Description

Method for producing a resin and nanocrystal compound and a paint composition visible only to long-wave infrared rays produced thereby

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing a resin and nanocrystal compound and a paint composition produced thereby that is visible only in the long-wave infrared region, and more particularly, to a method for producing a resin and nanocrystal compound by mixing it into a transparent resin and producing a light absorption element or the like through a process such as UV curing, and to a special paint composition produced thereby that includes plasmonic nanoparticles that are doped and dispersed so that they are not recognized in the visible light region but are visible in the long-wave infrared region.

[0002]

[0003] In contemporary art and design, efforts are continually being made to utilize wavelengths beyond the visible light spectrum to create novel visual and artistic effects. For example, these techniques offer unique experiences to viewers by expressing shapes and colors that are invisible to the naked eye but become distinct when observed with infrared cameras or sensors. These techniques are also used for security and counterfeiting prevention.

[0004] However, existing specialized coatings (e.g., materials that aim for broad-spectrum light absorption, such as Vantablack) primarily focus on the visible light region, and research and technology application on materials that selectively exhibit visibility only in the long-wavelength infrared region (approximately 7–14 μm) are still insufficient. In order to actually realize such long-wavelength infrared-specific coatings, a process must be secured to stably disperse nanoparticles with infrared absorption properties and easily apply them in liquid or solid form while maintaining transparency and property stability.

[0005] In addition, it has recently been reported that semiconductor nanocrystals such as plasmonic nanoparticles (e.g., ITO, WOx, etc.) can implement long-wavelength infrared extreme absorption through *localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)*. When this is combined with a transparent resin, it becomes possible to implement a highly functional compound that can selectively block or absorb a desired infrared wavelength band or impart visibility while relatively transmitting visible light.

[0006] The present invention, taking this into consideration, specifically proposes a method for producing a resin and nanocrystal compound, and at the same time, utilizes the compound thus produced as a paint composition, thereby providing a special material that is clearly identifiable only in long-wave infrared.

In this specification, it should be understood that the terms “comprise” or “have” specify the presence of a feature, number, step, operation, component, part, or combination thereof described in the specification, but do not exclude in advance the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0044]

[0045] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0046]

[0047] FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing a process for manufacturing a compound by mixing a resin and a nanocrystal material according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0048] Referring to FIG. 1, in an embodiment of the present invention, the process for manufacturing a resin and nanocrystal compound includes a step of uniformly mixing a nanocrystal material and a transparent resin at a ratio of 1:5 to 30 (S110), a step of removing air bubbles generated when mixing the nanocrystal material and the transparent resin (S120), and a step of curing the mixture from which the air bubbles have been removed using a UV lamp (S130).

[0049] At this time, the nanocrystal material must have infrared absorption properties, and the resin must be curable by UV.

[0050] In the step (S110) of mixing the nanocrystal material and the transparent resin, as the ratio of ITO in the mixture increases, mixing becomes difficult and a phenomenon of decreasing transparency may occur. Therefore, the mixing ratio of the nanocrystal material and the transparent resin is limited to the above range. In this way, in one embodiment of the present invention, the transparency of the compound is controlled by the mixing ratio of the nanocrystal material.

[0051] In the step of removing the above air bubbles (S120), after obtaining a uniformly mixed resin and nanocrystal compound, air bubbles are removed using a vacuum pump.

[0052] In the above-mentioned curing step (S130), the resin and nanocrystal compound from which bubbles have been removed are placed under a UV lamp and cured. The UV lamp hardens the polymer formed in the resin and converts it into a solid.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, the nanocrystal material may be at least one selected from the group consisting of indium tin oxide (Sn:In2O3), tungsten oxide (WOx), molybdenum oxide (MoOx), zinc oxide (ZnO), titanium oxide (TiO2), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), vanadium oxide (V2O3 / VO2), hafnium oxide (HfO2), cerium oxide (CeO2), copper sulfide (CuSx), silicon nitride (SiN), and titanium nitride (TiN).

