Description
DESCRIPTION
ORGANIC-INORGANIC HYBRID COMPOSITION AND ITS ARTICLE AND
OPTICAL COMPONENT
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to an organic-inorganic hybrid composition which is excellent in high refraction properties, transparency, lightweight properties and processability and to an optical component configured to contain the same, inclusive of lens base materials (for example, spectacle lenses, optical instrument lenses, optoelectronic lenses, laser lenses, pickup lenses, vehicle-mounted camera lenses, mobile phone camera lenses, digital camera lenses, OHP lens, lenses for configuring a micro lens array) .
BACKGROUND ART
In comparison with glasses, resins have such advantages that they are excellent in lightweight properties, impact resistance and moldability and that they are economical, and in recent optical components such as lenses, the substitution of optical glass with a resin is advancing.
As a molding method of a resin, methods such as an injection molding method for casting a molten resin into a die to achieve molding, an extrusion molding method and a compression molding method are widely employed. But, the fluidity of the resin is often of a problem. In particular, in recent years, the development, etc. of a material in which an inorganic nano particle is finely dispersed in a resin for the purpose of realizing a high function such as high refractive index and high heat resistance is performed (see, for example, JP-A-βl-291650 and JP-A-2003-73564) . However, by dispersing the inorganic nano particle in the resin, there may be the case where the fluidity is deteriorated, resulting in a serious
problem from the viewpoint of imparting moldability.
As a measure for enhancing the fluidity of a resin, a method for using a plasticizer has hitherto been known, and phthalic ester based plasticizers, phosphoric ester based plasticizers, esters of a polyhydric carboxylic acid (for example, adipic acid, citric acid) and so on are widely used as the plasticizer. Though DOP (di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate) is exemplified as the most general plasticizer (see JP-A-61-73754 ) , its refractive index to D-line is low as 1.486. Therefore, its application to a high-refractive index material having a refractive index of 1. β or more was difficult because it lowers the refractive index of the material.
On the other hand, the development of a substrate for information recording . medium with excellent transfer properties such as optical discs (see JP-A-2000-195099) and a substrate for reaction chip such as a DNA chip (see JP-A-2004-354131) using a biphenyl compound or a terphenyl compound as an additive of an aromatic polycarbonate resin is carried out. But, there is no description at all regarding its addition to an organic-inorganic composite material or its use for a lens base material.

