Description

本開示は、六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末及びその製造方法、並びに化粧料及びその製造方法に関する。 The present disclosure relates to a hexagonal boron nitride powder and a method for producing the same, and a cosmetic and a method for producing the same.

窒化ホウ素は、潤滑性、高熱伝導性、及び絶縁性等を有しており、固体潤滑剤、離型剤、樹脂及びゴムの充填材、化粧料(化粧品ともいう)の原料、並びに耐熱性を有する絶縁性焼結体等、幅広い用途に利用されている。化粧料に配合される六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の機能としては、化粧料への滑り性、伸び性、隠ぺい性の向上、及び、光沢性の付与等が挙げられる。特に、六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末は、同様の機能を有するタルク粉末及びマイカ粉末に比べて滑り性に優れているため、優れた滑り性が求められる化粧料に汎用されている。特許文献1では、滑り性を改善するために、せん断応力と加圧力の比を所定の数値範囲にすることが提案されている。 Boron nitride has lubricity, high thermal conductivity, and insulation properties, and is used as a solid lubricant, mold release agent, resin and rubber filler, raw material for cosmetics (also referred to as cosmetics), and has heat resistance. It is used in a wide range of applications, such as insulating sintered bodies. Functions of the hexagonal boron nitride powder blended into cosmetics include improving slipperiness, spreadability, and concealment properties of cosmetics, and imparting glossiness to the cosmetics. In particular, hexagonal boron nitride powder has superior slip properties compared to talc powder and mica powder, which have similar functions, and is therefore widely used in cosmetics that require excellent slip properties. Patent Document 1 proposes setting the ratio of shear stress to pressing force within a predetermined numerical range in order to improve slipperiness.

ところで、粉末には摩擦等の要因によって静電気が生じる場合がある。微粒体等の帯電量を測定する方法として、ファラデーケージの電圧を測定して、「帯電量=静電容量×電圧」の式によって帯電量を求める技術が知られている。特許文献2では、ファラデーケージを用いた粉粒体の帯電量の測定において、帯電量を高感度に測定することが可能な測定装置が提案されている。 Incidentally, static electricity may be generated in powder due to factors such as friction. As a method for measuring the amount of charge of fine particles, etc., there is a known technique of measuring the voltage of a Faraday cage and determining the amount of charge using the formula "charge amount=capacitance×voltage". Patent Document 2 proposes a measuring device that can measure the amount of charge with high sensitivity in measuring the amount of charge of powder or granular material using a Faraday cage.

六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末は、粒子同士又は容器の内壁との摩擦に伴う静電気によって帯電し、凝集する場合がある。このように適度に凝集するとふわふわとした触感が得られ、化粧料の原料として好適であることが分かった。そこで、本開示では、触感に優れる六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末及びその製造方法を提供する。また、本開示では、上述の六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を用いることによって、触感に優れる化粧料及びその製造方法を提供する。 Hexagonal boron nitride powder may become charged and aggregate due to static electricity caused by friction between particles or the inner wall of a container. It was found that proper aggregation gives a fluffy texture and is suitable as a raw material for cosmetics. Therefore, the present disclosure provides a hexagonal boron nitride powder with excellent tactility and a method for producing the same. Further, the present disclosure provides a cosmetic with excellent tactility and a method for producing the same by using the above-described hexagonal boron nitride powder.

本開示の一側面に係る六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末は、内径90mm及び高さ120mmであるポリエチレンテレフタレート製の容器に六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を10g収容し、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン製の4枚羽根を有する直径60mmの攪拌翼を用いて、300rpmで5分間攪拌したときの帯電量の絶対値が0.8nc/g以上である。このような六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末は、粒子同士の摩擦、及び収容容器の内壁との摩擦等の要因によって帯電して凝集し、ふわふわ感を有する。このため、十分に優れた触感を有する。このような六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を化粧料の原料として用いれば、十分に触感に優れる化粧料を得ることができる。 The hexagonal boron nitride powder according to one aspect of the present disclosure is prepared by storing 10 g of hexagonal boron nitride powder in a container made of polyethylene terephthalate having an inner diameter of 90 mm and a height of 120 mm, and having a diameter of 4 blades made of polytetrafluoroethylene. The absolute value of the charge amount when stirred for 5 minutes at 300 rpm using a 60 mm stirring blade is 0.8 nc/g or more. Such hexagonal boron nitride powder is charged and aggregated due to factors such as friction between particles and friction with the inner wall of the storage container, and has a fluffy feel. Therefore, it has a sufficiently excellent tactile feel. If such hexagonal boron nitride powder is used as a raw material for cosmetics, it is possible to obtain cosmetics with sufficiently excellent texture.

上記六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末は、上記帯電量の絶対値が2nc/g未満であってよい。六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の帯電量が大きくなり過ぎると化粧料の原料として用いたときに化粧料にざらざら感が生じる場合がある。これは、六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末が凝集し過ぎることによるものと考えられる。帯電量の絶対値が2nc/g未満であることによって、ざらざら感を十分に低減することができる。 The hexagonal boron nitride powder may have an absolute value of the amount of charge of less than 2 nc/g. If the amount of charge of the hexagonal boron nitride powder becomes too large, the cosmetic may have a rough feel when used as a raw material for cosmetics. This is considered to be due to excessive aggregation of the hexagonal boron nitride powder. When the absolute value of the charge amount is less than 2 nc/g, the roughness can be sufficiently reduced.

