- sol-gel solutions anti-reflective multilayer system SiO 2 -TiO 2 alcoholic Si and Ti alkoxide solutions photocatalytic TiO 2 layer (Anatase) colloidal TiO 2 solution anti-microbial Ag-containing layer colloidal Ag solution
- the sol-gel solutions used have different viscosities. Often, however, this is in the order of magnitude of aqueous solutions and is therefore very low.
- the application of the layers takes place over the entire surface using common Application methods, such as dipping, flooding, spraying, spraying, pouring, brushing, rolling or spinning. As a rule, the layers are cured by a subsequent tempering step.
- WO 97/38810 A1 discloses a process for producing a sintered structure on a substrate, wherein a particle-containing liquid such as a sol-gel solution is applied to a substrate by an ink jet printer and the applied liquid is evaporated by a laser pulse to build a sintered structure in layers ,
- the WO 02/17347 A1 discloses a method for consolidating and patterning a sol-gel composition on a surface of a substrate, wherein a layer of a sol-gel composition is deposited on a surface of a substrate, an electron beam is directed to selected areas of the sol-gel film, to cure the sol-gel film and the uncured areas are removed with a solvent again.
- the EP 0 329 026 A1 to an ink-jet ink and printing method, wherein the ink comprises 90 to 99.9% by weight of an aqueous sol-gel medium, preferably a mixture of carrageenan and water, and 0.1 to 10% by weight of a colorant , and the ink represents a thermally reversible sol-gel ink that is a gel at ambient temperature and is a sol at temperatures between about 40 ° C and 100 ° C.
- the ink is applied as a sol to the substrate where it forms a gel upon cooling.
- the substrate used is almost exclusively paper into which the ink penetrates.
- US Pat. No. 5,970,873 relates to an imaging process comprising imagewise applying a mixture of a sol precursor and a liquid as a thin layer to a substrate and removing the liquid from the thin layer to imagewise form an insoluble, crosslinked, polymeric sol-gel matrix.
- An imaging element made by the process such as a lithographic printing plate, will also be described.
- the image area created in the sol-gel matrix therefore serves as a "negative" to which ink is applied, which is then transferred to a suitable receptor material to reproduce the image.
- the WO 99/33760 a method of providing an article with visually-visible patterns, wherein first at least a surface area of a substrate is masked, then at least one thin layer is applied to the masked and unmasked areas of the surface, and the mask is removed to produce the desired pattern.

- the sol-gel technology is mentioned, but no explanation is given how this can be done.
- the present invention is based on the object, in a development of the prior art, to provide a flexible, non-expensive and cost-effective method by means of which structures can be produced on a substrate in a simple manner. In particular, it should be possible to provide any substrate with a desired structure.
- the present object is achieved by a substrate according to claim 1.
- the present invention accordingly comprises substrates with a structured coating, wherein a sol-gel solution is used to produce the structured coating.
- structured is to be construed as broad as possible according to the invention and includes, for example, a pattern, logo, image (s), words, a marker, hatching, marking, labels, in one or more defined optical manifestations, functionalities or the like. This structure can be provided over the whole area or only part of the area on a substrate.
- sol-gel system i. a sol which forms a thin, preferably transparent, gel film after drying, which preferably hardens by baking / tempering.
- sol-gel layer in the present invention is intended to represent a layer prepared by a sol-gel method.
- nanosols can be used.
- the average particle diameter of such sols is in the range ⁇ 800 nm, preferably ⁇ 200 nm, particularly preferably ⁇ 100 nm.
- the sol-gel layer is based on one or more metal oxides and is preferably selected from at least one titanium, zirconium, silicon, aluminum, tin, boron or phosphorus oxide or mixtures thereof. Particular preference is given to containing silicon oxide, but it is also possible for other or further metal oxides to be present.
- metal also the semimetals, such as silicon and germanium, understood.
- sol-gel solutions for example, so-called classical sol-gel solutions are used according to the invention, in addition to a suitable amount of desired additives, a metal oxide precursor, a solvent, a minor amount of water for precondensation and a catalyst (acid or base ) or consist of.
- colloidal metal oxide solutions solutions of nanoscale metal oxide powders in water or other solvents are used; In some cases, traditional sol-gel solutions are also mixed with nanoscale metal oxide powders.
- Solvents are usually water or an aqueous / organic solvent, such as, for example, ethanol or acetone. Long-term stable sol-gel solutions may also be stored in purely organic solvents.
- sols are clear and stable solutions with solids contents typically in the range of about 1 to about 30 weight percent.
- the metal oxide contents can also be significantly higher.
- a part of the solvent is evaporated, whereby the particles chemically or physically aggregate and a three-dimensional crosslinking (gelation) takes place. After complete evaporation of the solvent results in a solvent-free coating of a porous sol-gel layer, which under the influence of higher temperatures further networked and thereby hardened and compacted.
- the sol-gel matrix can also be modified chemically in any manner by co-hydrolysis or co-condensation. These modifications are known to the person skilled in the art. Such organically modified sol-gel compounds are known, for example, under the brand ORMOCER® ®.

- the tampon and gravure are mentioned here, as they are particularly well suited for the processing of low-viscosity liquids.
- the sol-gel solution which is converted to the sol-gel layer can be applied directly in structured form:
- Structured liquid coatings can generally be applied to the substrate using known printing technologies, but so far this has not been known for sol-gel solutions used to make functional layers.
- Conventional sol-gel solutions dry very quickly, which can cause great difficulties in printing techniques. Without a modification of the solution, especially the solvents, many methods are unusable because the coating reacts on the transfer medium or in the printing nozzles. It is important that no / hardly any condensation reactions take place during the printing process.
- the present invention now provides ways in which - in contrast to the prior art - known printing technologies can be used, whereby the above problems are minimized or completely avoided.
- sol-gel solutions tailor-made for the special printing technology, which includes, for example, a modification of the viscosity of the solution and / or a suitable choice of the solvent, is the first to be used hitherto unavailable printing technologies accessible.
- a highly viscous sol-gel solution can be used for screen printing.
- sol-gel solutions generally have a comparatively low viscosity
- tampon and intaglio printing in particular are suitable for the production of structured coated articles.
- the application of the sol-gel solution in already structured form according to the process (a) according to the invention is therefore carried out on the substrate, preferably with a low-viscosity sol-gel solution using a known printing process.

- thickening additives are added and a highly viscous, sufficiently thixotropic sol-gel solution is obtained, the application of the structured coating is also possible by means of screen printing or other printing techniques, such as offset, pad and pad printing.
- a "high-viscosity”, “sufficiently thixotropic” sol-gel solution is understood here to mean that the viscosity-in the absence of shear forces-is above a limit of about 10 3 mPa s, in particular about 10 4 to 10 6 mPa s.
- Thixotropy refers to the property of a non-Newtonian fluid to exhibit a lower viscosity after shearing and to rebuild at rest.
- the sol-gel layer can be applied over the entire surface of the substrate and subsequently structured in further working steps:
- these can be applied directly to the substrate as positive coatings at the points of the layer to be structured (process variant (b1) according to the invention).
- processing variant (b1) according to the invention.
- screen printable Coating used.
- the application of the Abdecklacks can already be done preferably in a structured form.
- a photoresist is used.
- the structuring can also take place after a full-area application of the photoresist in a second step with the aid of an exposure step and subsequent removal of the areas not to be lacquered. Subsequently, the full surface coating of the prepared substrate is carried out using the sol-gel solution.
- (screen) printable paints is preferred over that of photo-resists because they are significantly less expensive and their application is associated with a significantly lower cost.
