Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a laminate and a production method therefor.

BACKGROUND ART

A fluorine-based water-repellent coating film typified by a coating film that is formed from a composition containing a compound which has a perfluoropolyether structure has a very low surface free energy, and is thus used as antifouling coating, water/oil repellent coating, and the like in various fields for display devices such as touch panel displays, optical devices, semiconductor devices, construction materials, window glass for automobiles and buildings, and the like.

A water-repellent coating film is formed and used on a substrate in general. When a composition for forming the water-repellent coating film is applied to the substrate, the composition may be applied after another layer such as a primer layer is previously formed on the substrate to form antifouling coating or water/oil repellent coating.

For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a hard coat film in which a hard coat layer (X), a primer layer (Y), and a surface layer (Z) are sequentially laminated on at least one surface of the substrate, and the surface layer (Z) has a water contact angle of not less than 110°. It is indicated that a fluorine-based compound having a polyperfluoropolyether chain is preferably used in order to form the surface layer (Z), and a silane compound such as 3-acryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane is preferably used in order to form the primer layer (Y).

The substrate (s) having an anti-reflection layer, the intermediate layer (c), and the water-repellent layer (r) in the laminate of the present invention will be sequentially described below.

1. Substrate (s)

A material of a portion other than an anti-reflection layer (ar) in the substrate (s) is not particularly limited, and may be an organic material or an inorganic material, as long as the substrate (s) has the anti-reflection layer (ar) on at least one surface. Examples of the organic material include thermoplastic resins such as acrylic resin, polycarbonate resin, polyester resin, styrene resin, acryl-styrene copolymer resin, cellulose resin, polyolefin resin, and vinyl-based resin (polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, vinylbenzyl chloride-based resin, polyvinyl alcohol, and the like), and thermosetting resins such as phenol resin, urea resin, melamine resin, epoxy resin, unsaturated polyester, silicone resin, and urethane resin. Examples of the inorganic material include metals such as iron, silicon, copper, zinc, and aluminum, and an alloy containing such a metal, ceramics, and glass.

The laminate of the present invention can be preferably used for, for example, a spectacle lens. In this case, the substrate (s) is preferably glass layer (sg) or a resin layer (sp) on which the anti-reflection layer (ar) is formed. The anti-reflection layer (ar) is preferably formed at least on the intermediate layer (c) side. For the resin layer (sp), allyl diglycol carbonate resin, polycarbonate resin, thiourethane resin, episulfide resin, or the like can be used. A primer layer and/or a hard coat layer may be formed between the anti-reflection layer (ar), and the glass layer (sg) or the resin layer (sp).

The primer layer enhances adhesiveness of two laminated layers between which the primer layer is placed, and a known material can be used for the primer layer.

The hard coat layer imparts scratch resistance to the glass layer (sp) or the resin layer (sg), and indicates a hardness not less than H of a pencil hardness according to a test method defined in JIS K5600. As the hard coat layer, a known hard coat layer can be used, and examples of the hard coat layer include organic hard coat layers, inorganic hard coat layers, and organic-inorganic hybrid hard coat layers.

The anti-reflection layer (ar) functions to prevent incident light from being reflected, and the anti-reflection layer (ar) exhibits reflection characteristics in which a reflectance is reduced to be about not larger than 5.0% in a 530 nm visible light region. The reflectance of the anti-reflection layer (ar) can also be measured via the (2-i) or (2-ii) method as described above for the reflectance measured on the surface on the water-repellent layer (r) side. The structure of the anti-reflection layer (ar) is not particularly limited, and may be a monolayer structure or multilayer structure. In the case of the multilayer structure, preferably, low refractive index layers and high refractive index layers are alternately laminated. Examples of a material of the high refractive index layer include oxides of titanium, zirconium, aluminum, tantalum, and lanthanum. Examples of a material of the low refractive index layer include silica. The anti-reflection layer (ar) having a multilayer structure is preferably structured such that SiO₂ and ZrO₂ are alternately laminated, and the outermost layer on the side opposite to the glass layer (sg) or the resin layer (sp) side is SiO₂. The anti-reflection layer (ar) can be formed by, for example, a vapor deposition method.

