[0009] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing an example of a silica-coated glass substrate of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing an example of a silica-coated glass substrate of the present invention. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing an example of a silica-coated glass substrate of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The terms used in the present invention have the following meanings. A numerical range expressed using "to" means a range that includes the numerical values ​​before and after "to" as the lower and upper limits.

[0011] "Content in terms of SiO2" means the mass when all silicon atoms contained in a compound are converted into SiO2. For example, since tetraethoxysilane contains one silicon atom, the SiO2 content of 100 g of tetraethoxysilane (molecular weight: 208.33) is 29.2 g, calculated based on the molecular weight of one SiO2 atom (60.8). Also, since 1,6-bis(trimethoxysilyl)hexane contains two silicon atoms, the SiO2 content of 100 g of 1,6-bis(trimethoxysilyl)hexane (molecular weight: 326.5) is 37.3 g, calculated based on the molecular weight of two SiO2 atoms (60.8 x 2). "Content in terms of ZrO2" means the mass when all zirconium atoms contained in the compound are converted to ZrO2.

[0012] [Glass substrate with silica film] The silica film-coated glass substrate of the present invention comprises a glass substrate and a silica film disposed on the glass substrate and formed using a silica film-forming composition. The silica film-forming composition also contains at least one selected from the group consisting of hydrolyzable compounds, their hydrolysates, and their hydrolysis condensates, and at least one selected from the group consisting of silica particles and zirconia particles. The hydrolyzable compound includes only a tetraalkoxysilane, a compound represented by the formula I described below (hereinafter also referred to as "compound I"), an optionally used fluoroalkylsilane having a hydrolyzable group, and an optionally used zirconium compound having a hydrolyzable group. Furthermore, the content of the tetraalkoxysilane in terms of SiO2, the content of the compound I in terms of SiO2, and the content of at least one selected from the group consisting of the silica particles and zirconia particles in terms of SiO2, ZrO2, or SiO2 and ZrO2 are 2 to 35 mass%, 15 to 88 mass%, and 10 to 60 mass%, respectively, relative to the total content of the content of the tetraalkoxysilane in terms of SiO2, the content of the compound I in terms of SiO2, and the content of at least one selected from the group consisting of the silica particles and zirconia particles in terms of SiO2, ZrO2, or SiO2 and ZrO2. That is, the contents of the tetraalkoxysilane, the compound I, and the silica particles and / or zirconia particles in terms of SiO2 and / or ZrO2 are 2 to 35 mass%, 15 to 88 mass%, and 10 to 60 mass%, respectively, relative to the total contents of the tetraalkoxysilane, the compound I, and the silica particles and / or zirconia particles in terms of SiO2 and / or ZrO2. The silica film-coated glass substrate of the present invention has excellent alkali resistance and abrasion resistance. Although the details of the reason for this are not clear, it is presumed that it is due to the following reasons.

[0013] The silica film-forming composition of the present invention has a tetraalkoxysilane content in terms of SiO2 within a predetermined range, which is presumably why the hardness of the silica film is improved and a glass substrate with a silica film having excellent abrasion resistance is obtained. Furthermore, the silica film-forming composition of the present invention has a higher content of compound I (SiO2 equivalent) compared to the composition in Patent Document 1. Thus, when the content of compound I in the silica film-forming composition is high, a silica film containing many carbon-carbon atom bonds derived from "Q" in formula I is obtained. Carbon-carbon atom bonds are less likely to be broken by the action of alkali than silicon-oxygen atom bonds, and therefore it is presumed that this is why the alkali resistance of the silica film has improved. It is also speculated that the carbon-carbon bond derived from "Q" in formula I plays a role in blocking the micropores formed in the silica film, thereby inhibiting the penetration of ions and improving the alkali resistance of the silica film. The micropores are formed by the evaporation of residual solvents and hydrolysis-condensation reactions. The silica film-coated glass substrate of the present invention also has excellent saltwater resistance. Although the details of the reason for this are not clear, it is presumed to be the same as the reason for the excellent alkali resistance described above.

