Abstract
Description
Silicon oxide coated film, molded product, and filled product containing emulsifier-containing oil composition
[0001] The present invention relates to a silicon dioxide coating film, a molded article, and a filled article filled with an emulsifier-containing oil composition. In particular, the present invention relates to a silicon dioxide coating film that allows for good oil drainage of the emulsifier-containing oil composition, and a molded article coated with the same silicon dioxide coating film.
[0002] Conventionally, to improve the properties of various substrates, films have been formed on their surfaces. For example, in packaging materials, a vapor-deposited film is formed on the surface of a plastic molded product by plasma CVD to improve its gas barrier properties (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).
[0003] On the other hand, if containers and cooking utensils have good cleanability after use and good drainage of contents, work efficiency improves and the environmental burden decreases. Therefore, water-repellent and oil-repellent properties are also required as characteristics of the substrate for containers and cooking utensils. For oil repellency, the use of a specific silicon oxide coating film has been proposed (see Patent Document 3). However, the oil repellency is somewhat inferior to emulsifier-containing oil and fat compositions containing emulsifiers, and sufficient research has not been conducted on silicon oxide compound films with good oil repellency for emulsifier-containing oil and fat compositions.

[0044] (Surface Free Energy) Surface free energy was measured using a contact angle meter ("DMo-502", manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd.) with the "Surface Free Energy Analysis [Component Calculation B]" setting on the contact angle meter. The liquids used for measuring the contact angle were pure water and diiodomethane (CAS RN: 75-11-6), with a liquid volume of 2.0 μL used for each measurement. The value was recorded 1 second after liquid contact. The temperature during measurement was room temperature (20°C). The θ / 2 method was used for the contact angle analysis (the radius r and height h of the droplet were determined by image processing, and θ was calculated as θ = 2arctan(h / r)). The surface free energy was determined from the contact angles of pure water and diiodomethane. The theoretical formula used to calculate the surface free energy (γ) was "Owens-Wendt". Note that the dispersion component (γ) of pure water was also used. d ) is 21.8 mJ / m 2 , components based on hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interactions (γ h ) is 51.0 mJ / m 2 The surface free energy (γ) is 72.8 mJ / m 2 The value of was used. Also, the dispersion component of diiodomethane (γ d ) is 49.5 mJ / m 2 , components based on hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interactions (γ h ) is 1.3 mJ / m 2 The surface free energy (γ) is 50.8 mJ / m 2 The value of was used.

[0045] (Surface Tension of Oils and Fats) The surface tension of oils and fats was measured using a contact angle meter. A contact angle meter ("DMo-502," manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd.) was used, and measurements were taken using the "Interface Tension Measurement [Suspended Drop Method]" setting on the contact angle meter. The amount of liquid used for each measurement was 5.0 μL. For oil supply to the contact angle meter, a "Teflon® coated needle" (manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd.) was used. The value was recorded 1 second after droplet formation. The temperature during measurement was room temperature (20°C). The Young-Laplace method was used for analysis.
[0046] [Sample] (Uncoated sample) A commercially available polyethylene terephthalate container for edible oils and fats (PET container: usable capacity 600g, inner diameter of the opening at the top 30.3mm, height 218.7mm) that was not coated was cut into a rectangle measuring 30mm in length and 10mm in width to obtain the uncoated sample.
[0047] (Vaporized film samples 1-4) Commercially available polyethylene terephthalate containers for edible oils and fats (PET containers: usable capacity 600g, inner diameter of the opening at the top 30.3mm, height 218.7mm) that were not coated were subjected to plasma treatment using a plasma CVD apparatus (details below) with organosilicon compounds (HMDSO) as raw materials under the film formation conditions shown in Table 1, thereby coating the PET containers with a silicon oxide vapor-deposited film, which became vapor-deposited film samples 1-4 of Comparative Example 2 and Examples 1-3. Specifically, hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) was used as the organosilicon compound. Oxygen (O2) was mixed with the organosilicon compound as an oxidizing gas as needed and used as a reaction gas. In addition, argon (Ar) was used as a carrier gas and discharge stabilizing gas in vapor-deposited film sample 2. First, the PET container was placed in the plasma processing chamber of the plasma CVD apparatus. After reducing the pressure in the plasma processing chamber to 1 Pa or less, the reaction gas and optionally argon gas were introduced into the plasma processing chamber at the flow rates shown in Table 1. The pressure was stabilized to the levels shown in Table 1 over 30 to 60 seconds. Then, a silicon oxide vapor deposition film was coated onto the surface of the PET container by discharging at the plasma output and time shown in Table 1. After the discharge, the introduction of the reaction gas, optional carrier gas, and discharge stabilizing gas was stopped, and the pressure in the deposition chamber was reduced to 1 Pa or less. The plasma processing chamber was then opened to the atmosphere, and the PET container was removed from the plasma processing chamber. It was then cut into rectangles measuring 30 mm in length and 10 mm in width to obtain vapor deposition film samples 1 to 4. Surface functional group analysis was performed on vapor deposition film samples 1 to 4, and the results are shown in Table 2.
[0048] <Plasma CVD System> The conditions for film deposition of samples 1 to 4 are as shown in Table 1. The settings for the plasma CVD system other than those shown in Table 1 are as follows: Name: Plasma CVD system Film deposition method: PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) Plasma source: CCP (Capacitively Coupled Plasma) Electrode shape: Similar type (relative to the container shape) External RF electrode: Upper and lower 2-piece structure, no cooling mechanism Internal gas introduction electrode: φ6.35mm, no heating mechanism Material: Aluminum alloy (external electrode), SUS304 (internal electrode) RF power supply: Frequency 13.56MHz RF switch: 2ch Matching method: Automatic impedance matching Exhaust configuration: Mechanical booster pump (main), rotary pump (auxiliary) Exhaust manifold External dimensions: 350mm x 350mm x H150mm

[0052] (Oils and Fats) Oil 1 (refined rapeseed oil: product name "Nisshin Canola Oil", manufactured by Nisshin Oillio Group Ltd.) was mixed with 1% of an emulsifier (polyglycerin fatty acid ester: product name "Sunsoft A-173E", manufactured by Taiyo Kagaku Co., Ltd.) to create Oil 2. The surface tensions of Oil 1 and Oil 2 at 20°C were as follows: Oil 1: 32.7 mN / m Oil 2: 30.2 mN / m
[0053] [Slipperiness (Oil Drainage)] Undeposited film samples and deposited film samples 1-4 were immersed horizontally in oil up to 2-5 mm below the top edge of the sample, then removed from the oil and held vertically. Within 90 seconds after removal from the oil, the distance traveled by the upper edge of the oil on the vertical centerline of the sample surface (the uppermost contact point between the sample surface and the oil on the sample surface) was measured. The temperature during measurement was room temperature (23°C). A longer distance indicates higher oil slipperiness. Furthermore, since this slipperiness measures the change in the position of the upper edge of the oil, it correlates with oil drainage, and a longer value (distance) indicates better oil drainage. The results are shown in Table 4.
[0054]
[0055] As shown in Table 4, even with the vapor-deposited film sample 1, if the oil 1 does not contain an emulsifier as shown in Reference Example 1, it has sufficient sliding properties. However, the oil 2 containing an emulsifier, while better than Comparative Example 1, has inferior sliding properties. Nevertheless, the surface free energy (γ) is 27 mJ / m 2 It can be seen that using the vapor-deposited film samples 2 to 4 below, the slipperiness (oil drainage) is improved even in oil 2 containing an emulsifier.
