Abstract

The present transparent molded body is a transparent molded body including a transparent substrate and an uneven layer composed of a cured product of an active energy ray-curable composition formed on at least one surface of the transparent substrate, wherein the uneven layer has an uneven structure having a gap between the adjacent convex portions equal to or less than the wavelength of a visible light, the water contact angle of the surface of the uneven layer is equal to or less than 25°, and the modulus of elasticity of the surface of the uneven layer is equal to or more than 200 MPa.

Claims (5)

1. A transparent molded body comprising a transparent substrate and an uneven layer composed of a cured product of an active energy ray-curable composition formed on at least one surface of the transparent substrate, wherein the uneven layer has an uneven structure having a gap between the adjacent convex portions equal to or less than the wavelength of visible light, the water contact angle of the surface of the uneven layer is equal to or less than 25°, and the modulus of elasticity of the surface of the uneven layer is equal to or more than 200 MPa.

2. The transparent molded body as described in claim 1 , wherein the active energy ray-curable resin for forming the uneven layer comprises a polymer composed of 10 to 50 parts by weight of tetrafunctional or greater polyfunctional (meth)acrylate units, 30 to 80 parts by weight of bifunctional or greater hydrophilic (meth)acrylate units, and 0 to 20 parts by weight of monofunctional monomer units.

3. The transparent molded body as described in claim 2 , wherein the bifunctional or greater hydrophilic (meth)acrylate units are polyethylene glycol diacrylate units wherein the number of the average repeating units of ethylene glycol: 6 to 40.

4. The transparent molded body as described in claim 2 , wherein the bifunctional or greater hydrophilic (meth)acrylate units are polyethylene glycol diacrylate units wherein the number of the average repeating units of ethylene glycol: 9 to 30.

5. An antireflective member obtained by using the transparent molded body as described in any one of claims 1 to 4 .
