Abstract
Recently, nanoparticles of gold and silver has been applied to various fields due to antimicrobial property. This study added Ag and Au nanoparticles in HEMA (2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate), NVP (N-vinyl pyrrolidone) and MMA (methylmethacrylate) and copolymerized the solution by heating at $70^{\circ}C$ for 40 minutes, $80^{\circ}C$ for 40 minutes, and finally, $100^{\circ}C$ for 40 minutes. Using the polymer produced through the copolymerization process, and measured the physical characteristics which showed water content of 28.43% ~ 35.27%, refractive index of 1.429 ~ 1.440, visible transmittance of 79.2% ~ 86.5% and tensile strength of 0.125 kgf ~ 0.201 kgf. We judged that we made the copolymer with antimicrobial and physical properties which is suitable for conventional contact lens.