A thickness of the substrate (s) is, for example, 0.9 to 10 mm. When the thickness of the substrate (s) is not uniform, it is preferable that the thickness of the substrate (s) at the centroid is in the above-described range.

2. Intermediate Layer (c)

The intermediate layer (c) is a cured layer of a mixture composition (cc) of an organosilicon compound (C) or a vapor deposition layer of the organosilicon compound (C), the organosilicon compound (C) contains a silicon atom together with an amino group or an amine skeleton (—NR¹⁰⁰—, and R¹⁰⁰ represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group), and the intermediate layer (c) has an amino group or an amine skeleton. In a preferable mode, a hydrolyzable group or a hydroxy group is bound to a silicon atom in the organosilicon compound (C), and Si—OH groups of the organosilicon compound (C) or —SiOH groups of the organosilicon compound (C) generated by hydrolysis of the hydrolyzable group bound to the silicon atom are dehydration-condensed, and, therefore, the intermediate layer (c) preferably has a condensed structure derived from the organosilicon compound (C). The intermediate layer (c) can function as a primer layer of the water-repellent layer (r). Examples of the hydrolyzable group bound to a silicon atom of the organosilicon compound (C) include an alkoxy group, a halogen atom, a cyano group, an acetoxy group, and an isocyanate group. An alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a hydroxy group is preferably bound to a silicon atom of the organosilicon compound (C).

3-1. Organosilicon Compound (A)

The organosilicon compound (A) is a compound in which a monovalent group having a perfluoropolyether structure is bound to a silicon atom through a linking group or without a linking group located therebetween, and a hydrolyzable group is bound to the silicon atom through a linking group or without a linking group located therebetween. The water-repellent layer (r) is obtained by applying and curing the composition (ca), and has a structure derived from the organosilicon compound (A). As described above, the organosilicon compound (A) has a hydrolyzable group bound to a silicon atom (may be bound through a linking group located therebetween), and —SiOH groups (Si and OH may be bound through a linking group located therebetween) of the organosilicon compounds (A) generated by hydrolysis dehydrate and condense with each other, and the water-repellent layer (r) thus has a condensed structure derived from the organosilicon compound (A) in general. Examples of the hydrolyzable group include an alkoxy group, a halogen atom, a cyano group, an acetoxy group, and an isocyanate group.

The perfluoropolyether structure can also be referred to as a perfluorooxyalkylene group. The perfluoropolyether structure has liquid repellency such as water repellency or oil repellency. The number of carbon atoms contained in the longest linear chain portion in the perfluoropolyether structure is, for example, preferably not less than 5, more preferably not less than 10, and even more preferably not less than 20. The upper limit of the number of the carbon atoms is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, about 200. Furthermore, the monovalent group having the perfluoropolyether structure in the organosilicon compound (A) preferably has a perfluoroalkyl group at a free end.

The water-repellent layer (r) can be represented as a layer having the perfluoropolyether structure and a polysiloxane skeleton, and preferably further includes a perfluoroalkyl group. The water-repellent layer (r) preferably has a structure in which a monovalent group having a perfluoroalkyl group at a free end and the perfluoropolyether structure is bound to a part of silicon atoms of the polysiloxane skeleton. The presence of perfluoroalkyl group at the free end side improve water-repellency.

The number of carbon atoms (in particular, the number of carbon atoms in the longest linear chain portion) of the perfluoroalkyl group is, for example, preferably not less than 3, more preferably not less than 5, and even more preferably not less than 7. The upper limit of the number of the carbon atoms is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, about 20, and, also in this case, excellent water repellent properties are exhibited.