[0056] [Method for manufacturing a silica film-coated glass substrate] The method for producing the silica film-coated glass substrate 1A includes applying the above-mentioned silica film-forming composition onto the glass substrate 10 and drying it as necessary to form the silica film 20 on the glass substrate 10.

[0057] Examples of the coating method include wet coating methods such as spin coating, spray coating, dip coating, die coating, curtain coating, screen coating, inkjet coating, flow coating, gravure coating, bar coating, flexo coating, slit coating, and roll coating.

[0058] Drying may be carried out by heating, or by natural drying or air drying without heating. The drying temperature is preferably 50° C. or higher, particularly preferably 100° C. or higher, in order to obtain a silica film with excellent hardness. The drying time may be appropriately set depending on the drying temperature, the size of the glass substrate, etc., but is preferably 5 minutes or more, and particularly preferably 10 minutes or more.

[0059] Other Aspects FIG. 1 shows an example in which the glass substrate 10 and the silica film 20 are in contact with each other, but this is not limited thereto, and the glass substrate with a silica film of the present invention may have another layer between the glass substrate 10 and the silica film 20, as shown in FIG.

[0060] 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating an example of a silica-coated glass substrate of the present invention. The silica-coated glass substrate 1B in this embodiment includes a glass substrate 10, a heat ray reflective film 30A formed on one surface of the glass substrate 10, and a silica film 20 formed on the surface of the heat ray reflective film 30A opposite to the glass substrate 10. The heat ray reflective film 30A has a first dielectric layer 31, a first silver-containing layer 32, and a second dielectric layer 33 in this order from the glass substrate 10 side. In the example of Figure 2, the heat ray reflecting film 30A is formed over the entire surface of one of the glass substrates 10, but this is not limited to this, and the heat ray reflecting film 30A may be formed over only a partial area of ​​the glass substrate 10.

[0061] Each member of the silica film-coated glass substrate 1B will be described below. The silica coated glass substrate 1B is similar to the silica coated glass substrate 1A described above except that it has a heat ray reflective film 30A, and therefore the description of the members described for the silica coated glass substrate 1A will be omitted.

[0062] <Heat ray reflective film> In this embodiment, the heat ray reflecting film 30A is disposed between the glass substrate 10 and the silica film 20. The heat ray reflecting film 30A can improve the heat shielding properties of the silica film-coated glass substrate 1B. The heat ray reflective film 30A has a first dielectric layer 31, a first silver-containing layer 32, and a second dielectric layer 33 in this order along the thickness direction. The thickness of the heat ray reflecting film 30A is preferably 15 nm to 565 nm, more preferably 25 nm to 460 nm, and particularly preferably 30 nm to 390 nm, in order to provide the silica coated glass substrate 1B with better heat shielding properties and design properties. The thickness of the heat ray reflective film 30A can be calculated by adding up the thicknesses of the layers that make up the heat ray reflective film 30A. The thickness of each layer that makes up the heat ray reflective film 30A can also be determined by the method described in the Examples section below.

[0063] (Silver-containing layer) The first silver-containing layer 32 is a layer containing silver, and the heat shielding properties of the silica film-coated glass substrate 1B can be further improved by the action of silver. Here, the silver contained in the first silver-containing layer 32 is susceptible to corrosion when exposed to the outside air, but the silica film-coated glass substrate 1B can suppress the corrosion of silver because it has the silica film 20. This allows the silica film-coated glass substrate 1B to maintain excellent heat-shielding performance.

[0064] The first silver-containing layer 32 may contain metals other than silver (hereinafter also referred to as "other metals"), such as at least one metal selected from the group consisting of palladium, gold, chromium, cobalt, nickel, copper, and titanium. The other metals may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0065] The content of silver contained in the first silver-containing layer 32 is preferably 100 mass %. However, when the first silver-containing layer 32 contains other metals, the silver content is preferably 50% by mass or more, more preferably 65% ​​by mass or more, and particularly preferably 80% by mass or more, based on the total mass of the first silver-containing layer 32, from the viewpoint of heat shielding properties. When the first silver-containing layer 32 contains other metals, the silver content in the first silver-containing layer 32 is preferably 99% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 97% by mass or less, based on the total mass of the first silver-containing layer 32. The content of the other metals is preferably 1 to 30% by mass, and particularly preferably 1 to 20% by mass, based on the total mass of the first silver-containing layer 32.

