PRIMER COMPOSITION, STRUCTURE INCLUDING PRIMER LAYER COMPOSED OF THE COMPOSITION, AND METHOD OF PRODUCING THE STRUCTURE
[Object] One object is to provide a primer composition composed of an amorphous carbon material and used for forming a primer layer that tightly binds with fluorine-containing silane coupling agent. A primer composition according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is composed of an amorphous carbon material containing at least one element of silicon, oxygen, and nitrogen.
1 . A primer composition comprising an amorphous carbon material containing at least one element of silicon, oxygen, and nitrogen.
2 . A structure comprising a substrate and an amorphous carbon film layer formed directly or indirectly on the substrate and containing at least one element of silicon, oxygen, and nitrogen.
3 . The structure of claim 2 wherein the amorphous carbon film layer is subjected to a plasma process with any one of nitrogen, oxygen, and a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen.
4 . The structure of claim 2 wherein the substrate is a mesh body used for a stencil printing plate.
5 . The structure of claim 4 wherein the substrate is a mesh body used for screen printing.
6 . The structure of claim 2 wherein the substrate is a porous sheet body.
7 . A stencil printing plate comprising: a printing mesh body; an amorphous carbon film layer formed directly or indirectly on the printing mesh body and containing at least one element of silicon, oxygen, and nitrogen; and a water repellent layer or a water- and oil-repellent layer formed on the amorphous carbon film layer.
8 . The stencil printing plate of claim 7 wherein the water repellent layer or the water- and oil-repellent layer is a thin film comprising a fluorine-containing coupling agent.
9 . The stencil printing plate of claim 7 wherein the water repellent layer or the water- and oil-repellent layer is a thin film comprising a fluorine-containing silane coupling agent.
10 . The stencil printing plate of claim 7 wherein the water repellent later or the water- and oil-repellent layer comprises: a first layer formed on the amorphous carbon film layer and composed mainly of a coupling agent capable of forming, with the amorphous carbon film layer, a hydrogen bonding and/or an —O-M bonding (M is any one element selected from a group consisting of Si, Ti, Al, and Zr) by condensation reaction; and a second layer formed on the first layer and composed mainly of a water repellent material or a water- and oil-repellent material.
11 . The stencil printing plate of claim 10 wherein the coupling agent is a coupling agent selected from a group consisting of silane coupling agent, titanate-based coupling agent, aluminate-based coupling agent, and zirconate-based coupling agent.
12 . The stencil printing plate of claim 7 further comprising an emulsion layer formed on the printing mesh body, wherein the amorphous carbon film layer is formed on the emulsion layer.
