친수성 안의료용 렌즈 재료에 하이드록시기를 가진 아크릴레이트계 모노머인 HEA(2-hydroxyethyl acrylate), HEMA (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), HPMA(hydroxypropyl methacrylate) 및 Ag nanoparticles가 첨가제로 사용되었으며, 교차결합제인 EGDMA(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate)와 개시제인 AIBN(azobisisobutyronitrile)을 사용하여 공중합하였다. 하이드로젤 친수성 렌즈는 100 ^oC에서 1시간 동안 열 중합을 통해 제조되었다. 제조된 하이드로젤 친수성 렌즈의 함수율, 굴절률 그리고 광투과율을 측정함으로써 렌즈의 광·물리적 특성을 분석하였다. HEA, HEMA 그리고 HPMA의 평균 함수율은 82.12%, 37.06% 그리고 21.57%로 각각 측정되었으며, 굴절률의 경우 1.3540, 1.4330 그리고 1.4649로 각각 측정되었다. 제조된 하이드로젤 친수성 렌 즈의 분광투과율을 측정한 결과, 근자외선 영역에서는 82.67%, 80.32% 그리고 79.83%로, 가시광선 투과율의 경우 89.72%, 88.24% 그리고 86.89%로 각각 측정되었다. 또한 은 나노입자를 포함한 시료의 광투과율은 근자외선 영역에서 10.59% 그리고 가 시광선 투과율에서 43.74%로 각각 측정되었다. 이 결과로 볼 때 분자길이는 중합된 고분자 물질의 함수율 및 굴절률에 영 향을 주는 것으로 판단된다. The hydrophilic ophthalmic lens with addition of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA) and Ag nanoparticles were manufactured. And also, the cross-linker ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and the initiator azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) were used for polymerization. The polymerization of the hydrogel lens material was conducted through thermal polymerization in 100 ^oC for 1h. The optical and physical characteristics of hydrogel lens were evaluated by measuring water content, refractive index and optical transmittance. The water content of sample containing HEA, HEMA and HPMA was in the average of 82.12%, 37.06% and 21.57%, respectively. And also, refractive index of the sample containing HEA, HEMA and HPMA was in the average of 1.3540, 1.4330 and 1.4649, respectively. In case of the optical properties of the sample, the results showed that the near-UV transmittance was 82.67%, 80.32% and 79.83%, and the visible transmittance was 89.72%, 88.24% and 86.89%, respectively. And also, optical transmittance of the sample containing Ag nanoparticles showed that the near-UV transmittance of 10.59% and visible transmittance of 43.74% were obtained. From the results, the molecular length influenced on the water content and refractive index of the polymerized material.