[0066] The thickness of the first silver-containing layer 32 is preferably 5 nm to 30 nm, particularly preferably 7 nm to 25 nm, from the viewpoint of heat insulation.

[0067] In the example of Figure 2, the heat ray reflective film has one silver-containing layer, but the number of silver-containing layers is not limited to this, and the heat ray reflective film may have two or more silver-containing layers. When the heat ray reflective film has a plurality of silver-containing layers, the total thickness of the silver-containing layers is preferably 10 nm to 60 nm, particularly preferably 14 nm to 50 nm, from the viewpoint of the heat shielding property and design of the silica film-coated glass substrate.

[0068] (dielectric layer) The silver-containing layer is preferably sandwiched between the first dielectric layer 31 and the second dielectric layer 33. These dielectric layers have the function of suppressing reflectance or improving the film quality of the silver-containing layer. The material constituting each dielectric layer may be a dielectric containing at least one metal selected from the group consisting of metal oxides, nitrides, and oxynitrides, including zinc, tin, titanium, silicon, aluminum, chromium, nickel, niobium, and alloys thereof. The material constituting each dielectric layer may be doped with an additive, such as at least one selected from the group consisting of oxides, nitrides, and oxynitrides of tin, aluminum, chromium, titanium, silicon, boron, magnesium, zirconium, and gallium. Among these, nitrides and oxides are preferred as materials for forming each dielectric layer, with silicon nitride (SiN) and zinc oxide (ZnO) being particularly preferred.

[0069] From the viewpoint of adjusting optical characteristics, the thickness of each of the first dielectric layer 31 and the second dielectric layer 33 is preferably 5 nm to 120 nm, and particularly preferably 10 nm to 100 nm.

[0070] In the example of Figure 2, the heat ray reflective film has two dielectric layers, but the number of dielectric layers is not limited to this, and the heat ray reflective film may have three or more dielectric layers. When the heat ray reflective film has a plurality of dielectric layers, the total thickness of the dielectric layers is preferably 10 nm to 400 nm, particularly preferably 20 nm to 350 nm, from the viewpoint of adjusting optical properties.

[0071] (other layers) In the example of FIG. 2, the heat ray reflective film has a silver-containing layer and a dielectric layer, but the heat ray reflective film may have layers other than these (hereinafter also referred to as "other layers"). A specific example of the other layer is a barrier layer. The barrier layer can be provided to stabilize the silver-containing layer or to suppress oxidation of the silver-containing layer when forming the dielectric layer. In this case, the barrier layer is disposed between the dielectric layer and the silver-containing layer. Specific examples of materials constituting the barrier layer include nickel-chromium alloys, titanium, zinc-aluminum alloys, and oxides thereof, with nickel-chromium alloys being preferred among them. The heat ray reflective film may have only one barrier layer, or may have two or more barrier layers. The thickness of the barrier layer is preferably 0.1 nm to 15 nm, particularly preferably 0.5 nm to 10 nm.

[0072] (Variation) Although FIG. 2 shows an embodiment in which the heat ray reflective film has only one silver-containing layer, the present invention is not limited to this, and the heat ray reflective film may have two or more silver-containing layers. A specific example of a heat ray reflective film having two or more silver-containing layers is shown in FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating an example of a silica-coated glass substrate of the present invention. The silica-coated glass substrate 1C in this embodiment includes a glass substrate 10, a heat ray reflective film 30B formed on one surface of the glass substrate 10, and a silica film 20 formed on the surface of the heat ray reflective film 30B opposite to the glass substrate 10. The heat ray reflective film 30B has, in order from the glass substrate 10 side, a first dielectric layer 31, a first silver-containing layer 32, a second dielectric layer 33, a second silver-containing layer 34, and a third dielectric layer 35. In the example of Figure 3, the heat ray reflecting film 30B is formed over the entire surface of one of the glass substrates 10, but this is not limited to this, and the heat ray reflecting film 30B may be formed over only a partial area of ​​the glass substrate 10.

