Patent ID: 8138261

Claim:
A photocatalyst-containing water-based curable coating composition comprising: one of a water-based dispersion (X1) or a water-based dispersion (X2), which includes a water-based medium, a polymer segment (A) having a neutralized acid group, a polysiloxane segment (B) forming a composite resin (AB) by chemically bonding with the polymer segment (A), a polysiloxane segment (C) derived from an alkyltrialkoxysilane condensate (c) with an alkyl group of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, the polysiloxane segment (C) forming a composite resin (ABC) by coupling with the polymer segment (A) and the polysiloxane segment (B) via silicon-oxygen bonds, and fine particles of a photocatalytic oxide (D), wherein the water-based dispersion (X1) is formed by dispersing or dissolving the composite resin (ABC) and dispersing the fine particles of a photocatalytic oxide (D) in the water-based medium, the water-based dispersion (X2) is formed by dispersing resin particles in a water-based medium, the resin particles formed by the encapsulation of the fine particles of a photocatalytic oxide (D) within the composite resin (ABC); and a curing agent (E) for curing the composite resin (ABC); wherein the amount of the fine particles of a photocatalytic oxide (D) is within the range of 0.1 to 10 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the composite resin (ABC).
