It is more preferably 0.1 to 10 parts by mass, and even more preferably 0.1 to 1 part by mass. The amount of the salt added to the organic solvent is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.05 to 10 g / L.

有機溶媒に塩と層状鉱物粉体を加える添加工程を行う際の環境条件は特に限定されないが、常温、空気中で簡便に行うことができる。また、添加する順番は問わない。同時でもよいし、層状鉱物粉体の分散液に塩を加えてもよい。その後の混合工程は、公知の混合手段を制限なく用いることができる。例えば、攪拌機等の混合機を用いることができる。また、超音波照射、マイクロ波照射、高速ホモジナイザ(High Speed Homogenizer)、圧力式ホモジナイザ、ジェットミル、ボールミル、ビーズミル処理等が例示できる。混合工程において、加熱工程を併用してもよい。 The environmental conditions for adding the salt and the layered mineral powder to the organic solvent are not particularly limited, but can be easily carried out at room temperature and in the air. In addition, the order of addition does not matter. It may be done at the same time, or a salt may be added to the dispersion of the layered mineral powder. In the subsequent mixing step, known mixing means can be used without limitation. For example, a mixer such as a stirrer can be used. Further, ultrasonic irradiation, microwave irradiation, high speed homogenizer, pressure homogenizer, jet mill, ball mill, bead mill treatment and the like can be exemplified. In the mixing step, a heating step may be used in combination.

混合工程後は、必要に応じて、濾別工程を行うことができる。濾別に用いるフィルターとしては、テフロン(登録商標)性メンブレン等が好適に用いられる。用途により最適な孔径を選定する。通常、濾取工程を行った後に、良溶媒を用いて洗浄を行う。これらの工程を経て、塩等の不純物を除去する。 After the mixing step, a filtering step can be performed if necessary. As the filter used for each filter, a Teflon (registered trademark) membrane or the like is preferably used. Select the optimum hole diameter according to the application. Usually, after performing the filtration step, washing is performed with a good solvent. Through these steps, impurities such as salts are removed.

濾別工程(濾取工程)を行った後または濾別工程(濾取工程)を行わずに、本実施形態に係る有機溶媒に再分散させ、サイズ分画工程を行うことができる。サイズ分画の方法としては、遠心分離法、透析、濾過(限外濾過、加圧濾過、減圧濾過等)、超遠心分離などが例示できる。 After performing the filtration step (filtering step) or without performing the filtering step (filtering step), the size fractionation step can be performed by redispersing in the organic solvent according to the present embodiment. Examples of the size fractionation method include centrifugation, dialysis, filtration (ultrafiltration, pressure filtration, vacuum filtration, etc.), ultracentrifugation, and the like.

これらの工程を経て、層状鉱物粉体の剥離が行われる。剥離を促進させる方法としては、塩濃度を高くしたり、混合処理を長くしたり撹拌条件をハードにしたりすることが有効である。層状鉱物粉体が剥離されるメカニズムは、上記特定の有機溶媒中で層状鉱物粉体と塩を接触させることによって、塩の一部が解離し、層状鉱物粉体と塩の対カチオンが相互に結合又は配位し、これにより層状鉱物粉体に静電反発が誘起され、層状鉱物粉体の剥離が起こるものと考察している。層状鉱物粉体と塩の対カチオンとの結合又は配位は、主として層状鉱物粉体のエッジ部において形成されているものと考えている。従って、これらの工程により得られる層状鉱物粉体は、主としてエッジ部に塩の対カチオンが結合又は配位されていると考えられる。塩の対アニオン、層状鉱物粉体と結合していない対カチオンおよび塩は、溶液とともに容易に除去できるが、残存していてもよい。 Through these steps, the layered mineral powder is exfoliated. As a method for promoting exfoliation, it is effective to increase the salt concentration, lengthen the mixing treatment, or make the stirring conditions hard. The mechanism by which the layered mineral powder is exfoliated is that when the layered mineral powder and the salt are brought into contact with each other in the above-mentioned specific organic solvent, a part of the salt is dissociated and the paired cations of the layered mineral powder and the salt are mutually. It is considered that the bond or coordination causes electrostatic repulsion to be induced in the layered mineral powder, and the layered mineral powder is peeled off. It is considered that the bond or coordination between the layered mineral powder and the counter cation of the salt is mainly formed at the edge portion of the layered mineral powder. Therefore, it is considered that the layered mineral powder obtained by these steps has a salt counter-cation bonded or coordinated mainly at the edge portion. The counter anion of the salt, the counter cation not bound to the layered mineral powder and the salt can be easily removed with the solution, but may remain.