[0054] At this time, the nanocrystal material may include doping elements of cations and anions to form semiconductor-type plasmonic nanoparticles. The cations are at least one selected from the group consisting of tin (Sn), zirconium (Zr), cerium (Ce), cesium (Cs), aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In), tungsten (W), and molybdenum (Mo), and the anions are mainly halogen anions, at least one selected from the group consisting of fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and elemental vacancy.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present invention, the content of the doping element is limited to 15% or less of the nanocrystal material. This is because the nanocrystal material generates free electrons within the nanoparticle crystal lattice when composed of n-type doping tin (Sn) element at a weight ratio (x = 0 to 15%) of 15% or less, and the remainder ((100-x)%) can be utilized as a nanocrystal component without phase transformation. If the content of the doping element exceeds 15%, the nanocrystal material is defined as an alloy, and phase separation that does not form free electrons may occur, which may result in a deterioration in infrared absorption performance. That is, since the free electron concentration is reduced, the peak shift of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) may red shift to a long wavelength region, which may result in a decrease in performance, the content of the doping element in one embodiment of the present invention is limited to 15% or less.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, a nanocrystal material is prepared, the nanocrystal material is manufactured into a colloidal solution, and nucleation and growth can be achieved using a nanoparticle synthesis technique. At this time, a doping element can be injected into the solution to synthesize nanocrystals. Thereafter, the synthesized nanoparticles can be separated and purified and dispersed in a polar solution or a non-polar solution to manufacture nanocrystals. More specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, when the synthesized nanoparticles are synthesized in a fat-soluble solution, they can be dispersed in a non-polar solution, and the fat-soluble solution can be one or more selected from the group consisting of oleic acid, oleyl alcohol, octylamine, trioctylamine, and octadecene.

[0057] In addition, when dispersing in the polar solution, a step of surface-treating the nanoparticles using a Meerwein salt containing nitrosonium tetrafluoroborate or triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate, or a basic aqueous solution containing sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH) may be included before dispersing in the polar solution.

[0058] In the above surface treatment step, the concentration of the mierbaine salt or basic aqueous solution may be 80 to 120 mg / ml.

[0059] And, in the step of dispersing in the polar solution, if the nanoparticles are in the form of strips of organic ligand, the nanoparticles can be dispersed in one or more polar solutions selected from the group including water, an aqueous solution, an alcoholic solution, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, and a polymer.

[0060]

[0061] Meanwhile, in one embodiment of the present invention, the transparent resin may be at least one of an acrylic resin, a silicone resin, or an ABS resin, but is not limited thereto. The acrylic resin may be at least one of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), and polyacrylic acid (PAA).

[0062] Meanwhile, UV (ultraviolet) curing is a chemical reaction that occurs when certain types of compounds are exposed to UV light. This reaction is primarily used in conjunction with the formation of polymers, which can create strong and durable materials. In one embodiment of the present invention, UV curing is primarily performed using a UV lamp. Typically, the materials used are composed of small molecules called monomers. The ultraviolet rays generated by the UV lamp are used to change the molecular structure of the materials and bond them together. The chemical reaction that occurs during this process can be broadly divided into two stages.

[0063] FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining a curing step of a transparent resin according to one embodiment of the present invention, which will be described below with reference to FIG. 2.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present invention, the curing step (S130) includes a photoinitiator activation step (S131) ​​that exposes the mixture to UV light to transition to a higher energy state. In this step, ultraviolet rays generated from a UV lamp activate a chemical substance called photoinitiator, and the photoinitiator transitions to a higher energy state by exposure to UV light, and in this state, it becomes reactive enough to interact with other molecules. Next is the chain transfer and polymerization step (S132), in which the activated photoinitiator mainly interacts with monomer molecules having double bonds to close one of the double bonds. As this reaction is repeated, the monomers combine with each other to form dimers, trimers, or larger polymer structures. The polymer structures thus formed are cured and transformed into a hard form.

