreases.

また、このときの前記結晶性無機酸化物微粒子(1)と水との界面におけるゼータ電位(ただし、前記水分散液中の前記微粒子(1)の濃度が0.15重量%であれば、該水分散液におけるゼータ電位であり、該濃度が0.15重量%でない場合には、水の量を増減させて該濃度が0.15重量%になるように調製された水分散液におけるゼータ電位である。)は、好ましくは−30〜−70mV、さらに好ましくは−40〜−70mVである。−30mVよりも過度に小さいと、結晶性無機酸化物微粒子が三次元的に凝集しやすい傾向にあり、−70mVよりも過度に大きいと結晶性無機酸化物微粒子の斥力が強くなりやすい傾向にある。   Further, the zeta potential at the interface between the crystalline inorganic oxide fine particles (1) and water at this time (provided that the concentration of the fine particles (1) in the aqueous dispersion is 0.15 wt%, Zeta potential in an aqueous dispersion, and when the concentration is not 0.15% by weight, the zeta potential in an aqueous dispersion prepared by increasing or decreasing the amount of water to be 0.15% by weight Is preferably −30 to −70 mV, more preferably −40 to −70 mV. If it is excessively smaller than −30 mV, the crystalline inorganic oxide fine particles tend to aggregate three-dimensionally. If it is excessively larger than −70 mV, the repulsive force of the crystalline inorganic oxide fine particles tends to be strong. .

「粒子が疑似的に連結している」とは、静電的引力によって粒子同士が連結した状態であり、粒子同士が共有結合により連結した状態ではない。また、粒子が3次元的に連結した状態、いわゆる凝集状態ではなく、1次元的または2次元的に連結した状態である。   “The particles are quasi-coupled” is a state in which the particles are coupled by electrostatic attraction, and is not a state in which the particles are coupled by a covalent bond. Further, the particles are not three-dimensionally connected, that is, a so-called aggregated state, but one-dimensionally or two-dimensionally connected.

結晶性微粒子は、非晶質微粒子と比較して、表面OH基が少ないため、連結状構造をとらせる場合には、微粒子表面に表面処理剤により親水性基を付与することも考えられるが、結晶性微粒子の凝集を生じたりする可能性が高くなる恐れがあった。一方、本発明においては、前記結晶性無機酸化物微粒子(1)の水分散液のpHを調節することにより前記微粒子(1)を疑似的に連結するため、このような凝集を生じることがない。   Since the crystalline fine particles have fewer surface OH groups than the amorphous fine particles, it is considered that a hydrophilic group is imparted to the surface of the fine particles by a surface treatment agent when taking a connected structure. There is a possibility that the possibility of causing aggregation of the crystalline fine particles is increased. On the other hand, in the present invention, since the fine particles (1) are pseudo-connected by adjusting the pH of the aqueous dispersion of the crystalline inorganic oxide fine particles (1), such aggregation does not occur. .

工程(1)では、好ましくは、前記水分散液のpHを2〜6に、および/または前記結晶性無機酸化物微粒子(1)と水との界面におけるゼータ電位を−30〜−70mVに調整し、前記水分散液を20〜40℃の温度条件下に0.5〜5時間(さらに好ましくは1〜2時間)放置する。こうすることによって、水分散液中の固形成分を熟成、すなわち、前記微粒子(1)同士の疑似的な連結をより強固にし、工程(2)で前記水分散液のpHを高めても疑似的な連結を維持することができる。この放置の際には、前記水分散液を撹拌することが好ましい。   In the step (1), preferably, the pH of the aqueous dispersion is adjusted to 2 to 6 and / or the zeta potential at the interface between the crystalline inorganic oxide fine particles (1) and water is adjusted to −30 to −70 mV. The aqueous dispersion is then allowed to stand for 0.5 to 5 hours (more preferably 1 to 2 hours) under a temperature condition of 20 to 40 ° C. By doing this, the solid component in the aqueous dispersion is aged, that is, the pseudo-connection between the fine particles (1) is further strengthened, and the pH of the aqueous dispersion is increased in the step (2). Connection can be maintained. In this case, the aqueous dispersion is preferably stirred.

工程(2):
工程(2)では、前記工程(1)で得られた水分散液に、ジルコニウム、アルミニウムおよびアンチモンからなる群から選ばれる少なくとも1種の金属元素M1の化合物を含むアルカリ性水溶液および珪酸を含む酸性水溶液を添加する。
Step (2):
In the step (2), the aqueous dispersion obtained in the step (1) contains an alkaline aqueous solution containing a compound of at least one metal element M 1 selected from the group consisting of zirconium, aluminum and antimony, and an acid containing silicic acid. Add aqueous solution.