- solvent or dispersant or solvent mixture suitable for such a process can be used as solvent or dispersant for the sol-gel solution of all processes according to the invention.
- examples are water and alcohols, for example ethanol, or alcohol-water mixtures.

- the (preferred) layer thicknesses vary greatly. If only a few monolayers are deposited on the substrate in the case of an easy-to-clean layer, ie the layer thickness moves here in the nm range, it may be preferred if pigment-filled, decorative sol-gel layers are opaque. This is achieved, for example, with layer thicknesses of at least 10 ⁇ m or significantly higher.
- a fully or partially coated layer is to be applied, it is preferably applied by a spraying or dipping method, wherein all other methods known to the person skilled in the art may also be used, e.g. a spin, roll coating (rolling), brushing, pouring or knife coating.

- the drying time is generally in the range of a few minutes to 1 or more days. In some applications, the quality of the layers thus formed is sufficient, so that no further production step for baking is required. -No preferred drying times can be specified, since these can be very different depending on the application.
- the dried sol-gel layer is subsequently baked.
- a "burn-in" according to variant (b1) in the context of the invention means that the dried sol-gel layer is converted into its final form by chemical reaction, sintering and / or stimulation of diffusion processes.

- Coating lacquers generally can not be exposed to the temperatures necessary for curing the sol-gel layers, so that they are removed before stoving.
- Baking has the advantage that the mechanical and chemical resistance of the layer increases drastically. In some cases, the layer only gets its actually desired function by the burn-in. The coated article in these cases can be used only after the baking step in the respective application.
- Burning in can also specifically influence certain properties of the layer.
- the optical antireflection effect of SiO2 TiO2 -Wechsel Anlagensystemen is critically dependent on the refractive indices of the respective, present in the layer packet individual layers. This in turn is structurally dependent.
- the chemical structure varies depending on the choice of baking conditions.
- the anti-reflection effect of such coating systems inter alia, depends crucially on the conditions during the penetration of the layers.
- the sol-gel layer is preferably already converted into its final form, so that further post-treatment steps are not necessary.
- microstructures are generated which can be used, for example, in semiconductor components, and become visible to the naked eye, for example, only under a microscope.
- macrostructured regions for example coarse-structured, optionally large-area regions, are produced. This means that structures in the order of up to a minimum of about 50 to 100 microns (corresponding to about the width of a hair) can be made, so that always visible to the eye structures are produced.
- a transfer of such Microstructures on macrostructures would not be considered by a person skilled in the art due to the well-known special status of semiconductor technology.
- the evaporation of the solvent or drying according to process variant (b2) is preferably carried out in a temperature range from room temperature to max. 200 ° C until essentially all the solvent has been removed, being used as the solvent of the sol-gel solution, water, alcohol, all known in the art, especially common, preferably halogen-free, low (boiling point: up to 120 ° C) and high boiling solvent (Boiling point: 120 to 250 ° C) and mixtures thereof are preferred.
- the drying time is generally in the range of a few minutes to 1 or more days. Because of the diversity of the layers to be produced, the above information is only an example.
- the patterning of the resist can advantageously be effected by means of suitable (screen) printing methods, i. Applying the resist in structured form, or photolithographically, i. after application, done.
- the sol-gel layer is then removed at the exposed locations, for example with a suitable chemical etching solution.
- a suitable chemical etching solution may be, for example, an aqueous NaOH solution or an aqueous HF solution.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Substrat, umfassend zumindest eine voll- oder teilflächige makrostrukturierte Schicht, Verfahren zu deren Herstellung und deren Verwendung.The invention relates to a substrate comprising at least one fully or partially macrostructured layer, processes for their preparation and their use.
Zur Herstellung vieler funktioneller Schichten bzw. Schichtsysteme, insbesondere auf Gläsern und Glaskeramiken als Substratmaterialien, wird häufig die Sol-Gel-Technologie verwendet. Beispiele für solche Sol-Gel-Schichten sind:
Je nach Anwendungsfall weisen die eingesetzten Sol-Gel-Lösungen unterschiedliche Viskositäten auf. Häufig liegt diese aber in der Größenordnung von wässrigen Lösungen und ist damit sehr gering. Üblicherweise erfolgt die Applikation der Schichten vollflächig unter Verwendung gängiger Applikationsverfahren, wie Tauchen, Fluten, Spritzen, Sprühen, Gießen, Streichen, Walzen oder Schleudern. In der Regel werden die Schichten durch einen nachgeschalteten Temperschritt ausgehärtet.Depending on the application, the sol-gel solutions used have different viscosities. Often, however, this is in the order of magnitude of aqueous solutions and is therefore very low. Usually, the application of the layers takes place over the entire surface using common Application methods, such as dipping, flooding, spraying, spraying, pouring, brushing, rolling or spinning. As a rule, the layers are cured by a subsequent tempering step.
Eine besondere Herausforderung stellt die Strukturierung derartiger funktioneller Schichten dar, da die klassischen Druckverfahren, wie z.B. der Offset- oder Siebdruck, wegen der geringen Viskositäten der verwendeten Lösungen hier versagen. Jedoch ist die Herstellung von farbigen, transparenten Schichten auf Glassubstraten mit Hilfe der Digitaldrucktechnik bekannt. Hierbei kann beispielsweise von SiO2-Solen ausgegangen werden, die organische Farbstoffe enthalten.A particular challenge is the structuring of such functional layers, since the classical printing processes, such as offset or screen printing, fail here because of the low viscosities of the solutions used. However, the production of colored, transparent layers on glass substrates by means of digital printing technology is known. This can be assumed, for example, SiO 2 sols containing organic dyes.
Ferner gibt es zur Aufbringung von strukturierten Sol-Gel-Schichten im Stand der Technik bereits einige Vorschläge:Furthermore, there are already some suggestions for applying structured sol-gel layers in the prior art:

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, in Weiterbildung des Standes der Technik, ein möglichst flexibles, nicht aufwendiges und kostengünstiges Verfahren bereitzustellen, mit dem in einfacher Weise Strukturen auf einem Substrat erzeugt werden können. Insbesondere soll es möglich sein, ein beliebiges Substrat mit einer gewünschten Struktur zu versehen.The present invention is based on the object, in a development of the prior art, to provide a flexible, non-expensive and cost-effective method by means of which structures can be produced on a substrate in a simple manner. In particular, it should be possible to provide any substrate with a desired structure.
Die vorliegende Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch ein Substrat, nach Anspruch 1.The present object is achieved by a substrate according to claim 1.
Gegenstand der Erfindung sind auch 3 Verfahrensvarianten zur Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Substrats, das gemäß der Variante (a) die nachfolgenden Schritte aufweist:
- Aufbringen einer Sol-Gel-Lösung in strukturierter Form auf das Substrat nach Anspruch 7.
- Application of a sol-gel solution in structured form to the substrate according to claim 7.
Die vorliegende Erfindung umfasst demnach Substrate mit einer strukturierten Beschichtung, wobei zur Herstellung der strukturierten Beschichtung eine Sol-Gel-Lösung verwendet wird. Der Begriff "Struktur" soll erfindungsgemäß möglichst weit ausgelegt werden und umfasst beispielsweise ein Muster, Logo, Bild(er), Worte, eine Markierung, Schraffur, Kennzeichnung, Beschriftungen, in einer oder verschiedenen definierten optischen Erscheinungsformen, Funktionalitäten oder dergleichen. Diese Struktur kann vollflächig oder nur teilflächig auf einem Substrat vorgesehen sein.The present invention accordingly comprises substrates with a structured coating, wherein a sol-gel solution is used to produce the structured coating. The term "structure" is to be construed as broad as possible according to the invention and includes, for example, a pattern, logo, image (s), words, a marker, hatching, marking, labels, in one or more defined optical manifestations, functionalities or the like. This structure can be provided over the whole area or only part of the area on a substrate.