The "bleeding" as referred to herein refers to a phenomenon that the added compound bleeds out on the surface of a molding.
[Inorganic fine particle] The organic-inorganic hybrid composition of the invention contains an inorganic fine particle together with the compound represented by the formula (1) . The inorganic fine particle to be used in the invention is not particularly limited, and fine particles described in, for example, JP-A-2002-241612, JP-A-2005-298717 and JP-A-2006-70069 can be used.
Specifically, oxide fine particles (for example, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, niobium oxide, zirconium oxide, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, tellurium oxide, yttrium oxide, indium oxide, tin oxide) , composite oxide fine particles (for example, lithium niobate, potassium niobate, lithium tantalate) , sulfide fine oxides (for example, zinc sulfide, cadmium sulfide) , other semi-conductor crystal fine particles (for example, zinc selenide, cadmium selenide, zinc telluride, cadmium telluride) , LiAlSiO4, PbTiO3, Sc2W3Oi2, ZrW2O8, AlPO4, Nb2Os, LiNO3 and the like can be used.
In particular, of these, metal oxide fine particles are preferable. Above all, any one member selected from the group consisting of zirconium oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide and titanium oxide is preferable; and any one member selected from
the group consisting of zirconium oxide, zinc oxide and titanium oxide is more preferable. Furthermore, it is especially preferable to use a zirconium oxide fine particle having good transparency in a visible region and low photocatalytic activity.
The inorganic fine particle to be used in the invention may be a hybrid material composed of plural components from the viewpoints of refractive index, transparency, stability and the like. Also, for a variety of purposes of reducing photocatalytic activity, reducing a percentage of water absorption and the like, the inorganic fine particle may be doped with a dissimilar element, or the surface layer of the inorganic fine particle may be coated with a dissimilar metal oxide (for example, silica, alumina) or may be subjected to surface modification with a silane coupling agent, a titanate coupling agent, an aluminate coupling agent, an organic acid (for example, carboxylic acids, sulfonic acids, phosphoric acids, sulfonic acids) or the like. Furthermore, a combination of two or more types thereof can be employed depending upon the purpose.
In the inorganic fine particle to be used in the invention, its refractive index is not particularly limited. In the case where the organic-inorganic hybrid composition of the invention is used for an optical member to be required to have a high refractive index, it is preferable that the inorganic fine particle also has high refractive index properties in addition to the foregoing heat temperature dependency. In that case, the refractive index of the inorganic fine particle to be used is preferably from 1.9 to 3.0, more preferably 2.0 to 2.7, and especially preferably from 2.1 to 2.5 at 220C and at a wavelength of 589 nm. When the refractive index of the fine particle is not more than 3.0, since a difference in .refractive index from the resin is relatively small, there is a tendency that the Rayleigh scattering is easily inhibited. Also, when the
refractive index is 1.9 'or more, there is a tendency that an effect for realizing a high refractive index is easily obtained.
The refractive index of the inorganic fine particle can be, for example, estimated by a method of forming a hybrid material hybridized with the thermoplastic resin to be used in the invention into a transparent film, measuring its refractive index by an Abbe's refractometer (for example, "DM-M4", manufactured by Atago Co. , Ltd.) and calculating the refractive index of the inorganic fine particle from a refractive index of only the resin component as measured separately, a method of measuring refractive indexes of fine particle dispersions having a different concentration, thereby calculating the refractive index of the inorganic fine particle, or other method. When the number average particle size of the inorganic fine particle to be used in the invention is too small, there may be the case where the properties inherent to a substance constituting the fine particle vary, whereas when the number average particle size is too large, there may be the case where influences of the Rayleigh scattering become noticeable, thereby extremely lowering the transparency of the organic-inorganic hybrid composition. In consequence, a lower limit value of the number average particle size of the inorganic fine particle to be used in the invention is preferably 1 nm or more, more preferably 2 nm or more, and further preferably 3 nm or more; and an upper limit value thereof is preferably not more than 15 nm, more preferably not more than 10 nm, and further preferably not more than 7 nm. That is, the number average particle size of the inorganic fine particle in the invention is preferably from 1 nm to 15 nm, more preferably from
2 nm to 10 nm, and especially preferably from 3 nm to 7 nm.
Also, it is desirable that the inorganic fine particle to be used in the invention is satisfied with the foregoing average particle size and has narrow particle size distribution
as far as possible. There are a variety of manners for defining such a monodispersed particle. For example, the numerical value specified range described in JP-A-2006-160992 is also applicable to the preferred particle size distribution range of the fine particle to be used in the invention.
Here, the foregoing number average particle size can be measured by an X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyzer or a transmission electron microscope (TEM) or the like.
The manufacturing method of the inorganic fine particle to be used in the invention is not particularly limited, and any known methods can be employed.
For example, the desired oxide fine particle can be obtained by using a metal halide or a metal alkoxide as a raw material and hydrolyzing it in a reaction system containing water. Details of this method are described in, for example,
Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, Vol. 37, pages 4603 to 4608
(1998) or Langmuir, Vol. 16, No. 1, pages 241 to 246 (2000).
Also, as other methods than the method of hydrolysis in water, a method of preparing an inorganic fine particle in an organic solvent or in an organic solvent having the thermoplastic resin of the invention dissolved therein may be employed. On that occasion, a variety of surface treating agents (for example, silane coupling agents, aluminate coupling agents, titanate coupling agents, organic acids (for example, carboxylic acids, sulfonic acids, phosphonic acids) ) may be made coexistent.
Examples of the solvent to be used in these methods include acetone, 2-butanone, dichloromethane, chloroform, toluene, ethyl acetate, cyclohexanone and anisole. These solvents may be used singly or in admixture of plural kinds thereof.
Examples of the synthesis method of the inorganic fine particle include, in addition to the foregoing methods, a variety of general synthesis methods of a fine particle
described in, for example, JP-A-2006-70069, including methods for preparing an inorganic fine particle in a vacuum process such as a molecular beam epitaxy method and a CVD method.
From the viewpoints of transparency and realization of a high refractive index, the content of the inorganic fine particle in the organic-inorganic hybrid composition of the invention is preferably from 20 to 95% by mass, more preferably from 25 to 70% by mass, and especially preferably from 30 to
60% by mass. Also, from the standpoint of dispersibility, a mass ratio of the inorganic fine particle to the thermoplastic resin (dispersed polymer) in the invention is preferably from
1/0.01 to 1/100, more preferably from 1/0.05 to 1/10, and especially preferably from 1/0.05 to 1/5.

In the case where plural functional groups are present, these functional groups may be each one capable of forming a different chemical bond with the inorganic fine particle.

