Description

Heat ray shielding material, laminated structure and laminated glass

The present invention relates to a heat ray shielding material, a laminated structure using such a heat ray shielding material, and laminated glass, which achieves high light transmittance in the visible light region while improving infrared reflectance over a wide band.

In recent years, heat ray shielding materials for automobile and building windows have been developed as one of the energy-saving measures to reduce carbon dioxide. About heat ray shielding imparting material, from the viewpoint of heat ray shielding properties (acquisition rate of solar heat), re-radiation of absorbed light into the room (about 1/3 of the absorbed solar energy is emitted into the room) A heat ray reflective type that does not re-emit in the first place is preferable to a certain heat ray absorbing type. Therefore, various proposals have been made for heat ray reflective heat ray shielding imparting materials.

For example, a metal Ag thin film is generally used as a heat ray reflecting material because of its high reflectance, but it reflects not only visible light and heat rays but also radio waves, so that it has visible light permeability and radio wave permeability. Low was a problem. Low-E glass (for example, manufactured by Asahi Glass Co., Ltd.) using Ag and ZnO multilayer film is widely used in buildings in order to increase visible light transmittance, but Low-E glass is made of metal Ag on the glass surface. Since the thin film was formed, there existed a subject that radio wave permeability was low.

In order to solve the above problems, for example, a glass with island-shaped Ag particles imparted with radio wave permeability has been proposed. Moreover, the glass which formed granular Ag by annealing the Ag thin film formed by vapor deposition is proposed (refer patent document 1).

Alternatively, an infrared reflective layer in which 5 to 200 layers of at least two transparent thin layers having different refractive indexes are alternately laminated and a dispersion film of conductive fine particles such as tin-doped indium oxide (ITO), such as a polymer multilayer extruded film A polymer multilayer extruded film, which is a functional film having an infrared absorbing layer made of, has been proposed (see Patent Document 2).

Japanese Patent No. 3454422 JP 2010-222233 A

However, in the glass described in Patent Document 1, since granular Ag is formed by annealing, it is difficult to control the particle size, shape, area ratio, etc., control of the reflection wavelength, band, etc. of heat rays, visible light transmission As a result, it is difficult to improve the rate, and as a result, there is a problem that infrared rays on the short wavelength side where solar energy is high in infrared light cannot be sufficiently shielded.
Further, in the functional film described in Patent Document 2, the polymer multilayer extruded film is effective for reflection in the infrared region, but in order to keep the visible light region transparent, the generation of the second harmonic in the visible light region is prevented. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the infrared reflection region to around 800 to 1,100 nm. Therefore, in this proposal, infrared shielding after 1,100 nm is supplemented with an infrared absorbing layer containing ITO or the like. In that case, since there are many components that easily change to heat, there is a problem that the suppression of heat generation is insufficient and the shielding coefficient is not sufficiently low. In addition, when the infrared shielding filter is attached to a window glass, the temperature rises differently in places where it is not exposed to sunlight, so the glass breaks due to the difference in the expansion coefficient of the film, so-called thermal cracking phenomenon There was a problem that happened.
Therefore, there is a demand for a heat ray shielding material having improved infrared reflectance over the entire band and having high light transmittance in the visible light region, and a laminated structure and laminated glass using the heat ray shielding material. It is.

In FIG. 2B, the angle (± θ) formed between the surface of the infrared reflective layer 1 and the main plane or extension of the main plane of the flat metal particles 3 corresponds to a predetermined range in the plane orientation. That is, the plane orientation means a state in which the inclination angle (± θ) shown in FIG. 2B is small when the cross section of the heat ray shielding material is observed. In particular, FIG. 2A shows the surface of the infrared reflecting layer 1 and the flat metal particles. 3 is in contact with the main plane, that is, a state where θ is 0 °.

[Evaluation of plane orientation]
The evaluation of whether or not the main plane of the flat metal particles is plane-oriented with respect to one surface of the metal particle-containing layer (or the surface of the infrared reflective layer) is not particularly limited and is appropriately selected according to the purpose.

[Average particle diameter (average equivalent circle diameter) and average particle diameter (average equivalent circle diameter) particle size distribution]
The average particle diameter (average equivalent circle diameter) of the flat metal particles is not particularly limited and may be appropriately selected depending on the intended purpose, but is preferably 70 nm to 500 nm, and more preferably 80 nm to 400 nm. When the average particle diameter (average equivalent circle diameter) is less than 70 nm, the contribution of the absorption of the flat metal particles is larger than the reflection, so that sufficient heat ray reflectivity may not be obtained. Haze (scattering) increases, and the transparency of the heat ray shielding material may be impaired.
Here, the average particle diameter (average equivalent circle diameter) is an average value of main plane diameters (maximum lengths) of 200 flat metal particles arbitrarily selected from images obtained by observing particles with a TEM. Means.
Two or more kinds of metal particles having different average particle diameters (average equivalent circle diameters) can be included in the metal particle-containing layer. In this case, two or more peaks of the average particle diameter (average equivalent circle diameter) of the metal particles are present.

