The invention provides a nano-zirconia dispersion liquid, a preparation method thereof, a
monomer dispersion liquid obtained based on the nano-zirconia dispersion liquid and an
optical film, and belongs to the field of
fine chemical engineering. The amount of nano-zirconia particles contained in the nano-zirconia dispersion liquid provided by the invention is 45 to 75 weight percent; through
infrared spectrum characterization, it is found that functional groups in the following peak intervals are grafted on the surfaces of the nano
zirconium oxide particles: a hydroxyl group with the peak interval of 3200 cm <-1 > to 3600 cm <-1 >, a Zr-O-Zr group with the peak interval of 480 cm <-1 > to 850 cm <-1 >, a saturated carbon-
hydrogen bond with the peak interval of 2850 cm <-1 > to 2960 cm <-1 >, an ester
carbonyl group with the peak interval of 1700 cm <-1 > to 1750 cm <-1 >, a delocalized conjugated ester group with the peak interval of 1460 cm <-1 > to 1580 cm <-1 >, a Si-O-Zr group with the peak interval of 800 cm <-1 > to 1200 cm <-1 > and a C-O
ether bond with the peak interval of 1000 cm <-1 > to 1200 cm <-1 > the nano-zirconia dispersion liquid provided by the invention has high dispersion content, and the
refractive index can reach 1.420-1.565; the dispersion content of the nano-zirconia
monomer dispersion liquid obtained based on the nano-zirconia dispersion liquid can reach 55-85wt%, and the
refractive index can reach 1.620-1.720; and the
refractive index of a high-refractive
coating can be greatly improved in subsequent preparation of a brightness enhancement film or an anti-reflection film, and therefore, the performance of the film is improved.
