PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide ultrafine and fine particles, and to provide a method for making and isolating the particles. SOLUTION: A method of making isolated particles including the step of at least substantially encapsulating particles present in a highly dispersed colloidal suspension with an encapsulant material, such that the encapsulated particles remain independent and discrete upon separation from the suspension. Also, independent and discrete particles at least substantially encapsulated with the encapsulant material. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
摘要:
A process for making functional or decorative flakes or platelets economically and at high production rates comprises applying a multi-layer sandwich of vapor deposited metal and release coats in alternating layers to a rotating chilled drum or suitable carrier medium contained in a vapor deposition chamber. The alternating metallized layers are applied by vapor deposition and the intervening release layers are preferably solvent soluble thermoplastic polymeric materials applied by vapor deposition sources contained in the vapor deposition chamber. The multi-layer sandwich built up in the vacuum chamber is removed from the drum or carrier and treated with a suitable organic solvent to dissolve the release coating from the metal in a stripping process that leaves the metal flakes essentially release coat free. The solvent and dissolved release material are then removed by centrifuging to produce a cake of concentrated flakes which can be air milled and let down in a preferred vehicle and further sized and homogenized for final use in inks, paints or coatings. In one embodiment the finished flakes comprise single-layer thin metal or metal alloy flakes or flakes of inorganic materials, and in another embodiment flakes are coated on both sides with protective polymeric coatings that were applied from suitable vacuum deposition sources or the like contained in the vapor deposition chamber.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a metal powder which has a sintering starting temperature shifted to the higher region, though being fine particles, and consequently does not cause rapid shrinking when sintered. SOLUTION: This method for manufacturing metal powder of nickel as nucleus surrounded by aluminum comprises evaporating metallic nickel, metallic aluminum, or an alloy of these metals, with thermal plasma, arc plasma, or high-frequency discharge, in an inert gas containing hydrogen gas for instance, or evaporating a nickel compound and an aluminum compound by heating, then reducing the vapor with hydrogen or the like, to make a gas mixture of nickel element and aluminum element, and then cooling and solidifying the evaporated aluminum element and nickel element. The metal powder does not cause rapid shrinking when sintered, because the sintering starting temperature is shifted to the higher region by an effect of aluminum.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a composition containing metallic fine particles which are hardly flocculated each other, and are more stable against oxidation. SOLUTION: The vapor of copper generated in a crucible 2 of an evaporation chamber 1 progresses to a recovery chamber 5 via a valve 8 by the exhaust action thereof into a gaseous mixture with the vapor of diethanolamine (and gaseous argon). This gaseous mixture reaches a cooling part 6, and by cooling action in a space region including the vicinity of the cooling part at this time, copper fine particles are precipitated into the cooling part 6. The average particle size of the copper fine particles is 0.1 to 10 nm, and, the surface is coated in a state in which the diethanolamine is coordinated to copper. The copper fine particle-containing composition 9 in the cooling part 6 lies in a state in which the coated copper fine particles are dispersed into the diethanolamine.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a titanium nano fine wire having a uniform wire diameter by forming a structural body provided with a layer having fine pores on a base body having a surface containing titanium and in which the pores extend to the surface and then, heat-treating the structural body to form fine wires containing titanium in the pores. SOLUTION: A base body 10 is obtd. by forming a layer 11 which constitutes a surface containing titanium on the surface of a substrate 16 such as quartz glass and Si. Then, a film 12 essentially comprising Al is formed on the layer 11 of the base body 10 and is subjected to anodic oxidation to form a porous body 13 comprising anodically oxidized alumina having pores extending to the surface on the base body 10. The structural body forming the porous body 13 on the base body 10 provided with the surface containing titanium is heat- treated in an atmosphere containing >=1 Pa water vapor at 500 to 1,000 deg.C to allow the titanium in the pore bottoms to react with the atmosphere to form titanium nano fine wires 15 having
