The symbol "to" indicating a range of values ​​means that the values ​​before and after it are included as the lower and upper limits.

[0011] [Fluorine-containing ether compounds] The fluorine-containing ether compound of the present invention (hereinafter also referred to as "the compound") is a fluorine-containing ether compound represented by the following formula (A1) or formula (A2). {R f O-(R f1 O) m1 -(R 1 ) m2 -(CHF) m3 -O-(CHF) m4} n1 -Q 1 (-T 1 ) n2 Formula (A1) (T 2 ) n3 -Q 2 -(CHF) m5 -O-(CHF) m6 -(R 2 ) m7 -O-(R f2 O) m8-(R 3 ) m9 -(CHF) m10 -O-(CHF) m11 -Q 3 (-T 3 ) n4 Formula (A2) however, R f is a fluoroalkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and R f If there are multiple R f may be the same or different from each other, R f1 and R f2 are each independently a fluoroalkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and R f1 or R f2 If there are multiple R f1 or R f2 may be the same or different from each other, R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are each independently an alkylene group which may have a fluorine atom, and R 1 If there are multiple R 1 may be the same or different from each other, Q 1 is an n1+n2-valent linking group, Q 2 is a 1+n trivalent linking group, Q 3 is a 1+n4-valent linking group, T 1 , T 2 and T 3 are each independently an adhesive group, and T 1 , T 2 or T 3 If there are multiple T 1 , T 2 or T 3 may be the same or different from each other, m1 and m8 each independently represent an integer of 0 to 210, and when there are multiple m1s, the m1s may be the same or different from each other; m2, m7, and m9 each independently represent 0 or 1, and when there are multiple m2s, the m2s may be the same or different from each other; m3 and m4 each independently represent 0 or 1, and m3 + m4 represents 1 or 2; (CHF) m3 -O-(CHF) m4 When there are a plurality of combinations of m3 and m4, the combinations of m3 and m4 may be the same or different from each other, m1+m2 is equal to or greater than 1, m7+m8+m9 is greater than or equal to 1, m5 and m6 each independently represent 0 or 1, and m5 + m6 represents 1 or 2; m10 and m11 each independently represent 0 or 1, and m10 + m11 represents 1 or 2; n1 is an integer from 1 to 10, n2, n3, and n4 each independently represent an integer of 1 to 20.

[0012] The compound has a polyfluoropolyether chain [R f O-(R f1 O) m1 -(R 1 ) m2 ] or [(R 2 ) m7 -O-(R f2 O) m8 -(R 3 ) m9 ], an adhesive group [T], and a specific linking portion [-(CHF) p1 -O-(CHF) p2 -Q p3 ] (wherein p1 is m3, m6 or m10, p2 is m4, m5 or m11, and p3 is 1, 2 or 3). Compound (A1) is a compound having a structure of "n1 monovalent polyfluoropolyether chains-linking group-adhesive group", and compound (A2) is a compound having a structure of "adhesive group-linking group-divalent polyfluoropolyether chain-linking group-adhesive group".

[0013] The present compound has a polyfluoropolyether chain. The present compound having a polyfluoropolyether chain has excellent fingerprint stain removal properties on the surface layer. The present compound also has two or more adhesive groups at at least one end. The present compound having two or more adhesive groups at the end is strongly chemically bonded to the substrate, and therefore has excellent abrasion resistance on the surface layer. Furthermore, the present compound has a polyfluoropolyether chain and a linking group Q in the linking group. p3 The present inventors have found that the substituent -O-CHF- has at least one -O-CHF- between them. p3 The present invention was completed based on the discovery that the durability of this compound to the substrate surface is excellent by arranging the substituent adjacent to the substituent. Although the mechanism by which durability is improved by this substituent is still unclear, it is presumed that the hydrogen atom of -O-CHF- is positively charged compared to the hydrogen atom of -O-CH2- due to the action of the oxygen atom and fluorine atom. It is presumed that this hydrogen atom forms a hydrogen bond with the fluorine atom of -O-CHF- in an adjacent molecule, forming a hydrogen bond network such as FCH...FCH...FCH, thereby improving the adhesion of the film and achieving high durability. Note that "..." represents a hydrogen bond. Furthermore, when the substituent -O-CHF- is connected to the linking group Q, p3 By arranging the fluorocarbons adjacent to the polyfluoropolyether chain, the flexibility of the polyfluoropolyether chain after the surface layer is formed is maintained compared to when the fluorocarbons are arranged within the polyfluoropolyether chain, which is presumably why a surface layer with a large water contact angle can be obtained. Thus, the surface layer formed by the present compound has a large water contact angle, which allows for excellent removability of fingerprints and other stains, and is characterized by excellent durability in terms of abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, light resistance, and the like.

