Abstract

This study was wanted to confirm ability for UV blocking according to its material. The lenses materials were Acryl, CR-39, NK-55, and MR-8. It was grouped: Group A consisting of anti-scratch hard coated lenses and anti-refractive multi coated lenses, Group B added UV blocking coating on the group A, and Group C consisting of only UV blocking lenses. The results measured UV transmittance, On the UV-A wavelength, Group A showed the UV transmittance of 7.726%, 0.043%, 0.007%, and 0.007% respectively. Group B showed 0.038%, 0.037%, 0.007%, and 0.007%, respectively. The UV-blocking performance of CR-39 has been greatly improved. Group C has shown the best UV blocking function; only 0.005% and 0.004% of UV transmittances.(1.60 and 1.67 index of refraction respectively). For the low power of lenses and sunglasses, the CR-39 lens is the most used. Therefore, to UV blocking from the lens, new materials or UV absorbers or UV coating technology and development of Converged Technologies are required.

본 연구는 시력교정용 안경렌즈의 재질에 따른 자외선 차단 성능을 확인하고자 하였다. 안경렌즈 Acryl, CR-39, NK-55, MR-8 재질의 렌즈에 대하여 흠집 방지와 반사방지 코팅을 한 렌즈 Group A와 여기에 자외선 차단 코팅을 추가한 렌즈 Group B, 그리고 자외선 차단 전용렌즈 Group C에 대하여 자외선 투과율을 측정하였다. 그 결과, UV-A 파장에서 Group A는 CR-39 렌즈가 7.726 %, NK-55 렌즈, 0.043 %, MR-8과 Acryl 렌즈, 0.007 % 순 이었으며 Group B는 CR-39 렌즈가 0.038 %, NK-55 렌즈, 0.037 %, MR-8과 Acryl 렌즈, 0.007 % 순으로 나타나 CR-39 렌즈의 자외선 차단 성능이 크게 개선되었다. Group C는 굴절률이 1.60과 1.67에서 각각 0.005 %, 0.004 %로 나타나 자외선 차단 성능이 가장 우수하였다. 저 도수의 렌즈와 썬글라스의 경우, CR-39 렌즈를 가장 많이 사용하는 현실에서 자외선 차단을 위한 새로운 재질 또는 자외선 흡수제, 자외선 차단코팅 기술 등의 융 복합적 기술개발이 요구된다고 하겠다.
