  • Patent number: 8846785
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for manufacturing spherical, monodispersed core-shell type ceria-polymer hybrid nanoparticles including, a mixing step in which a cerium salt and a polymer are mixed together in a high-boiling-point organic solvent to obtain a mixture, and a heating and reflux step in which this mixture is heated and refluxed at a temperature of 110° C. or more to thereby generate a boiling phenomenon in the heating and reflux step, and rapidly cooling the mixture after the heating and reflux step to precipitate cerium oxide, and a liquid dispersion thereof.

  • Patent number: 8647679
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are core-shell type zinc oxide microparticles, a dispersion containing such microparticles, and a production process and uses of the microparticles and the dispersion. As disclosed herein, the core-shell type zinc oxide microparticles have an average particle diameter of from 50 to 1,000 nm. The core is a secondary particle of spherical shape to the surface of which a polymer is attached as a shell. Methods for making the microparticles include the steps of: mixing together a zinc salt and a polymer in an organic solvent so as to obtain a mixture; and heating/refluxing the mixture at a predetermined temperature so as to cause core-shell type zinc oxide microparticles to precipitate, wherein the zinc salt is zinc acetate; and uses such as cosmetics, resins and fibers which contain the core-shell type zinc oxide microparticles and have an ultraviolet light blocking action.
