Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The composite particle of the present invention includes an alumina particle having a card-house structure which is formed of three or more pieces of plate-like alumina and in which the pieces of plate-like alumina are fixed to each other; and an inorganic coating part provided on a surface of the plate-like alumina.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A composite particle comprising: an alumina particle having a card-house structure which is formed of three or more pieces of plate-like alumina and in which the pieces of plate-like alumina are fixed to each other; and an inorganic coating part provided on a surface of the plate-like alumina, and wherein the average particle size of the alumina particle is 3 μm or more and 1,000 μm or less, wherein the alumina particle further comprise at least one of silicon and germanium, and wherein a content of silicon with respect to 100% by mass of the alumina particles, which is obtained by XRF analysis, is 0.5% by weight to 4% by weight in terms of silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ); and a content of germanium with respect to 100% by weight of the alumina particles is 0.01% by weight to 8% by weight in terms of germanium dioxide (GeO 2 ). 2 . The composite particle according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic coating part is made of an oxide. 3 . The composite particle according to claim 2 , wherein the oxide includes one or more selected from the group consisting of titanium oxide, iron oxide, and silica. 4 . The composite particle according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic coating part is made of a metal. 5 . The composite particle according to claim 4 , wherein the includes one or more selected from the group consisting of silver, nickel, copper, gold, and platinum. 6 . The composite particle according to claim 1 , wherein the alumina particle comprises mullite in a surface layer.