[0073] The silica-coated glass substrate 1C is similar to the silica-coated glass substrate 1B described above except that it has a heat-reflecting film 30B instead of the heat-reflecting film 30A, and therefore the components described for the silica-coated glass substrate 1B will not be described here.

[0074] The second silver-containing layer 34 in the heat ray reflective film 30B is the same as the first silver-containing layer 32 in the heat ray reflective film 30A, except for the position where it is formed. The third dielectric layer 35 in the heat ray reflecting film 30B is similar to the first dielectric layer 31 and the second dielectric layer 33 in the heat ray reflecting film 30A, except that it is formed at a different position.

[0075] In the example of FIG. 3, the heat ray reflective film has a silver-containing layer and a dielectric layer, but it may also have other layers such as a barrier layer, as in FIG.

[0076] (thickness ratio) When the heat ray reflective film has a silver-containing layer and an upper layer consisting of all layers disposed closer to the silica film than the silver-containing layer, the ratio of the thickness of the silica film to the thickness of the upper layer (thickness of the silica film / thickness of the upper layer) is preferably 0.5 to 30, more preferably 0.7 to 20, and particularly preferably 1 to 10. When the thickness ratio is 30 or less, the emissivity of the silica film-coated glass substrate can be reduced, thereby further improving the heat shielding performance. When the thickness ratio is 0.5 or more, the alkali resistance and abrasion resistance are more excellent. Here, the upper layer is a general term for a layer disposed closer to the silica film than the silver-containing layer, and corresponds to the second dielectric layer 33 in the example of Fig. 2. In addition, in the example of Fig. 3, the upper layer corresponds to the third dielectric layer 35. When there are multiple layers located closer to the silica film than the silver-containing layer, the entirety of the multiple layers is the upper layer. Therefore, the thickness of the upper layer means the thickness of only one layer when the upper layer consists of only one layer, and means the total thickness of each layer when the upper layer consists of two or more layers.

[0077] (physical properties, etc.) The silica film-coated glass substrate 1B and the silica film-coated glass substrate 1C were free from scratches after the abrasion test described below. Abrasion test method The cotton cloth is rubbed onto a rubbing tester contact (HEIDON, TYPE30S, contact area: 2cm x 2cm = 4cm 2 ) and attach the contacts to 19.6 x 10 -2 The surface of the silica film on the silica-coated glass substrate is subjected to horizontal reciprocating motion 5,000 times at a pressure of 100 MPa. The area rubbed with cotton cloth is irradiated with transmitted light and visually inspected for scratches.

[0078] The silica film-coated glass substrate 1B and the silica film-coated glass substrate 1C preferably have a haze value of 0.4% or less, more preferably 0.3% or less, as measured in accordance with JIS K7136:2000 after the alkali test described below, and it is particularly preferable that no cloudiness is observed visually. Alkali test method The silica-coated glass substrate is immersed in a 0.1N sodium hydroxide solution adjusted to 23±2°C for 6 hours, then rinsed with pure water and dried with an air blower. After drying, the test area is irradiated with light and the degree of cloudiness is visually confirmed. Furthermore, the haze value is measured according to JISK7136:2000.

[0079] The emissivity of the silica coated glass substrate 1B and the silica coated glass substrate 1C is preferably 0.01 to 0.35, more preferably 0.01 to 0.25, and particularly preferably 0.01 to 0.15, in order to improve the heat shielding performance of the silica coated glass substrate. The method for measuring the emissivity is as described in the Examples section below.

[0080] <Method of manufacturing a silica film-coated glass substrate> A method for manufacturing a silica-coated glass substrate 1B includes forming each layer constituting the heat ray reflective film 30A in the stated order on a glass substrate 10, then applying the above-mentioned silica film-forming composition to the heat ray reflective film 30A and drying it as necessary to form the heat ray reflective film 30A and silica film 20 in that order on the glass substrate 10. The method for forming each layer constituting the heat ray reflective film 30A is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include physical vapor deposition (e.g., vacuum vapor deposition, ion plating, sputtering), chemical vapor deposition (e.g., thermal CVD, plasma CVD, photo CVD), ion beam sputtering, etc. The method for producing the silica-coated glass substrate 1C is the same as the method for producing the silica-coated glass substrate 1B, except that the layers constituting the heat ray reflective film 30B are formed in the order shown. [Example]

