- Examples 1 to 12 had a low dielectric constant at 1 GHz
- Example 14 had a high dielectric constant at 1 GHz, and the desired effect of the present invention could not be obtained. This is probably because the presence of spaces inside the silica particles of Examples 1 to 12 lowered the relative permittivity by the air content.
- Examples 13 and 15 had a large dielectric loss tangent at 1 GHz, and the intended effects of the present invention could not be obtained. This is probably because the hollow silica of Example 13 has a large value of Ar density x BET specific surface area and a large value of Q3/Q4, which tends to increase the number of silanol groups contained in the silica, which deteriorates the dielectric loss tangent. Further, it is considered that the dielectric loss tangent of Example 15 deteriorated because of glass balloons instead of silica, which tended to contain many alkaline components and many silanol groups.

Then, the dimensional change of the sample was measured from 30° C. to 150° C., and the average coefficient of linear expansion (ppm/° C.) was obtained by dividing the dimensional change of the long side by the temperature. Table 2 shows the results.
- Example 14 When solid silica was used as in Example 14, the dielectric constant was high and the peel strength was poor.
- borosilicate glass balloons are used as in Example 15, the dielectric loss tangent is high due to the large amount of surface silanol due to the alkali content contained in the borosilicate glass, and the thermal expansion coefficient of borosilicate glass is higher than that of silica. Therefore, it was found that the average coefficient of linear expansion also increased.

(測定方法)
アルゴンガスを用いた乾式ピクノメーターによる密度測定により求めた粒子の密度をA(g/cm3)として、煮アマニ油6質量部と前記中空シリカ粒子(6×A/2.2)質量部を混合し、2000rpmで3分間混練して得た混練物を、回転式レオメータを用いてせん断速度1s-1で30秒測定し、30秒時点での粘度を求める。

(18)前記(1)~(12)のいずれか1つに記載の中空シリカ粒子を、1~40質量%含むスラリー組成物。
尚、本明細書において、「質量」は「重量」と同義である。