Als Grundlage für die Struktur dient ein Sol-Gel-System, d.h. ein Sol, welches nach dem Trocknen einen dünnen, vorzugsweise transparenten, Gelfilm ausbildet, der bevorzugt durch Einbrennen/Tempern aushärtet. Der Begriff "Sol-Gel-Schicht" soll in der vorliegenden Erfindnung eine Schicht darstellen, die durch ein Sol-Gel-Verfahren hergestellt wurde.The basis for the structure is a sol-gel system, i. a sol which forms a thin, preferably transparent, gel film after drying, which preferably hardens by baking / tempering. The term "sol-gel layer" in the present invention is intended to represent a layer prepared by a sol-gel method.
Hierbei können auch sogenannte Nanosole Verwendung finden. Der durchschnittliche Teilchendurchmesser derartiger Sole liegt im Bereich <800 nm, bevorzugt <200 nm, besonders bevorzugt <100 nm.In this case, so-called nanosols can be used. The average particle diameter of such sols is in the range <800 nm, preferably <200 nm, particularly preferably <100 nm.
Die Sol-Gel-Schicht basiert auf einem oder mehreren Metalloxiden und wird vorzugsweise ausgewählt aus mindestens einem Titan-, Zirkon-, Silizium-, Aluminium-, Zinn-, Bor- oder Phosphoroxid oder Mischungen hiervon. Besonders bevorzugt ist Siliziumoxid enthalten, es können aber auch andere bzw. weitere Metalloxide vorliegen. Im Rahmen der Erfindung werden unter dem Begriff "Metall" auch die Halbmetalle, wie beispielsweise Silizium und Germanium, verstanden.The sol-gel layer is based on one or more metal oxides and is preferably selected from at least one titanium, zirconium, silicon, aluminum, tin, boron or phosphorus oxide or mixtures thereof. Particular preference is given to containing silicon oxide, but it is also possible for other or further metal oxides to be present. In the context of the invention, the term "metal" also the semimetals, such as silicon and germanium, understood.
Als "Sol-Gel-Lösungen" werden erfindungsgemäß beispielsweise sogenannte klassische Sol-Gel-Lösungen verwendet, die neben einer geeigneten Menge an gewünschten Additiven einen Metalloxid-Precursor, ein Lösungsmittel, einen geringfügigen Anteil an Wasser zur Vorkondensation und einen Katalysator (Säure oder Base) enthalten oder hieraus bestehen. Weiterhin kommen kolloidale Metalloxid-Lösungen = Lösungen von nanoskaligen Metalloxid-Pulvern in Wasser oder anderen Lösungsmitteln zum Einsatz; in manchen Fällen werden klassischen Sol-Gel-Lösungen auch nanoskalige Metalloxid-Pulver zusätzlich beigemischt. Lösungsmittel sind üblicherweise Wasser oder ein wässerig/organisches Lösungsmittel, wie beispielsweise Ethanol oder Aceton Bevorzugt langzeitstabile Sol-Gel-Lösungen können auch in rein organischen Lösungsmittel gelagert werden. Diese Sole sind klare und stabile Lösungen mit Feststoffgehalten in der Regel im Bereich von etwa 1 bis etwa 30 Gew.-%. Die Metalloxidgehalte können aber auch deutlich höher sein. Zur Herstellung einer Beschichtung wird ein Teil des Lösungsmittels verdampft, wodurch die Teilchen chemisch oder physikalisch aggregieren und eine dreidimensionale Vernetzung (Gelierung) stattfindet.. Nach vollständigem Verdampfen des Lösungsmittels resultiert eine lösungsmittelfreie Beschichtung einer porösen Sol-Gel-Schicht, die unter Einwirkung höherer Temperaturen weiter vernetzt und dadurch aushärtet und verdichtet.As "sol-gel solutions", for example, so-called classical sol-gel solutions are used according to the invention, in addition to a suitable amount of desired additives, a metal oxide precursor, a solvent, a minor amount of water for precondensation and a catalyst (acid or base ) or consist of. Furthermore, colloidal metal oxide solutions = solutions of nanoscale metal oxide powders in water or other solvents are used; In some cases, traditional sol-gel solutions are also mixed with nanoscale metal oxide powders. Solvents are usually water or an aqueous / organic solvent, such as, for example, ethanol or acetone. Long-term stable sol-gel solutions may also be stored in purely organic solvents. These sols are clear and stable solutions with solids contents typically in the range of about 1 to about 30 weight percent. The metal oxide contents can also be significantly higher. To produce a coating, a part of the solvent is evaporated, whereby the particles chemically or physically aggregate and a three-dimensional crosslinking (gelation) takes place. After complete evaporation of the solvent results in a solvent-free coating of a porous sol-gel layer, which under the influence of higher temperatures further networked and thereby hardened and compacted.
Die Sol-Gel-Matrix kann auch in beliebiger Weise chemisch durch Co-Hydrolyse oder Co-Kondensation modifiziert werden. Diese Modifikationen sind dem Fachmann bekannt. Derartige organisch modifizierte Sol-Gel-Verbindungen sind beispielsweise unter der Marke ORMOCER® bekannt geworden.The sol-gel matrix can also be modified chemically in any manner by co-hydrolysis or co-condensation. These modifications are known to the person skilled in the art. Such organically modified sol-gel compounds are known, for example, under the brand ORMOCER® ®.
Prinzipiell kann die Sol-Gel-Beschichtung direkt in strukturierter Form gemäß der erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrensvariante (a) unter Verwendung verschiedener Drucktechniken erfolgen. Insbesondere sind hier der Tampon- und der Tiefdruck zu nennen, da diese sich für die Verarbeitung von niederviskosen Flüssigkeiten besonders gut eignen.In principle, the sol-gel coating can be carried out directly in structured form according to process variant (a) according to the invention using various printing techniques. In particular, the tampon and gravure are mentioned here, as they are particularly well suited for the processing of low-viscosity liquids.
Darüber hinaus ist eine Vollflächenbeschichtung des Gegenstands möglich, wobei die Strukturierung dieser Beschichtung in weiteren Arbeitsgängen in der Regel unter Verwendung von Abdecklacken gemäß der erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrensvarianten (b1) und (b2) erfolgt.In addition, a full surface coating of the article is possible, wherein the structuring of this coating in further operations is usually carried out using Abdecklacken according to the inventive process variants (b1) and (b2).
