Organic phyllotitanosilicate, shaped body thereof, and method for producing them

摘要

The present invention provides an inorganic-organic hybrid material having both the characteristics of the inorganic material and the characteristics of the organic material. The material has a lamellar structure formed by piling a sheet of silicon tetrahedrons upon a sheet of titanium octahedrons. In this lamellar structure, an organic group is bonded to a center atom of a tetrahedron via a covalent bond. The organic group can be polymerized to make the organic phyllotitanosilicate a tough and hard coating material. The hybrid material of the present invention thus has both the characteristics, such as high hardness and heat resistance, of the constitutive inorganic material and the characteristics, such as flexibility and filmability at room temperature, of the constitutive organic material, and further has an excellent UV-blocking property.