[0065] Additionally, the curing step may include one or more post-processing processes selected from the group consisting of blade coating, spin coating, screen printing, and roll-to-roll printing. These post-processing processes may be primarily used as a method for obtaining a compound having a uniform thickness.

[0066] In addition, the transparent resin may include one or more selected from the group consisting of a viscosity modifier, a hardener, a dispersant, and a stabilizer, and a mixture of these materials may be selected and used depending on the use of the compound being manufactured.

[0067] As described above, in one embodiment of the present invention, nanocrystal materials are added to transparent resins to impart diverse functionality and enhance the material's properties in various application fields. In particular, ITO boasts excellent transparency, allowing it to maintain overall transparency even when added to the resin. This is a crucial factor in optical devices and other fields requiring transparent functional materials. This could enable innovative applications in a variety of fields.

[0068]

[0069] Meanwhile, Fig. 3a is an FTIR transmittance (%) analysis graph for a general UV resin, and Fig. 3b is an FTIR transmittance graph of a resin with ITO added according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] Comparing the FTIR Trancemittance (%) analysis graphs of a typical UV resin and a resin with added ITO in Figures 3a and 3b, it can be confirmed that the overall transmittance decreases in the graph of the resin with added ITO. This phenomenon appears to be due to infrared absorption of the ITO in the resin.

[0071] In addition, Fig. 4a is a photograph of a resin and a nanocrystal compound according to an embodiment of the present invention taken with a visible light camera, and Fig. 4b is a photograph of a resin and a nanocrystal compound according to an embodiment of the present invention taken with an infrared camera. Referring to Figs. 4a and 4b, the photographs taken with a normal camera confirm transparency, but in the photographs taken with an ultraviolet camera, it can be confirmed that only the two resins on the right side to which ITO was added appear black due to light absorption by the ITO in the resin.

[0072] In this way, when ITO was added to the UV resin and cured, it was possible to observe the absorbance through FTIR analysis. It was confirmed that the excellent electrical conductivity of ITO and the characteristics of the resin were combined through mixing the resin and ITO. This indicates that the unique physical properties of ITO are exhibited even when the resin and ITO are mixed. The infrared absorption properties of ITO and the transparency of the resin are effectively combined, and these properties can be applied to new fields of application. In other words, the compound of the transparent resin and nanocrystal according to one embodiment of the present invention can be evaluated as an important discovery for future technological development by providing new properties in a form in which the infrared absorption properties of the nanocrystals and the transparency of the resin are significantly exhibited. For example, it becomes possible to manufacture an infrared absorption device. More specifically, it may become possible to manufacture a light absorption device using a transparent sheet that can absorb desired infrared light in a specific wavelength band or a wide wavelength band.

[0073]

[0074] As another embodiment of the present invention, a paint composition visible only to long-wave infrared rays, manufactured by the method for manufacturing a resin and nanocrystal compound described above, will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings.

[0075]

[0076] A coating composition visible only to long-wave infrared rays according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises plasmonic nanoparticles doped with cationic particles or anionic particles, a dispersant, and a monomer capable of polymerizing an acrylic resin.

[0077] A coating composition visible only in the long-wave infrared according to one embodiment of the present invention utilizes the near-field and far-field spectroscopic characteristics of infrared localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) by including plasmonic nanoparticles, which are semiconductor n-type doped nanocrystals. This composition can induce infrared extreme absorption light-matter interaction through plasmonics, surpassing the visible light range of conventional organic / metallic materials.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present invention, the plasmonic nanoparticle may selectively absorb only infrared rays by generating localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR).

[0079] In an embodiment of the present invention, the plasmonic nanoparticle may include at least one selected from the group consisting of indium oxide (In2O3), tungsten oxide (WOx), molybdenum oxide (MoOx), zinc oxide (ZnO), titanium oxide (TiO2), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), vanadium oxide (V2O3 / VO2), hafnium oxide (HfO2), cerium oxide (CeO2), copper sulfide (CuSx), silicon nitride (SiN), and titanium nitride (TiN).

