Description

  The present invention relates to a sulfur atom-containing resin material, particularly an episulfide-based sulfur atom-containing resin material, which is suitably used in the resin field such as an optical material that requires a high refractive index and high transparency.

In recent years, plastic lenses are rapidly spreading to optical elements such as spectacle lenses and camera lenses because they are lighter and harder to break than inorganic lenses and can be dyed.
The performance required for these plastic lenses is high refractive index and high Abbe number as optical performance, and high heat resistance, high impact resistance and low specific gravity as physical properties.

  Currently, polythiourethane resins in which sulfur atoms are introduced into the resin are known as resins that satisfy these required performances to some extent. The polythiourethane resin is a resin having an excellent balance such as high refractive index and good impact resistance (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).

  Further, in response to demands for higher refractive index and higher Abbe number, methods for improving the sulfur content of polythiol compounds used in polythiourethanes have also been proposed (for example, Patent Document 3 and Patent Document 4). Patent Document 5 and Patent Document 6).

On the other hand, a method using an episulfide compound has been proposed as a material pursuing a high refractive index and a high Abbe number, although required physical properties relating to strength such as impact resistance are not satisfied. (For example, see Patent Document 7 and Patent Document 8)
JP-A-60-199016 JP-A-63-46213 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 02-270859 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 03-236386 JP 07-252207 A JP 2001-342172 A Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 09-110979 JP 11-322930 A

  According to the methods of these patent documents, excellent performance as a plastic lens such as a high refractive index, a high Abbe number, and a low specific gravity can be realized. However, among these methods, when manufacturing a plastic lens using a raw material composition mainly composed of a compound having an episulfide group, injection is performed particularly when a lens is manufactured by polymerization by a cast polymerization method. In this case, the raw material composition leaking from the mold may remain in a liquid state without being cured outside the mold.

  At this time, the liquid raw material monomer is exposed to heat, and volatile impurities dissolved in the raw material monomer are filled into the polymerization furnace. Therefore, when the oven is opened and the mold used for the polymerization is taken out, the odor gas May leak. In addition, this uncured liquid may not be removed by simple cleaning. When manufacturing a lens industrially, it is necessary to reuse the mold. Therefore, it takes time to clean the mold, which may increase the time and cost required for manufacturing. The present inventors have examined whether this problem can be solved by changing the constitution of the raw material monomer.

  As a result of intensive investigations to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors still have a compound having an episulfide group as a main component, but contain a component that can be polymerized in the air in a certain range. As a result, the entire composition containing the raw material monomer leaking from the mold can be polymerized and cured, and as a result, the odor when the mold is removed from the oven at the end of the polymerization is reduced, and the cost required for cleaning the mold is reduced. As a result, the present invention was found.

That is, the present invention provides [1] a polymerizable composition that cures in air at 80 ° C. within 30 hours, wherein (a) one or more compounds having two or more episulfide groups, and (b) one mercapto group. One or more compounds having at least one compound, and (c) one or more compounds that do not have an episulfide group and can be cured by reacting with (b) in the atmosphere, (a) 60 The present invention relates to a polymerizable composition containing 5 to 40 parts by weight of (b) and (c) in total with respect to -95 parts by weight. Here, (b) the compound having one or more mercapto groups does not have an episulfide group or has only one episulfide group. This clearly distinguishes (b) from (a).
The following [2] to [6] are each one of preferred embodiments of the present invention.
[2] The polymerizable composition according to [1], further containing a single sulfur.
[3] An optical material comprising an episulfide sulfur atom-containing resin obtained by polymerizing and curing the polymerizable composition according to [1] or [2].

In the present invention, the “episulfide-based sulfur atom-containing resin” is a resin in which a sulfur atom is introduced into a polymer chain, or a resin existing in a resin in a state where sulfur is dissolved, The thing using the episulfide type compound as a main component or subcomponent of a composition is said. Further, “consisting of an episulfide-based sulfur atom-containing resin” means that a part of the optical material is composed of the episulfide-based sulfur atom-containing resin, and that the entire optical material contains the episulfide-based sulfur atom. When it is made of resin, it includes both.
[4] The optical material according to [3], wherein the episulfide-based sulfur-containing resin has a refractive index of 1.60 or more.
[5] The optical material according to [3] or [4], wherein the episulfide-based sulfur atom-containing resin further contains a thiourethane bond.
[6] A plastic lens made of the optical material according to any one of [3] to [5]. Here, “consisting of an optical material” means both when a part of the plastic lens is made of the optical material and when all of the plastic lens is made of the optical material. It is a purpose to include.

