The present invention provides a hard coat, a primer, a light curable coating liquid, a coat film or a resin composition which is free from the generation of an interference fringe when applied on an optical substrate having a refractive index of 1.60 or more, and is excellent in scratch resistance, surface hardness, abrasion resistance, adhesiveness, transparency, heat resistance, photo-durability, weather resistance, ultraviolet interrupting property and the like. n The present invention relates to fine particles of a tin-modified rutile-type titanium dioxide obtained through the reaction of an aqueous solution of a titanium compound having a Ti concentration of 0.07 to 5 mol/l at a pH in the range of -1 to 3 in the co-presence of a tin compound at a molar ratio of tin to titanium (Sn/Ti) of 0.001 to 2, wherein said fine particle has an Sn/Ti composition molar ratio of 0.001 to 0.5, and a short axis and a long axis of a crystal grain diameter thereof have a length of 2 to 20 nm. |