[0081] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples. Examples 1 to 6 and 10 are working examples, and Examples 7 to 9 are comparative examples. However, the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0082] [Measuring the thickness of the silica film] A silica film was formed on one side of a soda-lime glass plate under the conditions described in each example below. Black vinyl tape was attached to the other side of the soda-lime glass plate, on which the silica film was not formed, and the reflectance of the silica film was measured in the wavelength range of 300 nm to 780 nm using a spectrophotometer (U-4100 manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation). The lowest reflectance obtained (bottom reflectance: Rmin) and the refractive index n of the uncoated soda lime glass plate s The refractive index n was calculated from the following formula (1), and then the thickness d of the silica film was calculated from the obtained refractive index n and the wavelength λ (nm) at the bottom reflectance (Rmin) using the following formula (2). Rmin=(nn s ) 2 / (n+n s ) 2 ···(1) n×d=λ / 4 (2)

[0086] [Wear resistance evaluation test] The cotton cloth is rubbed onto a rubbing tester contact (HEIDON, TYPE30S, contact area: 2cm x 2cm = 4cm 2 ) and attach the contacts to 19.6 x 10 -2 The surface of the silica film on the silica-coated glass substrate of each example was subjected to horizontal reciprocating motion at a pressure of 100 MPa. After 5,000 reciprocating movements, the area rubbed with the cotton cloth was irradiated with light, and the presence or absence of scratches was confirmed using the transmitted light. The abrasion resistance was evaluated according to the following criteria. The results are shown in Table 1. A: No scratches B: Scratches have occurred

[0087] [Preparation of Silica Film-Forming Composition A] While stirring 73.67 g of denatured ethanol (manufactured by Japan Alcohol Sales Co., Ltd., trade name "Solmix AP-11"), 23.6 g of ion-exchanged water and 0.01 g of aluminum acetylacetonate were added, and the mixture was stirred for 5 minutes. To this was added 0.17 g of tetraethoxysilane, 0.81 g of bis(trimethoxysilyl)hexane, and 1.75 g of silica particle dispersion (manufactured by Nissan Chemical Industries, Ltd., product name "Snowtex OS", SiO2 equivalent: 20% by mass), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes to prepare silica film-forming composition A. In the silica film-forming composition A, the contents of tetraethoxysilane, bis(trimethoxysilyl)hexane, and silica particles, calculated as SiO2, were 7 mass%, 43 mass%, and 50 mass%, respectively, relative to the total contents of tetraethoxysilane, bis(trimethoxysilyl)hexane, and silica particles, calculated as SiO2.

[0088] [Preparation of Silica Film-Forming Compositions B to F] Compositions B to F for forming silica films were obtained in the same manner as in the preparation of composition A for forming silica films, except that the amounts of each component used were adjusted so that the contents of tetraethoxysilane, bis(trimethoxysilyl)hexane and silica particles in terms of SiO2 relative to the total contents of tetraethoxysilane, bis(trimethoxysilyl)hexane and silica particles in terms of SiO2 were the values ​​shown in Table 1. [Preparation of Silica Film-Forming Composition G] While stirring 73.67 g of denatured ethanol (manufactured by Japan Alcohol Sales Co., Ltd., trade name "Solmix AP-11"), 23.6 g of ion-exchanged water and 0.01 g of aluminum acetylacetonate were added, and the mixture was stirred for 5 minutes. To this was added 0.84 g of tetraethoxysilane, 0.28 g of bis(trimethoxysilyl)hexane, and 1.75 g of zirconia particle dispersion (manufactured by Taki Chemical Co., Ltd., product name "Baylal Zr-C20", ZrO2 equivalent: 20% by mass), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes to produce silica film-forming composition G. In silica film-forming composition G, the content of tetraethoxysilane in terms of SiO2, the content of bis(trimethoxysilyl)hexane in terms of SiO2, and the content of zirconia particles in terms of ZrO2 were 35 mass%, 15 mass%, and 50 mass%, respectively, relative to the total content of the content of tetraethoxysilane in terms of SiO2, the content of bis(trimethoxysilyl)hexane in terms of SiO2, and the content of zirconia particles in terms of ZrO2.