[0080] In an embodiment of the present invention, the plasmonic nanoparticle may include at least one selected from the group consisting of a sphere, a cube, a rounded cube, a polygon particle, and an irregular particle.

[0081] The shape of the above plasmonic nanoparticle is thermodynamically stabilized into a spherical shape, but has the characteristic of being able to selectively absorb only infrared rays while consistently transmitting visible light regardless of the shape of the particle.

[0082] The shape of the above plasmonic nanoparticles can be analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) or transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

[0083] In an embodiment of the present invention, the plasmonic nanoparticles may have an average diameter of 3 nm to 500 nm; 3 nm to 300 nm; 3 nm to 100 nm; 3 nm to 50 nm; 3 nm to 10 nm; 10 nm to 500 nm; 10 nm to 300 nm; 10 nm to 100 nm; 10 nm to 50 nm; 30 nm to 500 nm; 30 nm to 300 nm; 30 nm to 100 nm; 30 nm to 50 nm; 50 nm to 500 nm; 50 nm to 300 nm; 50 nm to 100 nm; 100 nm to 500 nm; 100 nm to 300 nm; 300 nm to 500 nm; or 400 nm to 500 nm.

[0084] If the average diameter of the above plasmonic nanoparticles is less than 3 nm, a problem may arise in which plasmonic free electrons are not stably generated within the nanoparticles, and if it exceeds 500 nm, a problem may arise in which free electron resonance is impossible and the LSPR plasmon effect does not occur.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present invention, the plasmonic nanoparticles are present in an amount of 0.01 wt% to 100 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 90 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 80 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 50 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 30 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 10 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 1 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 0.1 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 100 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 90 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 80 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 50 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 30 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 10 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 1 wt%; 1 wt% to 100 wt%; 1 wt% to 90 wt%; 1 wt% to 80 wt%; 1 wt% to 50 wt%; 1 wt% to 30 wt%; 1 wt% to 10 wt%; 10 wt% to 100 wt%; 10 wt% to 90 wt%; 10 wt% to 80 wt%; 10 wt% to 50 wt%; 10 wt% to 30 wt%; 30 wt% to 100 wt%; 30 wt% to 90 wt%; 30 wt% to 80 wt%; 30 wt% to 50 wt%; 50 wt% to 100 wt%; 50 wt% to 90 wt%; 50 wt% to 80 wt%; 80 wt% to 100 wt%; 80 wt% to 90 wt%; or 90 wt% to 100 wt%; It could be.

[0086] If the above plasmonic nanoparticles are less than 0.01 wt% in the paint composition that is visible only in the long-wave infrared, a problem of non-absorption may occur, and up to 100 wt% of pure infrared-absorbing nanoparticle dispersion solids can be used as a color paint.

[0087] In an embodiment of the present invention, the cationic particles may include at least one selected from the group consisting of tin (Sn), zirconium (Zr), cerium (Ce), cesium (Cs), aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In), tungsten (W), and molybdenum (Mo).

[0088] In an embodiment of the present invention, the anion particle may include at least one selected from the group consisting of fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), and bromine (Br).

[0089] In an embodiment of the present invention, the cationic particles may have an average diameter of 0.71 Å to 1.93 Å; 0.71 Å to 1.80 Å; 0.71 Å to 1.5 Å; 0.71 Å to 1.0 Å; 0.80 Å to 1.93 Å; 0.8 Å to 1.5 Å; 0.80 Å to 1.0 Å; 1.0 Å to 1.93 Å; or 1.0 Å to 1.5 Å.

[0090] If the average diameter of the above-mentioned cationic particles is less than 0.71 Å, substitutional doping may not occur, and a phase separation problem may occur outside the particles. If it exceeds 1.93 Å, a problem may occur in which the metal oxide exceeds the size at which the metal is not substituted.