The perfluoroalkyl group may form a fluorine-containing group such as a fluoroalkyl group by binding to a hydrocarbon group and/or a group in which at least a part of hydrogen atoms in a hydrocarbon group is substituted by a fluorine atom, and examples of the fluoroalkyl group include CF₃(CF₂)_m—(CH₂)_n— and CF₃(CF₂)_m—C₆H₄ (in each of them, m represents 1 to 10 and preferably represents 3 to 7, and n represents 1 to 5 and preferably represents 2 to 4), and the fluoroalkyl group is preferably CF₃(CF₂)_m—(CH₂)_n— (m represents 1 to 10 and preferably represents 3 to 7, and n represents 1 to 5 and preferably represents 2 to 4). The perfluoroalkyl group is more preferably bound directly to the perfluoropolyether structure.

In the organosilicon compound (A), a monovalent group having the perfluoropolyether structure and a silicon atom may be bound through an appropriate linking group located therebetween, or a monovalent group having the perfluoropolyether may be bound directly to a silicon atom without a linking group located therebetween. Examples of the linking group include a hydrocarbon group such as an alkylene group and an aromatic hydrocarbon group, a (poly)alkylene glycol group, a group in which a part of hydrogen atoms in these groups is substituted by F or a substituent, and a group in which these groups are appropriately linked. The number of carbon atoms in the linking group is, for example, not less than 1 and not larger than 20, and preferably not less than 2 and preferably not larger than 15.

The hydrolyzable group has the effect of binding the organosilicon compounds (A) to each other or bind the organosilicon compound (A) and active hydrogen (such as hydroxy group) on the surface of the substrate, through hydrolysis and dehydration-condensation reaction. Examples of such a hydrolyzable group include an alkoxy group (in particular, an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms), a hydroxy group, an acetoxy group, and a halogen atom (in particular, chlorine atom). The hydrolyzable group is preferably an alkoxy group and a halogen atom, and is particularly preferably a methoxy group, an ethoxy group, and a chlorine atom.

The hydrolyzable group may be bound to a silicon atom through a linking group located therebetween, or may be bound directly to a silicon atom without a linking group located therebetween. The number of the hydrolyzable groups to be bound to a silicon atom may be not less than 1, or may be 2 or 3. However, the number thereof is preferably 2 or 3 and particularly preferably 3. When two or more hydrolyzable groups are bound to a silicon atom, different hydrolyzable groups may be bound to a silicon atom. However, the same hydrolyzable groups are preferably bound to a silicon atom. The total of the number of fluorine-containing groups to be bound to a silicon atom and the number of hydrolyzable groups to be bound to the silicon atom is 4 in general, but may be 2 or 3 (in particular, 3). When the total number is not larger than 3, a monovalent group other than a hydrolyzable group may be bound to a remaining bond, and, for example, an alkyl group (in particular, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms), H, NCO, or the like can be bound.

The mixture composition (ca) for forming the water-repellent layer (r) may have various additives mixed therein as long as the effect of the present invention is not inhibited, and examples of the additive include a silanol condensation catalyst, an antioxidant, a rust inhibitor, an ultraviolet absorber, a light stabilizer, an antifungal agent, an antibacterial agent, a biofouling inhibitor, a deodorant, pigment, a flame retardant, and an antistatic agent.

A thickness of the water-repellent layer (r) is, for example, about 1 to 1000 nm.

In the laminate of the present invention, a ratio (absolute value of Sa(c)/absolute value of Sa(s)) of an absolute value of an arithmetic average height Sa(c) of the intermediate layer (c) before the water-repellent layer (r) is laminated, relative to an absolute value of an arithmetic average height Sa(s) of the substrate (s) before the intermediate layer (c) is laminated, is preferably less than 100%.