[0014] R f R is a fluoroalkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, which provides the surface layer with even better abrasion resistance and fingerprint removability. f The number of carbon atoms in the fluoroalkyl group is preferably 1 to 6, more preferably 1 to 4, and particularly preferably 1 to 3, in order to further improve the abrasion resistance and fingerprint stain removability of the surface layer. R fThe fluoroalkyl group R is preferably a perfluoroalkyl group, since it provides the surface layer with even better abrasion resistance and fingerprint removability. f In the compound (A1) in which is a perfluoroalkyl group, the terminal is CF3-. The compound (A1) in which is a CF3- terminal can form a surface layer with low surface energy, and therefore the abrasion resistance and fingerprint removability of the surface layer are further improved. R f Examples of the fluoroalkyl group include CF3-, CF3CF2-, CF3CF2CF2-, CF3CF2CF2CF2-, CF3CF2CF2CF2CF2-, CF3CF2CF2CF2CF2CF2-, and CF3CF(CF3)-.

[0065] [Goods] FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of an article of the present invention. The first article of the present invention is an article 20 having a substrate 12, an underlayer 14, and a surface layer 22 in this order, The underlayer contains a silicon-containing oxide, and the surface layer contains a condensate of the present compound.

[0066] The material and shape of the substrate in the first article may be appropriately selected depending on the intended use of the article. Examples of the substrate material include glass, resin, sapphire, metal, ceramic, stone, and composite materials thereof. Glass may be chemically strengthened. Substrates that require water and oil repellency in particular include touch panel substrates, display substrates, and materials constituting the housings of electronic devices. Touch panel substrates and display substrates are translucent. "Translucent" means that the normal incidence visible light transmittance in accordance with JIS R3106:1998 (ISO 9050:1990) is 25% or more. Glass or transparent resin is preferred as the material for the touch panel substrate.

[0067] The substrate may be one that has been subjected to a surface treatment such as corona discharge treatment, plasma treatment, or plasma graft polymerization treatment on the surface on which the undercoat layer is to be formed. The surface that has been subjected to the surface treatment further improves the adhesion between the substrate and the undercoat layer, and as a result, the abrasion resistance of the surface layer is further improved. As the surface treatment, corona discharge treatment or plasma treatment is preferred in terms of further improving the abrasion resistance of the surface layer.

[0068] The underlayer is a layer containing at least an oxide containing silicon, and may further contain other elements. When the underlayer contains silicon oxide, the partial structure (2) of the present compound undergoes dehydration condensation, forming Si-O-Si bonds between the underlayer and the underlayer, resulting in the formation of a surface layer with excellent wear resistance.

[0069] The silicon oxide content in the underlayer may be 65% by mass or more, preferably 80% by mass or more, more preferably 85% by mass or more, and even more preferably 90% by mass or more. When the silicon oxide content is equal to or greater than the lower limit of the above range, Si-O-Si bonds are sufficiently formed in the underlayer, and the mechanical properties of the underlayer are sufficiently ensured. The silicon oxide content is the remainder obtained by subtracting the total content of other elements (in the case of oxides, the amount converted into oxide) from the mass of the underlayer.

[0070] From the viewpoint of durability of the surface layer, it is preferable that the oxide in the underlayer further contains one or more elements selected from alkali metal elements, alkaline earth metal elements, platinum group elements, boron, aluminum, phosphorus, titanium, zirconium, iron, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten, which strengthens the bond between the underlayer and the present compound and improves wear resistance.

