Abstract:
To provide zinc oxide particles having a surface coated with organosilicon, the particles exhibiting a high dispersibility and excellent water repellency. Zinc oxide particles having a surface coated with organosilicon, the zinc oxide particles having a primary particle size of 0.1 μm or less as measured based on a transmission electron micrograph, and a median size based on a volume of 0.15 μm or less, where the median size is determined by charging the powder in isopropyl alcohol, dispersing the powder by application of ultrasonic wave with a rated output of 600 W and an oscillation amplitude of 100% generated by an ultrasonic homogenizer at a normal temperature for 30 seconds, and measuring the dispersion by a laser diffraction scattering method.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method capable of producing hexagonal plate-shaped zinc oxide having a small thickness and a small variation in the particle size. The present invention relates to a method for producing hexagonal plate-shaped zinc oxide, the method including: a step (1) of preparing a slurry mixture containing starting particulate zinc oxide, a zinc acetate solution, and a chloride; and a step (2) of heat aging the slurry mixture obtained in the step (1) at 60° C. to 100° C.
Abstract:
This invention provides a material that is capable of preparing an external composition that achieves high smoothness and low roughness and that reflects near-infrared rays. Specifically, a granular composite comprising keratin and hexagonal plate-shaped zinc oxide particles is provided.