上記六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末は、 JIS R 9301-2-2:1999に基づいて測定される安息角が40°以上、且つ60°未満であってよい。これによって、一層ふわふわとした触感を得ることが可能となり、化粧料の原料として一層好適となる。 The hexagonal boron nitride powder may have an angle of repose of 40° or more and less than 60° as measured based on JIS R 9301-2-2:1999. This makes it possible to obtain a softer texture, making it more suitable as a raw material for cosmetics.

上記六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末は、化粧料の原料用であってよい。上記六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末は、帯電して凝集するため、化粧料の原料として用いることによって、化粧料の触感を向上することができる。 The hexagonal boron nitride powder may be used as a raw material for cosmetics. Since the hexagonal boron nitride powder is electrically charged and aggregates, the tactile feel of the cosmetic can be improved by using it as a raw material for cosmetics.

本開示の一側面に係る六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の製造方法は、ホウ素を含む化合物の粉末と窒素を含む化合物の粉末を含有する原料粉末を、不活性ガス、アンモニアガス又はこれらの混合ガスの雰囲気中、600~1300℃で焼成して、六方晶窒化ホウ素を含む仮焼物を得る仮焼工程と、仮焼物と助剤とを含む混合粉末を、不活性ガス、アンモニアガス又はこれらの混合ガスの雰囲気中、1600~1750℃の温度範囲への加熱と100℃以下の温度範囲への冷却を複数回繰り返し行って、結晶化度が1.1~1.6である焼成物を得る焼成工程と、を有する。 A method for producing hexagonal boron nitride powder according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes raw material powder containing a boron-containing compound powder and a nitrogen-containing compound powder in an atmosphere of an inert gas, ammonia gas, or a mixed gas thereof. A calcination step in which a calcined product containing hexagonal boron nitride is obtained by firing at a temperature of 600 to 1300°C; A firing step in which heating to a temperature range of 1600 to 1750°C and cooling to a temperature range of 100°C or less are repeated multiple times in an atmosphere to obtain a fired product having a crystallinity of 1.1 to 1.6. , has.

上記製造方法は、焼成工程よりも低い温度で焼成する仮焼工程を有することによって、粒径が小さく結晶性の低い六方晶窒化ホウ素を形成することができる。焼成工程では、所定の雰囲気下、助剤を用いて1600~1750℃への温度範囲への加熱と100℃以下の温度範囲への冷却を複数回行い、焼成物の結晶化度を1.1~1.6としている。これによって、六方晶窒化ホウ素の結晶化を十分に進行させつつ、六方晶窒化ホウ素の一次粒子の表面における水酸基等の官能基が十分に維持された焼成物を得ることができる。このような焼成物を用いることによって、帯電し易い六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を得ることができる。このような六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末は、静電気によって帯電して凝集するため、ふわふわ感を有する。このため、優れた触感を有する。このような六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を化粧料の原料として用いれば、触感に優れる化粧料を得ることができる。 The above manufacturing method includes a calcination step in which firing is performed at a lower temperature than the calcination step, thereby making it possible to form hexagonal boron nitride with a small particle size and low crystallinity. In the firing process, heating to a temperature range of 1,600 to 1,750°C and cooling to a temperature range of 100°C or less are performed multiple times in a predetermined atmosphere using an auxiliary agent, and the crystallinity of the fired product is reduced to 1.1. ~1.6. As a result, it is possible to obtain a fired product in which functional groups such as hydroxyl groups on the surface of the primary particles of hexagonal boron nitride are sufficiently maintained while crystallization of the hexagonal boron nitride is sufficiently progressed. By using such a fired product, it is possible to obtain a hexagonal boron nitride powder that is easily charged. Such hexagonal boron nitride powder has a fluffy feel because it is electrostatically charged and aggregates. Therefore, it has an excellent tactile feel. If such hexagonal boron nitride powder is used as a raw material for cosmetics, cosmetics with excellent texture can be obtained.

上記製造方法では、焼成工程で得られる焼成物を粉砕、洗浄及び乾燥し、内径90mm及び高さ120mmであるポリエチレンテレフタレート製の容器に六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を10g収容し、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン製の4枚羽根を有する直径60mmの攪拌翼を用いて、300rpmで5分間攪拌したときの帯電量の絶対値が0.8nc/g以上である六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を得てもよい。上記六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末は、帯電量の絶対値が大きいため、粒子同士又は容器の内壁との摩擦によって発生する静電気によって十分に帯電して凝集する。このような六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を化粧料の原料として用いれば、十分に触感に優れる化粧料を得ることができる。 In the above manufacturing method, the fired product obtained in the firing process is crushed, washed, and dried, and 10 g of hexagonal boron nitride powder is placed in a polyethylene terephthalate container with an inner diameter of 90 mm and a height of 120 mm. A hexagonal boron nitride powder having an absolute value of charge amount of 0.8 nc/g or more when stirred at 300 rpm for 5 minutes using a stirring blade having a diameter of 60 mm and having four blades may be obtained. Since the hexagonal boron nitride powder has a large absolute value of charge, it is sufficiently charged and aggregated by static electricity generated by friction between the particles or the inner wall of the container. If such hexagonal boron nitride powder is used as a raw material for cosmetics, it is possible to obtain cosmetics with sufficiently excellent texture.