[0091] In an embodiment of the present invention, the anion particles may have an average diameter of 1.19 Å to 1.81 Å; 1.19 Å to 1.70 Å; 1.19 Å to 1.50 Å; 1.19 Å to 1.30 Å; 1.30 Å to 1.81 Å; 1.30 Å to 1.70 Å; 1.30 Å to 1.50 Å; 1.50 Å to 1.81 Å; or 1.50 Å to 1.70 Å.

[0092] If the average diameter of the above anion particles is less than 1.19 Å, a problem of non-existence in the periodic table of elements may occur, and if it exceeds 1.81 Å, a problem of exceeding the size that is not substitutable with oxygen in the metal oxide may occur.

[0093] In an embodiment of the present invention, the cationic particles or the anionic particles may be present in an amount of 0.01 wt% to 15 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 10 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 5 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 0.1 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 15 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 10 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 5 wt%; 1 wt% to 15 wt%; 1 wt% to 10 wt%; 1 wt% to 5 wt%; 5 wt% to 15 wt%; or 5 wt% to 1 wt% of the coating composition visible only to long-wave infrared rays.

[0094] The above nanoparticles: If the weight ratio of the cationic particles or the anionic particles is less than 0.01% in the paint composition visible only in the long-wave infrared, a problem of non-formation of free electrons may occur, and if it exceeds 15%, a problem of component phase separation rather than doping activity may occur.

[0095] The coating composition of the present invention, which is visible only in the long-wave infrared, comprises infrared-extremely absorbing semiconductor nanoparticles. In order to induce plasmons in the infrared spectral range, n-type dopants (SnInㆍ, FOㆍ, CeInㆍ, ZrInㆍ, WInㆍ) and oxygen-depletion doping (VO‥) are given priority in that order to generate free electrons on the In2O3 nanocrystal host bixbyite crystal phase. The material can be dispersed in powder form, polar (acrylic, water, alcohol, etc.) and non-polar (hexane, toluene, kerosene, oil, etc.) paints (0% to 99% < concentration, 100% (powder form)) to implement the paint.

[0096] Conventionally, red phosphorus smoke screens oversaturate infrared imaging cameras, hindering the recognition of smoke-shielding objects. The ultra-absorbing infrared nanocrystals of the present invention are bulk ITO 663.13 cm -1 Contrast plasmonic nanoparticle absorption is 50 x 104 cm -1 It can reach infrared extinction performance close to that of a .

[0097] Kroger-Vink notation is a set of rules used to describe the lattice locations and charges of point defect species in crystals. The superscript dot (ㆍ) represents a positive charge, and the subscript (') represents a negative charge of the crystal lattice. By chemically adjusting the concentration of charge point defect precursors through tin (Sn) or fluorine (F) doping, free electron carriers can be proportionally generated in nanocrystals. The free electrons confined in the nanostructure resonate with the external infrared electromagnetic wave electric field, resulting in the development of an extreme absorption effect. The free electrons developed as dopants are confined in the nanostructure space and can resonate within the nanocrystal through interaction with the external electromagnetic wave. The interaction between the electromagnetic wave and the material results in a strong absorption phenomenon, which is called the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect. The strong absorption phenomenon due to LSPR can be expressed in a physical model by the permittivity (p), and the wavelength position of the resonance plasmon peak where absorption occurs is determined by the resonance frequency (ω). This resonance frequency is determined by the resonance frequency of the electrons confined in the nanocrystal. It is proportional to the free electron concentration (ne). That is, infrared region extreme absorption peak tuning is possible by designing the free electron concentration.

[0098] Plasmonic nanoparticles doped with cationic or anionic particles of the present invention can be analyzed for components and doping using Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), or Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS).

[0099] In an embodiment of the present invention, the dispersant may include at least one selected from the group consisting of hexane, toluene, benzene, chloroform, pentane, octane, and tetrachloroethylene.