In the thermoplastic resin (1) to be used in the invention, its weight average molecular weight is preferably from 1,000 to 500,000, more preferably from 3,000 to 300,000, and especially preferably from 10,000 to 100,000. When the weight average molecular weight of the thermoplastic resin (1) is not more than 500,000, there is a tendency that the molding processability is enhanced; and when the weight average molecular weight of the thermoplastic resin (1) is 1, 000 or more, there is a tendency that the mechanical strength is enhanced.
Here, the foregoing weight average molecular weight is a molecular weight measured by differential refractometer detection in tetrahydrofuran as a solvent by a GPC analyzer using columns of "TSKgel GMHxL", "TSKgel G4000HxL" and "TSKgel G2000HxL" (all of which are manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) and reduced into polystyrene. In the thermoplastic resin (1) to be used in the invention, the number of the foregoing functional group to be bound with the inorganic fine particle is preferably from 0.1 to 20, more preferably from 0.5 to 10, and especially preferably from 1 to 5 in average per one polymer chain. When the number of the
functional group is not more than 20 in average per one polymer chain, there is a tendency that it is easy to prevent the matter that the thermoplastic resin (1) is coordinated with a plurality of the inorganic fine particle to cause high viscosity or gelation in a solution state from occurring. Also, when the number of the functional group is 0.1 or more in average per one polymer chain, there is a tendency that it is easy to stably disperse the inorganic fine particle.
In the thermoplastic resin (1) to be used in the invention, its glass transition temperature is preferably from 80 °C to 400 °C, and more preferably from 1300C to 380 °C. When a resin having a glass transition temperature of 80 °C or higher is used, it is easy to obtain an optical component having sufficient heat resistance. Also, when a resin having a glass transition temperature of not higher than 400 °C is used, there is a tendency that it is easy to achieve molding processing.
In the case where a difference between a refractive index of the thermoplastic resin (1) and a refractive index of the inorganic fine particle is large, since the Rayleigh scattering is easy to occur, the amount of the fine particle capable of being hybridized while keeping the transparency becomes small. When the refractive index of the thermoplastic resin (1) is about 1.48, it is possible to provide a transparent article% having a refractive index on a level of 1.60.

Though the functional group may be present in only one end of a polymer chain or may be present in both ends of a polymer chain, it is preferable that the functional group is present only one end of a polymer chain. Also, a plurality of the functional group may be present in the end. The term "end" as referred to herein refers to a portion excluding a structure to be interposed between the repeating unit and the repeating unit constituting a polymer chain. The "chemical bond" as referred to herein can be considered in the same meanings as in the
foregoing thermoplastic resin (1) .
The functional group capable of forming a chemical bond with the inorganic fine particle is a functional group selected among the following groups:

<Surface treating agent>
In the invention, in mixing the inorganic fine particle dispersed in water or an alcohol solvent as described later with the thermoplastic resin, a fine particle surface modifying agent other than the foregoing thermoplastic resin may be added for a variety of purposes such as a purpose of enhancing extraction properties or substitution properties into the organic solvent, a purpose of enhancing the uniform dispersibility into the thermoplastic resin, a purpose of lowering the water absorption properties of the fine particle, or a purpose of enhancing the weather resistance. In the surface treating agent, its weight average molecular weight is preferably from 50 to 50, 000, more preferably from 100 to 20, 000, and further preferably from 200 to 10,000.

