Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a contact lens. More specifically, it relates to a method for producing a novel crosslinked polybutyl alcohol contact lens. Background art
- polybutyl alcohol is obtained by hydrolyzing polybutyl ester such as polybutyl acetate, but it is not easy to cross-link the polybutyl alcohol.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-40719 discloses a crosslinked polybutyl alcohol obtained by processing a copolymer consisting of butyl acetate and triaryl isocyanurate into a lens shape under cooling and then hydrolyzing. Contact lenses are disclosed.
- triaryl isocyanurate as a cross-linking agent and bulk acetate are subjected to bulk polymerization in a container such as a test tube, and then the polymer is subjected to machining such as cutting and polishing under cooling. Is hydrolyzed as a lenticular substance, and the resulting lenticular substance is a crosslinked polybutyl alcohol having a high water content. It is useful as a Cole contact lens.
- the vinyl acetate copolymer cannot obtain sufficient hardness at room temperature, it must be machined while cooling, and the manufacturing process is complicated, such as maintaining processing conditions. It was difficult to continuously mass-produce at low cost.
- machining is performed while cooling, the processing heat generated during processing has an adverse effect on the vinyl acetate copolymer, and as a result, the lens surface after processing becomes rough and optically satisfactory. It was not.
- the present invention provides a method for producing a novel practically useful contact lens made of crosslinked polybutyl alcohol, which satisfies the above requirements.
- it can be polymerized into a lens shape without machining, so that the lens surface is not rough, and the swelled lens after completion has excellent shape stability and is easy to handle, and it can be mass-produced with a constant quality.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a bull alcohol contact lens.
- the method for producing a contact lens made of crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol of the present invention is based on 100 parts by weight of a bulester represented by the following structural formula (1).
- a mixture of 0.05 to 5 parts by weight of reallyl isocyanurate is prepared, and then the mixture is filled into a mold composed of a male mold and a female mold, and irradiated with ultraviolet rays to form a lens-shaped polymer. After formation, the lenticular polymer is hydrolyzed.
- R represents a hydrocarbon group.
- the polymer can be polymerized into a lens shape without machining, so that the lens surface is not roughened, and the shape of the swollen lens after completion is excellent in shape stability. Can be manufactured.
- triaryl isocyanurate can be effectively cross-linked to the polybutyl ester to maintain the lens shape, since the polymer can be polymerized into the lens shape from the beginning by the mold in a short time.
- Bulle ester le as a main component of polyvinyl alcohol is represented by structural formula (1), the hydrocarbon group represented R is d -C e alkyl group, an alkenyl group, a cycloalkyl group or Ariru group I like it.
- alkyl methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, hexyl, etc.
- aryl group include a phenyl group and the like.
- a vinyl acetate in which R is a methyl group is particularly preferred.
- Shii is polymerization rate, viscosity of the monomers, in order to adjust the rate of hydrolysis or the like, R is possible to use a mixture of an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, a cycloalkyl group, Bulle ester is Ariru group of d -C B Can also.
- the alkyl group R is greater than C 8, it tends to be hardly hydrolyzed Bulle ester coma is not preferred because it tends to become difficult to obtain a saponification ratio 80% or more of poly Bulle alcohol.
- vinyl ester examples include butyl acetate, propyl propionate, butyl butyrate, burinate vivalate, vinyl acrylate, butyl methacrylate, butyl sorbate, and the like.
- the amount of triaryl isocyanurate as a cross-linking component is less than 0.05 part by weight, cross-linking of the polybutyl alcohol as a gel after completion of hydrolysis is insufficient, and it is difficult to maintain the shape as a contact lens. .
- it exceeds 5 parts by weight the cross-linking density becomes too large and a flexible contact lens cannot be obtained, so that the water content decreases. Therefore, in the present invention, it is used in an amount of 0.05 to 5 parts by weight, preferably 0.06 to 2 parts by weight.
- the mold used in the present invention is made of plastic-glass such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, or ABS resin, or a combination of these with a metal mold, and has high optical precision. Furthermore, in the case of vinyl esters having a small number of carbon atoms of R, such as butyl acetate, it is necessary to pay close attention to the airtightness of the molding die because it is easily vaporized.
- the polymerization method is radical polymerization by ultraviolet irradiation.
- the method based on thermal polymerization using a mold when the vinyl ester such as butyl acetate progresses due to heat before the polymerization starts, the airtightness of the mold is high, or the internal pressure of the mold is too high May cause rupture or the like.
- the polymerization reaction conditions the case of not using an ultraviolet polymerization initiator, the irradiation energy of ultraviolet rays, preferably performed in the range of 3 0 ⁇ 3 0 0 m WZ cm 2 , also the ultraviolet polymerization initiator
- the irradiation energy of ultraviolet rays is preferably in the range of 100 to 100 mW cm 2 .
- the polymerized polymer can be taken out of the mold by cooling to a temperature below the softening point of the vinyl ester copolymer together with the mold.
- UV polymerization initiators examples include ethoxyacetophenone, 4- (2-hydroxy-2-ethoxy) phenyl (2-hydroxy-2-propyl) ketone, and 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenyl.
- the lens-shaped vinyl ester copolymer polymerized in the mold becomes a target polyvinyl alcohol contact lens by hydrolysis.
- the method of hydrolysis is not particularly limited, but the lens-shaped molded body is immersed in an aqueous solution having an alkaline force to react.
- the lens-shaped molded body is swollen with a lower alcohol such as methanol in advance, and then is swelled with an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. It is preferable to immerse the mixture in a mixed solution of a lower alcohol such as methanol and carry out hydrolysis under heating.
- the percentage of hydrolysis is preferably at least 80%.
- the lens-shaped molded body was immersed in an aqueous solution in which methanol and distilled water were mixed at a ratio of 8: 2 so as to have a concentration of 0 mol of sodium hydroxide, and hydrolyzed at 40 ° C for 2 hours or more. went. Thereafter, the lens-shaped molded body was taken out and thoroughly washed with a large amount of water to obtain a crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol contact lens.
- a crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol contact lens was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the contact lens was added. It was confirmed by infrared spectrophotometry that the saponification of the bull lens from the bul ester to the bul alcohol progressed by about 90% or more. This lens has a light transmittance of 95% or more and a water content of 76%, showing no roughness on the lens surface. The swollen lens after completion is flexible and has excellent shape stability and is easy to handle. The quality was excellent.
- a mixture of 99 g of butyl acetate, 1 g of triaryl isocyanurate and 0.5 g of lauryl peroxide was placed in a test tube, and a lens-like molded body was cooled from a single rod-shaped polymer produced by thermal polymerization. 10 were obtained. Each of these The rough surface of the lens was not satisfactory as an optical material. Further, the shape of the 10 swollen lenses varied, and the shape of the lens could not be maintained.
- the lens obtained by the method of the present invention is useful as a contact lens made of crosslinked polybutyl alcohol having a high water content.
- a contact lens made of crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol having high transparency and high water content is polymerized in a short time in a mold in a controlled mold under controlled polymerization conditions.
- the swelled lens after completion has excellent shape stability and is easy to handle and practical, and can be mass-produced at a constant quality.