[0100] In an embodiment of the present invention, the dispersant is present in an amount of 0.01 wt% to 100 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 90 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 80 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 50 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 30 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 10 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 1 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 0.1 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 100 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 90 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 80 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 50 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 30 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 10 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 1 wt%; 1 wt% to 100 wt%; 1 wt% to 90 wt%; 1 wt% to 80 wt%; 1 wt% to 50 wt%; 1 wt% to 30 wt%; 1 wt% to 10 wt%; 10 wt% to 100 wt%; 10 wt% to 90 wt%; 10 wt% to 80 wt%; 10 wt% to 50 wt%; 10 wt% to 30 wt%; 30 wt% to 100 wt%; 30 wt% to 90 wt%; 30 wt% to 80 wt%; 30 wt% to 50 wt%; 50 wt% to 100 wt%; 50 wt% to 90 wt%; 50 wt% to 80 wt%; or 80 wt% to 100 wt%.

[0102] A paint composition visible only to long-wave infrared rays, comprising a monomer capable of polymerizing an acrylic resin of the present invention, can be used as an acrylic paint.

[0103] In an embodiment of the present invention, the monomer capable of polymerizing the acrylic resin may be selected from an acrylic monomer, a (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer, or a mixture thereof.

[0104] In an embodiment of the present invention, the acrylic monomer or (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer may include at least one selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, butyl (meth)acrylate, hexyl (meth)acrylate, n-octyl (meth)acrylate, isooctyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, and isononyl (meth)acrylate.

[0105] In an embodiment of the present invention, the acrylic resin polymerizable monomer is present in an amount of 0.01 wt% to 100 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 90 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 80 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 50 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 30 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 10 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 1 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 0.1 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 100 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 90 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 80 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 50 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 30 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 10 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 1 wt%; 1 wt% to 100 wt%; 1 wt% to 90 wt%; 1 wt% to 80 wt%; 1 wt% to 50 wt%; 1 wt% to 30 wt%; 1 wt% to 10 wt%; 10 wt% to 100 wt%; 10 wt% to 90 wt%; 10 wt% to 80 wt%; 10 wt% to 50 wt%; 10 wt% to 30 wt%; 30 wt% to 100 wt%; 30 wt% to 90 wt%; 30 wt% to 80 wt%; 30 wt% to 50 wt%; 50 wt% to 100 wt%; 50 wt% to 90 wt%; 50 wt% to 80 wt%; or 80 wt% to 100 wt%.

[0106] If the monomer capable of polymerizing the above acrylic resin is less than 0.01 wt% in the paint composition visible only to the long-wave infrared, a problem of non-absorption may occur, and up to 100 wt% of pure infrared-absorbing nanoparticle dispersion solids can be used as a colored paint.

[0107] In an embodiment of the present invention, the paint composition may have a transmittance of 80% or less in a wavelength range of 0.7 ㎛ to 14 ㎛.

[0108] Therefore, it is possible to manufacture a special pigment that absorbs infrared rays and is invisible to the eye.

[0109]

[0110] A coating composition visible only in the long-wave infrared according to another embodiment of the present invention comprises plasmonic nanoparticles doped with cationic particles or anionic particles, a dispersant, and water.

[0111] In an embodiment of the present invention, the water is present in an amount of 0.01 wt% to 100 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 90 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 80 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 50 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 30 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 10 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 1 wt%; 0.01 wt% to 0.1 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 100 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 90 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 80 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 50 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 30 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 10 wt%; 0.1 wt% to 1 wt%; 1 wt% to 100 wt%; 1 wt% to 90 wt%; 1 wt% to 80 wt%; 1 wt% to 50 wt%; 1 wt% to 30 wt%; 1 wt% to 10 wt%; 10 wt% to 100 wt%; 10 wt% to 90 wt%; 10 wt% to 80 wt%; 10 wt% to 50 wt%; 10 wt% to 30 wt%; 30 wt% to 100 wt%; 30 wt% to 90 wt%; 30 wt% to 80 wt%; 30 wt% to 50 wt%; 50 wt% to 100 wt%; 50 wt% to 90 wt%; 50 wt% to 80 wt%; or 80 wt% to 100 wt%.

