Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an article having, on a plastic substrate, a water- and oil-repellent surface layer that is excellent in water- and oil-repellency, abrasion resistance, and slipperiness. [Background technology]
[0002] When a fluoropolyether group-containing polymer is applied to and cured on the surface of a substrate such as metal, porcelain, glass, or plastic, it forms a water- and oil-repellent layer (an antifouling thin film coating layer) on the surface of the substrate, imparting to the substrate the ability to prevent oily stains, fingerprint smudges, and other stains. That is, the fluoropolyether group-containing polymer is used to form an antifouling thin film coating layer on the surface of a touch panel display of a portable electronic device terminal, the surface of the terminal housing, and the like (Patent Documents 1 to 6: Japanese Patent Nos. 6260579, 6828744, 5761305, 6451279, 6741074, and 6617853).
[0003] In addition to preventing stains, the anti-fouling coating thin film layer on the surface of a touch panel display has also been considered important for its usability (good slipperiness and smooth feel) when using the touch panel. A good usability is related to a low coefficient of friction (Patent Document 4: Japanese Patent No. 6451279).
[0004] Furthermore, the water- and oil-repellent layer is exposed to friction and abrasion caused by fingers, clothing, stylus pens, etc. during use, which can cause the water- and oil-repellent properties and stain-resistant performance to deteriorate. To ensure the durability of the water- and oil-repellent layer, a silicon oxide underlayer has been used (Patent Documents 7 to 13: WO 2014 / 097388, JP 2020-132498 A, JP 2020-090652 A, Japanese Patent No. 5655215 A, Japanese Patent No. 6601492 A, Japanese Patent No. 5494656 A, WO 2019 / 035271 A).
[0005] However, even when a silicon oxide underlayer is used, sufficient wear resistance is not always obtained. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0010] The article of the present invention, which is composed of a plastic substrate, a base layer of a specific film density and a specific film thickness formed on the outer surface of the plastic substrate and mainly composed of silicon oxide, and a water- and oil-repellent surface layer formed on the outer surface of the silicon oxide base layer and mainly composed of a fluoropolyether group-containing polymer having a hydrolyzable silyl group of a specific structure and / or a cured product of a partial hydrolysis condensate thereof, has excellent water- and oil-repellency, abrasion resistance, and slip resistance. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0011] The article of the present invention comprises a plastic substrate, a silicon oxide underlayer, and a water- and oil-repellent surface layer. In particular, the water- and oil-repellent surface layer is characterized by being formed on the outer surface of the underlayer, which is primarily composed of silicon oxide and formed on the plastic substrate, using a surface treatment agent containing a fluoropolyether group-containing polymer having a hydrolyzable silyl group of a specific structure and / or a partial hydrolysis condensate thereof.
[0012] [Plastic substrate] Examples of plastics that can be used for the plastic substrate include, but are not limited to, polycarbonate resins, polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyamide (PA) resins, polyimide (PI) resins, cellulose resins such as triacetyl cellulose, styrene resins such as polystyrene (PS), acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer (AS resin), and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS resin), polyolefin resins such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and ethylene-propylene copolymer, norbornene resins, and thermoplastic organic resins such as (meth)acrylic resins. The plastic substrate may be in the form of a plate, a film, or any other shape.
[0013] The plastic substrate that can be used in the present invention is not particularly limited, and the above-mentioned plastic plates and the like can be suitably used as the substrate, but these materials may be used as a base material on which a functional layer is formed. Examples of the functional layer include an anti-reflection layer and a hard coat layer.
[0014] The surface of the plastic substrate may be pretreated before forming the silicon oxide underlayer, which provides good adhesion between the plastic substrate and the silicon oxide underlayer, resulting in high abrasion resistance.
[0015] The method for pretreating a plastic substrate is not particularly limited as long as it can remove contaminants from the surface of the plastic substrate and hydrophilize the surface of the plastic substrate. For example, wet cleaning methods include neutral detergent cleaning treatment using dishwashing detergent, alcohol cleaning treatment using alcohols such as ethanol and 2-propanol, and alkaline cleaning treatment using alkaline cleaners. Other cleaning methods include plasma cleaning treatment using oxygen or argon plasma, and radical cleaning treatment using OH radicals. These methods may also be used in combination. Neutral detergent cleaning treatment or alkaline cleaning treatment is preferred, with plasma cleaning treatment using plasma and radical cleaning treatment using OH radicals being more preferred. It is even more preferred to perform a neutral detergent cleaning treatment or alkaline cleaning treatment followed by a plasma cleaning treatment using plasma or a radical cleaning treatment using OH radicals.
[0016] The effectiveness of the pretreatment of a plastic substrate can be confirmed by the degree of hydrophilicity of the surface of the plastic substrate. The hydrophilicity can be evaluated by the contact angle of water on the substrate, which is preferably 40 degrees or less, more preferably 20 degrees or less, and even more preferably 10 degrees or less. The contact angle of water is measured in accordance with JIS R 3257:1999.
[0017] [Silicon oxide underlayer] The silicon oxide underlayer is made of a silicon oxide film, and the silicon oxide film can be formed by either a dry coating method or a wet coating method. Dry coating methods include physical vapor deposition (PVD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Wet coating methods include a method using silica nanoparticles, a sol-gel method using silicon alkoxide, and a method that converts polysilazane into silica glass by reacting with water.