Here, the coefficient of variation in the particle size distribution of the flat metal particles is plotted, for example, by plotting the particle size distribution range of the 200 flat metal particles used for calculating the average value obtained as described above. The standard deviation is obtained, and is a value (%) divided by the average value (average particle diameter (average equivalent circle diameter)) of the main plane diameter (maximum length) obtained as described above.

[aspect ratio]
The aspect ratio of the flat metal particles is not particularly limited and may be appropriately selected depending on the intended purpose. However, since the reflectance in the infrared light region having a wavelength of 900 nm to 2,000 nm is high, the aspect ratio is 10%. To 45 is preferable, and 20 to 35 is more preferable. When the aspect ratio is less than 10, the reflection wavelength becomes smaller than 900 nm, and when it exceeds 45, the reflection wavelength becomes longer than 2,000 nm and sufficient heat ray reflectivity may not be obtained.
The aspect ratio means a value obtained by dividing the average particle diameter (average equivalent circle diameter) of the flat metal particles by the average particle thickness of the flat metal particles. The average particle thickness corresponds to the distance between the main planes of the flat metal particles, and is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B and can be measured by an atomic force microscope (AFM).
The method for measuring the average particle thickness by AFM is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected depending on the purpose.For example, a particle dispersion containing flat metal particles is dropped onto a glass substrate and dried. For example, a method of measuring the thickness of one particle may be used.

Outside this range, the effect of increasing the amplitude of the reflected wave due to the phase of the reflected wave at the interface air interface between the upper and lower metal particle-containing layers of the heat ray shielding material is reduced, haze characteristics, The visible light transmittance and the maximum heat ray reflectance may decrease.

The plasmon resonance wavelength λ of the metal constituting the flat metal particles in the metal particle-containing layer is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected according to the purpose, but is 400 nm to 2 in terms of imparting heat ray reflection performance. , 500 nm is preferable, and from the viewpoint of imparting visible light transmittance, 700 nm to 2,500 nm is more preferable.
There is no restriction | limiting in particular as a medium in a metal particle content layer, According to the objective, it can select suitably, For example, polyvinyl acetal resin, polyvinyl alcohol resin, polyvinyl butyral resin, polyacrylate resin, polymethylmethacrylate resin, polycarbonate resin , Polyvinyl chloride resin, saturated polyester resin, polyurethane resin, polymers such as natural polymers such as gelatin and cellulose, and inorganic substances such as silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide.

When the area ratio is less than 15%, the maximum reflectance of the heat ray is lowered, and the heat shielding effect may not be sufficiently obtained.
Here, the area ratio can be measured, for example, by performing image processing on an image obtained by SEM observation of the heat ray shielding material from above or an image obtained by AFM (atomic force microscope) observation.

[Average distance between flat metal particles]
The average inter-particle distance between the flat metal particles adjacent in the horizontal direction in the metal particle-containing layer is 1/10 of the average particle diameter of the flat metal particles in terms of the visible light transmittance and the maximum reflectance of the heat ray. The above is preferable.
When the average interparticle distance in the horizontal direction of the flat metal particles is less than 1/10 of the average particle diameter of the flat metal particles, the maximum reflectivity of the heat rays is lowered. Further, the average interparticle distance in the horizontal direction is preferably non-uniform (random) in terms of visible light transmittance. If it is not random, that is, if it is uniform, absorption of visible light occurs, and the transmittance may decrease.

Here, the average interparticle distance in the horizontal direction of the flat metal particles means the average value of the interparticle distance between two adjacent particles. In addition, the average distance between the particles means that “other than the origin when taking a two-dimensional autocorrelation of luminance values when binarizing an SEM image including 100 or more tabular metal particles. Does not have a significant local maximum. "

In addition, when it is difficult to form a high refractive index metal oxide layer shell directly on the flat metal particles, after synthesizing the flat metal particles as described above, an appropriate SiO ₂ or polymer shell layer is formed. Furthermore, a metal oxide layer may be formed on the shell layer. When TiO _x is used as a material for the high refractive index metal oxide layer, since TiO _x has photocatalytic activity, there is a concern that the matrix in which the flat metal particles are dispersed may be deteriorated.