Nach einer ersten erfindungsgemäßen Variante (a) kann bei den Substraten die Sol-Gel-Lösung, die zur Sol-Gel-Schicht umgewandelt wird, direkt in strukturierter Form aufgebracht werden:According to a first variant (a) according to the invention, in the case of the substrates the sol-gel solution which is converted to the sol-gel layer can be applied directly in structured form:
Strukturierte Flüssigbeschichtungen lassen sich generell unter Verwendung der bekannten Drucktechnologien auf das Substrat aufbringen, jedoch war dies bisher nicht für Sol-Gel-Lösungen bekannt, die zur Herstellung funktioneller Schichten eingesetzt werden. Herkömmliche Sol-Gel-Lösungen trocknen sehr schnell, was große Schwierigkeiten bei Drucktechniken verursachen kann. Ohne eine Modifizierung der Lösung, besonders der Lösungsmittel sind viele Verfahren nicht nutzbar, da die Beschichtung auf dem Übertragungsmedium oder in den Druckdüsen reagiert. Es ist wichtig, dass während des Druckvorgangs keine/kaum Kondensationsreaktionen stattfinden. Die vorliegende Erfindung stellt nun Wege bereit, womit - im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik - auch bekannte Drucktechnologien verwendet werden können, wobei die obigen Probleme auf ein Mindestmaß herabgesetzt oder gänzlich vermieden werden.Structured liquid coatings can generally be applied to the substrate using known printing technologies, but so far this has not been known for sol-gel solutions used to make functional layers. Conventional sol-gel solutions dry very quickly, which can cause great difficulties in printing techniques. Without a modification of the solution, especially the solvents, many methods are unusable because the coating reacts on the transfer medium or in the printing nozzles. It is important that no / hardly any condensation reactions take place during the printing process. The present invention now provides ways in which - in contrast to the prior art - known printing technologies can be used, whereby the above problems are minimized or completely avoided.
Durch den Einsatz von für die spezielle Drucktechnologie maßgeschneiderten Sol-Gel-Lösungen, die beispielsweise eine Modifizierung der Viskosität der Lösung und/oder eine geeignete Wahl des Lösungsmittels einschließen, werden erstmals bislang nicht einsetzbare Drucktechnologien zugänglich. So kann beispielsweise in pigmentgefüllten Systemen eine hochviskos eingestellte Sol-Gel-Lösung für den Siebdruck verwendet werden.The use of sol-gel solutions tailor-made for the special printing technology, which includes, for example, a modification of the viscosity of the solution and / or a suitable choice of the solvent, is the first to be used hitherto unavailable printing technologies accessible. For example, in pigment-filled systems, a highly viscous sol-gel solution can be used for screen printing.
Da Sol-Gel-Lösungen in der Regel eine vergleichsweise geringe Viskosität besitzen, sind zur Herstellung von strukturiert beschichteten Gegenständen insbesondere der Tampon- und Tiefdruck geeignet. Das Aufbringen der Sol-Gel-Lösung in bereits strukturierter Form gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren (a) wird demnach auf das Substrat vorzugsweise mit einer niedrigviskosen Sol-Gel-Lösung mit einem bekannten Druckverfahren durchgeführt. Unter "niedrigviskos" wird in der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Viskosität im Bereich von etwa 0,1 bis etwa 104 mPa s verstanden.Since sol-gel solutions generally have a comparatively low viscosity, tampon and intaglio printing in particular are suitable for the production of structured coated articles. The application of the sol-gel solution in already structured form according to the process (a) according to the invention is therefore carried out on the substrate, preferably with a low-viscosity sol-gel solution using a known printing process. By "low viscosity" is meant in the present invention, a viscosity in the range of about 0.1 to about 10 4 mPa s.
Wenn strukturierte Schichten, insbesondere Substrate mit strukturierten, Schichten, beispielsweise dekorativen Farbschichten, auf Sol-Gel-Basis hergestellt werden sollen, kommen vorzugsweise auch pigmentgefüllte Farbformulierungen zum Einsatz, die eine Sol-Gel-Lösung beispielsweise als Bindemittel enthalten. Je nach Wahl des Verhältnisses von Pigment- zu Bindemittelanteil (incl. Lösungsmittel) sowie gegebenenfalls zugesetzter eindickender Additive kann bei der Formulierung dann eine sehr hohe Viskosität eingestellt werden. Derartige eindickende Additive sind beispielsweise Cellulose, Celluloseether, Stärke, Aerosile (pyrogene Kieselsäuren), Bentone, hydrophob modifizierte Polyoxyethylene, Acrylate, Polyurethane, Polyamide, Polyolefine, Rizinusöl und basische Sulphonate.If structured layers, in particular substrates with structured layers, for example decorative color layers, are to be prepared on a sol-gel basis, pigment-filled color formulations which contain a sol-gel solution, for example as a binder, are also preferably used. Depending on the choice of the ratio of pigment to binder content (including solvent) and optionally added thickening additives can then be set in the formulation, a very high viscosity. Such thickening additives are, for example, cellulose, cellulose ethers, starch, aerosils (pyrogenic silicas), bentones, hydrophobically modified polyoxyethylenes, acrylates, polyurethanes, polyamides, polyolefins, Castor oil and basic sulphonates.
Wenn eindickende Additive zugesetzt werden und eine hochviskose, ausreichend thixotrope Sol-Gel-Lösung erhalten wird, gelingt das Aufbringen der strukturierten Beschichtung auch mit Hilfe des Siebdrucks oder anderer Drucktechniken, wie Offset-, Hoch- und Tampondruck. Unter einer "hochviskosen", "ausreichend thixotropen" Sol-Gel-Lösung wird hier verstanden, dass die Viskosität - bei Abwesenheit von Scherkräften - über einer Grenze von etwa 103 mPa s, insbesondere etwa 104 bis 106 mPa s liegt. Thixotropie bezeichnet die Eigenschaft eines Nicht-Newtonschen Fluids, nach einer Scherung eine niedrigere Viskosität zu zeigen und sich bei Stillstand wieder aufzubauen.If thickening additives are added and a highly viscous, sufficiently thixotropic sol-gel solution is obtained, the application of the structured coating is also possible by means of screen printing or other printing techniques, such as offset, pad and pad printing. A "high-viscosity", "sufficiently thixotropic" sol-gel solution is understood here to mean that the viscosity-in the absence of shear forces-is above a limit of about 10 3 mPa s, in particular about 10 4 to 10 6 mPa s. Thixotropy refers to the property of a non-Newtonian fluid to exhibit a lower viscosity after shearing and to rebuild at rest.

Nach weiteren erfindungsgemäßen Varianten (b1) und (b2) kann die Sol-Gel-Schicht vollflächig auf das Substrat aufgebracht und anschließend in weiteren Arbeitsschritten strukturiert werden:According to further variants (b1) and (b2) according to the invention, the sol-gel layer can be applied over the entire surface of the substrate and subsequently structured in further working steps:
Die Strukturierung von vollflächigen Beschichtungen gelingt in der Regel durch Verwendung von Abdecklacken. Diese lassen sich auf zwei verschiedene Weisen gemäß den beiden Verfahrensvarianten (b1) und (b2) der Erfindung einsetzen:The structuring of full-surface coatings usually succeeds by using Abdecklacken. These can be used in two different ways according to the two process variants (b1) and (b2) of the invention:
Nach einer erfindungsgemäßen Variante können diese an den zu strukturierenden Stellen der Schicht als Positivlacke direkt auf das Substrat aufgebracht werden (erfindungsgemäße Verfahrensvariante (b1)). Vorzugsweise werden hierbei (sieb-)druckfähige Abdecklacke eingesetzt. Hierbei kann die Auftragung des Abdecklacks bereits bevorzugt in strukturierter Form erfolgen.According to a variant of the invention, these can be applied directly to the substrate as positive coatings at the points of the layer to be structured (process variant (b1) according to the invention). Preferably, in this case (screen) printable Coating used. In this case, the application of the Abdecklacks can already be done preferably in a structured form.