[0071] When the underlayer contains one or more elements selected from iron, nickel, and chromium, the total content of these elements relative to silicon oxide is preferably 10 to 1100 ppm by mass, more preferably 50 to 1100 ppm by mass, still more preferably 50 to 500 ppm by mass, and particularly preferably 50 to 250 ppm by mass. When the underlayer contains one or more elements selected from aluminum and zirconium, the total content thereof is preferably from 10 to 2500 ppm by mass, more preferably from 15 to 2000 ppm by mass, and even more preferably from 20 to 1000 ppm by mass. When the underlayer contains an alkali metal element, the total content thereof is preferably 0.05 to 15 mass %, more preferably 0.1 to 13 mass %, and even more preferably 1.0 to 10 mass %. Examples of the alkali metal element include lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium. When the underlayer contains a platinum group element, the total content thereof is preferably 0.02 mass ppm to 800 mass ppm, more preferably 0.04 mass ppm to 600 mass ppm, and even more preferably 0.7 mass ppm to 200 mass ppm. Examples of the platinum group element include platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, palladium, osmium, and iridium. When the underlayer contains one or more elements selected from boron and phosphorus, the total content thereof is, in terms of the abrasion resistance of the surface layer, preferably 0.003 to 9, more preferably 0.003 to 2, and even more preferably 0.003 to 0.5, expressed as the ratio of the molar concentration of the sum of boron and phosphorus to the molar concentration of silicon. When the underlayer contains alkaline earth metal elements, the total content thereof, expressed as the ratio of the molar concentration of the total alkaline earth metal elements to the molar concentration of silicon, is preferably 0.005 to 5, more preferably 0.005 to 2, and even more preferably 0.007 to 2, from the viewpoint of the abrasion resistance of the surface layer. Examples of alkaline earth metal elements include lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium.

[0072] From the viewpoint of improving the adhesiveness of the present compound and improving the water / oil repellency and abrasion resistance of the article, the underlayer is preferably a silicon oxide layer containing alkali metal atoms. In particular, in the silicon oxide layer, the average concentration of alkali metal atoms in a region 0.1 to 0.3 nm deep from the surface in contact with the surface layer is 2.0 × 10 19 atoms / cm 3 On the other hand, in order to ensure sufficient mechanical properties of the silicon oxide layer, the average concentration of the alkali metal atoms is preferably 4.0×10 or more. 22 atoms / cm 3 It is preferable that:

[0073] The thickness of the underlayer is preferably 1 to 200 nm, and particularly preferably 2 to 20 nm. If the thickness of the underlayer is equal to or greater than the lower limit of the above range, the underlayer is likely to have a sufficient effect of improving adhesion. If the thickness of the underlayer is equal to or less than the upper limit of the above range, the abrasion resistance of the underlayer itself is increased. Methods for measuring the thickness of the underlayer include a method of observing the cross section of the underlayer using an electron microscope (SEM, TEM, etc.), and a method using an optical interference film thickness meter, a spectroscopic ellipsometer, a step gauge, etc.

[0074] The underlayer may be formed, for example, by depositing a deposition material having a desired composition for the underlayer on the surface of the substrate. An example of the vapor deposition method is vacuum deposition, in which a deposition material is evaporated in a vacuum chamber and attached to the surface of a substrate. The temperature during vapor deposition (for example, the temperature of the boat where the vapor deposition material is placed when a vacuum vapor deposition device is used) is preferably 100 to 3000°C, particularly preferably 500 to 3000°C. The pressure during vapor deposition (for example, the absolute pressure in a tank in which a vapor deposition material is placed when a vacuum vapor deposition device is used) is preferably 1 Pa or less, particularly preferably 0.1 Pa or less. When the underlayer is formed using a deposition material, one deposition material may be used, or two or more deposition materials containing different elements may be used. Examples of methods for evaporating the deposition material include a resistance heating method in which the deposition material is melted and evaporated on a resistance heating boat made of a high-melting-point metal, and an electron gun method in which the deposition material is irradiated with an electron beam to directly heat the deposition material, melting and evaporating the surface. The electron gun method is preferred as a method for evaporating the deposition material because it can evaporate high-melting-point substances due to its ability to heat locally, and because areas not irradiated by the electron beam are at low temperatures, there is no risk of reaction with the container or contamination with impurities. The deposition material used in the electron gun method is preferably a molten granular or sintered material because it is less likely to scatter even when an air current is generated.

