Purpose: This study is to prepare tintable hard coatings for plastic lenses and to evaluate spectroscopic and surface characteristic for these coatings. Methods: These coatings had been prepared by the sol-gel method using TEOS, MTMS and GPTS. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy and UV/VIS spectroscopy have been used to investigate the optical and structural characteristics of the coatings. Results: Tint ability of this coating was about 2 times higher than general hard coatings. The lenses applied by tintable hard coatings showed excellent adhesion, abrasion resistance, hot water resistance, and chemical resistance. Pencil hardness was 5H and the surface of coatings was smooth and free of cracks. Conclusions: This hard coating system for plastic lenses offered a hard and stable surface that could be tinted.

본 연구는 건축자재로 널리 사용되는 PVC 바닥상재의 표면을 스크래치로부터 보호하기 위하여 기존에 사용하는 광경화형 우레탄-아크릴 수지에 내마모성을 향상시킨 광경화형 하드 코팅액 개발에 관한 것이다. PVC 바닥상재용으로 사용되는 내마모성이 없는 우레탄-아크릴 수지에 $Al_2O_3$(Al-160SG-3), $Al_2(OH)_3$(SH-8W) 및 $SiO_2$(KS-5000) 등 서로 다른 내마모성을 지닌 물질을 분말 형태로 수지의 양대비 함량(wt%)을 10~30%로 변화하여 첨가한 후 링밀(Ring Mill)을 사용, 배합하여 수지의 내마모성을 향상시킨 하드 코팅액을 제조하였다. 제조한 하드 코팅액은 코팅층의 두께조절이 가능한 코팅(Bar-coating)을 사용하여 PVC 바닥상재에 코팅 한 후 내마모성, 연필경도, 부착력, 코팅두께 등의 코팅층 표면물성을 평가하였다. 연구결과, 수지에 $Al_2O_3$ 분말 30%를 혼합하여 제조한 하드 코팅액이 내마모성 1등급, 연필경도 H, 부착력 100%로 가장 좋은 물성을 보였으며, 전반적으로 입자크기가 작고, 분말 함량이 많을수록 또한 코팅두께가 두꺼워 질수록 경도 및 내마모성이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

저항이 낮고 투과도가 일정한 투명전도막(TCF)의 내구성을 향상 및 유지 시키는 연구는 상업화에 가장 필요한 연구 분야이다. 그 중 탄소나노튜브(CNT)와 실버나노와이어(AgNW)를 섞어 만든 CNT-AgNW는 우수한 광투과성과 내화학성 및 균일한 전기 전도성을 갖고 있고 그 기반의 투명전도막은 기존의 ITO 및 CNT 박막보다 우수한 유연성을 갖기 때문에 차세대 플렉시블 디스플레이 소재로서 많은 관심을 모으고 있다. 본 연구는 PET를 이용한 CNT-AgNW로 제작된 투명전도막 위에 물성 및 두께 따른 하드오버 코팅을 통한 내구성 개선 및 유지를 연구하였다. 하드오버 코팅 물질로는 실로콘계 하이브리드 투명 하드코팅 소재를 기본으로 하고 용매 및 용질의 합성 온도를 제어하고 코팅막의 두께(Thin, Thick)를 조절을 통해 내구성 개선을 증진시키려 하였다. 연구결과 물성 향상에 가장 많은 영향을 끼치는 것은 CNT-AgNW 코팅층과 하드오버 코팅층과의 젖음성으로, 그 젖음성이 증가할수록 투과도 및 전기전도도가 향상되는 것을 관찰하였다. 분석 결과, 용매의 비점 및 비중, 용질의 합성 온도가 하드오버코팅 젖음성에 가장 많은 영향을 주는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 항온 항습($85^{\circ}C/85%$) 환경에서 240시간 이상 내구성 테스트 결과 하드오버코팅 물질 중 고온합성 및 고비점 용매를 이용하고 thick 조건이 Thin조건보다 투명전도성 평가 지수(${\sigma}DC/{\sigma}OP$)가 향상 되었다. 또한 Thin에서 면저항(${\Omega}/{\square}$) 변화율이 10% 이상을 보인 반면, Thick에서는 10% 이내의 변화율 유지를 확인하였다.

In this study, we have prepared plastic lenses with both photochromic and hard properties by hard coating, and evaluated their optical properties and surface characteristics. Photochromic effects could be observed on the UV spectra of the closed forms and the visible spectra of the open forms. Visible light transmittance of photochromic lenses was from 83.44% for graphite(GP) to 85.15% for blue(BL) in colourless state and from 71.10% for red(RE) to 79.98% for yellow(YE) in colour state. Red photochromic lens was higher in optical density(${\Delta}$OD) and color difference(${\Delta}$$E^{\ast}_\;{ab}$) than the others. Photochromic lenses applied by hard coating showed good adhesion, hot water resistance, chemical resistance and surface appearance. Also, compared to the uncoated lens, hardness and abrasion resistance were increased. Consequently, this coating system could impart functional properties such as photochromic and hard coating property onto ophthalmic lenses.

In order to overcome the problem of poor hardness of transparent polycarbonate (PC) sheets, organic-inorganic hybrid hard coating solutions, which show a high refractive index above 1.58, were made by the sol-gel method. These hybrid coating solutions were obtained from mixture of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP), and (3-glycidoxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (GPTMS). The PC sheets were spin-coated, and cured at $120^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr. Change of refractive index in the range of 1.53-1.61 was obtained by varying the GPTMS content. The refractive index of the coated film decreased with increasing the GPTMS content, while the pencil hardness of the coated film was found to increase with increasing the GPTMS content.

Hard coating solutions were prepared from glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) precursors with different molar ratios of 10:0, 9:1, 7:3, 5:5, 3:7, and 0:10, respectively, by the sol-gel method. The polycarbonate (PC) sheets were spin-coated, and cured at $130^{\circ}C$ for 3 h. The effect of the GPTMS:MPTMS molar ratios of the mixture was investigated on the properties of coating films. The highest pencil hardness and adhesion to PC sheets of coating films were found for solution with GPTMS:MPTMS molar ratio of 5:5. Also, the pencil hardness of coating films was increased with increasing the $H_2O$ content in the coating solutions.

Inorganic-organic hybrid coating solutions were synthesized using titania sol from titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) as an inorganic component and mixture of two or three types of silane coupling agents, such as methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTMS), aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APS), glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) as an organic component. The hard coating films were obtained by spin-coating on the polycarbonate sheets and curing the inorganic-organic hybrid coating solutions. The coating films made from the mixture of two types of silane coupling agents showed poor pencil hardness and adhesion, while those from the mixture of three types of silane coupling agents exhibited an improved pencil hardness of 2H~4H and adhesion of 5B. The refractive indexes of coating films were increased from 1.56 to 1.63 at 550 nm by increasing the content of titania sols from 20 to 30 g.
