Metal colloidal particles, metal colloid and use of metal colloid

摘要

With respect to the metal colloid of the present invention, metal colloidal particles capable of forming a metal colloid by dispersing in either or both of an aqueous dispersion medium and a nonaqueous dispersion medium in a predetermined proportion while mixing, comprise metal particles and a protective agent coordination-modified on the surface of the particles, the protective agent having a carbon skeleton containing either or both of sulfur and oxygen in the molecule, and having a structure of being coordination-modified on the surface of the metal particles using an atom or an atomic group of either or both of sulfur and oxygen as an anchor, wherein the protective agent has one, or two or more functional groups selected from the group consisting of alkoxysilyl group, silanol group and hydroxyalkyl group in a molecular structure.