工程(2)では、まず、前記工程(1)で得られた水分散液のpHを7〜11に調整する工程(以下「工程(2a)」ともいう。)を実施する。このpH調整は、たとえば前記工程(1)で得られた水分散液にアルカリ金属の水酸化物(例:水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化カリウム)の水溶液を添加することにより行うことができる。   In the step (2), first, a step of adjusting the pH of the aqueous dispersion obtained in the step (1) to 7 to 11 (hereinafter also referred to as “step (2a)”) is performed. This pH adjustment can be performed, for example, by adding an aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydroxide (eg, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide) to the aqueous dispersion obtained in the step (1).

次いで、工程(2a)によりpHを7〜11に調整した水分散液を、70〜95℃に加熱したのち、この水分散液に特定の金属化合物のアルカリ性水溶液および珪酸を含む酸性水溶液を添加する。   Next, the aqueous dispersion whose pH is adjusted to 7 to 11 in the step (2a) is heated to 70 to 95 ° C., and then an aqueous alkaline solution of a specific metal compound and an acidic aqueous solution containing silicic acid are added to the aqueous dispersion. .

前記の特定の金属化合物のアルカリ性水溶液とは、ジルコニウム、アルミニウムおよびアンチモンからなる群から選ばれる少なくとも1種の金属元素の化合物を含むアルカリ水溶液である。   The alkaline aqueous solution of the specific metal compound is an alkaline aqueous solution containing a compound of at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of zirconium, aluminum, and antimony.

その具体例としては、特開2008−115060号公報の[0022]〜[0029]に詳細が記載された、酸化ジルコニウム水和物を含む水溶液に、アルカリ金属の水酸化物および過酸化水素を添加して攪拌することにより、該酸化ジルコニウム水和物を解膠して溶解させた水溶液などが挙げられる。   As specific examples, an alkali metal hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide are added to an aqueous solution containing zirconium oxide hydrate described in detail in [0022] to [0029] of JP-A-2008-115060. Then, an aqueous solution in which the zirconium oxide hydrate is peptized and dissolved by stirring is exemplified.

前記アルカリ性水溶液は、前記金属元素をその酸化物換算基準で好ましくは0.3〜20重量%含有する。   The alkaline aqueous solution preferably contains 0.3 to 20% by weight of the metal element on the oxide conversion standard.

前記の珪酸を含む酸性水溶液(以下「珪酸液」ともいう。)としては、アルカリ金属珪酸塩、有機塩基の珪酸塩等の珪酸塩水溶液を陽イオン交換樹脂で処理して脱アルカリしたものが挙げられる。また、これらの珪酸塩としては、珪酸ナトリウム(水ガラス)、珪酸カリウム等のアルカリ金属珪酸塩、第4級アンモニウムシリケート等の有機塩基の珪酸塩などが挙げられる。前記珪酸液としては、水ガラス(珪酸ナトリウム)を水で希釈した後、陽イオン交換樹脂で処理して脱アルカリしたものが好ましい。   Examples of the acidic aqueous solution containing silicic acid (hereinafter also referred to as “silicic acid solution”) include those obtained by treating a silicate aqueous solution such as an alkali metal silicate or an organic base silicate with a cation exchange resin and removing the alkali. It is done. Examples of these silicates include alkali metal silicates such as sodium silicate (water glass) and potassium silicate, and silicates of organic bases such as quaternary ammonium silicate. As the silicic acid solution, a solution obtained by diluting water glass (sodium silicate) with water and then treating it with a cation exchange resin is preferable.

この珪酸液の中でも、pHが2〜4、好ましくは2〜3の範囲にあり、珪素成分の含有量がSiO2換算基準で0.5〜5重量%、好ましくは0.8〜4.8重量%の範囲にあるものが好ましい。前記pHが2よりも過度に低いと、前記の処理に要する陽イオン交換樹脂の量と処理時間が必要以上に多くなって経済的ではなくなり、また前記pHが4よりも過度に高いと、脱アルカリの度合いが低いため、珪酸液の安定性が悪くなる。さらに、前記含有量が0.5重量%よりも過度に少ないと、経済的に前記無機酸化物微粒子を得ることが難しくなり、また前記含有量が5重量%よりも過度に高いと、珪酸液の安定性が悪くなる。Among these silicic acid solutions, the pH is in the range of 2 to 4, preferably 2 to 3, and the silicon component content is 0.5 to 5% by weight, preferably 0.8 to 4.8, based on the SiO 2 conversion standard. Those in the weight percent range are preferred. When the pH is excessively lower than 2, the amount of the cation exchange resin required for the treatment and the treatment time are unnecessarily increased, which is not economical, and when the pH is excessively higher than 4, Since the degree of alkali is low, the stability of the silicic acid solution is deteriorated. Furthermore, if the content is excessively less than 0.5% by weight, it is difficult to economically obtain the inorganic oxide fine particles, and if the content is excessively higher than 5% by weight, a silicate solution The stability becomes worse.

