Abstract:
The present invention relates to a complex oxide having a BET specific surface area of about 10 to about 200 m2/g, comprising zinc oxide as a primary component, containing crystalline structures of both zinc oxide and silica, and exhibiting diffraction peaks in lattice planes (100), (002), and (101), which are X-ray crystallographically specific to diffraction peaks of crystalline zinc oxide, and in a lattice plane (101) which is X-ray crystallographically specific to the diffraction peak of crystalline silica.
Abstract:
When a polybasic acid salt containing at least one species selected from the group consisting of an alkaline earth metal, a transition metal, and Al is caused to be present on the surfaces of titanium dioxide fine particles, there are obtained photocatalytic particles and powder exhibiting sufficient photocatalytic properties when irradiated with light from a light source of low quantity of light. By use of the photo-functional particles and powder, an organic polymer composition, a slurry, a coating agent, and a product having a surface exhibiting photocatalytic property and hydrophilicity are obtained.
Abstract:
A condensed phosphate containing an alkaline earth metal is caused to be present on the surface of titanium dioxide fine particles, and as a result, the condensed phosphate is firmly coupled with the fine particles and is barely liberated from the surface of the fine particles into a medium such as a binder or a resin. As a result, photo-functional particles exhibiting durability and dispersion stability are obtained. By use of the photo-functional particles, a powder and a slurry exhibiting excellent photo-functional property, durability, dispersion stability, and hydrophilicity are produced. In addition, by use of the powder and slurry, a polymer composition, a coating agent, a photo-functional formed article, and a photo-functional structure are produced.
