Abstract
The present film-former composition comprises (a) an organosilazane copolymer having a perfluoroalkyl group-containing structural unit and a methacryloyloxy group-containing structural unit, (b) a photosensitizer soluble in an organic solvent, and (c) an organic solvent. The composition is cured by irradiation with ultraviolet light for a short period of time to form a film excellent in water repellency, oil repellency, and hardness.
Claims15
A film-former composition, comprising:
- (a) an organosilazane copolymer comprising a structural unit of the formula [I]:
- [R.sup.1 (CH.sub.2).sub.m ].sub.a R.sup.2.sub.b Si(NR.sup.3).sub.(4-a-b)/2 [I]
- and a structural unit of the formula [IV]:
- [R.sup.4 (CH.sub.2).sub.n ].sub.g R.sup.2.sub.h Si(NR.sup.3).sub.(4-g-h)/2 [IV]
- wherein R.sup.1 represents a perfluoroalkyl group, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3, which may be the same or different, each represent a hydrogen atom or a monovalent hydrocarbon group, R.sup.4 represents an acryloyl or methacryloyl group, a and g are each an integer of 1 to 3, b and h are each an integer of 0 to 2, such that (a+b) and (g+h) are each an integer of 1 to 3, and m and n are each an integer of 2 to 5, provided that the structural unit of formula [I] and the structural unit of formula are contained in such amounts that the molar content ratio of the perfluoroalkyl group (R.sup.1) to the total of the hydrogen atom or monovalent hydrocarbon group (R.sup.2) and the acryloyl or methacryloyl group (R.sup.4) satisfies the following equation:
- R.sup.1 /(R.sup.2 +R.sup.4)=from 99/1 to 50/50,
- (b) a photosensitizer soluble in an organic solvent, and
- (c) an organic solvent.
The composition of claim 1, wherein sad organosilazane copolymer (a) further contains at least one unit of the formula [VII]:
- R.sup.2.sub.p Si(NR.sup.3).sub.(4-p)/2 [VII]
- wherein R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 have the same meanings as defined in claim 19 and p is an integer of 1 to 3.