本発明の中空シリカ粒子は、シリカを含むシェル層(固体膜)を備え、シェル層の内部に空間部を有する。中空シリカ粒子がシェル層の内部に空間部を持つことは、透過型電子顕微鏡(TEM)観察や走査型電子顕微鏡(SEM)観察により確認できる。SEM観察の場合は、一部が開口した破損粒子を観察することにより、中空であることが確認できる。TEM観察やSEM観察によって確認できる、内部に空間部を持つ球状の粒子を「一次粒子」と定義する。なお、中空シリカ粒子は、焼成や乾燥の工程によって一次粒子同士が一部結合するため、製造で得られた中空シリカ粒子は一次粒子が凝集した二次粒子の集合体となっていることが多い。
また、「シェル層の内側に空間部を有する」とは、1個の一次粒子の断面を観察した際に、1個の空間部の周囲をシェル層が囲んでいる中空状態を意味する。すなわち中空粒子1個は、大きな空間部を1個とそれを取り囲むシェル層とを有する。
また、中空シリカ粒子を製造する際の、オイルコアを除去する前のろ過後のケーキを用いて、熱処理時の重量変化からも中空粒子率は求められる。ろ過後のケーキをほぐして一晩乾燥すると、破損粒子内のオイル成分は揮発し、完全な中空粒子内のオイル成分は保持される。仕込んだオイル成分が全て揮発した場合(中空粒子率0%)と、全て保持された場合(中空粒子率100%)の熱処理時の重量変化量を原料の仕込み量から計算できるので、ろ過後一晩乾燥した試料を800℃まで熱処理したときの重量変化から中空粒子率が求められる。
真球度は、走査型電子顕微鏡(SEM)により写真撮影して得られる写真投影図における任意の100個の粒子について、それぞれの最大径(DL)と、これと直交する最小径(DS)とを測定し、最大径(DL)に対する最小径(DS)の比(DS/DL)を算出した平均値で表すことができる。
分散性などの観点から、真球度は、0.80以上であることがより好ましく、0.82以上がさらに好ましく、0.83以上がよりさらに好ましく、0.85以上が特に好ましく、0.87以上が殊更に好ましく、0.90以上が最も好ましい。
この一次粒子の大きさは、凝集粒子の粒子表面状態に反映されるため、比表面積および吸油量を決めるパラメータとなる。
平均一次粒子径は、製造再現性の観点から、下限は、70nm以上であることがより好ましく、100nm以上が最も好ましく、また上限は、5μm以下であることがより好ましく、3μm以下が特に好ましい。
メジアン径が0.1μm以上であると、樹脂組成物とした際の粘度上昇や、分散性の悪化を抑制できる。メジアン径(D50)は、0.2μm以上であることがより好ましく、0.25μm以上がさらに好ましく、0.3μm以上が特に好ましい。また、メジアン径が大き過ぎると、樹脂組成物を膜に成型した際、粒立ちの原因となるため、10μmであるのが好ましく、8μm以下がより好ましく、7μm以下がさらに好ましく、5μm以下が特に好ましく、3μm以下が最も好ましい。
シェル厚さは、一次粒子の直径1に対して、0.02以上であることがより好ましく、0.03以上がさらに好ましく、また0.2以下であることがより好ましく、0.1以下がさらに好ましい。
吸油量が多いと樹脂組成物に含有したときに該組成物の粘性が高くなることから、中空シリカ粒子の吸油量は、1000mL/100g以下であることがより好ましく、700mL/100g以下がさらに好ましく、500mL/100g以下が特に好ましく、200mL/100g以下が最も好ましい。また、吸油量が低すぎると粉体と樹脂との密着性が悪化する場合があるため、20mL/100g以上であることがより好ましい。
また、シリカ原料としてアルカリ金属ケイ酸塩を用いる場合は、シリカ原料としてケイ素アルコキシドを用いる場合に比べて、得られる中空シリカ粒子のシェル層に原料由来の炭素(C)成分は少なくなる。
(測定方法)
アルゴンガスを用いた乾式ピクノメーターによる密度測定により求めた粒子の密度をA(g/cm3)として、煮アマニ油6質量部と中空シリカ粒子(6×A/2.2)質量部を混合し、2000rpmで3分間混練して得た混練物を、回転式レオメータを用いてせん断速度1s-1で30秒測定し、30秒時点での粘度を求める。
前記混練物のせん断速度1s-1での粘度は、低いほど樹脂組成物の塗工性が向上し、生産性が向上するため下限値は特に限定されない。
Q1は、Siの周りに酸素を介して1つのSiを有する構造単位のことで、SiO4四面体が他の1つのSiO4四面体と連結していて、固体29Si-DD/MAS-NMRスペクトルにおいて-80ppm付近にピークを有する。
Q2は、Siの周りに酸素を介して2つのSiを有する構造単位のことで、SiO4四面体が他の2つのSiO4四面体と連結していて、固体29Si-DD/MAS-NMRスペクトルにおいて-91ppm付近にピークを有する。
Q3は、Siの周りに酸素を介して3つのSiを有する構造単位のことで、SiO4四面体が他の3つのSiO4四面体と連結していて、固体29Si-DD/MAS-NMRスペクトルにおいて-101ppm付近にピークを有する。
