Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process which improves the durability of a porous antireflective coating. More specifically, the present invention relates to antireflective coatings that are more adherent and abrasion resistant. Still more particularly, this invention relates to solid articles having a durable antireflective coating on at least one surface.
  • U.S. Patents Porous antireflective coatings have been disclosed in numerous U.S. Patents. Examples of such patents include U.S. Patents 4,273,826; 4,830,879, 5,116,644; 5,580,819 and 5,723,175.
  • U.S. Patent 4,273,826 describes the process of forming a thin glass film on a substrate, heating the film to cause phase separation and etching and leaching the film to preferentially dissolve one of the phases. This process results in a skeletonized surface film having a graded refractive index.
  • U.S. Patent 4,830,879 describes the process of preparing and depositing on a substrate a series of polymeric solutions of alkoxy compounds, each containing particles of increasing size.
  • U.S. Patent 5,116,644 describes the process of coating a plastic lens with a siloxane-containing solution having at least one oxide sol, curing and immersing the coated lens into an acidic or alkaline solution to dissolve the oxide particles. This process results in a non-uniform coating having a graded refractive index.
  • U.S. Patent 5,580,819 describes the process of applying a durable coating composition to a solid substrate, curing and treating the cured coating with an aqueous electrolyte solution for a time sufficient to produce a coating having graded porosity.
  • U.S. Patent 5,723,175 describes a method of imparting antireflective and anti- fogging properties to a substrate by applying a coating composition of inorganic metal oxide in combination with particular anionic silanes.
  • Antireflective coatings formed by the dissolution of components within the coating using various treatment chemicals may undergo further dissolution during use of the antireflective article.
  • chemical attack of such antireflective surfaces may result from exposure to acid rain and various cleaning agents which may be acidic or alkaline.
  • porous coatings have very poor mechanical strength and are particularly sensitive to physical contact, e. g., wiping with a dry cloth. Consequently, there is a need to improve the durability, i.e., the adhesion and abrasion resistance, of such antireflective coatings.
  • metal oxides and trialkoxysilanes in protective coatings has been disclosed in U.S. Patent 3,986,997.
  • a broad range of metal oxide particle sizes is disclosed without consideration of the need to match metal oxide particle size and coating composition compatibility with the surface being treated.
  • U.S. patent 5,467,717 describes a process for depositing an antireflective, hydrophobic and abrasion resistant coating on a substrate.
  • the hydrophobic coating is amorphous fluoropolymer dissolved in a perfluorinated solvent.
  • JP 61/36230 describes fluoropolymer coatings with improved adhesion comprising amorphous fluoropolymers and amino silanes in perfluorinated solvents.
  • Neither patent describes the use of perfluoroalkyl organosilane in coating solutions of amorphous fluoropolymers and perfluorinated solvent.
  • porous antireflective coatings are antireflective coatings having pores or openings in the coatings . Such pores may have resulted from the removal of coating components by methods such as etching, leaching and/or dissolving to produce pores of a size sufficient to render the coating antireflective or from the process used to produce the antireflective coating.
  • coatings formed by the sol-gel (solution- gelation) process are porous throughout due to voids present between the metal oxide particles.
  • the porous antireflective coating is one having graded porosity, i.e., the porosity of the antireflective coating decreases through the thickness of the AR coating along a path starting at a point on the top of the AR coating and proceeding to a point adjacent to the substrate to which the AR coating is applied. Stated another way, the density of the AR coating increases going from the top to the bottom of the AR coating.
  • Methods for producing antireflective coatings having a graded porosity are disclosed in U.S. Patents 4,273,826; 4,535,026; 4,830,879, 5,116,644; 5,572,086, 5,580,819 and 5,723,175, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein in toto by reference.
  • a further or second coating composition that is compatible with the antireflective coating and that comprises at least one metal oxide sol, at least one tetra [ (C ! -C 4 ) alkyl] orthosilicate and optionally a catalyst is applied to the porous AR coating.

  • Example 4 of this description preferably not more than 20% and most preferably not more than 10%.
  • the percent reflectance should not be less than 1.4% after applying and curing the second coating and subjecting the resultant coated surface to the Cleanability Test.
  • Procedures for making the surface of a substrate antireflective typically cause a significant reduction in percent reflectance, e.g., from 8 percent for an uncoated polymerizate of CR-39® monomer to a level at or below 2 percent for the AR coated polymerizate. This results in a reduction of the percent reflectance of 75 percent.
  • the process of the present invention may also be used to modify, i.e., increase or decrease, the percent reflectance of the AR coating to produce a desired reflected color.
  • a thickness of 50 to 75 nm produces a gold color (3 percent reflectance)
  • a thickness of 75 to 125 nm produces a purple color (1.5 percent reflectance)

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'améliorer la durabilité de surfaces antiréfléchissantes poreuses sans influer de manière significative sur le pourcentage de réflexion de la surface revêtue. Le procédé consiste à appliquer et à faire durcir une composition de revêtement «compatible» sur la surface antiréfléchissante poreuse, puis à appliquer et à faire durcir une composition de revêtement hydrophobe sur le revêtement «compatible» durci. La composition de revêtement «compatible» contient au moins un orthosilicate tétraalkyle, au moins un sol d'oxyde métallique et éventuellement un catalyseur. La composition de revêtement hydrophobe comprend un fluoropolymère amorphe, un organosilane de perfluoroalkyle et un solvant.
