Abstract

Provided are a coating film including a base film and a coating layer disposed on the base film, wherein the coating layer has a water contact angle of 100° or more and a water contact angle after scratching of 98° or more, and a display device including the coating film. Also, provided is a coating composition for producing the coating layer.

First claim

1 . A coating film comprising:
a base film; and a coating layer disposed on the base film, wherein the coating layer has: a water contact angle of 100° or more; and a water contact angle after scratching of 98° or more, wherein the water contact angle is defined as an angle between a surface of the coating layer and a boundary of water droplet (H 2 O) measured after dropping 5 μl of the water droplet onto the coating layer, and the water contact angle after scratching is defined as a water contact angle measured after cutting the coating film into a size of 100 mm×50 mm to obtain a coating film sample, fixing the coating film sample onto a flat surface using an adhesive tape such that the coating layer faces upward, and reciprocating a 20 mm×20 mm stainless steel (SUS) jig covered with #0000 (LIBERON Corporation) nonwoven fabric on the surface of the coating layer of the coating film sample 10,000 times at a load of 0.5 kgf and a speed of 45 RPM.

2 . The coating film according to claim 1 , wherein a difference between the water contact angle and the water contact angle after scratching is 10° or less.

3 . The coating film according to claim 1 , wherein the coating layer has a water contact angle of 100° to 120° and a water contact angle after scratching of 98° to 110°.

4 . The coating film according to claim 1 , wherein the number of scratches of the coating layer is 2 or less,
wherein the number of scratches is obtained by cutting the coating film into a size of 100 mm×50 mm to obtain the coating film sample, fixing the coating film sample onto the flat surface using the adhesive tape such that the coating layer faces upward, reciprocating the 20 mm×20 mm stainless steel (SUS) jig covered with the #0000 (LIBERON Corporation) nonwoven fabric on the surface of the coating layer of the coating film sample 10,000 times at a load of 0.5 kgf and a speed of 45 RPM, and counting the number of scratches by the naked eye.

5 . The coating film according to claim 1 , wherein the coating layer has a water contact angle after eraser wear of 95° or more,
wherein the water contact angle after eraser wear is defined as a water contact angle measured after cutting the coating film into a size of 200 mm×50 mm to obtain the coating film sample, fixing the coating film sample onto the flat surface using the adhesive tape such that the coating layer faces upward, fixing a Manaslu eraser to a jig, and reciprocating the jig on the surface of the coating layer of the coating film sample 1,000 times at a load of 0.5 kgf and a speed of 45 RPM.

6 . The coating film according to claim 5 , wherein a difference between the water contact angle and the water contact angle after eraser wear is 10° or less.

7 . The coating film according to claim 5 , wherein the coating layer has a water contact angle after eraser wear of 95° to 110°.

8 . The coating film according to claim 1 , wherein the coating layer has a curl of 2 mm or less based on a thickness of 10 μm of the coating layer,
wherein the curl is defined as a distance between an edge of the coating film cut into a square having a size of 100 mm×100 mm placed on a flat glass substrate, and a bottom of the glass substrate.

9 . The coating film according to claim 1 , wherein the coating layer has a crack point radius (R) of 1 mm or less based on a thickness of 10 μm of the coating layer,
wherein the crack point radius (R) is obtained by cutting the coating film to a size of 20 mm×100 mm to prepare the coating film sample, mounting the coating film sample on a radius bending tester such that the coating layer faces away from the bent coating film sample, and measuring the radius of curvature when cracks occurred in the coating film sample, while bending the coating film sample at a gradually reduced radius of curvature.

10 . A coating composition comprising:
a silane compound; and a polymerization curing aid, wherein the silane compound comprises: a first silane compound represented by the following Formula 1; a second silane compound represented by the following Formula 2; and a third silane compound represented by the following Formula 3, and the polymerization curing aid comprises: a diol; and water (H 2 O),

wherein R 11 is a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C5 unsaturated hydrocarbon group;
R 12 , R 13 and R 14 are each independently a C1-C5 alkyl group;
R 21 is a single bond or a C1-C4 alkylene group;
R 22 , R 23 and R 24 are each independently a C1-C5 alkyl group;
m is an integer of 3 to 10; and
R 3 is a C1-C4 alkyl group.

11 . The coating composition according to claim 10 , wherein a molar ratio of the silane compound to the polymerization curing aid is 1:1.2 to 1:1.8.

12 . The coating composition according to claim 10 , wherein the silane compound comprises:
80 to 90 mol % of the first silane compound; 1 to 5 mol % of the second silane compound; and 7 to 15 mol % of the third silane compound, based on the total number of moles of the silane compound.

13 . The coating composition according to claim 10 , wherein the first silane compound comprises vinyltrimethoxysilane represented by the following Formula 4:

14 . The coating composition according to claim 10 , wherein the second silane compound comprises at least one selected from 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluoro-octyltriethoxysilane, 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluoro-octyltrimethoxysilane, 1H, 1H,2H,2H-perfluoro-decyltrimethoxysilane and 1H, 1H,2H,2H-perfluoro-decyltriethoxysilane.
