[0071] [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.

[0072] 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.

[0073] 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.

[0074] 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.

[0075] 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.

[0076] 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.

[0077] 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 preferably 0.003 to 9, more preferably 0.003 to 2, and even more preferably 0.003 to 0.5, in terms of the ratio of the molar concentration of the sum of boron and phosphorus to the molar concentration of silicon, from the viewpoint of the wear resistance of the surface layer. 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.

[0078] 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:

[0079] 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.

[0080] 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 in which 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 evaporation methods for the deposition material include the 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 the electron gun method, in which the deposition material is irradiated with an electron beam to directly heat the deposition material and melt and evaporate the surface. The electron gun method is preferred as an evaporation method for 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 the inclusion of impurities. The deposition material used in the electron gun method is preferably a molten granular or sintered body because it is less likely to scatter even when an air current is generated.

[0081] 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.

[0082] 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.

[0083] 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.

[0084] 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.

[0085] [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.

[0086] 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.

[0087] 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.

[0088] 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.

The haze value was measured after each wiping stroke, and the number of wiping strokes required to reduce the haze to 10% or less of the initial value was counted. The fewer the wiping strokes, the easier it was to remove fingerprint stains and the better the fingerprint stain wiping ability. The evaluation criteria are as follows. ◎ (Excellent): Wiping required 3 times or less. ○ (Good): Wiping was performed 4 to 6 times. △ (Acceptable): Wipe 6 to 8 times. × (Not acceptable): Wiping more than 9 times.