Alternativ wird ein Fotolack verwendet. Hierbei kann die Strukturierung auch nach einer Vollflächenauftragung des Fotolacks in einem zweiten Schritt mit Hilfe eines Belichtungsschritts und anschließender Entfernung der nicht zu belackenden Bereiche erfolgen. Anschließend erfolgt die Vollflächenbeschichtung des präparierten Substrats unter Verwendung der Sol-Gel-Lösung. Die Verwendung von (sieb-)druckfähigen Lacken ist gegenüber derjenigen von Photolacken bevorzugt, da diese deutlich kostengünstiger sind und ihre Applikation mit einem deutlich geringeren Aufwand verbunden ist.Alternatively, a photoresist is used. In this case, the structuring can also take place after a full-area application of the photoresist in a second step with the aid of an exposure step and subsequent removal of the areas not to be lacquered. Subsequently, the full surface coating of the prepared substrate is carried out using the sol-gel solution. The use of (screen) printable paints is preferred over that of photo-resists because they are significantly less expensive and their application is associated with a significantly lower cost.
Als Lösungs- oder Dispergiermittel für die Sol-Gel-Lösung sämtlicher erfindungsgemäßer Verfahren kann ein beliebiges, für ein derartiges Verfahren geeignetes Lösungs- oder Dispergiermittel oder ein Lösungsmittelgemisch verwendet werden. Beispiele sind Wasser und Alkohole, zum Beispiel Ethanol, oder Alkohol-Wasser-Gemische. Für die Herstellung von Sol-Gel-Beschichtungen auf Siliziumoxidbasis können beispielsweise Alkohole, aber auch aprotische Lösungsmittel, wie Dioxan, oder wässerige Lösungsmittel Verwendung finden.Any solvent or dispersant or solvent mixture suitable for such a process can be used as solvent or dispersant for the sol-gel solution of all processes according to the invention. Examples are water and alcohols, for example ethanol, or alcohol-water mixtures. For the preparation of sol-gel coatings based on silica, for example, alcohols, but also aprotic solvents, such as dioxane, or aqueous solvents can be used.
Die erfindungsgemäß aufgebrachten Sol-Gel-Schichten, die in den erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrensvarianten (b1) und (b2) zum Einsatz kommen, haben vorzugsweise Schichtdicken im Bereich von 1 nm bis 100 µm, bevorzugt 1 nm bis 1 µm, insbesondere 1 bis 200 nm. Je nach Funktion variieren die (bevorzugten) Schichtdicken sehr stark. Werden im Fall einer easy-to-clean-Schicht lediglich einige Monolagen auf dem Substrat abgeschieden, d. h. die Schichtdicke bewegt sich hier im nm-Bereich, so kann es bevorzugt sein, wenn pigmentgefüllte, dekorative Sol-Gel-Schichten blickdicht ausgeführt sind. Dies wird beispielsweise mit Schichtdicken von mindestens 10 µm oder deutlich darüber erreicht.The sol-gel layers applied according to the invention, which are used in process variants (b1) and (b2) according to the invention, preferably have layer thicknesses in the range from 1 nm to 100 .mu.m, preferably 1 nm to 1 .mu.m, in particular 1 to 200 nm. Depending on the function, the (preferred) layer thicknesses vary greatly. If only a few monolayers are deposited on the substrate in the case of an easy-to-clean layer, ie the layer thickness moves here in the nm range, it may be preferred if pigment-filled, decorative sol-gel layers are opaque. This is achieved, for example, with layer thicknesses of at least 10 μm or significantly higher.
Wenn eine voll- oder teilflächige Schicht aufgetragen werden soll, wird diese bevorzugt durch ein Sprüh-, oder Tauchverfahren aufgebracht, wobei auch sämtliche andere dem Fachmann bekannte Verfahren einsetzbar sind, z.B. ein Schleudern, Roll-Coating (Walzen), Streichen, Gießen oder Rakeln.If a fully or partially coated layer is to be applied, it is preferably applied by a spraying or dipping method, wherein all other methods known to the person skilled in the art may also be used, e.g. a spin, roll coating (rolling), brushing, pouring or knife coating.
Erfindungsgemäß sind Sol-Gel-Schichten bevorzugt, die ganz spezielle Funktionen erfüllen, die für kommerzielle Produkte genutzt werden können. Das Trocknen gemäß Verfahrensvariante (b1) wird vorzugsweise in einem Temperaturbereich von Raumtemperatur (25 °C) bis 300 °C durchgeführt, bis im wesentlichen sämtliches Lösungsmittel entfernt wurde, wobei als Lösungsmittel der Sol-Gel-Lösung Wasser, Alkohol, alle dem Fachmann bekannten, insbesondere gängigen, vorzugsweise halogenfreien, niedrig- (Siedepunkt: bis 120 °C) und hochsiedenden Lösungsmittel (Siedepunkt: 120 bis 250 °C) und Mischungen hiervon bevorzugt sind. Die Trocknungszeit liegt im allgemeinen im Bereich von wenigen Minuten bis 1 oder mehreren Tagen. In einigen Anwendungsfällen ist die Qualität der so gebildeten Schichten ausreichend, so dass kein weiterer Produktionsschritt zum Einbrennen erforderlich ist.-Es lassen sich keine bevorzugten Trocknungszeiten angeben, da diese je nach Anwendungsfall sehr unterschiedlich sein können.According to the invention, preference is given to sol-gel layers which fulfill very specific functions which can be used for commercial products. Drying according to process variant (b1) is preferably carried out in a temperature range from room temperature (25 ° C.) to 300 ° C. until essentially all the solvent has been removed, the solvent of the sol-gel solution being water, alcohol, all known to the person skilled in the art , in particular common, preferably halogen-free, low (boiling point: up to 120 ° C) and high boiling solvent (boiling point: 120 to 250 ° C) and mixtures thereof are preferred. The drying time is generally in the range of a few minutes to 1 or more days. In some applications, the quality of the layers thus formed is sufficient, so that no further production step for baking is required. -No preferred drying times can be specified, since these can be very different depending on the application.
Nach Trocknung der Sol-Gel-Schicht wird der Abdecklack wieder entfernt. Dies kann durch mechanische Mittel, wie Abziehen, Abwischen, Abbürsten, chemische Mittel, wie Ablösen mit Hilfe eines Lösungsmittels oder Wasser, Säuren oder Laugen, oder durch Einsatz von pyrolytischen Mitteln geschehen.After drying the sol-gel layer of Abdeckschicht is removed again. This can be done by mechanical means, such as stripping, wiping, brushing, chemical means, such as delamination with the aid of a solvent or water, acids or alkalis, or by using pyrolytic agents.
In den meisten Anwendungsfällen wird die getrocknete Sol-Gel-Schicht anschließend eingebrannt. Ein "Einbrennen" gemäß der Variante (b1) bedeutet im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass die getrocknete Sol-Gel-Schicht durch chemische Reaktion, Sintern und/oder Anregung von Diffusionsprozessen in ihre endgültige Form überführt wird. Hierzu wird das Substrat mit der aufgebrachten getrockneten Schicht für eine Zeitdauer von 10 min bis zu 3 h einer Temperatur im Bereich zwischen Raumtemperatur und 800°C, bevorzugt zwischen 250 und 800 °C ausgesetzt.In most applications, the dried sol-gel layer is subsequently baked. A "burn-in" according to variant (b1) in the context of the invention means that the dried sol-gel layer is converted into its final form by chemical reaction, sintering and / or stimulation of diffusion processes. For this purpose, the substrate with the applied dried layer for a period of 10 minutes to 3 hours a temperature in the range between room temperature and 800 ° C, preferably between 250 and 800 ° C. exposed.
Abdecklacke können den zum Aushärten der Sol-Gel-Schichten notwendigen Temperaturen in der Regel nicht ausgesetzt werden, so dass diese vor dem Einbrennen entfernt werden.Coating lacquers generally can not be exposed to the temperatures necessary for curing the sol-gel layers, so that they are removed before stoving.