本実施形態に係る層状鉱物粉体の剥離方法によれば、特定の有機溶媒に対して塩と原料の層状鉱物粉体を加え、混合工程を行うという簡便な工程により行うので、生産性を格段に高めることができる。なお、剥離後の層状鉱物粉体は、原料の層状鉱物粉体に比して薄膜化されているものであり、層状鉱物粉体のエッジ部には、塩のカチオン対が結合または配位していると考えられる。得られた分散液は、そのまま若しくは精製して利用することができる。また、分散液に樹脂等を加えて、例えばペースト材料として利用できる。また、インク等の組成物として利用することもできる。また、分散液から塩等の不要物を除去し、有機溶媒を留去して粉体として用いることができる。有機溶媒を留去する際の乾燥工程は、例えば、加熱乾燥、真空乾燥またはこれらを組み合わせる例が挙げられる。 According to the layered mineral powder peeling method according to the present embodiment, the salt and the layered mineral powder as a raw material are added to a specific organic solvent, and the mixing step is performed, so that the productivity is significantly improved. Can be enhanced to. The layered mineral powder after peeling is thinner than the layered mineral powder of the raw material, and the cation pair of the salt is bonded or coordinated to the edge portion of the layered mineral powder. It is thought that it is. The obtained dispersion can be used as it is or after purification. Further, it can be used as a paste material, for example, by adding a resin or the like to the dispersion liquid. It can also be used as a composition such as ink. Further, unnecessary substances such as salts can be removed from the dispersion liquid, and the organic solvent can be distilled off to use as a powder. Examples of the drying step for distilling off the organic solvent include heat drying, vacuum drying, or a combination thereof.

層状ナノプレート複合体は、分散液のまま用いる他、例えばペーストや粉体として又はシート状に形成して利用できるが、層状ナノプレート複合体からカチオン成分を除去することもできる。後者の場合には、加熱により容易にアンモニウム成分を除去できる観点から、アンモニウムイオンが結合した層状ナノプレート複合体が好ましい。樹脂と層状ナノプレート複合体の含有比はニーズに応じて適宜設計できる。樹脂に対する層状ナノプレート複合体の含有量は、例えば0.1〜95質量%である。基材に塗工して塗膜を形成してもよい。 The layered nanoplate complex can be used as it is as a dispersion, for example, as a paste or powder, or can be formed in the form of a sheet, but the cation component can also be removed from the layered nanoplate complex. In the latter case, a layered nanoplate composite to which ammonium ions are bonded is preferable from the viewpoint that the ammonium component can be easily removed by heating. The content ratio of the resin and the layered nanoplate complex can be appropriately designed according to the needs. The content of the layered nanoplate complex with respect to the resin is, for example, 0.1 to 95% by mass. The substrate may be coated to form a coating film.

組成物として用いる場合には、塩を必要に応じて除去した後、他の化合物を添加することができる。他の化合物は、目的およびニーズに応じて適宜選定できる。好適な例として樹脂、分散剤、消泡剤、可塑剤、酸化防止剤、着色剤および結着材等を加えてもよい。樹脂は、熱可塑性樹脂、硬化性化合物を含む熱硬化性樹脂等が例示できる。また、感光性樹脂、導電性樹脂も好適に用いられる。熱可塑性樹脂としては、(メタ)アクリル系ポリマー、ポリオレフィン樹脂、ポリアミド樹脂、ポリスチレン、ポリカーボネート、ポリエチレンテレフタレート、フェノキシ樹脂、感光性樹脂等が挙げられる。また、耐衝撃性向上のために、熱可塑性樹脂組成物はその他のエラストマー成分を含有してもよい。また、樹脂として導電性高分子を用い、グラフェンおよび/またはグラファイトと導電性高分子の相乗効果によって導電特性を発現させることができる。樹脂と層状ナノプレート複合体の含有比は、ニーズに応じて適宜設計できる。樹脂に対する層状ナノプレート複合体の含有量は、例えば、0.1〜95質量%である。 When used as a composition, other compounds can be added after removing the salt as needed. Other compounds can be appropriately selected according to the purpose and needs. As a suitable example, a resin, a dispersant, an antifoaming agent, a plasticizer, an antioxidant, a coloring agent, a binder and the like may be added. Examples of the resin include a thermoplastic resin, a thermosetting resin containing a curable compound, and the like. Further, a photosensitive resin and a conductive resin are also preferably used. Examples of the thermoplastic resin include (meth) acrylic polymers, polyolefin resins, polyamide resins, polystyrenes, polycarbonates, polyethylene terephthalates, phenoxy resins, and photosensitive resins. Further, in order to improve the impact resistance, the thermoplastic resin composition may contain other elastomer components. Further, when a conductive polymer is used as the resin, the conductive property can be exhibited by the synergistic effect of graphene and / or graphite and the conductive polymer. The content ratio of the resin and the layered nanoplate complex can be appropriately designed according to the needs. The content of the layered nanoplate complex with respect to the resin is, for example, 0.1 to 95% by mass.