前記アルカリ性水溶液および前記珪酸液は、前記アルカリ性水溶液中に含まれる金属元素成分をM1xで表し、前記珪酸液に含まれる珪素をSiO2で表したとき、モル比(M1x/SiO2)が好ましくは5/95〜98/2、さらに好ましくは8/92〜96/4となる割合で、前記工程(2a)で得られた水分散液に、ゆっくりと添加される。前記モル比が5/95よりも過度に小さいと、結晶性無機酸化物微粒子群を得ることが難しくなり、また前記モル比が98/2よりも過度に大きいと、前記アルカリ性水溶液および前記珪酸液を前記工程(2a)で得られた水分散液に添加している間に、混合液が不安定となって前記結晶性無機酸化物微粒子(1)の凝集が起こってしまう。When the alkaline aqueous solution and the silicic acid solution represent the metal element component contained in the alkaline aqueous solution as M 1 O x and the silicon contained in the silicic acid solution as SiO 2 , the molar ratio (M 1 O x / SiO 2 ) is preferably slowly added to the aqueous dispersion obtained in the step (2a) at a ratio of 5/95 to 98/2, more preferably 8/92 to 96/4. When the molar ratio is excessively smaller than 5/95, it becomes difficult to obtain a crystalline inorganic oxide fine particle group. When the molar ratio is excessively larger than 98/2, the alkaline aqueous solution and the silicic acid liquid are used. While the solution is added to the aqueous dispersion obtained in the step (2a), the mixed solution becomes unstable and the crystalline inorganic oxide fine particles (1) are aggregated.

また、前記工程(2a)で得られた水分散液へのこれらの添加量は、前記結晶性無機酸化物微粒子(1)に含まれる金属元素M2およびケイ素の重量を、それぞれの酸化物(M2x、SiO2(以下の重量比の式では「SiO2-(2)」と表す。))の重量に換算し、前記アルカリ性水溶液に含まれる金属元素M1および前記珪酸液に含まれるケイ素の重量を、それぞれの酸化物(M1x、SiO2(以下の重量比の式では「SiO2-(1)」と表す。))の重量に換算すると、重量比{(M1x+SiO2-(1))/(M2x+SiO2-(2))}は、好ましくは7/100〜150/100、さらに好ましくは10/100〜120/100となる量である。前記モル比が7/100よりも過度に小さいと、結晶性無機酸化物微粒子群を得ることが難しくなり、また前記モル比が150/100よりも過度に大きいと、前記アルカリ性水溶液および前記珪酸液を前記工程(2a)で得られた水分散液に添加している間に、混合液が不安定となって前記結晶性無機酸化物微粒子(1)の凝集が起こってしまう。In addition, these addition amounts to the aqueous dispersion obtained in the step (2a) are based on the weight of the metal element M 2 and silicon contained in the crystalline inorganic oxide fine particles (1), and the respective oxides ( Converted to the weight of M 2 O x and SiO 2 (represented as “SiO 2- (2)” in the following weight ratio formula)), it is contained in the metal element M 1 contained in the alkaline aqueous solution and the silicic acid solution. When the weight of silicon to be converted into the weight of each oxide (M 1 O x , SiO 2 (represented as “SiO 2- (1)” in the following weight ratio formula)), the weight ratio {(M 1 O x + SiO 2- (1)) / (M 2 O x + SiO 2- (2))} is preferably 7/100 to 150/100, more preferably 10/100 to 120/100. is there. When the molar ratio is excessively smaller than 7/100, it becomes difficult to obtain a crystalline inorganic oxide fine particle group. When the molar ratio is excessively larger than 150/100, the alkaline aqueous solution and the silicic acid liquid are used. While the solution is added to the aqueous dispersion obtained in the step (2a), the mixed solution becomes unstable and the crystalline inorganic oxide fine particles (1) are aggregated.

