Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a preform for press working which allows, e.g., a high-quality optical component having a high refractivity and a low linear expansion coefficient, such as a lens, to be manufactured by heat press molding with a high yield, and a manufacturing method thereof.
  • optical information recording equipment such as a mobile camera, a DVD, a CD, and a MO drive has become higher in performance, smaller in size, and lower in cost, it has been strongly demanded to develop an excellent material and an excellent process even for an optical component used in the recording equipment, such as an optical lens or a filter.
  • a plastic lens is lighter in weight and more resistant to cracking than an inorganic material such as glass, can be worked into various shapes, and is advantageous over a glass lens in terms of cost so that the plastic lens has rapidly become prevalent not only as an eye-glass lens, but also as the optical component mentioned above.
  • thermoplastic resin (called also as a nano-composite resin) containing inorganic fine particles in which inorganic fine particles such as metal oxide fine particles are uniformly dispersed.
  • a conventional mainstream method for mass-producing a lens from a resin material for a plastic lens has been a method using injection molding, or a method using heat press molding.
  • the nano-composite resin is typically inferior in fluidity when heated, and cannot completely fill the inner space of the mold die, it is not suited to injection molding of a component which requires high- precision transfer, such as a lens (see, e.g., Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2006-343387) .
  • the nano-composite resin in the molten state has a low fluidity.
  • a failure such as unrecoverable birefringence or coloring is likely to occur in the manufactured lens body, which also leads to the problem of a significant reduction in product yield.
  • the present invention has been achieved in view of such conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a preform for press working which allows, when applied to the manufacturing of an optical component such as a lens, a high-quality optical component having a high refractivity and a low linear expansion coefficient to be manufactured by heat press molding with a high yield, and a manufacturing method thereof.
  • the object of the present invention mentioned above is attained by the following preform for press working and manufacturing method thereof.
  • a preform for press working which is an aggregate with fluidity obtained by a method comprising: aggregating a thermoplastic resin containing inorganic fine particles supplied as a powder-particle material while at least partially maintaining a state of the powder-particle material.
  • thermoplastic resin containing the inorganic fine particles supplied as the powder-particle material with the state of the powder-particle material (also referred to as the powder-particle state) maintained therein, a minute gap is left between the individual powder-particle materials constituting the aggregate.
  • the minute gap it is possible to obtain a high fluidity compared with a fluidity obtained with a lump of a nano-composite resin which has been brought into a molten state.
  • the preform for press working is formed into a product shape by heat press molding, even in transformation to a desired shape, the high fluidity prevents the occurrence of unneeded birefringence or coloring, and allows an excellent product to be provided with a high yield.
  • the preform for press working mentioned above is a lump of the aggregate, it is easy to handle and, compared with the case where a powdery nano- composite resin is loaded in a mold die, an amount of a resin material loaded into the mold die can be easily controlled to a uniform value during heat press molding for product formation. In addition, because there is no scattering to the ambient environment, the occurrence of environmental contamination can also be suppressed, and contamination on the aggregate itself is suppressed.
  • the .amount of the resin material loaded in the mold die can be easily controlled to a uniform value, and the resin material loaded in the mold die is allowed to completely fill the inner space of the mold die, it becomes possible to produce a high-precision resin molded product by heat press molding with stability, and manufacture the resin molded product utilizing the characteristic property of the thermoplastic resin containing the inorganic fine particles with a high yield.
  • thermoplastic resin containing the inorganic fine particles is a powder-particle material for an optical component
  • preform is used as a preform for an optical component
  • a component of the thermoplastic resin containing the inorganic fine particles has been prepared as the powder-particle material for an optical component and, even by heat press molding, it becomes possible to suppress unneeded variations in optical properties, and produce a high-precision optical component with stability.
  • a higher-precision optical component such as an extremely- small lens used in a digital camera or a mobile phone with a camera, and simultaneously improve a product yield.