Q4は、Siの周りに酸素を介して4つのSiを有する構造単位のことで、SiO4四面体が他の4つのSiO4四面体と連結していて、固体29Si-DD/MAS-NMRスペクトルにおいて-110ppm付近にピークを有する。
中空シリカ粒子粉末を測定サンプルとする。400MHzの核磁気共鳴装置を用い、直径7.5mmのCP/MAS用プローブを装着し、観測核を29Siとし、DD/MAS法で測定する。測定条件は、29Si共鳴周波数を79.43MHz、29Si90°パルス幅を5μ秒、1H共鳴周波数を399.84MHz、1Hデカップリング周波数を50kHz、MAS回転数を4kHz、スペクトル幅を30.49kHz、測定温度を23℃とする。データ解析は、フーリエ変換後のスペクトルの各ピークについて、ローレンツ波形とガウス波形の混合により作成したピーク形状の中心位置、高さ、半値幅を可変パラメータとして、非線形最小二乗法により最適化計算を行う。Q1、Q2、Q3及びQ4の4つの構造単位を対象とし、得られたQ1の含有率、Q2の含有率、Q3の含有率及びQ4の含有率から、Q3とQ4のモル比率を算出する。
CP/MAS法であると、1Hが近傍に存在するSiを増感して検出するため、得られるピークがQ1の含有率、Q2の含有率、Q3の含有率及びQ4の含有率を正確に反映しない。
一方、DD/MAS法は、CP/MAS法のような増感効果がないため、得られるピークがQ1の含有率、Q2の含有率、Q3の含有率及びQ4の含有率を正確に反映し、定量的な解析に適する。
細孔容積が0.2cm3/gより大きいと、水分を吸着しやすくなり、樹脂組成物の誘電損失が悪化することがある。細孔容積は、0.15cm3/g以下であることがより好ましく、0.1cm3/g以下がさらに好ましく、0.05cm3/g以下が特に好ましい。
中空シリカ粒子の表面がシランカップリング剤によって処理されていることで、表面シラノール基の残存量が少なくなり、表面が疎水化され、水分吸着を抑えて誘電損失を向上できるとともに、樹脂組成物とする際に、樹脂との親和性が向上し、分散性や、樹脂製膜後の強度が向上する。
1GHzでの比誘電率は、下限が1.3以上であることが好ましく、1.4以上がより好ましい。また上限は4.5以下であることがより好ましく、4.0以下がさらに好ましく、3.5以下が特に好ましく、3.0以下が殊更に好ましく、2.5以下が最も好ましい。
1GHzでの誘電正接は、下限が0.0002以上であることがより好ましく、0.0003以上がさらに好ましい。また上限は0.01以下であることがより好ましく、0.005以下がさらに好ましく、0.003以下がよりさらに好ましく、0.002以下が特に好ましく、0.0015以下が殊更に好ましく、0.0010以下が最も好ましい。

本実施形態に係る樹脂組成物は、本発明の中空シリカ粒子と樹脂とを含む。樹脂組成物中の中空シリカ粒子の含有率は5~70質量%であることが好ましく、10~50質量%がより好ましい。
スラリー組成物中、中空シリカ粒子を、1~40質量%含むことが好ましく、5~40質量%含むことがより好ましい。

以下、水中油型エマルションを単にエマルションとも記す。また、第1のシリカ原料が添加されて生成しかつ第2のシリカ原料が添加される前のオイルコア-シリカシェル粒子が分散した分散液、及び、第2のシリカ原料が添加された後のオイルコア-シリカシェル粒子が分散した分散液も、エマルションと記すことがある。後者の第2のシリカ原料が添加された後のオイルコア-シリカシェル粒子が分散した分散液は中空シリカ前駆体分散液と同等のものであってもよい。
まず、水相、油相、及び界面活性剤を含む水中油型エマルションに第1のシリカ原料を添加し、1段目シェルを形成する。

グリセリン脂肪酸エステル系界面活性剤:ステアリン酸モノグリセライド、オレイン酸モノグリセライド。
さらに、ポリオキシエチレンソルビトール脂肪酸エステル系界面活性剤、ショ糖脂肪酸エステル系界面活性剤、ポリグリセリン脂肪酸エステル系界面活性剤、ポリオキシエチレン硬化ヒマシ油系界面活性剤等を用いてもよい。
これらは単独で、又は2種以上を組み合わせて用いてもよい。
ポリオキシエチレン-ポリオキシプロピレン共重合体の重量平均分子量は、3,000~27,000が好ましく、6,000~19,000がより好ましい。
ポリオキシエチレン-ポリオキシプロピレン共重合体全体に対して、ポリオキシエチレンブロックの合計量は40~90質量%が好ましく、ポリオキシプロピレンブロックの合計量は10~60質量%が好ましい。
また、エージングの温度は、5~80℃が好ましく、20~70℃がより好ましく、20~55℃が最も好ましい。