前記工程(2a)で得られた水分散液は、前記アルカリ性水溶液および前記珪酸液を添加する前に、70〜95℃、好ましくは80〜90℃の温度に加熱される。温度が前記範囲にあると、前記アルカリ性水溶液中の金属化合物(例:ジルコニウム化合物)と前記珪酸液中の珪酸との加水分解反応を進めることができる。一方、前記温度が過度に低いと、前記加水分解反応の進行が遅く、前記温度が過度に高いと、前記水分散液中の水の蒸発が進行してしまう。   The aqueous dispersion obtained in the step (2a) is heated to a temperature of 70 to 95 ° C., preferably 80 to 90 ° C. before adding the alkaline aqueous solution and the silicic acid solution. When the temperature is within the above range, the hydrolysis reaction between the metal compound (eg, zirconium compound) in the alkaline aqueous solution and the silicic acid in the silicic acid solution can proceed. On the other hand, when the temperature is excessively low, the hydrolysis reaction proceeds slowly, and when the temperature is excessively high, evaporation of water in the aqueous dispersion proceeds.

一方、前記工程(2a)で得られた水分散液に添加される前記アルカリ性水溶液および前記珪酸液は、加熱されたものであっても良く、室温のものであっても良い。   On the other hand, the alkaline aqueous solution and the silicic acid solution added to the aqueous dispersion obtained in the step (2a) may be heated or room temperature.

また、前記アルカリ性水溶液および前記珪酸液の添加は、これらの添加量や濃度によっても異なるが、好ましくは、同時に4〜24時間かけてゆっくりと行われる。   The addition of the alkaline aqueous solution and the silicic acid solution is preferably performed slowly over 4 to 24 hours at the same time, although depending on the addition amount and concentration thereof.

工程(3):
工程(3)では前記工程(2)で得られた水分散液を水熱処理する。
Step (3):
In step (3), the aqueous dispersion obtained in step (2) is hydrothermally treated.

前記水熱処理は、好ましくは耐圧・耐熱容器、さらに好ましくはステンレススチール製のオートクレーブの中で行われる。   The hydrothermal treatment is preferably carried out in a pressure-resistant and heat-resistant container, more preferably in a stainless steel autoclave.

また、前記水熱処理は、好ましくは130〜250℃、さらに好ましくは150〜200℃の温度条件下で、好ましくは10〜100時間、さらに好ましくは12〜40時間かけて行われる。前記の条件下で水熱処理を行うと、前記工程(3)で前記水分散液に添加されるアルカリ水溶液中の特定の金属化合物(例:ジルコニウム化合物)と酸性水溶液中の珪酸との加水分解反応から得られる部分加水分解物および/または加水分解物の縮合反応を充分に進め、得られる縮合物によって前記結晶性無機酸化物微粒子を被覆しかつ連結することができる。   The hydrothermal treatment is preferably performed under a temperature condition of 130 to 250 ° C, more preferably 150 to 200 ° C, preferably 10 to 100 hours, more preferably 12 to 40 hours. When hydrothermal treatment is performed under the above conditions, hydrolysis reaction between a specific metal compound (eg, zirconium compound) in the alkaline aqueous solution added to the aqueous dispersion in the step (3) and silicic acid in the acidic aqueous solution The partial hydrolyzate and / or the condensation reaction of the hydrolyzate obtained from (1) can be sufficiently advanced, and the crystalline inorganic oxide fine particles can be coated and connected with the resulting condensate.

このように工程(1)〜(3)を経ることにより、チタニウム、ジルコニウム、ニオブ、セリウムおよび亜鉛からなる群から選ばれた少なくとも1種の金属元素とケイ素とを含む結晶性無機酸化物微粒子(1)、前記微粒子(1)を被覆する、ジルコニウム、アルミニウムおよびアンチモンからなる群から選ばれた少なくとも1種の金属元素とケイ素とを含む複合酸化物からなる被覆物質(2)、および前記被覆物質(2)と同一成分である複合酸化物からなり、隣接する、前記被覆物質(2)で被覆された前記結晶性無機酸化物微粒子(1)同士を連結する結合物質(3)から構成された連結型結晶性無機酸化物微粒子群を含む水分散液が得られる。   As described above, through the steps (1) to (3), crystalline inorganic oxide fine particles containing at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of titanium, zirconium, niobium, cerium and zinc and silicon ( 1) a coating material (2) made of a composite oxide containing at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of zirconium, aluminum and antimony and silicon, which covers the fine particles (1), and the coating material (2) composed of a composite oxide that is the same component as (2), and composed of a binding substance (3) that connects adjacent crystalline inorganic oxide fine particles (1) coated with the coating substance (2). An aqueous dispersion containing linked crystalline inorganic oxide fine particle groups is obtained.

