Abstract

A silane coupling material according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is represented by the following general formula (1) and includes hydrocarbon groups having numbers of carbon atoms different from each other in A and B.

First claim

1 . A silane coupling material that is represented by the following general formula (1) and includes hydrocarbon groups having numbers of carbon atoms different from each other in A and B.

(A is any one of an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, and an alkoxy group each having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, a group in which carbon atoms other than carbon atoms at both ends of a carbon chain included in the alkyl group, the alkenyl group, and the alkoxy group are substituted with any one of an aryl group, a cycloalkyl group, and a cycloalkoxy group, or a group in which hydrogen atoms included in the alkyl group, the alkenyl group, and the alkoxy group are partially or entirely substituted with a fluorine atom; B is any one of an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, and an alkoxy group each having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or any one of the alkyl group, the alkenyl group, and the alkoxy group in which a carbon atom at an outermost end of a carbon chain is substituted with a phenyl group; and each of X 1 to X 4 is any one of an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, and an alkoxy group each having 1 to 6 carbon atoms.)

2 . The silane coupling material according to claim 1 , wherein a difference between the numbers of carbon atoms in the A and the B is 5 or more.

3 . The silane coupling material according to claim 1 , wherein a difference between the numbers of carbon atoms in the A and the B is 9 or more.

4 . A substrate comprising:
a portion of a molecular structure of a silane coupling material on at least one surface, the silane coupling material that is represented by the following general formula (1) and includes hydrocarbon groups having numbers of carbon atoms different from each other in A and B.

(A is any one of an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, and an alkoxy group each having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, a group in which carbon atoms other than carbon atoms at both ends of a carbon chain included in the alkyl group, the alkenyl group, and the alkoxy group are substituted with any one of an aryl group, a cycloalkyl group, and a cycloalkoxy group, or a group in which hydrogen atoms included in the alkyl group, the alkenyl group, and the alkoxy group are partially or entirely substituted with a fluorine atom; B is any one of an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, and an alkoxy group each having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or any one of the alkyl group, the alkenyl group, and the alkoxy group in which a carbon atom at an outermost end of a carbon chain is substituted with a phenyl group; and each of X 1 to X 4 is any one of an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, and an alkoxy group each having 1 to 6 carbon atoms.)

5 . The substrate according to claim 4 , wherein the one surface includes silyl groups that include hydrocarbon groups having numbers of carbon atoms different from each other.

6 . The substrate according to claim 5 , wherein the hydrocarbon groups having the numbers of carbon atoms different from each other include the A and the B.

7 . The substrate according to claim 5 , further comprising an inorganic oxide film on the one surface, wherein
the silyl groups that include the hydrocarbon groups having the numbers of carbon atoms different from each other are bound via an oxygen atom of the inorganic oxide film.

8 . The substrate according to claim 7 , wherein each of the silyl groups that include the hydrocarbon groups having the numbers of carbon atoms different from each other forms a covalent bond with the oxygen atom of the inorganic oxide film.

9 . A device comprising:
a first substrate having functionality, the first substrate including a portion of a molecular structure of a silane coupling material on at least one surface, the silane coupling material that is represented by the following general formula (1) and includes hydrocarbon groups having numbers of carbon atoms different from each other in A and B.

(A is any one of an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, and an alkoxy group each having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, a group in which carbon atoms other than carbon atoms at both ends of a carbon chain included in the alkyl group, the alkenyl group, and the alkoxy group are substituted with any one of an aryl group, a cycloalkyl group, and a cycloalkoxy group, or a group in which hydrogen atoms included in the alkyl group, the alkenyl group, and the alkoxy group are partially or entirely substituted with a fluorine atom; B is any one of an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, and an alkoxy group each having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or any one of the alkyl group, the alkenyl group, and the alkoxy group in which a carbon atom at an outermost end of a carbon chain is substituted with a phenyl group; and each of X 1 to X 4 is any one of an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, and an alkoxy group each having 1 to 6 carbon atoms.)

10 . The device according to claim 9 , wherein the one surface of the first substrate includes silyl groups that include hydrocarbon groups having numbers of carbon atoms different from each other.

11 . The device according to claim 9 , wherein
the first substrate includes a liquid crystal layer on the one surface, and the device further comprises a second substrate opposed to the first substrate with the liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween.

12 . The device according to claim 11 , wherein
the first substrate further includes an inorganic oxide film on a surface opposed to the liquid crystal layer, and the silyl groups that that include the hydrocarbon groups having the numbers of carbon atoms different from each other are bound to the first substrate via an oxygen atom of the inorganic oxide film.

13 . The device according to claim 12 , wherein the inorganic oxide film includes an alignment film.