本開示の一側面に係る化粧料は、上述の六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を含む。上述の六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末は、粒子同士の摩擦、及び収容容器の内壁との摩擦等によって発生する静電気によって十分に帯電して凝集し、ふわふわ感を有する。したがって、このような六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を含む化粧料は、十分に優れた触感を有する。 A cosmetic according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes the hexagonal boron nitride powder described above. The hexagonal boron nitride powder described above is sufficiently charged and aggregated by static electricity generated by friction between the particles and friction with the inner wall of the storage container, and has a fluffy feel. Therefore, a cosmetic containing such hexagonal boron nitride powder has a sufficiently excellent texture.

本開示の一側面に係る化粧料の製造方法は、上述のいずれかの製造方法で得られる六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を原料として用いて化粧料を製造する。上述の製造方法で得られる六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末は、粒子同士の摩擦、及び収容容器の内壁との摩擦等によって発生する静電気によって帯電して凝集し、ふわふわ感を有する。したがって、このような六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を含む化粧料は優れた触感を有する。 A method for producing a cosmetic according to one aspect of the present disclosure produces a cosmetic using hexagonal boron nitride powder obtained by any of the above-mentioned production methods as a raw material. The hexagonal boron nitride powder obtained by the above-mentioned manufacturing method is charged and aggregated by static electricity generated by friction between particles and friction with the inner wall of the container, and has a fluffy feel. Therefore, cosmetics containing such hexagonal boron nitride powder have an excellent texture.

本開示によれば、触感に優れる六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末及びその製造方法を提供することができる。また、本開示では、上述の六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を用いることによって、触感に優れる化粧料及びその製造方法を提供することができる。 According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a hexagonal boron nitride powder with excellent tactility and a method for producing the same. Further, in the present disclosure, by using the above-described hexagonal boron nitride powder, it is possible to provide a cosmetic with excellent texture and a method for producing the same.

図1は、六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の攪拌条件を説明する図である。FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating stirring conditions for hexagonal boron nitride powder. 図2は、六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の攪拌に用いる攪拌翼の下面図である。FIG. 2 is a bottom view of a stirring blade used for stirring hexagonal boron nitride powder.

以下、本開示の実施形態を説明する。ただし、以下の実施形態は、本開示を説明するための例示であり、本開示を以下の内容に限定する趣旨ではない。 Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below. However, the following embodiments are examples for explaining the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure to the following contents.

本実施形態の六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末は、図1に示す攪拌装置を用いて、300rpmで5分間攪拌したときの帯電量の絶対値が0.8nc/g以上である。これによって、粒子同士又は容器の内壁との摩擦によって発生する静電気で帯電し凝集する。したがって、ふわふわ感を有する。同様の観点から、上記帯電量の絶対値は、0.9nc/g以上であってよく、1.0nc/g以上であってもよい。 The hexagonal boron nitride powder of this embodiment has an absolute value of charge amount of 0.8 nc/g or more when stirred at 300 rpm for 5 minutes using the stirring device shown in FIG. As a result, the particles are charged with static electricity generated by friction with each other or with the inner wall of the container, and coagulate. Therefore, it has a fluffy feel. From the same viewpoint, the absolute value of the amount of charge may be 0.9 nc/g or more, or 1.0 nc/g or more.

上記帯電量は、六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の過度な凝集を抑制し、化粧料の原料として用いたときにざらざら感が生じることを抑制する観点から、2nc/g未満であってよく、1.5nc/g未満であってもよい。 The above-mentioned charge amount may be less than 2 nc/g, and may be less than 1.5 nc/g, from the viewpoint of suppressing excessive aggregation of the hexagonal boron nitride powder and suppressing the occurrence of a rough feeling when used as a raw material for cosmetics. It may be less than /g.

図1の攪拌装置100は、円筒部とその一端側を覆う底部とを有する有底円筒状のポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)製の容器10と、シャフト22及びその先端に取り付けられた攪拌翼24を有する攪拌機20と、シャフト22の上端側に回転モータ(不図示)と、を備える。回転モータは、例えばスリーワンモータであってよい。容器10の内径Dは90mmであり、高さHは120mmである。容器10の底部に10gの六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末30が収容され層状に堆積している。攪拌機20の一部は、シャフト22の長手方向が円筒部の中心軸方向に沿うようにして容器10の内部に挿入されている。攪拌翼24の下端と容器10の底面との間隔hは5mmである。 The stirring device 100 in FIG. 1 includes a bottomed cylindrical polyethylene terephthalate (PET) container 10 having a cylindrical portion and a bottom portion covering one end thereof, a shaft 22, and a stirring blade 24 attached to the tip thereof. A stirrer 20 and a rotation motor (not shown) are provided on the upper end side of the shaft 22. The rotary motor may be, for example, a three-one motor. The inner diameter D of the container 10 is 90 mm, and the height H is 120 mm. At the bottom of the container 10, 10 g of hexagonal boron nitride powder 30 is stored and deposited in a layered manner. A portion of the stirrer 20 is inserted into the container 10 so that the longitudinal direction of the shaft 22 is along the central axis direction of the cylindrical portion. The distance h between the lower end of the stirring blade 24 and the bottom surface of the container 10 is 5 mm.

