[0038] After the polishing surface finishing of the film layer, Figure 4 According to the prior art, AF silk screen printing and AF film plating are carried out on the film layer after polishing surface finishing, specifically:

[0039] Fourth step: After the product is returned to the grinding, it is cleaned on the flat plate, the back frame ink is printed, it is baked at 150℃ / 30min, and then it is cleaned in the flat plate cleaning machine to ensure that the film plating surface is clean OK, and then the film (two-side film, the bottom film is high-temperature PET film, and the surface film is PE anti-static protective film) is coated. After the PET high-temperature film on the back of the coated product is firmly pasted to the film plating machine drum by high-temperature double-sided adhesive, the PE anti-static protective film is torn off, the film plating machine door is closed, and vacuum is extracted;

[0044] In order to more intuitively show the process advantages of the present application, the film plating process of the present application and the equivalent replacement method of the same process are compared,

[0045] Comparative example 1:

[0046] The preparation method is the same as that of the example, except that in the preparation process of the present comparative example, the substrate surface pretreatment is as follows: using one-step deposition method, and the primer material is nitride, and the total film thickness is consistent with the present application.

[0047] Comparative Example 2

[0048] The preparation method is the same as that of the example, except that in the preparation process of the present comparative example, the substrate surface pretreatment is as follows: using one-step deposition method, and the primer material is SiO2, and the total film thickness is consistent with the present application.

[0049] Comparative Example 3

[0050] The preparation method is the same as that of the example, except that in the preparation process of the present comparative example, the substrate surface pretreatment is not used.

[0051] And the product is tested for firmness DOE, wherein the firmness test standard is as follows:

[0052] Test conditions: 80℃±2℃ pure water, water boiling of the sample for 30min / 60min / 90min / 120min / 150min; after standing at room temperature for 2 hours, the adhesion test is carried out;

[0053] Test method and judgment: after the same time, use an art knife to draw a 1*1mm grid on the surface of the product to be tested according to the hundred grid tool, select 3M CT-18 special film pulling adhesive tape, completely adhere to the hundred grid surface, press without air bubbles, and then observe the surface of the adhesive tape, if there is no film layer, it is judged as NG, if there is no film layer, it is judged as OK.

[0054] And the product is tested for hardness, wherein the hardness test standard is as follows:

[0055] Test conditions: using a specified hardness Mitsubishi test pencil core or a corresponding hardness Mohs hardness pen tip, with a pressure of 1kgf, the angle between the pencil core or pen tip and the surface to be tested is 45°, and 3 lines are drawn on the front surface of the lens to be tested, each line being 5mm long.

[0056] Test method and judgment: the test substrate is fixed with the test surface facing up, the angle and range are adjusted, the test pen core or pen tip is in contact with the test surface, the weight is increased by 1000g, the feed speed is 1cm / min, the switch is started to begin testing, and the test is repeated three times for different positions, if the surface is scratched, it is judged as NG, if not, it is judged as OK (note: the initial position is considered as OK if there is a scratch).

[0057] And the product is tested for water drop angle and da Vinci value, wherein the water drop angle test specification is as follows:

[0058] The substrate plated with different thickness and different materials is placed and fixed on the test platform, 4-6ml water is dropped by the dropper and waits for 2-3s, the water source is selected as pure water, the height of the needle tube is adjusted until the surface of the substrate is contacted, then the height of the platform is lowered to make the water droplet and the needle tube separate, the height and axial distance of the platform are adjusted to make the camera display the clearest image, and the special water droplet angle tester is used to calculate the size of the water droplet angle;

[0059] Table 1: Process comparison test data of two-step deposition method of the application

[0060]

[0061] From the data analysis in Table 1, it can be seen that:

[0062] (1) The comparison between the example and Comparative Example 1 shows that although Si3N4 is used as the first layer of bottoming material, the lack of SiO2 as the outer layer of bottoming material leads to the lack of -Si bond for chemical bond reaction with AF material, which cannot be successfully prepared into a film;

[0063] (2) The comparison between the example and Comparative Example 2 shows that SiO2 is used as the first layer of bottoming material, although the scheme can be successfully prepared into a film, but there is a serious internal stress defect after the deposition of the whole film layer, which leads to the risk of film peeling;

[0064] (3) The comparison between the example and Comparative Example 3 shows that the lack of SiO2 as the outer layer of bottoming material leads to the lack of AF chemical reaction bond, which cannot be successfully prepared into a film.

[0065] In order to more intuitively show the process advantages of the application, the first layer of bottoming material of the film plating process of the application is studied and compared with the same process using equivalent replacement method,

[0066] Table 2: Comparison test data of firmness of different first layer of bottoming material of the application

[0067]

[0068] From the data analysis in Table 2, it can be seen that:

[0069] The influence of different first layer of bottoming material on firmness is studied, and it can be seen that although both use twice deposition method, the first layer of bottoming material uses Si3N4, and the second layer of bottoming material uses SiO2, compared with the first layer of bottoming material using SiO2 and NB2O5, it has superior firmness performance and better risk resistance performance.