[0075] The surface layer on the underlayer contains a condensate of the present compound. Condensates of the present compound include those in which hydrolyzable silyl groups in the present compound undergo hydrolysis to form silanol groups (Si-OH), which then undergo intermolecular condensation to form Si-O-Si bonds, and those in which silanol groups in the present compound undergo condensation with silanol groups or Si-OM groups (wherein M is an alkali metal element) on the surface of the underlayer to form Si-O-Si bonds. The surface layer may also contain a condensate of a fluorine-containing compound other than the present compound. That is, the surface layer contains a fluorine-containing compound having reactive silyl groups in a state in which some or all of the reactive silyl groups of the fluorine-containing compound have undergone condensation reaction.

[0076] The thickness of the surface layer is preferably 1 to 100 nm, particularly preferably 1 to 50 nm. When the thickness of the surface layer is equal to or greater than the lower limit of the above range, the effect of the surface layer can be sufficiently obtained. When the thickness of the surface layer is equal to or less than the upper limit of the above range, the utilization efficiency is high. The thickness of the surface layer is the thickness obtained using an X-ray diffractometer for thin film analysis. The thickness of the surface layer can be calculated from the oscillation period of the interference pattern obtained by X-ray reflectivity analysis using an X-ray diffractometer for thin film analysis.

[0077] A second article of the present invention is an article 20 having a substrate 12 and a surface layer 22 in this order, the substrate contains an oxide containing silicon, The surface layer contains a condensate of the present compound.

[0078] In the second article, the substrate has the same composition as the undercoat layer in the first article, and therefore the surface layer has excellent abrasion resistance even when the surface layer is formed directly on the substrate. The material of the substrate in the second article may be any material having the composition of the underlayer, such as a glass substrate. Details of the material of the substrate are the same as those of the underlayer, and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted. Furthermore, the configuration of the surface layer is also the same as that of the first article, and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0079] [Production method] The method for producing an article according to the present invention is a method for forming a surface layer by a dry coating method or a wet coating method using the fluorine-containing compound, the fluorine-containing compound-containing composition, or the coating liquid.

[0080] The present compound and composition can be used directly in a dry coating method. The present compound and composition are suitable for forming a surface layer with excellent adhesion by a dry coating method. Dry coating methods include vacuum deposition, CVD, sputtering, and the like. The vacuum deposition method is suitable for use in terms of suppressing decomposition of the present compound and the simplicity of the equipment. For vacuum deposition, a pellet-shaped material in which the present compound is supported on a porous metal body made of a metal material such as iron or steel may be used. The pellet-shaped material supporting the present compound can be produced by impregnating a porous metal body with a solution of the present compound and drying it to remove the liquid medium. The solution of the present compound can be the present coating liquid.

[0081] The coating liquid can be suitably used for wet coating methods such as spin coating, wipe coating, spray coating, squeegee coating, dip coating, die coating, inkjet coating, flow coating, roll coating, casting, Langmuir-Blodgett coating, and gravure coating.

[0082] In order to improve the abrasion resistance of the surface layer, an operation for promoting the reaction between the present compound and the substrate may be carried out as necessary. Such an operation includes heating, humidification, light irradiation, etc. For example, by heating the substrate on which the surface layer has been formed in a humid atmosphere, reactions such as the hydrolysis reaction of the hydrolyzable groups, the reaction between hydroxyl groups on the surface of the substrate and silanol groups, and the formation of siloxane bonds through the condensation reaction of the silanol groups can be promoted. After the surface treatment, compounds in the surface layer that are not chemically bonded to other compounds or the substrate may be removed as needed, for example, by pouring a solvent over the surface layer or wiping it off with a cloth soaked in the solvent.

