Abstract: According to the invention, a durable hydrophilic adsorbed film is formed on the surface of a substrate including metals, glass, plastics and the like in which the substrate has a surface layer containing hydroxyl groups or imino groups. The film is formed by covalently bonding chemical absorbents of silane groups containing a pluralilty of chloro groups to the substrate surfaces. The substrate 1 such as glass or nylon is dipped and held in a non-aqueous solution containing fluorocarbon groups and hydrocarbon groups containing chemical absorbents of silane groups containing a plurality of chloro goups including SiCl.sub.4, Cl.sub.3 SiOSiCl.sub.3, HSiCl.sub.3 or Cl.sub.3 SiOSiCl.sub.2 OSiCl.sub.3. After taking out the substrate 1 from the solution, drying it in a low moisture or substantially moistureless atmosphere to remove said non-aqueous solvents, the substrate is exposed to the air. A hydrophilic adsorbed ultra-thin film is thus formed by a dehydrochlorination reaction.

Abstract: A medical member having active hydrogen groups such as hydroxyl, amino or imino groups at its surface, is dipped, either directly or after formation of an inner layer on its surface, into a solution. The solution is prepared by dissolving a surface active material, e.g., CF.sub.3 (CF.sub.2).sub.7 (CH.sub.2).sub.2 SiCl.sub.3 in a non-aqueous solvent. A dehydrochlorination reaction is brought about between active hydrogen groups at the surface of the member and SiCl groups of the surface active material, thus producing bonds ofCF.sub.3 (CF.sub.2).sub.7 (CH.sub.2).sub.2 Si(O--).sub.3over the entire surface. A fluorine-containing monomolecular film is formed, which is chemically (or covalently) bonded to the member surface and has a thickness at the nanometer level. Since the chemically adsorbed film is covalently bonded to the member or inner layer, it is chemically stable and difficult to separate.

Abstract: Disclosed is an ornament with a thin film formed on the ornament surface. The thin film includes a fluorocarbon-based adsorbed monomolecular film, and the thin film is covalently bonded to the ornament. By contacting the ornament with the non-aqueous solution containing a chlorosilane group at one end and a fluorocarbon chain at the other end, a reaction occurs between hydroxyl groups at the ornament surface and the chlorosilyl groups of the material having a plurality of chlorosilyl grounds.

A thin, fluorine-containing, monomolecular film thus can be formed on the ornament such that it is, chemically bonded to the ornament. The film is anti-contaminating, water-and oil-repelling, durable and does not spoil the intrinsic luster of the ornament.
