摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide hexagonal plate-shaped zinc oxide particles which can be used as a cosmetic raw material, a heat releasing filler and the like, a method for production of the same, and a cosmetic, a heat releasing filler, a heat releasing resin composition, a heat releasing grease and a heat releasing coating composition each comprising the same. Provided are hexagonal plate-shaped zinc oxide particles having hexagonal-shaped surfaces, wherein the primary particle diameter is 0.01 μm or more and the aspect ratio is 2.5 or more, and 50% or more of 250 particles in a transmission electron microscope photograph satisfy both the requirements (1) the particle has a hexagonal-shaped surface; and (2) Dmin/Dmax≧0.3, where Dmax: a length of the largest diagonal line of three diagonal lines of the hexagonal-shaped surface of the hexagonal plate-shaped zinc oxide particle; and Dmin: a length of the smallest diagonal line of three diagonal lines of the hexagonal-shaped surface of the hexagonal plate-shaped zinc oxide particle.

1. Hexagonal plate-shaped zinc oxide particles having hexagonal-shaped surfaces, wherein
the primary particle diameter is 0.01 μm or more and the aspect ratio is 2.5 or more, and 50% or more of 250 particles in a transmission electron microscope photograph satisfy both the requirements (1) and (2): (1) the particle has a hexagonal-shaped surface; and (2) Dmin/Dmax 0.3, where Dmax: a length of the largest diagonal line of three diagonal lines of the hexagonal-shaped surface of the hexagonal plate-shaped zinc oxide particle; and Dmin: a length of the smallest diagonal line of three diagonal lines of the hexagonal-shaped surface of the hexagonal plate-shaped zinc oxide particle, and wherein the aspect ratio of the hexagonal plate-shaped zinc oxide particles is a value determined as a ratio of L/T where L is an average value of measured particle diameters (μm) of 250 particles, the particle diameter defined by a unidirectional diameter for particles in which the hexagonal-shaped surface of the hexagonal plate-shaped zinc oxide particle faces frontward (distance between two parallel lines in a fixed direction with a particle held there between; measurements are made in a fixed direction for particles in which the hexagonal-shaped surface on the image faces frontward), and T is an average value of measured thicknesses (μm) (length of the shorter dimension of the side surface of the particles) of 250 particles for particles in which the side surface of the hexagonal plate-shaped zinc oxide particle faces frontward, in a visual field of 2000 to 50000 magnification in a transmission electron microscope photograph or a scanning electron microscope photograph.
