Patent ID: 8211546

Claim:
A coated article comprising a transparent substrate selected from the group consisting of polycarbonate resins, polystyrene resins, acrylic resins, ABS resins, and vinyl chloride resins, and as a hard coat layer, a film of a coating composition cured thereto, said coating composition comprising (A) a hydrolytic condensate of an alkoxysilane, (B) silica colloid sol, and (C) a curing catalyst as essential components, wherein the alkoxysilane hydrolytic condensate (A) is obtained from hydrolytic condensation of a hydrolyzable radical-containing organosilicon compound comprising at least 10% by weight of a compound having the general formula (I): wherein R 1 to R 4 are each independently hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, alkoxy or aryl radical, R 5 and R 6 are each independently hydrogen, C 1 -C 10 alkyl or C 6 -C 10 aryl, R 5 and R 6 may bond together to form a C 3 -C 13 carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring with the carbon atom to which they are attached, the carbon-containing radicals of R 5 and R 6 may have a C 1 -C 5 alkyl, C 2 -C 5 alkenyl or C 1 -C 5 alkoxy substituted thereon, and Y is each independently a radical of the formula: wherein R 10 is C 2 -C 6 alkylene, R 11 and R 12 are each independently C 1 -C 5 alkyl, and n is 0, 1 or 2.
