Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A copolymer includes a first group that is hydrophobic and a second group that is crosslinkable. Moreover, a glass substrate includes a coating of the copolymer, with interposition of a layer of silane including a functional group capable of reacting with the crosslinkable group. The glass substrate may be used as hydrophobic glazing for a transport vehicle, shower cubicle wall or easy-to-clean interior glazing.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A glass substrate comprising a coating of a copolymer of formula (I): in which: the R 1 group is hydrophobic, the R 2 group is crosslinkable, x, z and t>0 and y≧0 and x+y+z+t=1, n is an integer, with interposition of a layer of silane having a functional group capable of reacting with the crosslinkable R 2 group. 2. The glass substrate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the copolymer coating comprises inorganic fillers. 3. The glass substrate as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said inorganic fillers are silica nanoparticles. 4. The glass substrate as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the surface of said inorganic fillers exhibits a functional group capable of reacting with the crosslinkable R 2 group. 5. A method comprising utilizing a glass substrate as claimed in claim 1 as hydrophobic glazing for a transport vehicle. 6. A method comprising utilizing a glass substrate as claimed in claim 1 as shower cubicle wall. 7. A method comprising utilizing a glass substrate as claimed in claim 1 as easy-to-clean interior glazing. 8. The glass substrate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the R 1 group is a —(CF 2 ) m CF 3 group, with m=5, 7, 9 or 11, or a —OC(═O)CF(CF 3 )(OCF 2 CF(CF 3 )) p F group, p being an integer between 2 and 10. 9. The glass substrate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the R 2 group carries an epoxide, mesyl, tosyl or isocyanate functional group. 10. The glass substrate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the R 1 group is a —OC(═O)CF(CF 3 )(OCF 2 CF(CF 3 )) p F group, p being an integer between 2 and 10.