また、本発明に係る分散液中に含まれる前記連結型結晶性無機酸化物微粒子群は、概ね図1の電子顕微鏡写真に示すような形状を有している。   In addition, the linked crystalline inorganic oxide fine particle group contained in the dispersion according to the present invention has a shape as shown in the electron micrograph of FIG.

<連結型結晶性無機酸化物微粒子群を含む有機溶媒分散液の製造方法>
本発明に係る連結型結晶性無機酸化物微粒子群を含む有機溶媒分散液は、本発明に係る連結型結晶性無機酸化物微粒子群を含む水分散液に含まれる分散媒である水を有機溶媒に置換することにより製造することができる。
<Method for Producing Organic Solvent Dispersion Containing Linked Crystalline Inorganic Oxide Fine Particle Group>
The organic solvent dispersion containing the linked crystalline inorganic oxide fine particle group according to the present invention is obtained by using water as a dispersion medium contained in the aqueous dispersion containing the linked crystalline inorganic oxide fine particle group according to the present invention as an organic solvent. It can manufacture by substituting.

前記水分散液に含まれる連結型結晶性無機酸化物微粒子群は親水性の微粒子群であるため、有機溶媒分散液を製造する際には、前記微粒子群を予め疎水性にしておくことが望ましい。そのためには、表面処理剤を用いて該微粒子群の表面を従来公知の方法で処理しておくことが好ましい。   Since the linked crystalline inorganic oxide fine particle group contained in the aqueous dispersion is a hydrophilic fine particle group, it is desirable to make the fine particle group hydrophobic in advance when producing an organic solvent dispersion. . For this purpose, it is preferable to treat the surface of the fine particle group with a conventionally known method using a surface treating agent.

前記表面処理剤としては、有機ケイ素化合物やアミン系化合物などが挙げられる。   Examples of the surface treatment agent include organosilicon compounds and amine compounds.

ここで、前記有機ケイ素化合物としては、加水分解性基を有する従来公知のシランカップリング剤を用いることができ、具体例としては、
トリメチルエトキシシラン、ジメチルフェニルエトキシシラン、ジメチルビニルエトキシシラン等の一般式R3SiX(式中、Rは、アルキル基、フェニル基、ビニル基、メタクリロキシ基、メルカプト基、アミノ基またはエポキシ基を有する有機基を表し、Xは、アルコキシ基、クロロ基等の加水分解性基を表す。)で表される単官能性シラン;
ジメチルジエトキシシラン、ジフェニルジエトキシシラン等の一般式R2SiX2(式中、RおよびXは上記の通りである。)で表される二官能性シラン;
メチルトリエトキシシラン、フェニルトリエトキシシラン等の一般式RSiX3(式中、RおよびXは上記の通りである。)で表される三官能性シラン;
テトラメトキシシラン、テトラエトキシシラン等のテトラアルコキシシランなどの一般式SiX4(式中、Xは上記の通りである。)で表される四官能性シラン
などが挙げられる。
Here, as the organosilicon compound, a conventionally known silane coupling agent having a hydrolyzable group can be used. As a specific example,
General formula R 3 SiX such as trimethylethoxysilane, dimethylphenylethoxysilane, dimethylvinylethoxysilane (wherein R is an organic group having an alkyl group, phenyl group, vinyl group, methacryloxy group, mercapto group, amino group or epoxy group) A monofunctional silane represented by: X represents a hydrolyzable group such as an alkoxy group or a chloro group;
A bifunctional silane represented by a general formula R 2 SiX 2 (wherein R and X are as described above) such as dimethyldiethoxysilane and diphenyldiethoxysilane;
Trifunctional silanes represented by the general formula RSiX 3 (wherein R and X are as described above) such as methyltriethoxysilane and phenyltriethoxysilane;
Examples thereof include tetrafunctional silanes represented by a general formula SiX 4 (wherein X is as described above) such as tetraalkoxysilanes such as tetramethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilane.

