Abstract

Disclosed is a plastic film exhibiting excellent physical properties including a high level of hardness, high scratch resistance, and low reflection. Exhibiting a high level of hardness, scratch resistance, impact resistance, low reflectivity, and high transparency, the plastic film can be used as a substitute for a cover plate made of glass or reinforced glass.

Claims (26)

1. A plastic film, comprising:

a support substrate;

a first coating layer, formed on one side of the support substrate;

a low-reflection coating layer, formed on the first coating layer; and

a second coating layer, formed on another side of the support substrate,

wherein, the first and second coating layers have a thickness of 70 to 300 μm,

wherein, each of the first and the second coating layers comprise a first photocrosslinked copolymer and first inorganic fine particles dispersed in the first photocrosslinked copolymer,

wherein, the first photocrosslinked copolymer comprises a photocurable elastomer comprising a polyrotaxane,

wherein, the low-reflection coating layer comprises a second photocrosslinked copolymer, and hollow silica particles dispersed in the second photocrosslinked copolymer, and

wherein the plastic film has a pencil hardness of 6H or more at a load of 1 kg.

2. The plastic film of claim 1 , wherein the first photocrosslinked copolymer further comprises a crosslinked copolymer of a tri- to hexafunctional acrylate-based monomer.

3. The plastic film of claim 2 , wherein the tri- to hexafunctional acrylate-based monomer comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), trimethylolpropaneethoxy triacrylate (TMPEOTA), glycerin propoxylated triacrylate (GPTA), pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PETA), and dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate (DPHA).

4. The plastic film of claim 1 , wherein the first photocrosslinked copolymer is a crosslinked copolymer of a tri- to hexafunctional acrylate monomer and the photocurable elastomer.

5. The plastic film of claim 4 , wherein the tri- to hexafunctional acrylate-based monomer comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), trimethylolpropaneethoxy triacrylate (TMPEOTA), glycerin propoxylated triacrylate (GPTA), pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PETA), and dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate (DPHA).

6. The plastic film of claim 1 , wherein the photocurable elastomer has an elongation of 15 to 200% as measured according to ASTM D638.

7. The plastic film of claim 1 , wherein the polyrotaxane comprises a cyclic moiety (macrocycle) in which lactone compounds with a (meth)acrylate moiety conjugated to the end thereof are bonded each other; a thread moiety held within the macrocycle; and stoppers provided at both ends of the thread moiety so as to prevent dissociation of the macrocycle.

8. The plastic film of claim 1 , wherein the second photocrosslinked copolymer is a copolymer in which monomers or oligomers containing a (meth)acrylate functional group, an aryloyl functional group, or a vinyl functional group is polymerized.

9. The plastic film of claim 1 , wherein the low-reflection coating layer further comprise a polyethersiloxane-based polymer represented by the following Chemical Formula 1:

wherein, R 1 and R 2 each are independently an alkyl group of 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an aryl group of 6 to 10 carbon atoms, an aralkyl group of 6 to 15 carbon atoms, a fluorinated aryl group of 6 to 10 carbon atoms, or a fluorinated aralkyl group of 6 to 15 carbon atoms; and n is an integer of 100 to 600.

10. The plastic film of claim 1 , wherein the hollow silica particles have a number average diameter of 20 to 80 nm.

11. The plastic film of claim 1 , wherein the support substrate is made of at least one selected from polyethyleneterephtalate (PET), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), a cyclic olefin polymer (COP), a cyclic olefin copolymer (COC), polyacrylate (PAC), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene (PE), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyetheretherketon (PEEK), polyethylenenaphthalate (PEN), polyetherimide (PEI), polyimide (PI), triacetylcellulose (TAC), MMA (methyl methacrylate), and a fluorine-based resin.

12. The plastic film of claim 1 , wherein the first inorganic fine particles comprise at least one selected from the group consisting of silica nanoparticles, aluminum oxide fine particles, titanium oxide fine particles, and zinc oxide fine particles.

13. The plastic film of claim 1 , wherein the first and the second coating layers each contain the first photocrosslinked copolymer in an amount of 50 to 90 weight parts and the first inorganic fine particles in an amount of 10 to 50 weight parts, based on 100 weight parts of each of the first and the second coating layers.

14. The plastic film of claim 1 , wherein the low-reflection coating layer contains the hollow silica particles in an amount of 50 to 250 weight parts based on 100 weight parts of the second photocrosslinked copolymer.

15. The plastic film of claim 1 , wherein the low-reflection coating layer ranges in thickness from 50 to 200 nm.

16. The plastic film of claim 1 , having a reflectance of 2.5% or less.