図2は、攪拌翼24の下面図である。シャフトの下端に取り付けられた攪拌翼24は、容器10の円筒部に向かって放射状に拡がるポリテトラフルオロエチレン(PTFE)製の4つの羽根26(4枚羽根)を有する。攪拌翼24の直径dは、60mmである。したがって、4つの羽根26の各先端と容器10との間隔は15mmである。 FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the stirring blade 24. The stirring blade 24 attached to the lower end of the shaft has four blades 26 (four blades) made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) that radiate toward the cylindrical portion of the container 10. The diameter d of the stirring blade 24 is 60 mm. Therefore, the distance between each tip of the four blades 26 and the container 10 is 15 mm.

図1に示すように、攪拌翼24を六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末30内に配置した状態で攪拌機20を起動し、300rpmの回転数で5分間攪拌する。攪拌後、帯電量を、ファラデーケージを備える市販の粉体摩擦帯電量測定装置を用いて測定する。そのような測定装置としては、例えば、株式会社ナノシーズ製のNS-K100(製品名)が挙げられる。帯電量の正負及び大きさは、六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の表面状態に依存すると考えられる。例えば、水酸基等の官能基が多くなると、帯電し易くなると考えられる。帯電量は、六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を製造する際の焼成条件を変えることによって調整することができる。 As shown in FIG. 1, the stirrer 20 is started with the stirring blade 24 disposed inside the hexagonal boron nitride powder 30, and the mixture is stirred at a rotation speed of 300 rpm for 5 minutes. After stirring, the amount of charge is measured using a commercially available powder friction charge amount measuring device equipped with a Faraday cage. An example of such a measuring device is NS-K100 (product name) manufactured by Nano Seeds Co., Ltd. It is thought that the sign and magnitude of the charge amount depend on the surface condition of the hexagonal boron nitride powder. For example, it is thought that as the number of functional groups such as hydroxyl groups increases, it becomes easier to be charged. The amount of charge can be adjusted by changing the firing conditions when producing the hexagonal boron nitride powder.

JIS R 9301-2-2:1999に基づいて測定される、六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の安息角は40°以上、且つ60°未満であってよい。このような安息角を有する六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末は、粒子同士が適度に付着することから、一層ふわふわとした触感を得ることが可能となり、化粧料の原料として一層好適となる。 The angle of repose of the hexagonal boron nitride powder, measured based on JIS R 9301-2-2:1999, may be 40° or more and less than 60°. Since the particles of hexagonal boron nitride powder having such an angle of repose adhere to each other appropriately, it is possible to obtain a fluffier texture, making it more suitable as a raw material for cosmetics.

本実施形態に係る六方晶窒化ホウ素は、凝集し易いため、ふわふわ感を有する。このため、化粧品の原料として好適に用いることができる。六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を含む化粧料は、触感に優れる。すなわち、本開示は、六方晶窒化ホウ素を化粧料の原料として使用する使用方法も提供することができる。 The hexagonal boron nitride according to the present embodiment tends to aggregate, so it has a fluffy feel. Therefore, it can be suitably used as a raw material for cosmetics. Cosmetics containing hexagonal boron nitride powder have excellent texture. That is, the present disclosure can also provide a method of using hexagonal boron nitride as a raw material for cosmetics.

一実施形態に係る化粧料は、上述の六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を含有する。この六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末は、静電気で帯電して凝集し、ふわふわ感を有する。このため、六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を含む化粧料は触感に優れる。 A cosmetic according to one embodiment contains the above-described hexagonal boron nitride powder. This hexagonal boron nitride powder is electrostatically charged and aggregates, giving it a fluffy feel. Therefore, cosmetics containing hexagonal boron nitride powder have excellent texture.

Among these, hexagonal boron nitride powder is particularly well suited for foundations and eye shadows. The content of hexagonal boron nitride powder in the cosmetic is, for example, 0.1 to 70% by mass. Cosmetics can be manufactured by known methods. A method for producing cosmetics includes, for example, a step of blending and mixing hexagonal boron nitride powder and other raw materials.

ホウ素を含む化合物としては、ホウ酸、酸化ホウ素及びホウ砂等が挙げられる。窒素を含む化合物としては、シアンジアミド、メラミン、及び尿素が挙げられる。ホウ素を含む化合物の粉末と窒素を含む化合物の粉末を含有する原料粉末におけるホウ素原子と窒素原子のモル比は、ホウ素原子:窒素原子=2:8~8:2であってよく、3:7~7:3であってもよい。原料粉末は、上記化合物以外の成分を含んでもよい。例えば、助剤として炭酸リチウム及び炭酸ナトリウムなどの炭酸塩を含んでよい。また、炭素等の還元性物質を含んでよい。 Examples of compounds containing boron include boric acid, boron oxide, and borax. Compounds containing nitrogen include dicyandiamide , melamine, and urea. The molar ratio of boron atoms to nitrogen atoms in the raw material powder containing powder of a boron-containing compound and powder of a compound containing nitrogen may be boron atoms:nitrogen atoms=2:8 to 8:2, and 3:7. The ratio may be 7:3. The raw material powder may contain components other than the above-mentioned compounds. For example, carbonates such as lithium carbonate and sodium carbonate may be included as auxiliaries. Further, it may contain a reducing substance such as carbon.