The hard coat layer as disclosed in Patent Literature 1 has a sufficiently low surface roughness (in the present invention, the surface roughness is evaluated based on the arithmetic average height) in general. Therefore, in a case where another layer is laminated on the hard coat layer, the surface roughness of the other layer is equivalent to or larger than the surface roughness of the hard coat layer on which the other layer has not been laminated yet, in general. Therefore, in a preferable mode of the present invention, the matter that the ratio (absolute value of Sa(c)/absolute value of Sa(s)) of an absolute value of the arithmetic average height Sa(c) of the intermediate layer (c) before the water-repellent layer (r) is laminated, relative to an absolute value of the arithmetic average height Sa(s) of the substrate (s) before the layer (c) is laminated, is less than 100%, means that the substrate (s) of the present invention has a surface roughness larger than the hard coat layer disclosed in Patent Literature 1 and the like, and simultaneously represents the preferable requirements that abrasion resistance of the laminate in which a water-repellent layer is laminated on a substrate having a surface roughness larger than the hard coat layer is enhanced.

The absolute value of Sa(c)/absolute value of Sa(s) is preferably not larger than 80%, more preferably not larger than 60%, even more preferably not larger than 40%, and particularly preferably not larger than 20%. The lower limit of the absolute value of Sa(c)/absolute value of Sa(s) is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 1%.

In a preferable mode in which, in the substrate (s) of the present invention, the absolute value of the arithmetic average height Sa(s) is larger than the absolute value of the arithmetic average height of the hard coat layer as described above, as long as the condition that the absolute value of Sa(c)/absolute value of Sa(s) is less than 100% as described above is satisfied, the absolute value of the arithmetic average height Sa(s) of the substrate (s) before the layer (c) is laminated is not limited, but is, for example, not less than 0.01 μm. The absolute value of Sa(s) is preferably not larger than 5 μm, more preferably not larger than 3 μm, and even more preferably not larger than 1 μm, and, furthermore, still more preferably not larger than 0.8 μm and particularly preferably not larger than 0.5 μm. The value itself (not the absolute value) of the arithmetic average height Sa(s) of the substrate (s) before the layer (c) is laminated is preferably a negative value. That is, a recess is preferably formed. The arithmetic average height Sa is calculated in accordance with ISO 25178.

When the laminate of the present invention is evaluated in accordance with a method described below in Examples, the water contact angle (initial contact angle) is, for example, not less than 105°, and more preferably not less than 110°, and is, for example, not larger than 125°. After a abrasion resistance test described below in Examples has been performed, a water contact angle (contact angle after abrasion resistance test) is preferably not less than 85% of the contact angle before the abrasion resistance test, more preferably not less than 90% thereof, and generally not larger than 110% thereof.

When the laminate of the present invention is evaluated in accordance with a method described below in Examples, the sliding angle is not larger than 25°, preferably not larger than 20°, and more preferably not larger than 15°, and is, for example, not less than 2°. After a abrasion resistance test described below in Examples has been performed, a sliding angle is preferably not larger than 200% of the sliding angle before the abrasion resistance test, more preferably not larger than 150% thereof, and generally not less than 15% thereof.

Next, a production method for the laminate of the present invention will be described.

A first method for producing the laminate of the present invention includes (i) a step of applying the mixture composition (cc) to an anti-reflection layer surface of the substrate (s) having the anti-reflection layer, (ii) a step of applying the mixture composition (ca) to the surface to which the mixture composition (cc) has been applied, and (iii) a step of curing the mixture composition (cc) and the mixture composition (ca) to form the intermediate layer (c) from an applied layer of the mixture composition (cc), and form the water-repellent layer (r) from an applied layer of the mixture composition (ca).

As the method for applying the mixture composition (cc), a known method can be used, and a dip coating method is preferable.

Next, the mixture composition (ca) for forming the water-repellent layer (r) is applied to the surface to which the mixture composition (cc) has been applied and dried, whereby the intermediate layer (c) can be formed from the applied layer of the mixture composition (cc), and the water-repellent layer (r) can be formed from the applied layer of the mixture composition (ca). The intermediate layer (c) may be formed while the mixture composition (cc) is being applied or after the mixture composition (cc) has been applied, and formation of the intermediate layer (c) and formation of the water-repellent layer (r) may be caused to simultaneously progress. Examples of the method for applying the composition for forming the water-repellent layer (r) include a dip coating method, a roll coating method, a bar coater method, a spin coating method, a spray coating method, a die coater method, and a gravure coater method.

