Abstract

The present invention provides an active energy ray-curable resin composition comprising at least a multifunctional monomer having three or more radical polymerizable functional groups in the molecule in which the cured product of the composition exhibits anti-reflective function because of an uneven microstructure formed on the surface of the cured product, and provides a product having the uneven microstructure having high decontaminating properties such as fingerprint removal properties and high scratch resistance.

Claims (20)

1. An active energy ray-curable resin composition comprising:

a polymerizable component (X); and

a photoinitiator (XE),

wherein the polymerizable component (X) comprises:

15 to 70% by mass of a multifunctional monomer (XA) which has three or more radical polymerizable functional groups in the molecule, a molecular weight per functional group of less than 110, and no terminal ethyl group;

15 to 50% by mass of a multifunctional monomer (XB) which has three or more radical polymerizable functional groups in the molecule, a molecular weight per functional group of 110 or more, and no terminal ethyl group; and

15 to 40% by mass of a bifunctional monomer (XC) which has two radical polymerizable functional groups and four or more oxyethylene groups in the molecule, and no terminal methyl group.

2. The active energy ray-curable resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polymerizable component (X) further comprises 15% by mass or less of a monomer (XD) having one radical polymerizable functional group in the molecule.

3. A material for imprint, comprising an active energy ray-curable resin composition according to claim 1 .

4. The material for imprint according to claim 3 , wherein the material is used for forming an uneven microstructure.

5. A molded article consisting of a cured product of an active energy ray-curable resin composition according to claim 1 or comprising a cured resin layer of an active energy ray-curable resin composition according to claim 1 .

6. The molded article according to claim 5 , wherein the molded article has an uneven microstructure on the surface.

7. The molded article according to claim 5 , wherein the molded article is a display member.

8. A method for producing a product having the uneven microstructure having a cured resin layer having an uneven microstructure on the surface, wherein the method comprises at least following steps:

1) disposing an active energy ray-curable resin composition according to claim 1 between a stamper having an inverse structure of the uneven microstructure and a base material;

2) irradiating the active energy ray-curable resin composition with an active energy ray to cure the active energy ray-curable resin composition, and

3) removing the stamper.

9. A product having the uneven microstructure having an uneven microstructure on the surface,

wherein the product having the uneven microstructure is formed by contacting an active energy ray-curable resin composition according to claim 1 with a stamper having an inverse structure of the uneven microstructure on the surface, and curing the active energy ray-curable resin composition.

10. The product having the uneven microstructure according to claim 9 , wherein the product having the uneven microstructure is an anti-reflective article.
