Abstract

Transparent plastic substrates require an improvement in properties such as surface hardness and thermal stability for optical applications. In this study, UV-curable organic/inorganic hybrids were synthesized to improve those properties. In order to make the optimum dispersion of inorganic component into the organic matrix, an in situ synthetic method was applied based on sol-gel reaction. Dispersion of the inorganic component in the organic urethane acrylate matrix was improved by using a proper combination of sol-gel reaction and fast UV-curing resulting in the formation of the transparent coating layer. Various alkoxy silanes were employed to vary both the degree of curing and coating properties of UV-curable organic/inorganic hybrids. UV-cured organic/inorganic hybrid coatings showed an improved surface hardness and thermal resistance depending on the content of inorganic component.

투명 플라스틱 소재를 광학용으로 적용하기 위해서는 표면경도 및 내열성과 같은 물성의 개선이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 물성의 개선을 위하여 자외선 경화형 유기/무기 하이브리드를 합성하였다. 유기소재 안에 무기 성분이 균일하게 최적상태로 분산되도록 하기 위하여 졸-겔 반응을 기초로 하여 동시에 반응이 진행되도록 하였다. 이러한 졸-겔 반응과 빠른 자외선 경화반응을 적절히 조합하여 우레탄 아크릴레이트 유기소재 안에 무기 성분의 분산성이 향상되도록 하여 투명성이 우수한 코팅층을 형성시킬 수 있었다. 자외선 경화형 유기/무기 하이브리드의 경화도와 코팅 물성을 변화시키기 위하여 다양한 종류의 알콕시 실란을 사용하였다. 이러한 자외선 경화형 유기/무기 하이브리드 코팅에서의 무기 성분의 함량에 따라 표면 경도와 내열성을 조절할 수 있었다.
