Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An aspect of the present invention relates to a press-molding glass material, which comprises a core part comprised of optical glass and a silicon oxide film of less than 15 nm in thickness covering at least a portion of the core part, the portion being to be an optically functional surface, as well as has a surface free energy as measured by a three-liquid method of equal to or lower than 75 mJ/m 2 . A further aspect of the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a press-molding glass material comprising a core part comprised of optical glass and a silicon oxide film covering at least a portion of the core part to be an optically functional surface. The silicon oxide film is less than 15 nm in thickness, and film formation processing is conducted with a film-forming material comprised of SiO 2 in an atmosphere with an oxygen content falling within a range of equal to or higher than 5 volume percent but less than 20 volume percent to form the silicon oxide film on the above portion of the core part.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A press-molding glass material, which comprises a core part comprised of optical glass and a silicon oxide film of less than 15 nm in thickness covering at least a portion of the core part, the portion being to be an optically functional surface, as well as has a surface free energy that is given by the sum of a nonpolar component and a hydrogen bond component and a dipolar component as measured by a three-liquid method of equal to or lower than 75 mJ/m…
