Thermally Curable Organic-inorganic Hybrid Coatings on Ophthalmic Lenses
Coating are needed on ophthalmic lenses to enhance both the mechanical durability of the relatively soft plastic surface and the optical performance of lenses. Organic-inorganic hybrid baterials as molar ratio of 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane(GPTS), methyltrimethoxysilane(MTMS) and tetraethyl orthosilicate(TEOS) were used to improve the surface characteristics and the optical properties on allyl diglycol carbonate lenses. Coating for these plastics were at 140℃ for 4hrs, applied using the sol-grl process flow-coating technique. The coated lens properties of transimittance, adhesion, pencil hardness, abrasion resistance, hot water resistance and chemical resistance were investigated. The optimum properties obtained when the ratio of GPTS : MTMS : TEOS was 1: 1: 2, respectively.