[0089] [Preparation of glass substrate with heat reflective film] A soda-lime glass plate (AGC Corporation (FL5)) was used as the glass substrate. A heat-reflecting film was deposited on one main surface of the soda-lime glass plate using an in-line sputtering system in the following order: SiN layer (30 nm), NiCr layer (2 nm), Ag layer (12 nm), NiCr layer (2 nm), SiN layer (88 nm), NiCr layer (1 nm), Ag layer (14 nm), NiCr layer (1 nm), and SiN layer (39 nm). This resulted in a glass substrate with a heat-reflecting film. The values ​​in parentheses indicate the layer thickness. The thickness of each layer was calculated by proportional conversion based on the thickness when deposited at a predetermined input power. Specifically, the SiN layer was formed by AC sputtering in an atmosphere containing argon and nitrogen, using a sputtering target primarily composed of silicon. The NiCr layer was formed by DC sputtering in an argon atmosphere, using a sputtering target primarily composed of a nickel-chromium alloy. The Ag layer was formed by DC sputtering in an argon atmosphere, using a sputtering target primarily composed of silver. The SiN layer is the dielectric layer, the NiCr layer is the barrier layer, and the Ag layer is the silver-containing layer.

[0090] [Example 1] The above-mentioned glass substrate with a heat ray reflective film (size: 100 mm×100 mm) was washed with pure water and then air-dried. After air drying, the above-mentioned silica film-forming composition A was dropped onto the surface of the heat ray-reflecting film of the heat ray-reflecting film-coated glass, and a coated glass substrate on which a coating of the silica film-forming composition A was formed was produced using a spin coating method (spin-off rotation speed: 300 rpm). The glass substrate with the coating film was placed in a hot air furnace with the temperature adjusted to 130°C, heated for 10 minutes to harden the coating film, and then cooled at room temperature to obtain the glass substrate with the silica film of Example 1.

[0091] [Examples 2-5 and 7-10] Glass substrates with silica films of Examples 2 to 5 and Examples 7 to 10 were prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the silica film-forming composition shown in Table 1 was used instead of silica film-forming composition A, and the coating conditions were adjusted so that the thickness of the silica film would be the value shown in Table 1.

[0092] [Example 6] A silica film-coated glass substrate of Example 6 was produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that a soda lime glass plate was used instead of the heat ray reflective film-coated glass substrate.

[0093] [Evaluation results] The above-mentioned various evaluations were carried out using the silica film-attached glass substrates of Examples 1 to 10. The results are shown in Table 1. In Table 1, "content (mass %) in terms of SiO2" means the content of tetraethoxysilane in terms of SiO2, the content of bis(trimethoxysilyl)hexane in terms of SiO2, and the content of at least one kind selected from the group consisting of silica particles and zirconia particles in terms of SiO2, ZrO2, or SiO2 and ZrO2 relative to the total content of the content of tetraethoxysilane in terms of SiO2, the content of bis(trimethoxysilyl)hexane in terms of SiO2, and the content of at least one kind selected from the group consisting of silica particles and zirconia particles in terms of SiO2, ZrO2, or SiO2 and ZrO2. Furthermore, "thickness of silica film / thickness of upper layer" means the ratio of the thickness of the silica film to the thickness of the upper layer (NiCr layer (1 nm) and SiN layer (39 nm) in the heat ray reflective film).

[0094] [Table 1]

[0095] As shown in Table 1, it was confirmed that by using a composition for forming a silica film in which the content of tetraalkoxysilane in terms of SiO2, the content of compound I in terms of SiO2, and the content of at least one kind selected from the group consisting of silica particles and zirconia particles in terms of SiO2, ZrO2, or SiO2 and ZrO2 are each within a specified range, a glass substrate with a silica film having excellent alkali resistance, salt water resistance, and abrasion resistance can be obtained (Examples 1 to 6, 10).
