Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a method for producing a zirconia-coated titanium oxide fine particle dispersion which includes (1) a step of preparing a dispersion (1) of titanium oxide fine particles, (2) a step of adding, to the dispersion (1), 1 to 50 parts by mass of an aqueous peroxozirconic acid solution in terms of the mass of ZrO 2 per 100 parts by mass of the titanium oxide fine particles, and then aging reaction fine particles (2a) obtained as a result of a reaction between the titanium oxide fine particles and the peroxozirconic acid to thereby obtain a dispersion (2) of a zirconia-coated titanium oxide fine particle precursor (2b), and (3) a step of adjusting the dispersion (2) to have a solid concentration of 0.01 to 10 mass % and then hydrothermally treating the resulting dispersion (2).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . Zirconia-coated titanium oxide fine particles comprising: titanium oxide fine particles satisfying Requirement (a) below; and zirconia coating layers covering the titanium oxide fine particles and satisfying Requirement (b) below, wherein the zirconia-coated titanium oxide fine particles as a whole satisfy Requirement (c) below and have an average particle size of 3 to 50 nm; Requirement (a): The titanium oxide fine particles contain 60 mass % or more of Ti in terms of the mass of TiO 2 and at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Al, Zr, Sb, Zn, Ni, Fe, Ba, Mg, Sn, Si, and V; Requirement (b): The amount of the zirconia coating layers per 100 parts by mass of the titanium oxide fine particles is 1 to 50 parts by mass in terms of the mass of ZrO 2 ; Requirement (c): When the average particle size and the color fading rate of the titanium oxide fine particles are represented by D1 and PA1, respectively, and the average particle size and the color fading rate of the zirconia-coated titanium oxide fine particles are represented by D4 and PA4, respectively, D4/D1 is 0.8 to 1.2 and PA4/PA1 is 0.4 or less. 2 . The zirconia-coated titanium oxide fine particles according to claim 1 , wherein the titanium oxide fine particles contain Ti and Sn in such amounts that the TiO 2 /SnO 2 mass ratio is 3 to 16. 3 . A dispersion of the zirconia-coated titanium oxide fine particles according to claim 1 . 4 . The zirconia-coated titanium oxide fine particles according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of components other than zirconia in the coating layers is 10% or less by mass.
