Abstract

목적: 본 연구는 glycerin과 PVP(polyvinylpyrrolidone)을 각각 첨가제로 사용하였을 때 친수성 콘택트렌즈의 물성 변화를 평가하였다. 방법: Glycerin과 PVP(polyvinylpyrrolidone)를 각각 첨가제로 사용하여 교차결합제인 EGDMA (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) 기본적인 모노머인 HEMA(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)와 그리고 개시제인 AIBN(azobisisobutyronitrile)을 기본 조합으로 하여 공중합하였다. 결과: 생성된 고분자의 물리적 특성을 측정한 결과 PVP(polyvinylpyrrolidone)의 경우, 굴절률은 1.4382~1.4288로, 인장강도는 0.3446~0.2542 kgf로 각각 감소하였으며, 접촉각은 21.44% 감소되고 함수율은 13.49% 증가하였다. 또한 glycerin의 경우, 굴절률 1.4330~1.4328로, 인장강도는 0.2974~0.2854 kgf로, 함수율은 35.58~36.53%로 큰 변화를 보이지 않았으며, 접촉각의 경우 37.64%가 감소되었다. 결론: 본 실험결과로 볼 때, 생성된 공중합체는 고 습윤성 안 의료용 렌즈 재료로 사용이 가능하며, 또한 glycerin을 첨가제로 사용하였을 때, 함수율과 굴절률의 변화를 최소화시킴과 동시에 친수성 렌즈의 습윤성을 증가시켰다. Purpose: The physical and optical characteristics of hydrophilic contact lens polymerized with addition of glycerin and PVP(polyvinylpyrrolidone) in the basic hydrogel contact lens material were evaluated. Methods: This study used glycerin and PVP(polyvinylpyrrolidone) with the cross-linker EGDMA (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate), HEMA (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) and the initiator AIBN (azobisisobutyronitrile) for copolymerization. Results: Measurements of the physical characteristics of the copolymerized material including PVP(polyvinylpyrrolidone) showed the refractive index of 1.4382~1.4288, tensile strength of 0.3446~2542 kgf and water content and contact angle of sample showed the increase of 13.49% and decrease of 21.44% independently. And also, the physical characteristics of the copolymerized material including glycerin showed the refractive index of 1.4330~1.4328, tensile strength of 0.2974~0.2854 kgf, water content 35.58~36.53% and contact angle of sample showed the decrease of 37.64%. Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, the produced copolymers is suitable for conventional lens with high wettability. Also, glycerin minimized the changes of water content and refractive index at the same time, increased the wettability of the hydrogel lens materials.
