Patent number: 8182574Abstract: The present invention provides metal fine particles which have selective wavelength absorption characteristics in a wavelength region from visible light to near infrared light, and have sharp absorption characteristics, and influences little the surrounding wavelength, and therefore, they yield tones having high chroma. The present invention provides metal fine particles wherein an aspect ratio is in a range from 1.1 to 8.0, a maximum absorption wavelength in plasmon absorption is in a range from 400 nm to 1,200 nm, and an absorption coefficient at a peak position of the maximum absorption wavelength is in a range from 6,000 to 20,000 L/mol·cm (measurement concentration: 1.6×10?4 mol/L, and solvent: water).Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2010Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignees: Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, Dai Nippon Toryo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshiaki Takata, Hiroki Hirata, Jun-etsu Satoh, Yasuro Niidome, Sunao Yamada, Koji Nishioka, Hideya Kawasaki, Daigou Mizoguchi, Masanori Nagai, Masato Murouchi, Masaoki Ishihara

Patent number: 7976609Abstract: A method for manufacturing metal nanorods includes: a step of adding a reducing agent to a metallic salt solution; a step of radiating light into the metallic salt solution containing the reducing agent; and a step of leaving the light-radiated metallic salt solution containing the reducing agent stationary in a dark place so as to grow metal nanorods. Metal nanorods can be also grown by forming a mixed solution by fractionating the above light-radiated metallic salt solution and mixing the fractionated metallic salt solution into a non-radiated metallic salt solution containing the reducing agent, or mixing a non-radiated metallic salt solution and the reducing agent into the above light-radiated metallic salt solution; and leaving the mixed solution stationary in a dark place so as to grow metal nanorods.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2010Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignees: Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, Dai Nippon Toryo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasuro Niidome, Sunao Yamada, Koji Nishioka, Hideya Kawasaki, Hiroki Hirata, Daigou Mizoguchi, Yoshiaki Takata, Jun-etsu Satoh, Masaoki Ishihara, Masanori Nagai, Masato Murouchi

Patent number: 7846976Abstract: A process for producing metallic fine particles is provided by, the reduction of the metallic ions performed in two steps using two types of reducing agents which significantly differ in reducing ability thereof, in which a reducing agent in which the reduction ability is strong is used in the first reduction step, and a reducing agent in which the reduction ability is weak is used in the second reduction step, and the nano-sized metallic fine particles are produced. An aqueous metallic salt solution containing a surfactant is used and a two-step reduction is performed in the same vessel, in which as the reducing agent of the first reduction process, at least one selected from the group consisting of boron hydride, dimethylamine borane, hydrazine, and ascorbic acid is used, and as the reducing agent of the second reduction process, specific alkylamine or alkanolamine is used.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2005Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignees: Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, Dai Nippon Toryo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Daigou Mizoguchi, Yoshiaki Takata, Jun-etsu Satoh, Hiroki Hirata, Masato Murouchi