Das Einbrennen hat den Vorteil, dass sich die mechanische und chemische Beständigkeit der Schicht drastisch erhöht. In einigen Fällen erhält die Schicht durch das Einbrennen erst ihre eigentlich erwünschte Funktion. Der beschichtete Gegenstand wird in diesen Fällen erst nach dem Einbrennschritt in der jeweiligen Anwendung einsetzbar.Baking has the advantage that the mechanical and chemical resistance of the layer increases drastically. In some cases, the layer only gets its actually desired function by the burn-in. The coated article in these cases can be used only after the baking step in the respective application.
Durch das Einbrennen kann auch gezielt auf bestimmte Eigenschaften der Schicht Einfluss genommen werden. So hängt beispielweise die optische Entspiegelungswirkung von SiO2-TiO2-Wechselschichtsystemen (Anti-Reflex) entscheidend von den Brechzahlen der jeweiligen, im Schichtpaket vorhandenen Einzelschichten ab. Diese wiederum ist strukturabhängig. Die chemische Struktur stellt sich ihrerseits je nach Wahl der Einbrennbedingungen unterschiedlich ein. Somit ist die Anti-Reflex-Wirkung solcher Schichtsysteme u. a. entscheidend von den Bedingungen beim Einbrand der Schichten abhängig.
Hierdurch wird die Sol-Gel-Schicht vorzugsweise bereits in ihre endgültige Form überführt, so dass weitere Nachbehandlungsschritte nicht notwendig sind.Burning in can also specifically influence certain properties of the layer. For example, the optical antireflection effect of SiO2 TiO2 -Wechselschichtsystemen (anti-reflection) is critically dependent on the refractive indices of the respective, present in the layer packet individual layers. This in turn is structurally dependent. The chemical structure varies depending on the choice of baking conditions. Thus, the anti-reflection effect of such coating systems, inter alia, depends crucially on the conditions during the penetration of the layers.
As a result, the sol-gel layer is preferably already converted into its final form, so that further post-treatment steps are not necessary.
Im Gegensatz zu dem Verfahren gemäß der
Nach einer weiteren erfindungsgemäßen Variante ist das Aufbringen des Abdecklacks als Negativlack auf ein bereits vollflächig mit der Sol-Gel-Schicht versehenes Substrat möglich (erfindungsgemäße Verfahrensvariante (b2)).According to a further variant of the invention, it is possible to apply the masking resist as a negative resist to a substrate which is already provided with the sol-gel layer over the whole area (process variant (b2) according to the invention).
Das Verdampfen des Lösungsmittels oder Trocknen gemäß Verfahrensvariante (b2) wird vorzugsweise in einem Temperaturbereich von Raumtemperatur bis max. 200 °C durchgeführt, bis im wesentlichen sämtliches Lösungsmittel entfernt wurde, wobei als Lösungsmittel der Sol-Gel-Lösung Wasser, Alkohol, alle dem Fachmann bekannten, insbesondere gängigen, vorzugsweise halogenfreien, niedrig- (Siedepunkt: bis 120 °C) und hochsiedenden Lösungsmittel (Siedepunkt: 120 bis 250 °C) und Mischungen hiervon bevorzugt sind. Die Trocknungszeit liegt im allgemeinen im Bereich von wenigen Minuten bis 1 oder mehreren Tage Wegen der Verschiedenheit der herzustellenden Schichten sind die obigen Angaben nur beispielhaft.The evaporation of the solvent or drying according to process variant (b2) is preferably carried out in a temperature range from room temperature to max. 200 ° C until essentially all the solvent has been removed, being used as the solvent of the sol-gel solution, water, alcohol, all known in the art, especially common, preferably halogen-free, low (boiling point: up to 120 ° C) and high boiling solvent (Boiling point: 120 to 250 ° C) and mixtures thereof are preferred. The drying time is generally in the range of a few minutes to 1 or more days. Because of the diversity of the layers to be produced, the above information is only an example.
Auch hier kann die Strukturierung des Abdecklacks vorteilhafterweise mittels geeigneter (Sieb-)Druckverfahren, d.h. Auftragen des Abdecklacks in strukturierter Form, oder fotolithografisch, d.h. nach dem Auftragen, erfolgen. In einem zweiten Verfahrensschritt wird dann die Sol-Gel-Schicht an den frei liegenden Stellen, beispielsweise mit einer geeigneten chemischen Ätzlösung, entfernt. Eine derartige Ätzlösung kann beispielsweise sein: eine wässrige NaOH-Lösung oder eine wässrige HF-Lösung. Schließlich wird der Abdecklack wieder mechanisch, chemisch oder pyrolytisch - wie bereits beschrieben - entfernt.Again, the patterning of the resist can advantageously be effected by means of suitable (screen) printing methods, i. Applying the resist in structured form, or photolithographically, i. after application, done. In a second method step, the sol-gel layer is then removed at the exposed locations, for example with a suitable chemical etching solution. Such an etching solution may be, for example, an aqueous NaOH solution or an aqueous HF solution. Finally, the covering is again mechanically, chemically or pyrolytically - as already described - removed.
Vorteilhafterweise wird der Abdecklack, der entweder in strukturierter Form aufgetragen oder nach dem Auftrag strukturiert wird, nicht eingebrannt.Advantageously, the Abdecklack which is applied either in a structured form or structured after the order is not baked.
Als Abdecklack, insbesondere Fotolack kann jeder dem Fachmann bekannte Lack verwendet werden. Besonders bevorzugt sind Lackklassen, wie: Abdecklacke, Abziehlacke, photostrukturierbare Lacke (Flüssigresists, Trockenresists). Verwendbare kommerziell erhältliche Produkte sind beispielsweise: Abdecklack 80 2039 (Fa. Ferro), Wepelan-Abdecklack SD 2154 E (Fa. Peters), Abziehlack SD 2962 P (Fa.

Im folgenden sind einige Anwendungsbeispiele für strukturierte Sol-Gel-Schichten bzw. für Substrate, die hiermit versehen sind, aufgeführt:
- Ein Beispiel sind kostengünstige Anti-Reflex-Schichten (low cost AR): Diese können beispielsweise aus einem kolloidalen SiO2-So durch Tauchen gefertigt werden. Die Strukturierung der Schichten erfolgt vornehmlich in den Randbereichen der Substrate/Komponenten, um deren Einbau ins Gesamtsystem zu erleichtern oder gar zu ermöglichen.
- Anti-Reflex-Schichtsysteme können hergestellt werden: Bekannte Glasentspiegelungen für den sichtbaren Spektralbereich sind zum Beispiel AMIRAN- oder MIROGARD-Entspiegelungen der Schott AG: Es sind Interferenzfilter aus beispielsweise drei Schichten, wobei zunächst eine Schicht mit einem mittleren Brechungsindex, darauf eine Schicht mit hohem Brechungsindex, zumeist TiO2, und darauf dann eine Schicht mit niedrigem Brechungsindex, meist SiO2, abgeschieden wird. Bevorzugt ist daher in der vorliegenden Erfindung ein 3- oder 5-Schichtaufbau aus niedrigbrechenden SiO2- und hochbrechenden TiO2-Schichten im Wechsel. Gefertigt wird vorzugsweise aus Si- und Ti-haltigen Solen durch Tauchen. Flachglas mit diesen Beschichtungen wird beispielweise als Architekturglas oder als Verglasung in Bilderrahmen eingesetzt. Die Strukturierung des Schichtsystems dient vorzugsweise dekorativen Zwecken, wie z. B. dem Aufbringen eines Logos. Der gewünschte optische Effekt kann durch Strukturierung einer oder mehrerer Schichten des Systems, vorzugsweise der letzten Schicht des Systems oder durch Aufbringen einer zusätzlichen Schicht in strukturierter Form erfolgen.
