Patent number: 11897774Abstract: A method for producing a silica sol containing a small amount of metal impurities and in which colloidal silica having an elongated particle shape dispersed in a solvent, includes: preparing a raw material liquid by adding a compound as an anion source selected from inorganic acids, organic acids, and their ammonium salts, and ammonia to a colloidal aqueous solution of activated silica having an SiO2 concentration of 1 to 6% by mass and a pH of 2 to 5 so that the mass ratio of the compound to SiO2 is 3.0 to 7.0%; and heating the raw material liquid at 80 to 200° C. for 0.5 to 20 hours. The elongated colloidal silica particles exhibit a DL/DB ratio of 2.5 or more. DL is an average particle diameter as measured by the dynamic light scattering method. DB is a primary particle diameter as measured by the nitrogen gas adsorption method.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2019Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: NISSAN CHEMICAL CORPORATIONInventors: Satoru Murakami, Takuya Fukuoka, Kazuya Kuroiwa

Patent number: 11708273Abstract: A silica sol dispersed in a nitrogen-containing solvent and a silica-containing resin composition containing a nitrogen atom-containing polymer. A silica sol including silica particles containing aluminum atoms and having an average primary particle diameter of 5 to 100 nm, the silica particles being dispersed in a nitrogen-containing solvent, wherein the aluminum atoms are bonded to the surfaces of the silica particles in an amount in terms of Al2O3 of 800 to 10,000 ppm/SiO2. The silica particles are bonded to a silane compound or a hydrolysate of the silane compound. The nitrogen-containing solvent is an amide solvent. The nitrogen-containing solvent is dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, or N-ethylpyrrolidone. The insulating resin composition includes the silica sol and a nitrogen-containing polymer. The nitrogen-containing polymer is polyimide, polyamide, polyamic acid, polyamideimide, polyetherimide, or polyesterimide.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2021Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: NISSAN CHEMICAL CORPORATIONInventors: Kazuya Kuroiwa, Hikaru Onishi, Yuki Sugawara, Naohiko Suemura

Patent number: 11168201Abstract: A silica-blended resin varnish contains a silica sol with a high dispersibility that is dispersed in a ketone organic solvent, in a nitrogen atom-containing polymer. The particles have an average size of 5 to 100 nm and have a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond-containing organic group and an alkoxy group bonded to surfaces thereof. The carbon-carbon unsaturated bond-containing organic group is bonded at 0.5 to 2.0 groups per unit area (nm2) of the particle surfaces. The alkoxy group is bonded at 0.1 to 2.0 groups per unit area (nm2) of the particle surfaces. The molar ratio of {(the carbon-carbon unsaturated bond-containing organic group)/(the alkoxy group)} is 0.5 to 5.0. The carbon-carbon unsaturated bond-containing organic group may be a phenyl group-containing organic group or a (meth)acryloyl group-containing organic group.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2020Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: NISSAN CHEMICAL CORPORATIONInventors: Kazuya Kuroiwa, Naohiko Suemura, Masatoshi Sugisawa
