  • Patent number: 11549019
    Abstract: A sol of inorganic oxide particles is stably dispersed in a hydrophilic organic solvent containing a hydrocarbon such as a paraffinic hydrocarbon or a naphthenic hydrocarbon. The sol contains a dispersion medium containing an organic solvent containing a C6-18 paraffinic hydrocarbon, a C6-18 naphthenic hydrocarbon, or a mixture of these, a C4-8 alcohol having a carbon chain with a carbon-carbon bond in the molecule in an amount of 0.1 to 5% by mass in the entire dispersion medium, and inorganic oxide particles having an average particle diameter of 5 to 200 nm as measured by dynamic light scattering as a dispersoid, wherein the inorganic oxide particles contain a C1-3 alkyl group bonded to a silicon atom and a C4-18 alkyl group. The paraffinic hydrocarbon is a normal paraffinic hydrocarbon or an isoparaffinic hydrocarbon. The naphthenic hydrocarbon is a saturated aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbon substitutable with a C1-10 alkyl group.

  • Patent number: 10899893
    Abstract: The aminosilane-modified colloidal silica dispersion contains colloidal silica particles having surfaces to which there are bound a first silyl group represented by the following formula (1): R1aSi(OR2)3-aO— and a second silyl group represented by the following formula (2): R3bSi(OR4)3-bO— and, as a dispersion medium, a mixed solvent formed of a polar solvent S1 having a dielectric constant at 20° C. of 15 or higher and lower than 60 and a non-polar solvent S2 having a dielectric constant at 20° C. of 1 or higher and lower than 15, at a mass ratio (S1/S2) of 0.3 to 6.