第1のシリカ原料としては、例えば、水溶性シリカが溶解した水溶液、固体シリカが分散した水性分散液、これらの混合物、ならびに、アルカリ金属ケイ酸塩、活性ケイ酸及びケイ素アルコキシドからなる群から選ばれる1種以上またはそれらの水溶液または水分散液が挙げられる。これらのうちアルカリ金属ケイ酸塩、活性ケイ酸及びケイ素アルコキシドからなる群から選ばれる1種以上またはそれらの水溶液または水分散液が、入手容易性が高い点で好ましい。
アルカリ金属ケイ酸塩のアルカリ金属としては、リチウム、ナトリウム、カリウム、ルビジウム等が挙げられ、中でも入手の容易さ、経済的理由によりナトリウムが好ましい。すなわちアルカリ金属ケイ酸塩としては、ケイ酸ナトリウムが好ましい。ケイ酸ナトリウムは、Na2O・nSiO2・mH2Oで表される組成を有する。ナトリウムとケイ酸の割合は、Na2O/SiO2のモル比nで1.0~4.0が好ましく、さらには2.0~3.5が好ましい。
アルカリ金属ケイ酸塩及び活性ケイ酸は、水に溶解ないし分散させてから、エマルションに添加することが好ましい。アルカリ金属ケイ酸塩及び活性ケイ酸水溶液の濃度は、SiO2濃度として3~30質量%が好ましく、さらには5~25質量%が好ましい。
また、シリカ原料とともに、他の金属酸化物等を混合することで、複合粒子を得ることも可能である。他の金属酸化物としては、二酸化チタン、酸化亜鉛、酸化セリウム、酸化銅、酸化鉄、酸化錫等が挙げられる。
酸としては、例えば、塩酸、硝酸、硫酸、酢酸、過塩素酸、臭化水素酸、トリクロロ酢酸、ジクロロ酢酸、メタンスルホン酸、ベンゼンスルホン酸等が挙げられる。
例えば、第1のシリカ原料を添加したエマルションに塩基を添加することで、エマルションのpHを3以上とする方法がある。
あるいは陰イオン交換処理によりハロゲンイオン等の陰イオンを水酸化物イオンに交換する方法を用いてもよい。
次に、アルカリ金属イオン存在下、エマルションに第2のシリカ原料を添加する。これによって、中空シリカ前駆体分散液が得られる。ここで、中空シリカ前駆体は、オイルコア-シリカシェル粒子となっている。
第1のシリカ原料の添加では、油滴への第1のシリカ原料の付着をより均一にするために、エマルションを一旦酸性とした後にpHを3以上7以下(弱酸性から中性)にする方法を用いている。この方法によって得られる1層目のシリカ層は多孔質であり、緻密性が不十分なため強度が低くなってしまう。第2のシリカ原料の添加において、エマルションをアルカリ性とすることで、先に得られた1層目のシリカ層上に、高密度な2層目のシリカ層を形成できる。
エマルションをアルカリ性条件下で第2のシリカ原料を添加する際には、第2のシリカ原料と同時にアルカリ金属水酸化物を添加する方法を用いてもよい。また、第2のシリカ原料にアルカリ金属ケイ酸塩としてケイ酸ナトリウムを用いる方法でもよい。この場合、第1のシリカ原料の添加後にpHを5以上とした弱酸性のエマルションに、アルカリ成分であるケイ酸ナトリウムを添加するため、第2のシリカ原料を添加しながらエマルションのpHをアルカリ性に保持できる。また、アルカリ金属イオンがエマルション中に存在するようになる。
第2のシリカ原料の添加では、第2のシリカ原料を添加後にエマルションのpHをアルカリ性に維持した状態で、10分以上保持することが好ましい。
一例としては、0.1μm~5μm程度のフィルターを用いて分散液をろ過し、ろ別された中空シリカ前駆体を乾燥する方法がある。
そして、中空シリカ前駆体からオイルコアを除去して熱処理する。オイルコアを除去する方法としては、例えば、中空シリカ前駆体を焼成しオイルを燃焼分解する方法、乾燥によりオイルを揮発させる方法、適切な添加剤を加えてオイルを分解させる方法、有機溶媒等を用いてオイルを抽出する方法等がある。中でも、オイルの残留物が少ない中空シリカ前駆体を焼成してオイルを燃焼分解する方法が好ましい。
中空シリカ前駆体を焼成することによりオイルコアを除去し、中空シリカ粒子を得る方法では、少なくとも2段階の異なる温度で熱処理することが好ましい。1段目の熱処理によりオイルコアを除去し、2段目の熱処理で中空シリカ粒子のシェル層の緻密化を行う。
なお、2段目の熱処理温度は、1段目の熱処理温度よりも200℃以上高いことが好ましく、200~800℃高いことがより好ましく、400~700℃高いことがさらに好ましい。2段目の熱処理は、1回で行ってもよいし、複数回行ってもよい。
その後、前記工程で得られた熱処理後の中空シリカ焼成粒子をシランカップリング剤で表面処理してもよい。この工程により、中空シリカ焼成粒子の表面に存在するシラノール基とシランカップリング剤とが反応し、表面シラノール基量が減少して、誘電正接を減少できる。また、表面が疎水化して樹脂に対する親和性が改善するため、樹脂に対する分散性が向上する。
また、例1~12は実施例であり、例13~15は比較例である。