After the composition for forming the water-repellent layer (r) has been applied, the composition is left, as it is, at an ordinary temperature in the atmosphere for, for example, not shorter than one hour (and in general, not longer than 24 hours), to produce the laminate of the present invention. In the present invention, the ordinary temperature represents in a temperature range of 5 to 60° C., and preferably represents in a temperature range of 15 to 40° C. When the composition is left as it is at the ordinary temperature, the humidity may be 50 to 90% RH.

In a second method for producing the laminate of the present invention, the organosilicon compound (C) is vapor-deposited on an anti-reflection layer surface of the substrate (s) having the anti-reflection layer to form the layer (c), and the mixture composition (ca) is applied onto the intermediate layer (c) and cured, to form the water-repellent layer (r) from an applied layer of the mixture composition (ca). When the organosilicon compound (C) is vapor-deposited to form the intermediate layer (c), the organosilicon compound (C) as a single element may be vapor-deposited on the substrate (s), or a solid product (that is, the organosilicon compound (C)) obtained by removing a solvent from a mixture composition of the solvent and the organosilicon compound (C) may be vapor-deposited on the substrate (s). After the composition for forming the water-repellent layer (r) has been applied, the process may be performed in the same manner as in the first method.

Before the composition (cc) is applied or before the organosilicon compound (C) is vapor-deposited, the anti-reflection layer of the substrate (s) is preferably subjected to hydrophilization treatment. Examples of the hydrophilization treatment include corona treatment, plasma treatment, ultraviolet treatment, and ion cleaning, and plasma treatment and ion cleaning are more preferable. By performing the hydrophilization treatment such as plasma treatment, a functional group such as an OH group or a COOH group can be formed on the surface of the substrate. When such a functional group is formed on the surface of the substrate, adhesiveness between the intermediate layer (c) and the substrate (s) can be particularly enhanced. However, in a case where the laminate is used for a spectacle lens, the mixture composition (cc) is preferably applied or the organosilicon compound (C) is preferably vapor-deposited without performing the hydrophilization treatment on the anti-reflection layer of the substrate (s). Therefore, the hydrophilization treatment is preferably performed in a case where the laminate is used in usages other than spectacle lenses.

The laminate of the present invention can be preferably used as a front plate of a flexible display device, and the front plate may be referred to as a window film. The flexible display device preferably includes a laminate for the flexible display device and an organic EL display panel, and the laminate for the flexible display device is disposed on the viewing side with respect to the organic EL display panel, and is foldable. The laminate for the flexible display device may further include a polarizing plate (preferably, circularly polarizing plate), a touch sensor, and the like. These are laminated in any order, and the window film (that is, the laminate of the present invention), the polarizing plate, and the touch senor are preferably laminated in this order from the viewing side, or the window film, the touch sensor, and the polarizing plate are preferably laminated in this order from the viewing side. The polarizing plate is preferably disposed closer to the viewing side than the touch sensor is, because the pattern in the touch sensor is not easily viewed, and visibility of a display image is enhanced. The components can be laminated by using an adhesive, a tackiness agent, or the like. The flexible display device can have a light-shielding pattern formed on at least one surface of any of layers of the window film, the polarizing plate, and the touch sensor.

Thus, a glass substrate having the anti-reflection layer (ar) formed thereon was obtained as the substrate (s). The substrate (s) was immersed in the solution for forming the intermediate layer (c) by using a dip coater (type DC4300) manufactured by Aiden under conditions that a liquid immersion time was 10 seconds and a taking-up speed was 10 mm/second, to form a film.

Next, an anti-reflection coat (the anti-reflection layer (ar)) which was a multilayer film made of inorganic oxide (silica and zirconia) with a thickness of about 0.4 μm was formed on the silicone-based abrasion-resistance-enhancing hard coat (hard coat layer) by a vacuum vapor deposition method, to obtain a plastic spectacle lens as the substrate (s).
