Abstract
Abstract A titanium oxide sol comprising a disperse medium and generally rectangular, non-spherical particles of titanium oxide dispersed in the disperse medium, with narrow scatteres in particle size and configuration. The sol is excellent in dispersibility, long-term stability and light-resistance and, is stable in a wide pH range without causing agglomeration. Moreover, it is excellent in absorbance of ultraviolet ray and in transmittance of visible light. The sol may be prepared by a process wherein hydrogen peroxide is added to a gel or sol of hydrated titanium oxide to dissolve the hydrated titanium oxide in said gel or sol, and the resulting aqueous titanic acid solution is heated in the presence of at least one compound selected from inorganic compounds of metals belonging the Group II, III, IV, V, VI and VIII of the periodic table.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
203 words
A titanium oxide sol which comprises a disperse medium and titanium oxide, said titanium oxide consisting of generally rectangular, non-spherical particles of titanium oxide dispersed in the disperse medium, each particle of said titanium oxide having a crystalline form of anatase and a major axis of a length L ranging from 4 to 500 mμ and a minor axis of a length D ranging from 4 to 100 my with the proviso that L is not smaller than D, said particles having such a size distribution that a value of (σ/L A )×100 is not in excess of 30 (%) wherein L A is an average value of L and a is a standard deviation of L and such a configuration distribution that at least 60% of all the particles have a value of L/D within the range between (1-0.3)×(L/D) A and (1+0.3)×(L/D) A wherein (L/D) A is an average value of L/D of all the particles and wherein said titanium sol is produced by adding hydrogen peroxide to a gel or sol of hydrated titanium oxide to dissolve the hydrated titanium oxide in said gel or sol, and heating the resulting aqueous titanic acid solution in the presence of an inorganic compound.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