  According to the present invention, in the field of optical materials such as eyeglass lenses having a high refractive index and a high Abbe number, the present invention contributes to improvement in comfort, operability and productivity in the production of episulfide plastic lenses.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. First, the polymerizable composition of the present invention will be described.

  The “polymerizable composition that cures within 30 hours at 80 ° C. in the atmosphere” in the present invention is a raw material monomer composition containing a polymerization catalyst and other additives as necessary. For example, a composition obtained by dropping several drops of the composition on a glass plate is set in a heating oven having an air layer part of the atmosphere, and the inside of the oven is kept at 80 ° C. After maintaining in this state for 30 hours, the glass plate is taken out and the state of the raw material monomer composition on the glass plate is confirmed. At this time, what the raw material monomer composition is cured is referred to as “polymerizable composition that cures within 30 hours at 80 ° C. in the atmosphere”, but curing here is substantially no fluidity. Means. For example, if the viscosity is 10,000 Pa · s or more, it can be determined that the fluidity is substantially lost. In addition, for example, when the glass plate used for the test is turned upside down, the composition on the glass plate does not flow, or when the composition on the glass plate is touched by hand, the composition does not move to the hand. This is also an example of the effect mentioned here. When the polymerizable composition is cured, the liquid remaining on the surface of the mold used when creating the lens contaminates another mold or cleaning device due to contact between the molds or contact with the cleaning device. The phenomenon can be improved. Therefore, it is sufficient for the cured body to be polymerized in the form of rubber or gum.

  As a result of intensive studies by the present inventors, the composition of the polymerizable composition is as follows: (a) one or more compounds having two or more episulfide groups, and (b) one or more compounds having one or more mercapto groups. And (c) a compound having no episulfide group and containing at least one compound which can be cured by reacting with (b) in the atmosphere. (A) The content of one or more compounds having two or more episulfide groups is (a) one or more compounds having two or more episulfide groups, (b) one or more compounds having one or more mercapto groups. Optical properties of the resin obtained with respect to a total of 100 parts by weight of the compound and (c) one or more compounds that do not have an episulfide group and can be cured by reacting with (b) in the air From this viewpoint, 60 parts by weight or more is preferable, and 65 parts by weight or more is more preferable. More preferably, it is 70 parts by weight or more. From the viewpoint of curability of the raw material monomer leaking from the mold, 95 parts by weight or less is preferable. It is more preferable if it is 93 parts by weight or less. More preferably, it is 90 parts by weight or less.

(B) one or more compounds having one or more mercapto groups, and (c) one or more compounds having no episulfide groups that can be cured by reacting with (b) in the atmosphere. The total content is preferably 40 parts by weight or less, and 35 parts by weight or less with respect to 100 parts by weight of the total of (a), (b) and (c), from the viewpoint of the optical properties of the resulting resin. More preferred. More preferably, it is 30 parts by weight or less. From the viewpoint of curability of the raw material monomer leaking from the mold, 5 parts by weight or more is preferable. More preferably, it is 7 parts by weight or more. More preferably, it is 10 parts by weight or more.

  Then, it describes about the episulfide type sulfur atom containing resin optical material in this invention. The sulfur atom-containing resin in the present invention is a resin in which a sulfur atom is introduced into a polymer chain, and a resin having a sulfur atom in a polymer chain such as a sulfide bond, a disulfide bond, a thiourethane bond or a thioester bond. Means that. In the case of the present invention, even if the polymer chain does not have a sulfur atom, a resin which is present in the resin in a state where sulfur is dissolved is also treated as a sulfur atom-containing resin. Among such sulfur atom-containing resins, for the episulfide sulfur atom-containing resin in the present invention, it is essential to use an episulfide compound as the main component or subcomponent of the raw material composition.

(A) Compound having two or more episulfide groups Here, specific examples of episulfide compounds as raw materials for episulfide-based sulfur atom-containing resins will be given.