- Ein weiteres Anwendungsbeispiel stellt eine farbige Unterseitenbeschichtung auf einer transparenten Glaskeramik dar: Es wird vorzugsweise ausgehend von einer pigmentgefüllten Sol-Gel-Farbe gefertigt. Die Farbe ist prinzipiell mit unterschiedlichen Viskositäten einstellbar, so dass neben den bereits beschriebenen Verfahren zum Auftrag von niederviskosen Sol-Gel-Lösungen, wie insbesondere Sprühen und Gießen, in geeigneten Fällen auch die Siebdrucktechnik zum Einsatz kommen kann. Unterseitenbeschichtete Glaskeramiken finden beispielsweise als Kochflächen Verwendung. Die Strukturierung der Schichten dient in diesem Fall der Displayfähigkeit sowie dekorativen Zwecken.
- Es können auch gefärbte, transparente Beschichtungen hergestellt werden: Hierzu wird vorzugsweise basierend auf einem Si-haltigen Sol, in dem organische Farbstoffe gelöst sind, gefertigt. Transparent gefärbte Beschichtungen dienen vor allem dekorativen Zwecken. Gleiches gilt für deren Strukturierung.
- Weiterhin sind auch photokatalytische Beschichtungen möglich: Beispiele sind TiO2-Schichten (Anatas), gefertigt aus einem kolloidalen TiO2-Sol durch Tauchen oder Schleudern. Die Schichten besitzen selbstreinigende Eigenschaften und haben aus diesem Grund einen sehr weiten Anwendungsbereich: Anti-Bakteriell, Anti-Virus, Anti-Schimmel, Anti-fungizid-, Anti-Algae, Anti-Fogging, Anti-Fingerprint-Schicht, Geruchsneutralisierung, Luftreinigung etc. Mit photokatalytischen Schichten versehen werden in diesem Zusammenhang beispielsweise Bodenfliesen, Fischzuchtbecken, rückstrahlende Verkehrsspiegel, Außenwände von Zügen, Architekturglas etc. Die Strukturierung der Schichten dient in diesen Zusammenhängen vornehmlich der Erleichterung der Einbaubarkeit der beschichteten Komponenten ins Gesamtsystem bzw. sie ist gar eine notwendige Voraussetzung hierfür.
- Erfindungsgemäß können auch anti-mikrobielle Beschichtungen bereitgestellt werden: Diese werden vorzugsweise aus einem Ag-haltigen, kolloidalen Sol durch Tauchen hergestellt. Derartig beschichtete Komponenten können in Kühlschränken Verwendung finden. Die Strukturierung erfolgt hier vornehmlich an den Rändern und kann die Einbaubarkeit der Komponenten ins System erleichtern bzw. eine notwendige Bedingung hierfür sein. Zusätzlich kann so die Menge der sehr teuren Beschichtung auf die relevanten Bereiche begrenzt werden.
- Weitere Beispiele sind easy-to-clean Beschichtungen: Hierzu werden Oberflächen von Gläsern und Glaskeramiken, beispielsweise in einer Silanisierungsreaktion mit längeren, perfluorierten Kohlenstoffketten modifiziert. Die Oberfläche erhält dadurch einen hydrophoben Charakter und wird durch die Absenkung der Oberflächenenergie sehr leicht reinigbar. Komponenten mit easy-to-clean-Schichten kommen vor allem im "White goods"-Bereich und dort vornehmlich bei "warm"-Anwendungen (Dauerbelastung bis 300°C) zum Einsatz. Konkrete Beispiele sind: Backofenscheiben, Backschalen, Kochflächen etc. Die Strukturierung der Schichten hat hier beispielsweise den Zweck, die Einbaubarkeit (zum Beispiel Kleben) des Substrats/der Komponenten ins Gesamtsystem zu erleichtern bzw. überhaupt erst zu ermöglichen.
- An example are low-cost anti-reflex layers (low-cost AR): These can be made, for example, from a colloidal SiO 2 -So by immersion. The structuring of the layers takes place primarily in the edge regions of the substrates / components in order to facilitate or even enable their incorporation into the overall system.
- Anti-reflective layer systems can be produced. Known glass reflections for the visible spectral range are, for example, AMIRAN or MIROGARD antireflective coatings from Schott AG. These are, for example, three layers of interference filters, with first a layer with a mean refractive index, then a layer with a high refractive index Refractive index, usually TiO 2 , and then a layer of low refractive index, usually SiO 2 , is deposited. Therefore, in the present invention, a 3- or 5-layer structure of low-refractive SiO 2 and high-index TiO 2 layers is preferably alternating. Is preferably prepared from Si and Ti-containing sols by dipping. Flat glass with these coatings is used, for example, as architectural glass or as glazing in picture frames. The structuring of the layer system is preferably used for decorative purposes, such. B. the application of a logo. The desired optical effect can be achieved by structuring one or more layers of the system, preferably the last layer of the system, or by applying an additional layer in structured form.
- Another application example is a colored underside coating on a transparent glass ceramic: it is preferably produced starting from a pigment-filled sol-gel color. The ink is in principle adjustable with different viscosities, so that in addition to the methods already described for the application of low-viscosity sol-gel solutions, in particular spraying and casting, the screen printing technique can also be used in suitable cases. Bottom-coated glass ceramics are used, for example, as cooking surfaces. The structuring of the layers in this case serves the display capability as well as decorative purposes.
- It is also possible to produce colored, transparent coatings. For this purpose, preference is given to using a sol containing Si in which organic dyes are dissolved, manufactured. Transparent colored coatings are used primarily for decorative purposes. The same applies to their structuring.
- Furthermore, photocatalytic coatings are also possible: Examples are TiO 2 layers (anatase), made from a colloidal TiO 2 sol by dipping or spinning. The layers have self-cleaning properties and therefore have a very wide range of applications: anti-bacterial, anti-virus, anti-mold, anti-fungicidal, anti-algae, anti-fogging, anti-fingerprint coating, odor neutralization, air cleaning, etc In this context, for example, floor tiles, fish tanks, retro-reflective traffic mirrors, outer walls of trains, architectural glass etc. are provided with photocatalytic layers. In these contexts, the structuring of the layers primarily serves to facilitate the installation of the coated components into the overall system or is even a necessary prerequisite therefor.
- Anti-microbial coatings can also be provided according to the invention: These are preferably prepared from an Ag-containing, colloidal sol by immersion. Such coated components can be used in refrigerators. The structuring takes place here primarily at the edges and can facilitate the installation of the components into the system or be a necessary condition for this. In addition, the amount of the very expensive coating can be limited to the relevant areas.
- Further examples are easy-to-clean coatings: For this purpose, surfaces of glasses and glass ceramics are modified, for example in a silanization reaction with longer, perfluorinated carbon chains. As a result, the surface acquires a hydrophobic character and is very easily cleaned by lowering the surface energy. Components with easy-to-clean coatings are mainly used in the "white goods" sector and are primarily used in "warm" applications (continuous load up to 300 ° C). Concrete examples are: oven panes, baking trays, cooktops, etc. The structuring of the layers has, for example, the purpose here of facilitating the installation (for example gluing) of the substrate (s) into the overall system or even making it possible in the first place.