[0018] The CVD method may be a thermal CVD method, a reactive species-assisted CVD method, a photo-CVD method, etc. From the viewpoint of suppressing an increase in the temperature of the plastic substrate, the reactive species-assisted CVD method is preferably used.
[0019] Reactive species-assisted CVD is a method in which a precursor is converted into silicon oxide by a chemical reaction of reactive species, which is then deposited on a plastic substrate. The reactive species can be ions, electrons, or radicals contained in oxygen-containing plasma, or OH radicals produced by ozone gas and unsaturated hydrocarbon gas (e.g., ethylene gas). For example, methods for forming silicon oxide films using CVD methods that utilize oxygen-containing plasma can be described in Patent Documents 9 and 10 (JP 2020-090652 A and Japanese Patent No. 5655215 A), and a method for forming silicon oxide films using CVD methods that utilize OH radicals can be described in Patent Document 14 (JP Patent No. 6569831 A).
[0020] The silicon oxide precursor may be a silicon compound, such as SiH, SiH, tetraethoxysilane, hexamethyldisiloxane, or hexamethyldisilazane. Tetraethoxysilane, hexamethyldisiloxane, or hexamethyldisilazane is preferred.
[0021] The CVD conditions for forming the silicon oxide film are appropriately set depending on the type of plastic substrate and precursor used. Since the density of the silicon oxide film varies depending on the temperature of the plastic substrate, the temperature of the plastic substrate is preferably 30°C or higher and lower than 150°C, more preferably 30 to 140°C, when SiH4 is used as the precursor. The temperature of the plastic substrate is preferably 30 to lower than 250°C, more preferably 30 to 150°C, when tetraethoxysilane, hexamethyldisiloxane, or hexamethyldisilazane is used as the precursor. This prevents the silicon oxide from being closely packed during film formation, achieving the following film density:
[0022] As an example of a method using silica nanoparticles in the wet coating method, a method described in Patent Document 13 (WO 2019 / 035271) can be mentioned. In this method, the density of the formed film is approximately 2.0 g / cm. 3 It will be about that amount.
[0023] As the sol-gel method using silicon alkoxide in the wet coating method, for example, the method described in Patent Document 29 (JP-A No. 2007-11033) can be mentioned.
[0024] In the wet coating method using polysilazane, perhydropolysilazane can be applied as a precursor by spraying, brushing, spin coating, dip coating, or the like, and then left in an air atmosphere to convert it to silicon oxide. Examples of this method include the method described in Patent Document 10 (Japanese Patent No. 5655215). The ambient temperature during leaving is preferably 15 to 30°C, the humidity (relative humidity) is preferably 30 to 95% RH, and the leaving time is preferably about 12 to 36 hours.
[0025] The film density of the silicon oxide underlayer is 1.8 to 2.2 g / cm 3 and 1.80 to 2.20 g / cm 3 It is preferable that the density is 1.84 to 2.15 g / cm 3 It is more preferable that the film density of the silicon oxide underlayer is 1.8 g / cm. 3 If the density is less than 2.2 g / cm, the voids in the silicon oxide underlayer will increase, and although the increased surface area will improve the adhesion between the silicon oxide underlayer and the water- and oil-repellent surface layer, the strength of the silicon oxide underlayer itself will decrease. 3 If the density exceeds this range, the strength of the silicon oxide underlayer itself will be maintained, but the adhesion between the silicon oxide underlayer and the water- and oil-repellent surface layer will decrease. The film density of the silicon oxide underlayer can be measured by X-ray reflectometry (XRR). In the present invention, the silicon oxide film can be formed using the above-mentioned method and conditions, thereby making it possible to keep the film density of the silicon oxide underlayer within the above range.
[0026] The thickness of the silicon oxide underlayer is 80 to 300 nm, preferably 80 to 220 nm. If the thickness of the silicon oxide underlayer is less than 80 nm, good adhesion between the silicon oxide underlayer and the substrate may not be obtained, while if it exceeds 300 nm, poor adhesion with the water- and oil-repellent surface layer may occur due to insufficient strength of the silicon oxide underlayer itself. The thickness of the silicon oxide underlayer can be measured by X-ray reflectometry (XRR).
[0027] The hydrogen concentration in the silicon oxide underlayer is preferably 2 at % or more and 8 at % or less, more preferably 4 at % or more and 7 at % or less. The hydrogen concentration in the silicon oxide film can be measured by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy.
[0028] The surface of the silicon oxide underlayer may be pretreated before the formation of the water- and oil-repellent surface layer, which provides good adhesion between the silicon oxide underlayer and the water- and oil-repellent surface layer and high abrasion resistance.
[0029] The method for pretreating the silicon oxide underlayer is not particularly limited as long as it can remove contaminants from the surface of the silicon oxide underlayer. For example, plasma cleaning treatment using oxygen plasma or argon plasma, radical cleaning treatment using OH radicals, etc. are preferably used. When pretreating, plasma cleaning treatment is particularly preferred.
[0030] [Water- and oil-repellent surface layer] The water- and oil-repellent surface layer is mainly composed of a cured product of a fluoropolyether group-containing polymer having a hydrolyzable silyl group and / or a partial hydrolysis condensate thereof, and is formed on a silicon oxide underlayer using a surface treatment agent containing a fluoropolyether group-containing polymer having a hydrolyzable silyl group and / or a partial hydrolysis condensate thereof. Examples of the fluoropolyether group-containing polymer having a hydrolyzable silyl group include those disclosed in Japanese Patent Nos. 6260579, 6828744, 5761305, 6451279, 6741074, 6617853, JP 2011-116947, 2007-197425, 2007-297589, 2007-297543, and 2008-0 Compounds described in JP-A-88412, JP-A-2008-144144, JP-A-2010-031184, JP-A-2010-047516, JP-A-2011-178835, JP-A-2014-084405, JP-A-2014-105235, JP-A-2013-253228, JP-A-2014-218639, and WO 2013 / 121984 (Patent Documents 1 to 6, 15 to 28) can be used.