上述の成分を含有する原料粉末を、例えば電気炉を用いて、窒素ガス、ヘリウムガス、又はアルゴンガス等の不活性雰囲気中、アンモニア雰囲気中、或いはこれらを混合した混合ガス雰囲気中で仮焼する。仮焼温度は、600~1300℃であってよく、800~1200℃であってよく、900~1100℃であってもよい。仮焼時間は、例えば0.5~5時間であってよく、1~4時間であってもよい。 The raw material powder containing the above-mentioned components is calcined in an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen gas, helium gas, or argon gas, an ammonia atmosphere, or a mixed gas atmosphere of these by using, for example, an electric furnace. . The calcination temperature may be 600 to 1300°C, 800 to 1200°C, or 900 to 1100°C. The calcination time may be, for example, 0.5 to 5 hours, or 1 to 4 hours.

仮焼によって得られる仮焼物は、低結晶性の六方晶窒化ホウ素、及び非晶質の六方晶窒化ホウ素からなる群より選ばれる少なくとも一方を含む。仮焼工程は、後述の焼成工程よりも低温で窒化ホウ素の反応を進行させる。このため、粒成長を抑制し、最終的に得られる窒化ホウ素粉末の粒径を小さくすることができる。また、六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の比表面積を大きくすることができる。 The calcined material obtained by calcining contains at least one selected from the group consisting of low-crystalline hexagonal boron nitride and amorphous hexagonal boron nitride. In the calcination step, the reaction of boron nitride proceeds at a lower temperature than in the calcination step described below. Therefore, grain growth can be suppressed and the particle size of the ultimately obtained boron nitride powder can be reduced. Further, the specific surface area of the hexagonal boron nitride powder can be increased.

次に、得られた仮焼物と助剤とを配合して混合し、混合粉末を得る。助剤としては、ホウ酸ナトリウム等のホウ酸塩、並びに、炭酸ナトリウム、炭酸カルシウム及び炭酸リチウム等の炭酸塩が挙げられる。六方晶窒化ホウ素を含む仮焼物100質量部に対する、助剤の配合量は2~20質量部であってよく、2~8質量部であってもよい。このような混合粉末を、例えば電気炉中、窒素ガス、ヘリウムガス、又はアルゴンガス等の不活性雰囲気中、アンモニア雰囲気中、或いはこれらを含む混合ガス雰囲気中で焼成する。 Next, the obtained calcined product and an auxiliary agent are blended and mixed to obtain a mixed powder. Auxiliary agents include borates such as sodium borate, and carbonates such as sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate, and lithium carbonate. The blending amount of the auxiliary agent may be 2 to 20 parts by mass, or 2 to 8 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the calcined material containing hexagonal boron nitride. Such a mixed powder is fired, for example, in an electric furnace, in an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen gas, helium gas, or argon gas, in an ammonia atmosphere, or in a mixed gas atmosphere containing these.

焼成工程では、助剤の存在下、窒化ホウ素の生成及び結晶化が進行する。これによって、仮焼物に含まれる窒化ホウ素の結晶性を高めることができる。温度範囲1は、1600~1750℃であり、1650~1700℃であってもよい。温度範囲2は、0~100℃であってよく、30~100℃であってもよい。温度範囲1への加熱と温度範囲2への冷却を例えば複数回行い、黒鉛化指数(GI)が1.1~1.6の焼成物を得る。このような焼成物では六方晶窒化ホウ素の結晶化が十分に進行している。また、加熱と冷却を繰り返し行っていることから、六方晶窒化ホウ素の一次粒子の表面において極性を有する水酸基等の官能基を十分に維持することができる。これによって、静電気で帯電し易い六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を得ることができる。黒鉛化指数は、1.1~1.5であってよく、1.2~1.4であってよい。 In the firing step, the production and crystallization of boron nitride progress in the presence of an auxiliary agent. Thereby, the crystallinity of boron nitride contained in the calcined product can be improved. Temperature range 1 is 1600-1750°C, and may be 1650-1700°C. Temperature range 2 may be from 0 to 100°C, or may be from 30 to 100°C. Heating to temperature range 1 and cooling to temperature range 2 are performed, for example, multiple times to obtain a fired product with a graphitization index (GI) of 1.1 to 1.6. In such a fired product, the crystallization of hexagonal boron nitride has progressed sufficiently. Furthermore, since heating and cooling are repeated, it is possible to sufficiently maintain polar functional groups such as hydroxyl groups on the surface of the primary particles of hexagonal boron nitride. This makes it possible to obtain hexagonal boron nitride powder that is easily electrostatically charged. The graphitization index may be between 1.1 and 1.5, and between 1.2 and 1.4.