[0112] If the water content is less than 0.01 wt% in the paint composition that is visible only to the long-wave infrared, a problem of non-absorption may occur, and up to 100 wt% of pure infrared-absorbing nanoparticle dispersion solids can be used as a color paint.

[0113] The paint composition of the present invention, which is visible only to long-wave infrared rays and contains water, can be used as an aqueous paint when the water content is 20 wt% to 90 wt%, and can be used as a solid paint when the water content is less than 20 wt%.

[0114] Other than that, since it is the same as the component included in the paint composition visible only to long-wave infrared rays containing a monomer capable of polymerizing an acrylic resin described above, duplicate description is omitted below.

[0115] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a paint composition visible only in long-wave infrared light has the effect of absorbing infrared light while remaining invisible to the naked eye, thereby attracting interest in artworks expressing creativity and sensitivity from various perspectives. This can broaden the color worldview of modern art. Furthermore, beyond simple artworks, the composition can be applied in spatial art, temporal art, fusion art, and cultural arts education.

[0116]

[0117] A method for producing a paint composition visible only in long-wave infrared according to another embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of preparing a precursor solution containing plasmonic nanoparticles, adding doped particles to the precursor solution to produce plasmonic nanoparticles, dispersing the resulting product of the plasmonic nanoparticles by ligand stripping, and including a monomer or water capable of polymerizing an acrylic resin.

[0118] The step of preparing the above precursor solution is a step of preparing a precursor solution containing plasmonic nanoparticles before introducing doped particles.

[0119] The above plasmonic nanoparticles may include at least one selected from the group consisting of nanoparticles containing free electrons (Free Carriers), which can later induce doping due to the free electrons as doping particles, for example, indium oxide (In2O3), tungsten oxide (WOx), molybdenum oxide (MoOx), zinc oxide (ZnO), titanium oxide (TiO2), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), vanadium oxide (V2O3 / VO2), hafnium oxide (HfO2), cerium oxide (CeO2), copper sulfide (CuSx), silicon nitride (SiN), and titanium nitride (TiN).

[0120] Preferably, it may be indium oxide (In2O3) or tungsten oxide (WOx), whose plasmon absorption overlaps with the solar infrared spectrum (14,000 cm-1 to 4,000 cm-1).

[0121] The solvent of the precursor solution included in the above precursor solution may be a solvent in which a nucleation-growth step can proceed through a subsequent doping process with doping particles, for example, a fat-soluble solvent including at least one selected from the group consisting of olefin acid, Oleyl alcohol, octylamine, trioctylamine, and octadecene.

[0122] Meanwhile, it can be a water-soluble polar solvent that can proceed with the nucleation-growth stage by proceeding with aqueous phase synthesis using the sol-gel process nanoparticle synthesis technique.

[0123] The step of manufacturing the above plasmonic nanoparticles is a step of manufacturing a resultant product including plasmonic nanoparticles by adding doped particles to the precursor solution prepared in the step of preparing the precursor solution.

[0124] The above doping particle may be a particle that induces free electrons (Free Carriers) of the plasmonic nanoparticles, specifically, a particle capable of inducing doping from free electrons (Free Carriers) included in the plasmonic nanoparticles, for example, a cationic particle including at least one selected from the group consisting of tin (Sn), zirconium (Zr), cerium (Ce), cesium (Cs), aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In), tungsten (W), and molybdenum (Mo); or an anionic particle including at least one selected from the group consisting of fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), and bromine (Br).

[0125] Preferably, the doping particle is a tin (Sn) cation particle with high free electron activity due to minimization of the doping element lattice strain caused by a similar element radius by substituting a metal lattice site, or an anion particle that increases additional free electron activity by substituting an oxygen lattice site.

[0126] The doping particles introduced into the precursor solution may be included in an amount of 50 wt% or less, preferably, 1 wt% to 10 wt%, based on 100 wt% of the precursor solution.

