As everyone knows, the booty degree of the body surface amphipathic property surperficial with it is closely related, if body surface is hydrophilic, then adheres to inorganic minerals such as sand and dust easily, otherwise, if body surface is lipophilic, then adhere to organism such as oil smoke easily.Along with Motor vehicles such as automobile are on the increase, airborne organic dirt sharply increases, exterior walls etc. are exposed to airborne body surface and are easy to dirty, the adhesivity of the inorganics that organic dirt compares is stronger, be difficult to remove, so be necessary body surface is made hydrophilic, to improve its anti-dirty ability.
Occurring in nature seldom has other Superhydrophilic material except mica, people can use tensio-active agent to realize the wetting ability of body surface, but tensio-active agent is easy to volatilization or washed away, can only keep the hydrophilic effect of a few hours to a couple of days.Since the nineties, it is found that titanium dioxide can realize super hydrophilic effect under the rayed effect, and this effect is a kind of photocatalysis, titanium dioxide itself can't be consumed, thereby is a kind of persistent effect.
Titanium dioxide is as a kind of important mineral dye, and the preparation method is a lot, and two kinds of sulfuric acid process and chlorination processs are wherein arranged.Sulfuric acid process is the titanium sulfate solution heating hydrolysis, after the metatitanic acid precipitation that obtains is purified, calcines under the high temperature more than 800 ℃, pulverizes then and makes finished product; Chlorination process is that the gas phase titanium tetrachloride is at high temperature used dioxygen oxidation, the preparation TiO 2 particles.
Have above-mentioned hydrophilic nmature in order to form at body surface, need be titanium dioxide or titanium dioxide nano-particle appendix to body surface.One of method is that the pure titanium plate of atmospheric oxidation or anodic oxidation forms titanium dioxide film, but pure titanizing stable in properties is difficult to oxidation, and hydrophilicity can not get guaranteeing.Another kind method is with CVD method evaporation titanium dioxide, forms film at substrate surface, and this method is the price height not only, and can only be used for specific base material.Also having a kind of method is that titanium dioxide nano-particle is distributed in water or the organic solvent, make coating, be sprayed onto on the base material, water or organic solvent volatilization back form the titanium dioxide nano-particle film, but titanium dioxide nano-particle is difficult to disperse, the film tack is poor, and smoothness is not enough, and hydrophilicity is bad.The method that solves is that the titanic acid ester hydrolysis is prepared titanium dioxide nano sol at present, then it is coated on and forms film on the matrix, but the shortcoming of this method is that the titanic acid ester raw material is expensive, titanium dioxide nano-particle is a undefined structure in the film, do not have the photochemical catalysis hydrophilic active, must be after the pyroprocessing more than 400 ℃ possess hydrophilic property energy, can not be used for the base material of non-refractory, as plastics etc., be not suitable for preparation big area coating yet.
The objective of the invention is to overcome preparation during titania nano-paint used titanic acid ester raw material expensive, titanium dioxide nano-particle does not have crystalline structure in the film of making, need defectives such as pyroprocessing ability possess hydrophilic property energy, a kind of titania nano-paint that is used to form photocatalytic transparent hydrophilic coating is provided.
A further object of the present invention provides the preparation method of the titania nano-paint that is used to form photocatalytic transparent hydrophilic coating, and this method is simple to operate, easy to implement.
The object of the present invention is achieved like this: the titania nano-paint that is used to form photocatalytic transparent hydrophilic coating comprises titanium dioxide nano-particle, organosilicon caking agent and solvent, and wherein titanium dioxide nano-particle content is 0.5~30 grams per liter of coating total amount; With SiO

Further contain the known dispersion agent of those skilled in the art, coupling agent, perfume compound in the described coating.
Titanium dioxide nano-particle in the coating of the present invention, the preferred 3--100 nanometer of its particle diameter.When particle diameter is higher than 100 nanometers, cause the visible light scattering easily, make the coating of final formation opaque, influence the color and luster effect of coated article body itself, range of application is restricted; On the other hand, particle is more little, and the photochemical catalysis effect is good more, and the time that forms super hydrophily is short more.
The crystal formation of the titanium dioxide nano-particle in the coating of the present invention can be sharp titanium structure, it also can be rutile structure, can also be the mixing of sharp titanium and rutile crystal type structure, but the titanium dioxide nano-particle photocatalytic activity of anatase crystal type is better, price be also more cheap.
With the titanium sulfate thermal hydrolysis, the preparation metatitanic acid, purification, dry, low temperature calcination are used the monoprotic acid dispergation then, obtain titanium dioxide nano-particle colloidal sol.This colloidal sol transparent clear, wherein titanium dioxide nano-particle is in monodisperse status, and the median size of particle is between the 3-100 nanometer; Between preferred 10~20 nanometers, and crystal formation is sharp titanium or rutile structure, is specially adapted to the photocatalyst among the present invention.
The content of titanium dioxide nano-particle is 0.5~30 grams per liter of coating total amount among the present invention, and the too high then coat-thickness of titanium dioxide nano-particle content increases, and the transparency descends; The too low coatingsurface titanium dioxide nano-particle quantity not sufficient that then forms of titanium dioxide nano-particle content has reduced the photocatalytic surfaces hydrophilicity.Preferred content is 2~10g/l.
Caking agent is as a kind of important industrial raw materials and small stores, of a great variety, but most of organic adhesives all can be decomposed by the photocatalytic oxidation properties of titanium dioxide nano-particle, and the bonding strength of general inorganic adhesive and transparency all have problem.