[Manufacturing method of organic-inorganic hybrid composition]
The organic-inorganic hybrid composition of the invention is preferably manufactured by chemically bonding the inorganic fine particle with the foregoing functional group-containing thermoplastic resin to disperse it in the resin. At that time, the compound represented by the formula (1) is made present.
Since the inorganic fine particle to be used in the invention is small in particle size and high in surface energy, when isolated as a solid, it is difficult to be re-dispersed. Therefore, it is preferable that the inorganic fine particle is mixed with the thermoplastic resin in a dispersed state in a solution to form a stable dispersion. Preferred examples of the manufacturing method of the organic-inorganic hybrid composition include [1] a method in which an inorganic fine particle is surface treated in the presence of the foregoing surface treating agent, the surface-treated inorganic fine particle is extracted into an organic solvent, and the extracted inorganic fine particle is uniformly mixed with the foregoing thermoplastic resin and the foregoing compound represented by the formula (1) to manufacture a hybrid material of the inorganic fine particle and the thermoplastic resin; and [2] a method in which an inorganic fine particle, a thermoplastic
resin, a compound represented by the formula (1) and other additives are uniformly mixed using a solvent capable of uniformly dispersing or dissolving all of the components therein to manufacture a hybrid material of the inorganic fine particle and the thermoplastic resin.
In the case where a hybrid material of the inorganic fine particle and the thermoplastic resin is manufactured by the foregoing method [1] , a water-insoluble solvent such as toluene, ethyl acetate, methyl isobutyl ketone, chloroform, dichloroethane, dichloromethane, chlorobenzene and methoxybenzene is used as the organic solvent. Though the surface treating agent to be used for extracting the inorganic fine particle into the organic solvent and the thermoplastic resin may be the same kind or a different kind, as to the surface treating agent to be preferably used, those described above in the <Surface treating agent> section are exemplified.
In mixing the inorganic fine particle extracted into the organic solvent and the thermoplastic resin, the compound represented by the formula (1) is added, and additives such as a plasticizer, a releasing agent and a polymer of other type may further be added as the need arises.
In the case where the foregoing method [2] is employed, a single or mixed solvent of hydrophilic polar solvents (for example, dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, benzyl alcohol, cyclohexanol, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, l-methoxy-2-propanol, tert-butanol, acetic acid, propionic acid) is preferably used as the solvent. Alternatively, a mixed solvent of a water-insoluble resin (for example, chloroform, dichloroethane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, toluene, chlorobenzene, methoxybenzene) and the foregoing polar solvent is preferably used as the solvent. On that occasion, apart from the foregoing thermoplastic resin, adispersant, a plasticizer, a releasing agent or a polymer of other type may be added as
the need arises. In using a fine particle dispersed in water/methanol, it is preferable that after adding a hydrophilic solvent capable of dissolving the thermoplastic resin therein at a higher boiling point than that of water/methanol, the water/methanol is concentrated and distilled off, thereby substituting a dispersion of the fine particle into the polar organic solvent, followed by mixing with the resin. At that time, the foregoing surface treating agent may be added. The solution of the organic-inorganic hybrid composition obtained in the foregoing method [1] or [2] can be subjected to cast molding as it is, to obtain a transparent molding. However, in the invention, it is especially preferable that after removing the solvent from the solution by a method such as concentration, freeze-drying and reprecipitation from an appropriate poor solvent, a powdered solid is molded by a known method such as injection molding and compression molding. Also, on that occasion, the powdered organic-inorganic hybrid composition of the invention can be directly processed into a molding such as lenses by heat melting or compression. It is also possible to prepare an optical component such as lenses by once preparing a preform (precursor) having fixed weight and shape by a method such as an extrusion method and deforming the preform by compression molding. In that case, in order to efficiently prepare a desired shape, it is also possible to bring the preform with an appropriate curvature.

Also, the light transmittance at a wavelength of 405 nm is preferably 60% or more, more preferably 65% or more, and especially preferably
70% or more. When the light transmittance as reduced in a thickness of 1 mm at a wavelength of 589 run is 70% or more, it is easy to obtain a lens base material having more preferable properties. In the invention, the light transmittance as reduced in a thickness of 1 mm is a value obtained by molding the organic-inorganic hybrid composition to prepare a substrate having a thickness of 1.0 mm and measuring it by a spectrophotometer for ultraviolet and visible region (UV-3100, manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) . Also, in the organic-inorganic hybrid composition of the invention, its refractive index at a wavelength of 589 nm is preferably 1.60 or greater, more preferably 1.65 or greater, and especially preferably 1.67 or greater.

When the glass transition temperature is 1000C or higher, sufficient heat resistance is easily obtained; and when the glass transition temperature is not higher than 400 0C, there is a tendency that it is easy to achieve molding processing.
In the organic-inorganic hybrid composition of the invention, it is preferable that when kept at 2000C for 2 hours, its volatile component content is not more than 2% by mass; it is more preferable that when kept at 230 °C for 2 hours, its volatile component content is not more than 2% by mass; and it is especially preferable that when kept at 2500C for 2 hours, its volatile component content is not more than 2% by mass.
In the organic-inorganic hybrid composition of the invention, its percentage of saturated water absorption is
preferably not more than 2% by mass, more preferably not more than 1% by mass, and especially preferably not more than 0.5% by mass.
[Article]
By forming the organic-inorganic hybrid composition of the invention to a particular shape (for example by molding) , it is possible to manufacture the article of the invention. As to the article of the invention, one exhibiting the refractive index and optical properties described above for the organic-inorganic hybrid composition is useful.
Also, the article of the invention is especially useful for high-refractive index optical components having a thickness of 0.1 mm or more at maximum. It is preferable to apply the article of the invention to optical components having a thickness of from 0.1 to 5 mm; and it is especially preferable to apply the article of the invention to optical components having a thickness of from 1 to 3 mm.
In manufacturing such a thick article by a solution casting method, the solvent is hardly discharged so that article is usually not easy.
