Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide magnesium oxide particles that have a high heat conductivity and excellent properties as heat-dissipating filler, and can prevent problems such as soft errors in the memory. The magnesium oxide particles have a BET specific surface area of 0.1 to 17 m2/g, and an α dose of 0.005 c/cm2·Hr or lower, the particles exhibiting a relation between an X-ray diffraction peak intensity y (cps) at a Bragg angle (2θ) of 42.80° to 43.00° and the BET specific surface area x (m2/g) as represented by the following inequality (1): y≧−960x+33000 (1).
Abstract:
The present invention provides a boron-containing silica dispersion having better dispersion stability at a high concentration, and higher binding properties between boron and silica than conventional dispersions. The present invention is a boron-containing silica dispersion containing amorphous silica particles containing boron atoms and a dispersion medium; the boron-containing amorphous silica particles having an average particle size of 10 to 100 nm, as determined from 40 particles selected at random in a transmission electron micrograph; the boron-containing silica dispersion having a solids content of 5 to 30 mass %; and the boron-containing silica dispersion having a sedimentation rate of the particles of 4% or less, when the boron-containing silica dispersion is left standing for 1000 hours, and proportions of SiO2 and B2O3 of 90.0 to 99.8 mass % and 0.2 to 10.0 mass %, respectively, in 100 mass % of a total of SiO2 and B2O3, all terms of oxide, when the boron-containing silica dispersion is subjected to ultrafiltration by the following method and dried; washing is performed by sequentially adding pure water in an amount of 6 times the volume of the boron-containing silica dispersion at a flow rate of a liquid fed of 3660 ml/minute using an ultrafiltration membrane with a fraction molecular weight of 13,000.
Abstract:
Provided is a boron-containing amorphous silica powder more excellent in terms of low temperature sinterability than conventional silica powders. The present invention relates to amorphous silica powder containing boron atoms, the boron-containing amorphous silica powder having an average particle size of 10 to 100 nm, as determined from 40 particles selected at random in a transmission electron micrograph, the boron-containing amorphous silica powder having a decrement in a boron content of 10 mass % or less, when fired under the following conditions:
5 to 10 g of a dried product of the boron-containing amorphous silica powder is filled into an alumina crucible, heated in the atmosphere at 200° C./hour to 1000° C. to 1100° C., maintained as it is for 5 hours, and cooled to room temperature.