Die Vorteile der vorliegenden Erfindung sind vielfältig:
Die vorliegende Erfindung stellt ein Substrat sowie Verfahren zu dessen Herstellung bereit, wobei die Vorteile der Sol-Gel-Technologie genutzt werden können, d.h. es können naßchemisch, bei geringem Aufwand und geringen Kosten strukturiert beschichtete Substrate bereitgestellt werden. Die Substrate sind nicht besonders beschränkt, besonders bevorzugt sind Glas- und Glaskeramik.The advantages of the present invention are many:
The present invention provides a substrate as well as methods for its production, wherein the advantages of the sol-gel technology can be used, ie it can be provided wet-chemically coated at low cost and low cost coated substrates. The substrates are not particularly limited, particularly preferred are glass and glass ceramics.
Die Sol-Gel-Technologie kann in unerwarteter Weise zur Erzeugung nahezu beliebig strukturierter Substrate eingesetzt werden, wobei auch niederviskose Lösungen verwendet werden können. Dennoch werden scharfe und nicht verlaufene Strukturen erhalten. Zudem kann die Viskosität der Sol-Gel-Lösung in gewünschter Weise eingestellt werden, so dass mit niederviskosen als auch hochviskosen Sol-Gel-Lösungen gearbeitet werden kann, wodurch für den jeweiligen Anwendungsfall die besten Ergebnisse erzielt werden.The sol-gel technology can be used in unexpected ways to produce almost arbitrarily structured substrates, although low-viscosity solutions can be used. Nevertheless, sharp and non-running structures are preserved. In addition, the viscosity of the sol-gel solution can be adjusted in the desired manner, so that it is possible to work with low-viscosity as well as highly viscous sol-gel solutions, whereby the best results are achieved for the respective application.
Zum strukturierten Aufbringen der Sol-Gel-Lösung kann auf bekannte Applikations- und Druckverfahren zurückgegriffen werden, so dass keine speziellen Apparaturen konzipiert und entworfen werden müssen.For structured application of the sol-gel solution can be made of known application and printing methods, so that no special equipment must be designed and designed.
Das Sol-Gel-Verfahren erlaubt eine wirtschaftliche Strukturierung auch von großen Flächen, wobei unter anderem auch auf wässerige Systeme zurückgegriffen werden kann, so dass die aufgebrachten Strukturen keine giftigen Lösungsmittel freisetzen, völlig inert sind und auch in Innenräumen unbedenklich verwendet werden können.The sol-gel method allows economic structuring of large areas, which can be used, inter alia, on aqueous systems, so that the applied structures release no toxic solvents, are completely inert and used safely indoors can be.
Durch die 3 erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrensvarianten kann eine geeignete Variante ausgewählt werden, wodurch eine höhe Flexibilität möglich ist.By the 3 variants of the method according to the invention a suitable variant can be selected, whereby a high degree of flexibility is possible.
Der Vorteil von derartigen mit einem Sol-Gel-Verfahren erzeugten Strukturen ist ferner die häufig erhaltene gute mechanische thermische und photochemische Stabilität, die Herstellungsmöglichkeit bei Raumtemperatur und, wenn gewünscht, eine hohe spektrale Transparenz. Ein weiterer Vorteil derartiger Sol-Gel-Schichten besteht in den meisten Fälle auch darin, dass diese keine Nahrungsquelle für Mikroorganismen darstellen, da sie sowohl toxikologisch als auch biologisch völlig inert sind. Bei der zu erzeugenden anorganischen Sol-Gel-Struktur handelt es sich im ausgehärteten Zustand um eine Struktur, die frei von Verunreinigungen ist. Diese ist daher auch für Verwendungen mit Lebensmittelkontakt geeignet.The advantage of such sol-gel fabricated structures is also the frequently obtained good mechanical thermal and photochemical stability, room temperature capability and, if desired, high spectral transparency. Another advantage of such sol-gel layers is in most cases also that they are not a source of food for microorganisms, since they are completely toxicologically as well as biologically inert. The inorganic sol-gel structure to be produced in the cured state is a structure which is free of impurities. This is therefore also suitable for uses with food contact.
Mit den erfindungsgemäß eingesetzten Sol-Gel-Verfahren ist es möglich, dünne, glasartige, optional farbige, Funktionsschichten in großer Vielfalt und Struktur herzustellen. Es lassen sich auf bestimmte Anwendungen bezogene, maßgeschneiderte Strukturen erzeugen.With the sol-gel method used according to the invention, it is possible to produce thin, glassy, optionally colored, functional layers in great variety and structure. It is possible to create tailor-made structures related to specific applications.
Die nachfolgenden Ausführungsbeispiele dienen der Illustration der erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren. Sie sind lediglich als mögliche, exemplarisch dargestellte Vorgehensweisen zu verstehen, ohne die Erfindung auf deren Inhalt zu beschränken.The following exemplary embodiments serve to illustrate the method according to the invention. They are to be understood merely as possible, exemplarily illustrated procedures, without restricting the invention to their content.
Kochfläche aus einer transparenten Glaskeramik mit einer displayfähigen, farbigen UnterseitenbeschichtungCooking surface made of a transparent glass ceramic with a displayable, colored underside coating
Eine displayfähige Unterseitenbeschichtung weist an jenen Stellen des Kochfelds Aussparungen auf, an denen sich elektronische Anzeigefelder und Leuchtdioden befinden. Die elektronischen Anzeigeelemente sind dadurch auf der Kochfläche besser erkennbar. Die Strukturierung der Beschichtung wird realisiert, indem das Kochfeld an den gewünschten Stellen zunächst mit einen Abdecklack maskiert wird. In der Regel wird hierzu ein ausreichend viskoser und thixotroper Lack (z. B. Wepelan-Abdecklack SD 2154 E der Fa. Peters, Abziehlack SD 2962 P der Fa. Peters oder Abziehlack 80 2039 der Fa. Ferro) verwendet, der mittels Siebdrucktechnik appliziert wird. Je nach Art des verwendeten Lacks ist es besonders zweckmäßig, wenn dieser vor den weiteren Arbeitsgängen eingebrannt wird (bei Temperaturen von max. 200 °C).A displayable underside coating has recesses in those areas of the hob where electronic display panels and LEDs are located. The electronic display elements are thus better recognizable on the cooking surface. The structuring of the coating is realized by first masking the hob at the desired locations with a resist. As a rule, a sufficiently viscous and thixotropic lacquer (eg Wepelan Abdecklack SD 2154 E from Peters, Abziehlack SD 2962 P from Peters or Abziehlack 80 2039 from Ferro) is used for this purpose, which is applied by means of screen printing technology becomes. Depending on the type of paint used, it is particularly useful if it is baked before further operations (at temperatures of up to 200 ° C).

Es entsteht ein sogenanntes "Kontrastdekor" (oder auch "Indirektes Dekor". Die Aufhebung der AR-Wirkung gelingt, wenn die letzte, d. h. die niedrigbrechende SiO2-Schicht an den gewünschten Stellen ausgespart ist. Dies wird durch Aufbringen des Si-haltigen Sols mit Hilfe der Digitaldrucktechnik im letzten Beschichtungsschritt realisiert. Die SiO2-Schicht wird direkt in strukturierter Form appliziert, es erfolgt keine Vollflächenbeschichtung mehr.In order to decorate an anti-reflective Mirogard glass with a logo, the anti-reflection effect of the AR 3-layer system is lifted at those points where the logo is to appear. The result is a so-called "contrast decoration" (or "indirect decoration"), where the last, ie low-refraction, SiO 2 layer is recessed at the desired locations by applying the Si-containing sol realized by means of digital printing technique in the final coating step. the SiO 2 layer is applied directly in a structured form, there is no more full-surface coating.
