Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A gas barrier film including a substrate film containing a resin, and a gas barrier layer that has oxygen barrier properties and is in contact with at least one surface of the substrate film, a surface of the gas barrier layer has a flat portion, and a plurality of protrusions that protrude from the flat portion. The number of protrusions that satisfy the following formula (1) is 0 to 200 per mm 2 , and the number of protrusions that satisfy the following formula (2) is 20 or more per mm 2 ; d×2≤f(1); and 0.2≤f<d×2(2), where d represents a thickness (μm) of the gas barrier layer, and f represents a height (μm) of each of the plurality of protrusions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A gas barrier film, comprising: a substrate film containing a resin; and a gas barrier layer that has oxygen barrier properties and is located in contact with at least one surface of the substrate film, wherein: a surface of the gas barrier layer has a flat portion, and a plurality of protrusions that protrude from the flat portion; and the number of protrusions that satisfy the following formula (1) is 0 to 100 per mm 2 , and the number of protrusions that satisfy the following formula (2) is 20 to 200 per mm 2 : d× 2≤ f   (1); and 0.2≤ f<d× 2  (2), where d represents a thickness (μm) of the gas barrier layer, and f represents a height (μm) of each of the plurality of protrusions. 2. The gas barrier film of claim 1 , wherein the protrusions that satisfy the formula (2) have a diameter of 0.4 to 10 μm in a cross section at a height of 0.2 μm. 3. The gas barrier film of claim 1 , wherein: the substrate film further contains an anti-blocking agent; and the protrusions are derived from the anti-blocking agent. 4. The gas barrier film of claim 1 , wherein the gas barrier layer is a film made of a coating agent containing a water-soluble polymer and an inorganic layered mineral. 5. The gas barrier film of claim 4 , wherein the coating agent further contains an aqueous polyurethane resin containing a polyurethane resin having an acid group and a polyamine compound. 6. The gas barrier film of claim 1 , wherein the substrate film is a polyolefin resin film, a polyester resin film, or a polyamide resin film. 7. The gas barrier film of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the gas barrier layer is 0.3 to 1 μm. 8. The gas barrier film of claim 1 , wherein the number of protrusions that satisfy the formula (1) is 3 to 92 per mm 2 ; the number of protrusions that satisfy the following formula (2) is 77 to 187 per mm 2 ; and the thickness of the gas barrier layer is 0.5 to 0.8 μm. 9. A gas barrier film, comprising: a substrate film containing a resin; and a gas barrier layer which is an oxygen barrier film formed by a wet coating method and is located in contact with at least one surface of the substrate film, wherein: the surface of the substrate film that is in contact with the gas barrier layer has a flat portion and a plurality of protrusions that protrude from the flat portion; and in a randomly selected region of 0.66 mm 2 or more on the surface of the substrate film in contact with the gas barrier layer, measuring a height of each of the plurality of protrusions by using a 3D measurement laser microscope, a thickness t(μm) of the gas barrier layer satisfies the following formula (3): 0.25× h+ 0.15≤ t≤ 0.8× h   (3), where h represents an average height (μm) of protrusions having a height of 0.3 μm to 1.5 μm. 10. The gas barrier film of claim 9 , wherein on the surface of the substrate film in contact with the gas barrier layer, the number of protrusions having a height of 5 times or more that of a thickness of the gas barrier layer is 10 or less per mm 2 . 11. The gas barrier film of claim 9 , wherein: the substrate film further contains an anti-blocking agent; and the protrusions are derived from the anti-blocking agent. 12. The gas barrier film of claim 9 , wherein the gas barrier layer is a film made of a coating agent containing a water-soluble polymer and an inorganic layered mineral. 13. The gas barrier film of claim 12 , wherein the coating agent further contains an aqueous polyurethane resin containing a polyurethane resin having an acid group, and a polyamine compound. 14. The gas barrier film of claim 9 , wherein the substrate film is a polyolefin resin film, a polyester resin film, or a polyamide resin film. 15. The gas barrier layer of claim 9 , wherein the thickness of the gas barrier is 0.4 to 1.0 μm. 16. The gas barrier layer of claim 11 , wherein the thickness of the gas barrier is 0.4 to 1.0 μm.
