Abstract
In this study, the high refractive coating films applicable for optical materials were produced. the conversion and the photo curing behaviors were examined through FTIR-ATR and photo-DSC, and thermal and mechanical properties of cured films were examined by using DMA and UTM, and pencil hardness, refractive index and optical transmittance of film were measured. Urethane metacrylate oligomer was synthesized by mixing bisphenoxyethanolfluorene (BPEF), polycaprolactone diol (PCL), and polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMeG) in varying ratios. Also, as the results of mixing ethylene glycol phenyl ether acrylate (PHEA) and trimethylolpropanetriacrylate (TMPTA) in varying ratios, the more time UV irradiated, the higher conversion and the heat of enthalpy (ΔH) and the initial curing rate increased with increasing TMPTA content up to 70%. Also, as the trifunctional monomer increased, the storage modulus and Tg increased, and the stress increased while the strain decreased to reach its maximum value. Also, as the BPEF ratio increased, the maximum value of stress increased while the strain decreased, the refractive index and pencil hardness increased, and light transmittance was all over 80%.
