Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a novel fluorine-containing silane compound and a surface modifier using the same. [Background technology]

[0002] Fluorine-containing compounds have unique properties based on the properties of the carbon-fluorine bond, such as chemical resistance, water and oil repellency, stain resistance, low friction, and release properties, and are used as functional materials. In particular, compositions containing a silane compound having a perfluoroalkyl group and a solvent can be applied to a substrate and dried to form a coating film exhibiting the above properties, and are therefore used as surface modifiers such as antifouling agents, water- and oil-repellent agents, etc. In particular, when imparting antifouling properties to substrates such as glass, the ability to remove droplets of oil and the like and abrasion resistance are required.

[0003] Conventionally, compounds having a long-chain perfluoroalkyl group having 8 or more carbon atoms have been used as fluorine-containing silane compounds that exhibit high surface modification performance (see, for example, Patent Document 1). However, compounds having a long-chain perfluoroalkyl group having 8 or more carbon atoms have problems such as their tendency to accumulate in the environment and living organisms. Therefore, studies are being conducted to replace them with fluorine-containing compounds with perfluoroalkyl groups having six or fewer carbon atoms, which are considered to have low bioaccumulation potential. However, it is known that the smaller the carbon number of the perfluoroalkyl group, the poorer its surface modification performance becomes compared to compounds with perfluoroalkyl groups having eight or more carbon atoms.

[0004] Patent Document 2 discloses a fluorine-containing compound that is composed of a perfluoroalkyl group having 6 or less carbon atoms and exhibits high surface modification performance, and a surface modifier that uses the same. However, the inventors' investigations revealed that the abrasion resistance was insufficient, and further improvement was required. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0045] Example 3 A surface modifier was prepared containing 0.1 wt% of the fluorine-containing silane compound (4) obtained in Example 1 and 99.9 wt% of ethyl nonafluorobutyl ether (manufactured by 3M, product name Novec 7200) as a solvent. Using this surface modifier, the surface modification performance was evaluated by the following method.

[0046] Surface Treatment A glass slide (manufactured by AS ONE, 25 mm x 75 mm x 1 mm thick) was immersed in the above-mentioned surface modifier, pulled out at a speed of approximately 4 mm / sec to dip coat it, and then left to stand in the air at room temperature for 24 hours to perform surface modification.

[0047] contact angle measurement The static contact angle and sliding angle of the surface-treated slide glass were measured for pure water and oleic acid, respectively. Here, the static contact angle was measured to quantify wettability. When a droplet was brought into contact with a solid surface and deposited, the angle it made with the sample surface was taken as the contact angle θ. The larger the static contact angle, the better the water and oil repellency. The sliding angle was also measured to quantify the droplet removal ability. A droplet was placed on a horizontal solid surface, and the solid sample was gradually tilted. The angle of inclination at which the edge of the droplet moved 0.3 mm was taken as the sliding angle. The smaller the sliding angle, the better the droplet removal ability.

[0048] Friction Test A Kimwipe (manufactured by Nippon Paper Crecia) was attached to the friction tester, and the surface of the surface-treated glass was rubbed 20,000 times at a speed of 40 reciprocations per minute at 60 mm under a load of 200 g, and then the contact angle was measured in the same manner as above. The results are shown in Table 1. In the following Examples and Comparative Examples, the same formulations as those shown in the above-mentioned method for evaluating surface modification performance were used.

[0049] Example 4 The surface modification performance was evaluated in the same manner as in Example 3, except that isopropanol (manufactured by Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) was used as the solvent instead of ethyl nonafluorobutyl ether. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0050] Example 5 The surface modification performance was evaluated in the same manner as in Example 3, except that fluorine-containing silane compound (5) was used instead of fluorine-containing silane compound (4). The results are shown in Table 1.

[0051] Comparative Example 2 The surface modification performance was evaluated in the same manner as in Example 3, except that the fluorine-containing silane compound (4) was replaced with the fluorine-containing silane compound (6). The results are shown in Table 1.

[0052] Comparative Example 3 [ka] The surface modification performance was evaluated in the same manner as in Example 3, except that 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,11,11,12,12,13,13,14,14,15,15,16,16,16-pentacosafluoro-9-hexadecen-1-yltrimethoxysilane (7) (manufactured by Tosoh Finechem Co., Ltd.) was used instead of the fluorine-containing silane compound (4). The results are shown in Table 1.

[0053] [Table 1]

[0054] The results in Table 1 show that the surface modifier containing the fluorine-containing silane compound of the present invention provides good water and oil repellency to the substrate. 13 It can be seen that the sliding angles of pure water and oleic acid are smaller than those of the fluorine-containing silane compound (6) having a silyl group (II) and the compound (7) having only one silyl group, and that this compound provides excellent droplet removal properties. Furthermore, in the contact angle measurement after the friction test, a simple perfluoroalkyl group (CF 13 The static contact angles of pure water and oleic acid are larger than those of the fluorine-containing silane compound (6) having a silyl group (II) and the compound (7) having only one silyl group, and the sliding angles are equal to or smaller than those of the fluorine-containing silane compound (6) having a silyl group (II) and the compound (7) having only one silyl group, so it is clear that the surface modifier containing the fluorine-containing silane compound of the present invention exhibits excellent abrasion resistance. Therefore, it is useful as a surface modifier such as an antifouling agent for automobile glass, touch panels, lenses, etc., a water and oil repellent, a rust inhibitor, a water resistance agent, a stripping agent, a mold release agent, an oil barrier agent, and a flux creep-up inhibitor. [Industrial Applicability]

[0055] The fluorine-containing silane compound of the present invention and a composition containing the same are composed of perfluoroalkyl groups having 6 or less carbon atoms, which are considered to have low bioaccumulation potential, and can be used as a surface modifier capable of forming a coating film that has excellent droplet removal properties and abrasion resistance.