温度範囲1への加熱と温度範囲2への冷却を繰り返す回数は2回以上であってもよいし、2回~5回であってもよい。温度範囲1への加熱と温度範囲2への冷却を1サイクルとしたとき、1サイクルに所要する時間は、2~6時間であってもよい。 The number of times heating to temperature range 1 and cooling to temperature range 2 may be repeated may be two or more times, or may be from two to five times. When one cycle includes heating to temperature range 1 and cooling to temperature range 2, the time required for one cycle may be 2 to 6 hours.

温度範囲1が低くなり過ぎると、結晶化が十分に進行せず、黒鉛化指数(GI)が1.1~1.6の焼成物が得られ難くなる。このため、六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の本来の性能が損なわれる場合がある。一方、温度範囲1が高くなり過ぎると、六方晶窒化ホウ素の一次粒子の表面において極性を有する水酸基等の官能基が消失し、帯電し難くなる。繰り返し数(サイクル数)が多くなり過ぎたときも同様の傾向にある。 If the temperature range 1 becomes too low, crystallization will not proceed sufficiently and it will be difficult to obtain a fired product with a graphitization index (GI) of 1.1 to 1.6. Therefore, the original performance of the hexagonal boron nitride powder may be impaired. On the other hand, if the temperature range 1 becomes too high, functional groups such as polar hydroxyl groups disappear on the surface of the primary particles of hexagonal boron nitride, making it difficult to charge them. A similar tendency occurs when the number of repetitions (number of cycles) becomes too large.

黒鉛化指数(GI)は、粉末X線回折法を利用し、黒鉛と同様の方法で、その黒鉛化指数を算出することができる。即ち、黒鉛化指数は、X線回折スペクトルの(100)面に由来するピークの面積S、(101)面に由来するピークの面積S、及び(102)面に由来するピークの面積Sの各値を、(式1)に代入することによって算出することができることが知られている(J.Thomas,et.al,J.Am.Chem.Soc.84,4619(1962))。これを六方晶窒化ホウ素に適用したものである。
黒鉛化指数=(S+S)/S (1)
The graphitization index (GI) can be calculated using a powder X-ray diffraction method in the same manner as for graphite. That is, the graphitization index is determined by the area S 1 of the peak originating from the (100) plane in the X-ray diffraction spectrum, the area S 2 of the peak originating from the (101) plane, and the area S of the peak originating from the (102) plane. It is known that each value of 3 can be calculated by substituting (Equation 1) (J. Thomas, et. al, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 84, 4619 (1962)). This is applied to hexagonal boron nitride.
Graphitization index = (S 1 + S 2 )/S 3 (1)

式(1)におけるSは、六方晶窒化ホウ素の(100)面のX線回折スペクトルに相当するピークの面積(積分強度比)であり、具体的には2θ=40度以上且つ42.5度以下のピークの面積である。同様にSは六方晶窒化ホウ素の(101)面のX線回折スペクトルに相当するピークの面積(積分強度比)であり、具体的には2θ=43度以上且つ45度以下のピークの面積である。Sは六方晶窒化ホウ素の(102)面のX線回折スペクトルに相当するピークの面積(積分強度比)であり、具体的には2θ=48度以上且つ52度以下のピークの面積である。なお、各ピークの面積を求めるにあたり、2θ=38度と54度における高さを直線で結んでベースラインを作成し、このベースラインを基準として各ピーク面積が算出される。 S1 in formula (1) is the area (integrated intensity ratio) of the peak corresponding to the X-ray diffraction spectrum of the (100) plane of hexagonal boron nitride, and specifically, 2θ = 40 degrees or more and 42.5 This is the area of the peak below the degree. Similarly, S2 is the area (integrated intensity ratio) of the peak corresponding to the X-ray diffraction spectrum of the (101) plane of hexagonal boron nitride, specifically the area of the peak at 2θ = 43 degrees or more and 45 degrees or less It is. S3 is the area (integrated intensity ratio) of the peak corresponding to the X-ray diffraction spectrum of the (102) plane of hexagonal boron nitride, specifically the area of the peak at 2θ = 48 degrees or more and 52 degrees or less . In calculating the area of each peak, a baseline is created by connecting the heights at 2θ=38 degrees and 54 degrees with a straight line, and each peak area is calculated using this baseline as a reference.

黒鉛化指数は六方晶窒化ホウ素の結晶性の指標となり、高結晶性でかつ粒子が十分に成長した場合には、粒子が配向しやすくなるため、六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の黒鉛化指数は小さくなる傾向がある。 The graphitization index is an indicator of the crystallinity of hexagonal boron nitride. If the crystallinity is high and the particles have grown sufficiently, the particles will be easily oriented, so the graphitization index of hexagonal boron nitride powder will be small. Tend.