[0148] [Examples 8-14: Manufacture and evaluation of articles] Substrates were surface-treated using the compounds obtained in Examples 1 to 7, to obtain articles in Examples 8 to 14. The surface treatment method used in each example was the dry coating method or wet coating method described below. Chemically strengthened glass was used as the substrate. The obtained articles were evaluated by the following methods. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0149] (Dry coating method) Dry coating was carried out using a vacuum deposition apparatus (VTR350M, manufactured by ULVAC) (vacuum deposition method). 0.5 g of each compound was placed in a molybdenum boat in the vacuum deposition apparatus, and the inside of the vacuum deposition apparatus was heated to 1 × 10 -3 The boat containing the compound was heated at a rate of 10°C / min or less, and when the deposition rate measured by a quartz crystal oscillator film thickness meter exceeded 1 nm / sec, the shutter was opened to start film formation on the surface of the substrate. When the film thickness reached approximately 50 nm, the shutter was closed to terminate film formation on the surface of the substrate. The substrate on which the compound had been deposited was heat-treated at 200°C for 30 minutes and washed with dichloropentafluoropropane (AK-225, manufactured by AGC Corporation), yielding an article having a surface layer on the surface of the substrate.

[0150] (Evaluation method) <Contact angle measurement method> The contact angle of approximately 2 μL of distilled water or n-hexadecane placed on the surface of the surface layer was measured using a contact angle measuring device (Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd., DM-500). Measurements were taken at five different points on the surface of the surface layer, and the average value was calculated. The 2θ method was used to calculate the contact angle.

[0151] <Initial contact angle> The surface layer was measured for the initial water contact angle and the initial n-hexadecane contact angle by the above-mentioned measurement method. The evaluation criteria were as follows. Initial water contact angle: 〇 (Good): 115 degrees or higher. × (Not acceptable): Less than 115 degrees.

[0152] <Abrasion resistance (steel wool)> The surface layer was measured for its water contact angle using a reciprocating traverse tester (KNT Corporation) in accordance with JIS L0849:2013 (ISO 105-X12:2001) by rubbing steel wool Bonstar (#0000) back and forth 10,000 times at a pressure of 98.07 kPa and a speed of 320 cm / min. The water contact angle was then measured using the method described above. The smaller the decrease in water repellency (water contact angle) after rubbing, the smaller the decrease in performance due to friction, and the more excellent the abrasion resistance. The evaluation criteria are as follows: ◎ (Excellent): The change in water contact angle after 10,000 reciprocating strokes is 4 degrees or less. ◯ (Good): The change in the water contact angle after 10,000 reciprocating strokes is more than 4 degrees and 8 degrees or less. × (unacceptable): The change in the water contact angle after 10,000 reciprocating strokes is more than 8 degrees.

[0153] <Light resistance> The surface layer was subjected to a tabletop xenon arc lamp accelerated light resistance test (product name: SUNTEST XLS+, manufactured by Toyo Seiki Co., Ltd.) at a black panel temperature of 63°C and exposed to light (650 W / m 2 After irradiating the film with light (300 to 700 nm) for 500 hours, the water contact angle was measured by the above method. The evaluation criteria are as follows. ⊚ (Excellent): The change in water contact angle after the accelerated light resistance test is 5 degrees or less. ◯ (Good): The change in water contact angle after the accelerated light resistance test is more than 5 degrees and 10 degrees or less. × (unacceptable): The change in water contact angle after the accelerated light resistance test is more than 10 degrees.

[0154] [Table 1]

[0155] As shown in Table 1, the articles of Examples 12 and 14, which used the compounds of Examples 5 and 7, also had good initial contact angles and light resistance, but a decrease in water contact angle was confirmed, especially after the friction test. Furthermore, the article using the compound of Example 6, in which the O-CHF group was located away from the adhesion group, had insufficient initial water repellency. On the other hand, the articles of Examples 8 to 11, which used the fluorine-containing ether compounds of Examples 1 to 4 having an O-CHF group at the linkage between the polyfluoropolyether chain and the adhesive group, showed suppressed reduction in water contact angle even after the friction test and light resistance test, demonstrating excellent durability.