[0070] Table 3: Comparison test data of Mohs hardness of different first layer of bottoming material of the application

[0071]

[0072]

[0073] From the data analysis of Table 3, it can be seen that:

[0074] The influence of different first layer primer materials on the Mohs hardness is studied, and it can be seen that, although both of them adopt twice deposition, the first layer primer material is Si3N4, and the second layer primer material is SiO2, which has superior Mohs hardness compared with the first layer primer material of SiO2 and NB2O5.

[0075] Table 4: Comparison test data of water drop angle and da Vinci value of different first layer primer materials of the application

[0076]

[0077] From the data analysis of Table 4, it can be seen that:

[0078] The influence of different first layer primer materials on the water drop angle and da Vinci value is studied, and it can be seen that, although both of them adopt twice deposition, the first layer primer material is Si3N4, and the second layer primer material is SiO2, which has superior water drop angle and da Vinci value compared with the first layer primer material of SiO2 and NB2O5.

[0079] Among them, the smaller the da Vinci value, the better the hydrophobicity, the larger the water drop angle, and the lower the surface relative roughness; the larger the water drop angle, the worse the hydrophobicity, the smaller the water drop angle, and the higher the surface relative roughness, so the da Vinci value and the initial water drop angle of the surface can reflect whether the surface is rough or flat from the side, as another evaluation dimension of the surface quality.

[0080] In order to more intuitively show the process advantage of the application, the application coating process and the same process are compared by using equivalent replacement method,

[0081] Comparative Example 4:

[0082] The preparation method is the same as the example, except that in the preparation process of the comparative example, the ICP etching treatment is only performed once.

[0083] Comparative Example 5:

[0084] The preparation method is the same as the example, except that in the preparation process of the comparative example, the ICP etching treatment is only performed twice.

[0085] Comparative Example 6:

[0086] The preparation method is the same as the example, except that in the preparation process of the comparative example, the ICP etching treatment is not performed.

[0087] Friction test index:

[0088] Weight: 1000g, grinding head: 1*1 cm, steel wool: BON STAR #0000, stroke: 40 mm, speed: 60 / min, 3000 times, water drop angle after test > 100°

[0089] Friction test method and determination:

[0090] The test piece was fixed on the test table with the side facing up, the test stroke of the friction rod was adjusted to 40 mm, the friction times were 3000, the friction rod with steel wool was completely contacted with the test surface and the position was fixed after adding a 1000g weight, the test was started by clicking, and after the friction times reached, the test piece was removed, the surface residual steel wool debris was wiped off with a clean silk cloth, and the measurement range was marked by blowing, 3 points were tested from top to bottom, a special water drop angle tester was used to calculate, the test results were saved, and whether it was greater than 100° was determined according to the standard, greater than OK, less than NG. (Note: the water drop angle after friction is lower than 20°, which means that the film layer is completely worn off, between 20°-60°, there is linear or point wear, between 60°-80°, the film layer has a sanding feeling, and above 80°, the film layer is relatively complete);

[0091] Table 5: Comparison test data of different etching treatments of the application

[0092]

[0093] Table 6: Comparison test data of single ICP etching treatment

[0094]

[0095] From the data in Tables 5 and 6, it can be seen that regardless of the component ratio and type of the atmosphere, after only the first etching treatment, the waterproof film is plated (the plating process and the last step AF plating parameters remain the same), and the friction peeling phenomenon occurs, the chemical reaction bond-Si of AF and the material is damaged, -Si and -OH, -F cannot be effectively combined, so this step cannot exist independently in this scheme.

[0096] Table 7: Comparison test data of single ICP etching treatment

[0097]

[0098] From the data in Tables 5 and 7, it can be seen that regardless of the component ratio and type of the atmosphere, only the second step, from the thickness change of the film layer, even if the component of the second step atmosphere is adjusted, there is no substantial optimization and improvement of the film layer itself, and there is no significant difference between groups, thereby proving the internal correlation between the two ICP etching treatments.

[0099] In summary: the application creatively adopts two-step deposition method to obtain a plated microcrystalline glass with superior firmness, Mohs hardness, water drop angle and dyne value;

[0100] The application creatively adopts two-step deposition method to obtain a plated microcrystalline glass with superior firmness, Mohs hardness, water drop angle and dyne value;

[0101] The application creatively adopts two-step ICP etching treatment of specific gas to improve the wear resistance of the microcrystalline glass after the film layer on the polished surface is treated and plated.
