Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photocatalytic hydrophilic composition which can evenly be applied even to the surface of a synthetic resin product without shrinking. SOLUTION: This photocatalytic hydrophilic composition solution is produced by measuring, for example, 1 wt.% of silica sol (Snowtex 40 made by Nissan Chemical Industries, Ltd.), 0.0002 mole of AlCl3 .6H2 O per 100 ml aqueous solution, and 10 wt.% of anatase type titania and then the dispersing them in water. A coating of the produced photocatalytic hydrophilic composition solution is formed by applying the composition solution to a synthetic resin product by dipping the product in the composition solution and drying the solution.

2. Description of the Related Art Many synthetic resins such as polyethylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, cellulose acetate, and polypropylene have a relatively small surface energy and exhibit hydrophobicity. For this reason, dew condensation and fogging occur on the surface. For this reason, physical means for imparting hydrophilicity by performing corona discharge treatment on the surface of the synthetic resin has been attempted, but satisfactory hydrophilicity has not been obtained.

[0004] As described above, a surfactant is always added to a conventional hydrophilic aqueous liquid. The addition of the surfactant lowers the surface tension of the hydrophilic aqueous liquid, so that it is less likely to be repelled when applied to the surface of a resin product. However, a film formed of a hydrophilic aqueous liquid to which a surfactant is added exhibits hydrophilicity when contacted with water, but forms small water droplets when contacted with water vapor.

Secondly, since hydrophilicity is not exhibited unless the aqueous liquid is applied with a thickness of several tens of μm or more, if the aqueous liquid is applied with the thickness, white turbidity due to irregular reflection of light or color formation due to interference of light occurs. Third, even if a conventional aqueous liquid is applied and dried to impart hydrophilicity to the surface of the synthetic resin, it is difficult to maintain the hydrophilicity for a long time. Once the hydrophilicity is lost, unless it is applied again, Hydrophilicity is not restored.

The hydrophilization phenomenon according to the present invention is brought about by the following mechanism. That is, when light having energy equal to or greater than the energy gap between the upper end of the valence band and the lower end of the conduction band of the photocatalyst is irradiated on the photocatalyst, the electrons in the valence band of the photocatalyst are excited to generate conduction electrons and holes. I do. As a result, the surface is given a polarity (probably an electron-withdrawing property). As a result, an amount of water equal to or more than the equilibrium with the atmosphere is chemically adsorbed on the surface. Then, the surface free energy based on hydrogen bonding of the surface increases, and the amount of water molecules according to the increase in the surface free energy further physically adsorbs,
Fixed to the surface. By the way, substances having similar surface free energies are likely to adhere to each other, so that the surface on which water molecules are physically adsorbed is easily adapted to water. That is,
Such a surface will be hydrophilized.

Thus, it is considered that the hydrophilicity according to the present invention is due to the hydrophilizing action of the photocatalyst, rather than to the aqueous solution containing colloidal silica and the water-soluble aluminum salt. This means that in order to exhibit hydrophilicity with an aqueous liquid containing colloidal silica and colloidal silica and a water-soluble aluminum salt, it had to be applied with a thickness of several tens of μm or more. 0.4
It can be confirmed from the fact that the particles exhibit hydrophilicity even at μm or less.
Here, by setting the thickness to 0.4 μm or less, it is possible to prevent white turbidity due to irregular reflection of light, and by setting the thickness to 0.2 μm or less, it is possible to prevent surface phase coloring due to light interference. Can be.

0.0002 mol of H 2 O and 100% by weight of anatase titania were weighed per 100 ml of the aqueous liquid, and these were dispersed in water to prepare a photocatalytic hydrophilic composition liquid (A). In the same manner, a photocatalytic hydrophilic composition liquid (B) in which rutile-type titania was dispersed instead of anatase-type titania and a photocatalytic hydrophilic composition liquid (C) in which brookite-type titania were dispersed were prepared. A synthetic resin product was immersed and applied to these photocatalytic hydrophilic composition liquids (A to C) and then dried to form a film, and then irradiated with ultraviolet rays. As a result, the hydrophilicity of the surface of the synthetic resin product was almost 0 ° in terms of the contact angle with water. Further, after being left in a dark place for a while, irradiation with ultraviolet light again returned the contact angle with water to 0 °.

Since these photocatalytic hydrophilic composition liquids have a large surface tension of 70 dynes, the synthetic resin product is immersed and applied in the above composition liquid without spray coating, and then dried to form a coating, Was irradiated. As a result, the hydrophilicity of the surface of the synthetic resin product was almost 0 ° in terms of the contact angle with water.
Further, after being left in a dark place for a while, irradiation with ultraviolet light again returned the contact angle with water to 0 °.

Comparative Example 5 A composition solution was prepared by removing crystalline titania from Example 5 described above. A synthetic resin product was immersed in the composition solution, applied, and then dried to form a film. As a result, the hydrophilicity of the surface of the synthetic resin product was about 10 ° in terms of the contact angle with water. When the product was left for one month, the contact angle with water became about 50 °. Irradiation with ultraviolet light did not change the contact angle with water.

As described above, according to the present invention, a photocatalytic hydrophilic composition is constituted by dispersing photocatalytic metal oxide particles, colloidal silica, and a water-soluble aluminum salt in water. Within a short time, photocatalytic metal oxide particles and colloidal silica can be deposited on the surface of an object to be coated such as a synthetic resin product, and a uniform and thin photocatalytic hydrophilic coating can be formed. The photocatalytic hydrophilic coating can maintain a highly hydrophilic surface for a long period of time and can reduce the thickness of the coating, so that there is no problem such as cloudiness or coloring. Furthermore, since it is an aqueous composition, it has no solvent odor and is excellent in handleability.