[0127] Beyond the above range, if the content of doping particles is too low, there is a disadvantage in that the infrared absorption function is reduced due to low nanoparticle film deposition at a low capacity by spin coating, blade coating, or spray coating, and there is no physical upper weight limit as it is transparent in the visible light region and only the infrared absorption function is expressed, but if the content of doping particles is too high, there is a disadvantage in economic factors such as a reduction in the cost of using nanoparticles and the possibility of excessive red shift.

[0128] By adding doping particles to the precursor solution containing the above plasmonic nanoparticles, the doping particles can induce doping with free electrons (free carriers) contained in the plasmonic nanoparticles. As the nucleation-growth step progresses along with the above doping process, plasmonic nanoparticles can ultimately be manufactured.

[0129] The above dispersing step is a step of dispersing the plasmonic nanoparticles manufactured through the step of manufacturing the plasmonic nanoparticles by ligand stripping. In particular, by removing the ligand on the surface of the plasmonic nanoparticles through the dispersing step, not only a highly volatile non-polar solution but also compatibility with an eco-friendly water-soluble polar solution is secured in terms of industrial production, thereby securing a wide range of production process flexibility under haze-free thin film conditions. As a result, it is easy to disperse in a non-polar solvent, and it is characterized by easy dispersion with a polar solution that can be additionally added when manufacturing a thin film optical material in the future.

[0130] In the step of manufacturing the above plasmonic nanoparticles, if the solvent included in the resultant product of the plasmonic nanoparticles is a fat-soluble solution, the nanoparticle surface is composed of a fat-soluble ligand, and the solution can be dispersed by mixing with the nonpolar solution due to the miscibility of nonpolar molecules and the fat-soluble surface. Specifically, the nonpolar solution may include at least one selected from the group consisting of hexane, toluene, benzene, chloroform, pentane, octane, and tetrachloroethylene.

[0131] In one embodiment, additionally, when mixing with a non-polar solution, a Meerwein salt may be further added for dispersion. This is to prevent the surface ligand from being removed by a solution-phase high-temperature heat treatment physical technique and to enable chemical nanoparticle surface ligand substitution. Specifically, the Meerwein salt may include at least one selected from the group consisting of tetrafluoroborate groups, nitrosonium tetrafluoroborate, triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate, and compounds containing a hydroxyl group (NaOH, KOH, etc.).

[0132] Through the above process, the ligand is removed from the surface of the plasmonic nanoparticles, so that the haze is minimized and light scattering is minimized, making it easy to disperse in polar and non-polar solutions. In addition, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is generated, so that only infrared rays are selectively absorbed, thereby blocking solar heat.

[0133] The step of mixing the monomer or water capable of polymerizing the acrylic resin is a step of mixing the monomer or water capable of polymerizing the acrylic resin into the plasmonic nanoparticles doped with the manufactured cationic particles or anionic particles.

[0134] In an embodiment of the present invention, the monomer capable of polymerizing the acrylic resin may be selected from an acrylic monomer, a (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer, or a mixture thereof.

[0135] In an embodiment of the present invention, the acrylic monomer or (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer may include at least one selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, butyl (meth)acrylate, hexyl (meth)acrylate, n-octyl (meth)acrylate, isooctyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, and isononyl (meth)acrylate.

[0136] The dispersion result obtained through the step of including the monomer or water capable of polymerizing the acrylic resin can be used as an acrylic paint, paint or solid paint, as it includes the monomer or water capable of polymerizing the acrylic resin.

[0138] A picture according to another embodiment of the present invention is drawn using a paint composition visible only to long-wave infrared according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0139] The above picture may include any printed matter drawn or written on paper, canvas, cloth, etc.

[0140] The paint composition visible only to the long-wave infrared can be painted into a picture by coloring using any one of the paint compositions in the form of acrylic paint, water-based paint or solid paint.

[0141] The picture of the present invention can also be attached to a film by encapsulating it within a film component such as a canvas, an acrylic plate, an iron plate, or a wall surface.

[0143] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a sculpture is made using a paint composition that is visible only to long-wave infrared rays according to one embodiment of the present invention.
