Abstract
The optical, physical and polymerization property of hydrogel ophthalmic lenses made by cerium nanoparticles containing 4-chlorostyrene as a base hydrogel material were analyzed. Cerium oxide nanoparticles were used as additive. And HEMA, 4-chlorostyrene and a cross-linker EGDMA were copolymerized in the presence of AIBN as an initiator. Also, the polymerization property such as TGA and absorbance of the prepared lens were measured. Measurement of the polymerization characteristics of the copolymerized material showed that TGA was found that the addition of cerium oxide increased thermal stability. The physical properties of the basic lenses were totally satisfied and breaking strength gradually increased with the addition amount of 4-Chlorostyrene. Cerium nanoparticles are considered to satisfy the basic requirements of hydrogel lenses and UV-blocking amount gradually increased according to the addition ratio of cerium oxide nanoparticles without affecting the basic physical properties. Therefore, these materials can be used effectively as additives for ophthalmic hydrogel lenses.