焼成工程で得られた焼成物は、凝集物を維持できるのであれば通常の粉砕装置で粉砕してよい。粉砕した粉砕粉の中には、六方晶窒化ホウ素以外に不純物が含まれる場合がある。不純物としては、残存する助剤、及び水溶性ホウ素化合物等が挙げられる。精製工程では、このような不純物を、洗浄によって低減する。洗浄後、固液分離して乾燥し、乾燥粉末を得る。洗浄に用いる洗浄液としては、水、酸性物質を含む水溶液、有機溶媒、有機溶媒と水との混合液等が挙げられる。不純物の二次的な混入を避ける観点から、電気伝導度が1mS/m以下の水を使用してよい。酸性物質としては、例えば塩酸、硝酸等の無機酸が挙げられる。有機溶媒としては、例えば、メタノール、エタノール、プロパノール、イソプロピルアルコール及びアセトン等の水溶性の有機溶媒が挙げられる。洗浄方法に特に制限はなく、例えば、粉砕粉を洗浄液中に浸漬し攪拌して洗浄してよく、粉砕粉に洗浄液をスプレーして洗浄してもよい。 The fired product obtained in the firing step may be pulverized using a conventional pulverizer as long as the agglomerates can be maintained. The pulverized powder may contain impurities other than hexagonal boron nitride. Examples of impurities include remaining auxiliary agents and water-soluble boron compounds. In the purification process, such impurities are reduced by washing. After washing, solid-liquid separation is performed and dried to obtain a dry powder. Examples of the cleaning liquid used for cleaning include water, an aqueous solution containing an acidic substance, an organic solvent, and a mixed solution of an organic solvent and water. From the viewpoint of avoiding secondary contamination of impurities, water having an electrical conductivity of 1 mS/m or less may be used. Examples of acidic substances include inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. Examples of the organic solvent include water-soluble organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropyl alcohol, and acetone. There are no particular restrictions on the cleaning method, and for example, the pulverized powder may be immersed in a cleaning liquid and washed by stirring, or the pulverized powder may be cleaned by spraying the cleaning liquid onto the pulverized powder.

洗浄終了後、デカンテーション、吸引ろ過機、加圧ろ過機、回転式ろ過機、沈降分離機又はこれらを組み合わせた装置を用いて洗浄液を固液分離してよい。分離した固形分を通常の乾燥機で乾燥して乾燥粉末を得てもよい。乾燥機は、例えば、棚式乾燥機、流動層乾燥機、噴霧乾燥機、回転型乾燥機、ベルト式乾燥機、及びこれらの組み合わせが挙げられる。乾燥後に、粗大粒子を除去するために、例えば篩による分級を行ってもよい。 After the washing is completed, the washing liquid may be separated into solid and liquid using decantation, a suction filter, a pressure filter, a rotary filter, a sedimentation separator, or a combination thereof. The separated solids may be dried in a conventional dryer to obtain a dry powder. Dryers include, for example, tray dryers, fluidized bed dryers, spray dryers, rotary dryers, belt dryers, and combinations thereof. After drying, classification using a sieve may be performed, for example, in order to remove coarse particles.

このようにして、上述の六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を得ることができる。ただし、精製工程を行うことは必ずしも必須ではない。上記製造方法で得られる六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末は、図1及び図2に示す攪拌装置を用いて、300rpmで5分間攪拌したときの帯電量の絶対値が0.8nc/g以上である。上記帯電量の絶対値は、0.9nc/g以上であってよく、1.0nc/g以上であってもよい。上記帯電量は、過度な凝集を抑制する観点から、2nc/g未満であってよく、1.5nc/g未満であってもよい。 In this way, the above-mentioned hexagonal boron nitride powder can be obtained. However, it is not always essential to perform a purification step. The hexagonal boron nitride powder obtained by the above manufacturing method has an absolute value of charge amount of 0.8 nc/g or more when stirred at 300 rpm for 5 minutes using the stirring device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The absolute value of the amount of charge may be 0.9 nc/g or more, or 1.0 nc/g or more. The above-mentioned charge amount may be less than 2 nc/g, and may be less than 1.5 nc/g, from the viewpoint of suppressing excessive aggregation.

上述の六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の実施形態に係る説明は、六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の製造方法の実施形態に係る説明にも適用することができる。六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の製造方法は、上述の実施形態に限定されない。例えば、焼成工程の後に、超音波振動を与えるホモジナイザー等を用いて、六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を解砕する解砕工程を行ってもよい。 The description of the embodiment of the hexagonal boron nitride powder described above can also be applied to the description of the embodiment of the method for producing hexagonal boron nitride powder. The method for producing hexagonal boron nitride powder is not limited to the embodiments described above.

The mixture was mixed for 10 minutes using a mortar to obtain a mixed raw material. The mixed raw material after drying was placed in a container made of hexagonal boron nitride and placed in an electric furnace. While flowing nitrogen gas into the electric furnace, the temperature was raised from room temperature to 1000°C at a rate of 10°C/min. After holding at 1000°C for 2 hours, heating was stopped and the mixture was allowed to cool naturally. The electric furnace was opened when the temperature became 100°C or lower.

After stirring, solid-liquid separation was performed by suction filtration, and water (electrical conductivity: 1 mS/m) was replaced and washed until the filtrate became neutral. After washing, it was dried at 120° C. for 24 hours using a drier to obtain a dry powder. This was used as the hexagonal boron nitride powder of Example 1.

