Patent number: 11970593Abstract: The present invention provides a hard coat film having excellent adhesion to a hard coat layer when a cycloolefin polymer film is used as a base material. The hard coat film of the present invention comprises a hard coat layer containing an ionizing radiation curable resin laminated on at least one surface of a cycloolefin polymer base film through a primer layer. This primer layer contains a modified polyolefin resin in which a polyolefin resin is graft-modified with an ?,?-unsaturated carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof, and a (meth)acrylic acid ester. In this modified polyolefin resin, the graft weight of the ?,?-unsaturated carboxylic acid or derivative thereof is 0.4 to 7 wt. % when the amount of the modified polyolefin resin is taken as 100 wt. %.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2019Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: NIPPON PAPER INDUSTRIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Takeo Suzuki, Narihiro Ilo, Takashi Ino, Yusuke Sugiyama, Yasuaki Yoshida, Takuya Takahashi, Syunji Sekiguchi