[0033] In the above formula (11), X's are hydrolyzable groups which may be different from one another. Examples of such X's include alkoxy groups having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, such as methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, butoxy, isobutoxy, sec-butoxy, and tert-butoxy; alkoxy-substituted alkoxy groups having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, such as methoxymethoxy, methoxyethoxy, ethoxymethoxy, and ethoxyethoxy; acyloxy groups having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, such as acetoxy and propionoxy; alkenyloxy groups having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, such as vinyloxy, allyloxy, propenoxy, and isopropenoxy; and halogen groups, such as chlorine, bromine, and iodo.

The optimal concentration of the fluoropolyether group-containing polymer having a hydrolyzable silyl group and / or its partial hydrolysis condensate to be dissolved in the solvent is not limited and may be appropriately selected depending on the method of use of the surface treatment agent. The concentration is usually 0.01 to 30 mass%, preferably 0.02 to 25 mass%, and more preferably 0.05 to 20 mass%.
[0091] The water- and oil-repellent surface layer can be formed using a surface treatment agent by known methods such as brushing, dipping, spraying, and vapor deposition (physical vapor deposition (PVD) method).

It was then rinsed thoroughly with ion-exchanged water, and the water on the plastic substrate was blown off with compressed air to dry it.
[0096] [Plasma cleaning of plastic substrates] The HC / PC substrate surface that had been cleaned as described above was treated with oxygen-argon mixed plasma under the following treatment conditions. Processing device: PDC510 (Yamato Scientific) Oxygen gas flow rate: 10sccm (Standard Cubic Centimeters) Argon gas flow rate: 100sccm Processing pressure: 60Pa RF supply power: 250W Processing time: 30 seconds

The film thickness was 5 nm and the film density was 2.0 g / cm under the following processing conditions: 3 A silicon oxide underlayer was formed. Precursor material: tetraethoxysilane Base material temperature: 30℃ Processing gas (flow rate): Ozone gas (150sccm) Ethylene gas (50sccm) Tetraethoxysilane (1sccm) Nitrogen gas (15sccm)
[0098] The thickness and density of the silicon oxide underlayer were obtained by X-ray reflectivity measurement. That is, the measured profile was subjected to simulation fitting to determine the thickness and density. The measurement conditions are as follows: Measurement device: SmartLab (Rigaku) X-ray source: Rotating anode (Cu), output 45kV, 200mA Incident optics: Ge(111) asymmetric beam compression crystal Receiving side solar slit: 5.0° Slit: Incident side IS=0.05mm Light receiving side RS1=0.1mm, RS2=0.1mm Scanning conditions: Scanning axis 2θ / ω Scanning speed 0.2° / min Step width 0.002°

The power input to the resistance heating was adjusted so that the maximum evaporation rate measured by a quartz crystal film thickness meter installed approximately 20 cm away from the resistance heating unit was 1.0 nm / sec. Resistance heating was continued for 100 seconds after the evaporation rate measured by the quartz crystal film thickness meter had decreased to 0.1 nm / sec.
