A thermosetting resin composition which forms a cured coating is provided.
This resin composition is capable of providing the supporting substrate
with scratch resistance, crack resistance, smudge proof property,
removability of oil-base felted markers by wiping, and antistatic
property. Also provided is an article having a coating formed from such
composition. More specifically, the photocurable resin composition
comprises (1) a siloxane compound containing a photoreactive group
produced by hydrolyzing and condensing a system comprising (a)
photoreactive group-containing hydrolyzable silane represented by formula
(i) or (ii), with the proviso that, when one hydrolyzable silane is used,
the silane comprises a trifunctional silane, and when two or more silanes
are used, at least 70% by mole comprise a trifunctional silane, (b) a
dimethylsiloxane containing a hydrolyzable group at opposite ends
represented by formula (iii), and (c) a fluorine-containing hydrolyzable
silane represented by formula (iv) in the presence of a basic catalyst by
using water at an amount in excess of the amount required for hydrolyzing
and condensing all hydrolyzable groups; (3)
(CF.sub.3(CF.sub.2).sub.mSO.sub.2).sub.2NLi (wherein m is 0 to 7); and
(4) a radical photopolymerization initiator. The article has a coating
formed from this composition.