また、前記アミン系化合物としては、アンモニア;エチルアミン、トリエチルアミン、イソプロピルアミン、n−プロピルアミン等のアルキルアミン、ベンジルアミン等のアラルキルアミン、ピペリジン等の脂環式アミン、モノエタノールアミン、トリエタノールアミン等のアルカノールアミン、テトラメチルアンモニウム塩、テトラメチルアンモニウムハイドロオキサイド等の第4級アンモニウム塩または第4級アンモニウムハイドロオキサイドなどが挙げられる。   Examples of the amine compound include ammonia; alkylamines such as ethylamine, triethylamine, isopropylamine and n-propylamine; aralkylamines such as benzylamine; alicyclic amines such as piperidine; monoethanolamine; And quaternary ammonium salts such as alkanolamine, tetramethylammonium salt, and tetramethylammonium hydroxide.

これらは、1種単独で用いてもよく2種以上を併用してもよい。   These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

前記連結型結晶性無機酸化物微粒子群の表面処理は、たとえば表面処理剤として前記有機ケイ素化合物を用いる場合には、メタノールなどの有機溶媒に溶解した有機ケイ素化合物またはその部分加水分解物を前記水分散ゾル中に添加したのち、約40〜60℃の温度に加熱して約1〜20時間、撹拌して、前記有機ケイ素化合物またはその部分加水分解物を加水分解させることによって行うことができる。
なお、この表面処理の操作が終了した段階では、前記有機ケイ素化合物の有する加水分解性基のすべてが、前記連結型結晶性無機酸化物微粒子群の表面に存在するOH基と反応した状態となっていることが好ましいが、その一部が未反応のまま残存した状態であってもよい。
For example, when the organosilicon compound is used as a surface treating agent, the surface treatment of the linked crystalline inorganic oxide fine particle group is performed by removing an organosilicon compound dissolved in an organic solvent such as methanol or a partially hydrolyzed product thereof. After being added to the dispersion sol, it can be carried out by heating to a temperature of about 40-60 ° C. and stirring for about 1-20 hours to hydrolyze the organosilicon compound or a partial hydrolyzate thereof.
At the stage where this surface treatment operation is completed, all of the hydrolyzable groups possessed by the organosilicon compound are in a state of reacting with OH groups present on the surface of the linked crystalline inorganic oxide fine particle group. However, it may be in a state in which a part thereof remains unreacted.

次いで、表面処理された連結型結晶性無機酸化物微粒子群を含む水分散液に含まれる水を有機溶媒に置換する。有機溶媒の詳細は前述のとおりである。   Next, the water contained in the aqueous dispersion containing the surface-treated linked crystalline inorganic oxide fine particle group is replaced with an organic solvent. The details of the organic solvent are as described above.

この置換操作では、溶媒置換装置として、従来公知の溶媒置換装置、たとえば限外濾過装置やロータリーエバポレーターなどを用いることができる。前記溶媒置換装置の操作条件は、使用する溶媒置換装置や前記有機溶媒の種類などによっても異なるが、たとえば限外濾過装置(旭化成(株)製SIP−1013)を用いて行う場合には、限界濾過膜を備えた該装置内に、前記水分散ゾル(固形分濃度1〜30重量%)と該ゾル中に含まれる水と置換すべき有機溶媒(たとえば、メタノール)を送入し、一般的な条件下(たとえば、ポンプ吐出圧10〜20MPa、溶媒置換後の水分含有量0.1〜5重量%など)で溶媒置換することが好ましい。   In this replacement operation, a conventionally known solvent replacement device such as an ultrafiltration device or a rotary evaporator can be used as the solvent replacement device. The operating conditions of the solvent displacement device vary depending on the solvent displacement device used, the type of the organic solvent, and the like. For example, when using an ultrafiltration device (SIP-1013 manufactured by Asahi Kasei Co., Ltd.) The water-dispersed sol (solid content concentration: 1 to 30% by weight) and an organic solvent (for example, methanol) to be replaced with water contained in the sol are fed into the apparatus equipped with a filtration membrane, It is preferable to perform solvent replacement under such conditions (for example, pump discharge pressure of 10 to 20 MPa, water content after solvent replacement of 0.1 to 5% by weight, etc.).

前記水分散液に含まれる連結型結晶性無機酸化物微粒子群の濃度が、所望する有機溶媒分散液の固形分濃度より遙かに低い場合には、該水分散液を限外濾過装置などを用いて濃縮して、該水分散液の固形分濃度を高めておいてから、前記の置換操作を行うことが好ましい。   When the concentration of the linked crystalline inorganic oxide fine particle group contained in the aqueous dispersion is much lower than the solid content concentration of the desired organic solvent dispersion, the aqueous dispersion is treated with an ultrafiltration device or the like. It is preferable to perform the above-described replacement operation after concentration using the solution to increase the solid concentration of the aqueous dispersion.