[六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の評価]
<帯電減衰性の評価>
実施例1で作製した六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の帯電量を、粉体摩擦帯電量測定装置(株式会社ナノシーズ製、製品名:NS-K100)を用いて測定した。具体的には、内径90mm、及び、高さ120mmのPET製の容器に10gの六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末を入れた。六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の層の内部にPEFE製の攪拌羽根を配置し、図1に示す状態とした(h=5mm)。そして、300rpmの回転数で5分間攪拌した。攪拌機としては、HEDON スリーワンモータの汎用攪拌機を用いた。この攪拌機のシャフトに、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン製の4枚羽根を有する1段の攪拌翼((株)サンプラテック製の「PTFE4枚羽根スクリュー攪拌棒」、型番:23707、ロッド径:9.5mm、長さ:650mm、回転羽根径(直径d):60mm)を取り付けて攪拌した。攪拌直後の六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の帯電量を上述の粉体摩擦帯電量測定装置を用いて測定した。帯電量の測定結果は表1のとおりであった。
[Evaluation of hexagonal boron nitride powder]
<Evaluation of charge attenuation>
The amount of charge of the hexagonal boron nitride powder produced in Example 1 was measured using a powder friction charge measuring device (manufactured by Nano Seeds Co., Ltd., product name: NS-K100). Specifically, 10 g of hexagonal boron nitride powder was placed in a PET container with an inner diameter of 90 mm and a height of 120 mm. A stirring blade made of PEFE was placed inside the layer of hexagonal boron nitride powder to create the state shown in FIG. 1 (h=5 mm). Then, the mixture was stirred for 5 minutes at a rotation speed of 300 rpm. As the stirrer, a HEDON three-one motor general-purpose stirrer was used. The shaft of this stirrer is equipped with a one-stage stirring blade having four blades made of polytetrafluoroethylene ("PTFE 4-blade screw stirring rod" manufactured by Sunplatec Co., Ltd., model number: 23707, rod diameter: 9.5 mm, length). A rotary blade diameter (diameter d): 650 mm and a rotating blade diameter (diameter d) of 60 mm were attached for stirring. Immediately after stirring, the amount of charge on the hexagonal boron nitride powder was measured using the above-mentioned powder friction charge amount measuring device. The measurement results of the amount of charge were as shown in Table 1.

<触感の評価>
実施例1で作製した六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の安息角を、JIS R 9301-2-2:1999に基づいて測定した。その結果は表1に示すとおりであった。安息角が大きすぎると粒子同士の付着が強すぎて伸びづらい触感になる。安息角が62°である実施例3は、実施例1や実施例2ほどのふわふわ感は無いが、「やや付着が強い」程度であり、良好な触感を有していた。一方、安息角が小さすぎると粒子同士の付着が弱く「さらさら」の触感であった。中間の安息角であれば、粒子同士が適度に付着して「ふわふわ」の触感であった。表1には、表2の評価基準に基づく触感の評価結果を示した。
<Tactile evaluation>
The angle of repose of the hexagonal boron nitride powder produced in Example 1 was measured based on JIS R 9301-2-2:1999. The results were as shown in Table 1. If the angle of repose is too large, the adhesion between particles will be too strong, resulting in a texture that is difficult to stretch. Example 3, in which the angle of repose was 62°, did not have the same fluffy feel as Examples 1 and 2, but had a "slightly strong adhesion" and had a good tactile feel. On the other hand, when the angle of repose was too small, the adhesion of particles to each other was weak, resulting in a "smooth" feel. At an intermediate angle of repose, the particles adhered to each other moderately, giving a "fluffy" feel. Table 1 shows the tactile evaluation results based on the evaluation criteria in Table 2.

(実施例2)
実施例1と同様にして仮焼物を得た。次に以下の焼成工程を行った。仮焼物100.0gに、炭酸ナトリウム(純度99.5質量%以上)を3.0g添加し、アルミナ製乳鉢を用いて10分間混合した。混合物を、上述の電気炉内に配置した。電気炉内に窒素ガスを流通させながら、室温から1700℃に昇温した。1700℃の加熱温度で6時間保持した後、加熱を止めて室温まで自然冷却した。その後、1700℃に再び昇温し、1700℃で6時間保持した後、加熱を止めて25℃まで自然冷却した。得られた焼成物を回収し、アルミナ製乳鉢で3分間粉砕して、六方晶窒化ホウ素の粗粉を得た。その後、実施例1と同様にして、黒鉛化指数の測定、精製工程及び六方晶窒化ホウ素粉末の評価を行った。評価結果は表1に示すとおりであった。

The mixture was placed in the electric furnace described above. While flowing nitrogen gas into the electric furnace, the temperature was raised from room temperature to 1700°C. After maintaining the heating temperature at 1700° C. for 6 hours, heating was stopped and the mixture was naturally cooled to room temperature. Thereafter, the temperature was raised again to 1700°C and held at 1700°C for 6 hours, then heating was stopped and the mixture was naturally cooled to 25°C. The obtained fired product was collected and ground in an alumina mortar for 3 minutes to obtain a coarse powder of hexagonal boron nitride. Thereafter, in the same manner as in Example 1, the graphitization index was measured, the purification process, and the hexagonal boron nitride powder was evaluated. The evaluation results were as shown in Table 1.
