Abstract

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a gas barrier plastic molded body which is excellent in gas barrier properties and transparency and a method for producing the same. A gas barrier plastic molded body 90 according to the present disclosure includes a plastic molded body 91 and a gas barrier thin film 92 provided on a surface of the plastic molded body 91 , and in the gas barrier plastic molded body, the gas barrier thin film 92 contains silicon (Si), carbon (C), and oxygen (O) as constituent elements and has a region, in a which a main peak is observed, at a peak appearance position of binding energy of Si—C when the gas barrier thin film is subjected to an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis under Condition (1). Condition (1): a measurement range is set to 95 to 105 eV.

Claims (17)

1. A gas barrier plastic molded body comprising a plastic molded body and a gas barrier thin film provided on a surface of the plastic molded body, wherein

the gas barrier thin film contains silicon (Si), carbon (C), and oxygen (O) as constituent elements and has a region, in which a main peak is observed, at a peak appearance position of binding energy of Si—C when the gas barrier thin film is subjected to an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis under Condition (1):

the gas barrier thin film has a gradient composition in a depth direction, and

when the gas barrier thin film is bisected in the depth direction so that an opposite side to the plastic molded body is regarded as an upper layer and the plastic molded body side is regarded as a lower layer,

wherein both the upper layer and the lower layer have a series of gradient compositions without any boundary between the layers,

an O content percentage represented by (Mathematical Formula 3) in the upper layer is lower than a Si content percentage represented by (Mathematical Formula 2) in the upper layer:

Condition (1): a measurement range is set to 95 to 105 eV,

Si content percentage [%]={(Si content [atomic %])/(total content of Si, O, and C [atomic %])}×100,  (Mathematical Formula 2)

O content percentage [%]={(O content [atomic %])/(total content of Si, O, and C [atomic %])}×100.  (Mathematical Formula 3)

2. The gas barrier plastic molded body according to claim 1 , wherein

a C content percentage represented by (Mathematical Formula 1) in the upper layer is higher than the Si content percentage represented by (Mathematical Formula 2) in the upper layer:

C content percentage [%]={(C content [atomic %])/(total content of Si, O, and C [atomic %])}×100.  (Mathematical Formula 1)

3. The gas barrier plastic molded body according to claim 1 , wherein

the gas barrier thin film has a gradient composition in a depth direction, and

when the gas barrier thin film is bisected in the depth direction so that an opposite side to the plastic molded body is regarded as an upper layer and the plastic molded body side is regarded as a lower layer,

a C content percentage represented by (Mathematical Formula 1) in the lower layer is higher than the O content percentage represented by (Mathematical Formula 3) in the lower layer:

C content percentage [%]={(C content [atomic %])/(total content of Si, O, and C [atomic %])}×100.  (Mathematical Formula 1)