非特許文献1、特許文献1の方法によれば、酸化・還元反応を行う工程を含んでおり生産性が高いとはいえなかった。また、特許文献2〜4の方法によれば、特定のイオン液体、活性メチレン化合物誘導体或いはポリ芳香族炭化水素化合物等を用意する必要があり、生産性が高いとはいえなかった。更に、非特許文献2の方法によれば、NMP、DMF又はDMSOを用いるので、例えばシート化するときの乾燥工程において分散液のポストプロセス性に課題があった。 According to the methods of Non-Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 1, it cannot be said that the productivity is high because it includes a step of performing an oxidation / reduction reaction. Further, according to the methods of Patent Documents 2 to 4, it is necessary to prepare a specific ionic liquid, an active methylene compound derivative, a polyaromatic hydrocarbon compound, or the like, and it cannot be said that the productivity is high. Further, according to the method of Non-Patent Document 2, since NMP, DMF or DMSO is used, there is a problem in the post-processability of the dispersion liquid in the drying step at the time of forming a sheet, for example.

一方、本実施形態に係る層状鉱物粉体の剥離方法によれば、数式(1)および数式(2)を満たす有機溶媒を用い、且つ酸解離定数pKa(HO)が0越えの酸からなる塩を用いることによって、層状鉱物粉体の剥離を簡便且つ短時間に行うことができる。また、市販の塩を用いることができるので製造工程が簡便であり、生産性が高められる。これは、塩の対アニオンが結合又は配位された層状ナノプレート複合体の互いの静電反発により分散性が高まることによって、有機溶媒中での分散性を顕著に高められたものと考えている。また、得られる層状ナノプレート複合体の経時的安定性も向上させることができる。 On the other hand, according to the method for peeling layered mineral powder according to the present embodiment, an organic solvent satisfying the formulas (1) and (2) is used, and the acid dissociation constant pKa (H 2 O) is from an acid exceeding 0. By using the salt, the layered mineral powder can be easily and quickly peeled off. Further, since a commercially available salt can be used, the manufacturing process is simple and the productivity is enhanced. It is considered that this is because the dispersibility in the organic solvent is remarkably enhanced by increasing the dispersibility due to the mutual electrostatic repulsion of the layered nanoplate complex to which the counter anion of the salt is bonded or coordinated. There is. In addition, the stability of the obtained layered nanoplate complex over time can be improved.

また、混合工程において外部エネルギーの有無およびその強度を調整することが容易であり、遠心分離後の再分離によるサイズ分画も容易である。また、本実施形態に係る層状鉱物粉体の剥離方法によれば、製造コスト低減を図ることができる。また、剥離により、原料の層状鉱物粉体に比して表面積を高めることができるというメリットを有する。また、これに付随して層状鉱物粉体の特性(例えば伝導性等)を高めることが期待できる。 In addition, it is easy to adjust the presence or absence of external energy and its strength in the mixing step, and it is easy to perform size fractionation by re-separation after centrifugation. Further, according to the layered mineral powder peeling method according to the present embodiment, the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Further, the peeling has an advantage that the surface area can be increased as compared with the layered mineral powder of the raw material. In addition, it can be expected that the characteristics (for example, conductivity, etc.) of the layered mineral powder will be enhanced accordingly.
