Embodiment
Below, by embodiment the present invention is described, but the present invention is not limited to following embodiment.
Comparative example 1
The urethane acrylate resinoid uses the viscous fluid before the curing that the 1-hydroxy cyclohexyl phenylketone as Photoepolymerizationinitiater initiater by the benzyl methacrylate of the polyurethane end group methacrylate oligomers that contains toluene support diisocyanate of about 55 weight %, the trimethylolpropane triacrylate of about 25 weight %, about 18 weight % and about 2 weight % constitutes, and uses illumination 500mW/cm 2Mercury light viscous fluid before this solidifies shone 4 minutes, make its curing.Under the hot and humid environment of 85 ℃ of temperature, humidity 85%, this solidfied material carried out 500 hours burin-in process.Initial index of refraction is 1.5350, and refractive index is 1.5338 after the burin-in process.Therefore, the change of refractive amount is-0.0012.In addition, Noland Co., Ltd. system propenyl resinoid " NOA60 " owing to the burin-in process under the equal conditions, causes refractive index to reduce too.
Comparative example 2
6.0ml is added in the 15.0ml ethanol as the 3-methacryloxypropyl triethoxysilane (MPTES) of metal alkoxide, and one side stirs, and one side drips the hydrochloric acid of the 2N of 1.2ml.It was placed two days, and being hydrolyzed makes its polycondensation.Then, add 1.5mg polymerization initiator 1-hydroxy cyclohexyl phenylketone, then under 100 ℃ to its heating, remove ethanol, obtain the hydrolytie polycondensation product of metal alkoxide.
Use illumination 500mW/cm 2Mercury light to its irradiation 4 minutes, make its curing.
The same with comparative example 1, under the hot and humid environment of 85 ℃ of temperature, humidity 85%, this solidfied material carried out 100 hours burin-in process.Initial index of refraction is 1.4845, and the refractive index of burin-in process after 100 hours is 1.4868, confirms that the change of refractive amount is+0.0023.
Said sample is carried out infrared absorption spectrum analysis, results verification, after the burin-in process, the OH base increases to some extent.The inventor thinks that this is that the result has caused the refractive index rising because originally stable Si-O-Si key hydrolysis under humid tropical condition has generated the big Si-OH of molecular refraction.
By organic polymers such as the hydrolytie polycondensation product of this metal alkoxide and esters of acrylic acid, epoxies, polyurethanes is mixing cured, can control change of refractive under the hot and humid environment.But in the method, according to the blending ratio of the hydrolytie polycondensation product of metal alkoxide, the stability of refractive index changes to some extent.Because blending ratio also influences other characteristics such as hardness, thermotolerance, therefore, only adopt this method can not make refractive index stable fully.
In the present invention, by adding the volatility low molecular composition again, great changes will take place not make the blending ratio of metal alkoxide hydrolytie polycondensation product and organic polymer, can guarantee that refractive index is stable.
Comparative example 3
In this example, the volatility low molecular composition is mixed in the organic polymer, estimates the effect that reaches by this interpolation.Use trifluoroacetic acid as the volatility low molecular composition, use urethane acrylate resinoid with comparative example 1 as organic polymer.Add the trifluoroacetic acid of 20mg in 10g urethane acrylate resinoid, same as above after the interpolation, irradiation ultraviolet radiation is cured.The gained solidfied material is same as above, places under the hot and humid environment, measures change of refractive.After 100 hours, can make variations in refractive index very little, reach-0.0001; And after 500 hours, reach-0.0010, be and the refractive index of not adding the sample equal extent of low molecular composition.
From The above results as can be known, only by add the volatility low molecular composition in organic polymer, low molecular composition can not make the refractive index long-term stability volatilizing than stage morning.In the present invention, use have can with the low molecular composition of the group of the hydroxyl Cheng Jian of the hydrolytie polycondensation product of metal alkoxide, by Cheng Jian between the group of the hydroxyl of the hydrolytie polycondensation product of metal alkoxide and low molecular composition, control the evaporation rate of volatility low molecular composition, guarantee the stability of long-term refractive index.
In addition, between the hydrolytie polycondensation product and organic polymer of metal alkoxide, also be preferably formed because any keys such as key that key, hydrogen bond, the pi-electron that the polymerization of propenyl forms overlaps to form.
