When the compound of the disclosure is used as a surface treatment agent, a surface treatment agent excellent in water repellency and abrasion resistance can be formed. The reason for this is not clear, but is presumed as follows.

[Method of Producing Article]

The method of producing an article of the present disclosure is, for example, a method of producing an article in which a surface treatment layer is formed on a substrate by performing a surface treatment on the substrate with the surface treatment agent of the present disclosure. Examples of the surface treatment include a dry coating method and a wet coating method.


Examples of the dry coating method include methods such as vacuum vapor deposition, CVD, and sputtering. As the dry coating method, a vacuum vapor deposition method is preferable from the viewpoint of suppressing decomposition of the compound and convenience of the apparatus. At the time of vacuum vapor deposition, a pellet-shape substance may be used which is obtained by impregnating a metal porous body of iron, steel, or the like with the compound of the present disclosure. A pellet-shaped substance may be used which is impregnated with the compound of the present disclosure by impregnating a metal porous body such as iron or steel with a composition containing the compound of the present disclosure and a liquid medium and drying the liquid medium.


Examples of the wet coating method include a spin coating method, a wipe coating method, a spray coating method, a squeegee coating method, a dip coating method, a die coating method, an inkjet method, a flow coating method, a roll coating method, a casting method, a Langmuir-Blodgett method, and a gravure coating method.


In order to improve the abrasion resistance of the surface treatment layer, an operation for promoting the reaction between the compound of the present disclosure and the substrate may be performed as necessary. Examples of the operation include heating, humidification, and light irradiation.


For example, the substrate on which the surface treatment layer is formed can be heated in the atmosphere having moisture to promote reactions such as a hydrolysis reaction of a hydrolyzable group, a reaction between a hydroxyl group or the like on the surface of the substrate and a silanol group, and generation of a siloxane bond by a condensation reaction of a silanol group.


After the surface treatment, the compound in the surface treatment layer, which is not chemically bonded to another compound or the substrate, may be removed as necessary. Examples of the removal method include a method of pouring a solvent on the surface treatment layer and a method of wiping the surface treatment layer with a cloth soaked with the solvent.

[Synthesis of Compound 6A]

embedded image


[Preparation of Compound 7A]

Octadecyltrimethoxysilane (manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) was prepared as the Compound 7A.


Then, the substrate was subjected to a surface treatment using the Compounds 1C, 2C, 3F, 4D, 5C, 6A, and 7A. As a surface treatment method, a dry coating method was used. As the substrate, chemically strengthened glass was used.


<Dry Coating Method>

The dry coating was performed using a vacuum vapor deposition apparatus (product name “VTR-350M”, manufactured by ULVAC, Inc.). A 20% by mass ethyl acetate solution (0.5 g) of each Compound was filled in a molybdenum boat in a vacuum vapor deposition apparatus, and the inside of the vacuum vapor deposition apparatus was evacuated so that the pressure thereof was 1×10−3 Pa or less. The boat was heated at a temperature increase rate of 10° C./min or less, and when the vapor deposition rate by the quartz crystal microbalance exceeded 1 nm/sec, the shutter was opened to start film formation on the surface of the substrate. When the film thickness reached about 50 nm, the shutter was closed to finish the film formation on the surface of the substrate. The substrate on which the compound was deposited was heat-treated at 150° C. for 30 minutes to provide an article having a surface treatment layer on the surface of the substrate.


The article obtained by the dry coating method was evaluated for water repellency and abrasion resistance. The evaluation method is as follows.


<Water Repellency>

About 2 μL of distilled water was dropped on the surface treatment layer of the article, and the initial water contact angle was measured using a contact angle measuring apparatus (product name “DM-500”, manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd.). The measurement was performed at five locations on the surface treatment layer, and the average value was calculated. The water contact angle was calculated by the 20 method. The evaluation method is as follows. A is a level at which there is no problem in practical use.

    • A: water contact angle is 110° or more.
    • B: water contact angle is 108° or more and less than 110°.
    • C: water contact angle is less than 108°.


<Abrasion Resistance>

In accordance with JIS L0849:2013 (corresponding ISO: 105-X12:2001), a steel wool bonster (#0000) was reciprocated 10,000 times at a pressure of 98.07 kPa and a speed of 320 cm/min with a reciprocating traverse tester (manufactured by KNT Co., Ltd.), and then the water contact angle after the friction test was measured for the surface treatment layer of the article. The method of measuring the water contact angle after the friction test is the same as the initial method of measuring the water contact angle in the method of evaluating water repellency. The abrasion resistance was evaluated based on the degree of reduction in the water contact angle by the friction test. It can be said that as the reduction degree of the water contact angle decreases, the abrasion resistance is more excellent. The evaluation method is as follows. A and B are levels at which there is no problem in practical use.





Reduction degree of water contact angle=(initial water contact angle)−(water contact angle after friction test)

    • A: degree of decrease in water contact angle was 5° or less.
    • B: degree of decrease in water contact angle was more than 5° and 10° or less.
    • C: degree of decrease in water contact angle was more than 10°.


The evaluation results are shown in Table 1. In Table 1, in a case in which the compound contains the Group 1, the type of the Group 1 is described, and in a case in which the compound do not contain the Group 1, the compound is described as “−”. In a case in which the compound contains a partial structure that is an alkylene chain, a polyalkylene oxide chain, a divalent organopolysiloxane residue, or a combination thereof, the type of the partial structure is described. In a case in which the compound contained the Group 2, it was described as “Y”
