Abstract

The complex functional pigment according to the present invention can effectively functionalize paints while minimizing the content of pigment added to a paint composition, that is, the solid content of a paint composition, for functionalization such as heat insulation, sound insulation, beautification, weather resistance, durability, chemical resistance, antibiotic properties, surface hydrophilization/hydrophobicity and the like, and even when added in a high content in the paint composition, it has an effect of excellent dispersibility. In addition, since the color realization area of a coating film is wide, various colors can be implemented, and it also has an effect that it is easy to adjust to the desired color.

Claims (15)

1. A method for manufacturing a complex functional pigment, comprising:

(a1) preparing a first solution comprising a titanium precursor;

(b1) mixing an acid with the first solution and hydrolyzing to prepare a first sol;

(c1) preparing a second solution comprising a metal precursor comprising one or two or more metals selected from the group consisting of noble metals; and

(d) preparing a reaction solution by mixing the first sol with the second solution and performing a condensation reaction to manufacture a gel.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising (e) aging at high temperature, after step (d).

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising (f) removing a solvent in the supercritical state, after step (e).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the metal precursor is manufactured by adding C 2 -C 4 alkylene oxide to a metal halogen compound.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first sol further comprises a graphene-based compound.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

(a2) preparing a third solution comprising a titanium precursor; and

(b2) hydrolyzing the third solution to manufacture a second sol,

wherein a gel is manufactured by mixing the second sol with the reaction solution in which the condensation reaction has partially progressed in step (d) and then performing a condensation reaction.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the third solution further comprises a cationic surfactant.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein step (d) is carried out in a temperature range of 0 to 50° C.
