TRANSPARENT INORGANIC-OXIDE DISPERSION, TRANSPARENT COMPOSITE, COMPOSITION FOR ENCAPSULATING LUMINOUS ELEMENT, LUMINOUS ELEMENT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE TRANSPARENT COMPOSITE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transparent inorganic-oxide dispersion which contains inorganic-oxide particles whose surface has been modified with a surface modifier having one or more reactive functional groups and, by this, enables improvements in refractive index and mechanical properties and retention of transparency, a transparent composite obtained by compounding and integrating the transparent inorganic-oxide dispersion with a resin through a polymerization reaction, a composition for encapsulating a luminous element, the luminous element, and a method of manufacturing the transparent composite. SOLUTION: The transparent inorganic-oxide dispersion comprises a dispersion medium and the inorganic-oxide particles whose surface has been modified with the surface modifier having one or more reactive functional groups and which have a dispersed-particle diameter of 1-20 nm. The surface modifier is one or more chosen from the group consisting of a silane coupling agent, a modified silicone and a surfactant. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
