In this study, we have prepared plastic lenses with both photochromic and hard properties by hard coating, and evaluated their optical properties and surface characteristics. Photochromic effects could be observed on the UV spectra of the closed forms and the visible spectra of the open forms. Visible light transmittance of photochromic lenses was from 83.44% for graphite(GP) to 85.15% for blue(BL) in colourless state and from 71.10% for red(RE) to 79.98% for yellow(YE) in colour state. Red photochromic lens was higher in optical density(${\Delta}$OD) and color difference(${\Delta}$$E^{\ast}_\;{ab}$) than the others. Photochromic lenses applied by hard coating showed good adhesion, hot water resistance, chemical resistance and surface appearance. Also, compared to the uncoated lens, hardness and abrasion resistance were increased. Consequently, this coating system could impart functional properties such as photochromic and hard coating property onto ophthalmic lenses.

염료의 포토크로미즘은 빛을 받았을 때, 염료의 분자구조가 변환되어 흡수파장이 달라지고 결과적으로 원래 색과 다른 색상을 나타내는 현상을 말한다. 대부분의 Golden yellow 색상을 나타내는 아조계 반응성염료는 Trans-Cis 간의 이성질체 전환을 통해 포토크로미즘 현상을 나타내며, 가역적으로 복색되기는 하지만 상업적으로 많은 문제와 불편을 초래한다. 한편 pyrazolone계 아조염료는 azo form 보다는 hydrazone form으로 더 많이 존재하는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 이로인해 상대적으로 Trans-Cis 이성질화가 잘 일어나지 않아 포토크로미즘 현상이 잘 일어나지 않을 것으로 기대된다. 이 연구에서는 3종의 pyrazolone계 golden yellow 반응성 염료를 합성하고, 합성한 염료를 면직물에 염색하여 염색성 및 견뢰도를 평가하였다. 또한 시판되고 있는 아조계 golden yellow 반응성 염료 4종을 선정하여 역시 염색성과 견뢰도 특성을 알아보았다. 그리고 7가지 염료의 광변색 특성을 조사하기 위해 포토크로미즘 평가방법인 ISO 105-B05법 및 이전 연구에서 제안된 광변색 평가방법을 사용하였다. ISO 105-B05법은 표준청색염포가 grey scale 4등급이 되는 시간을 구한 다음 이 시간의 1/4시간동안 조사한 후 포토크로미즘을 평가하는 것이며, 후자의 경우는 4시간동안 광조사된 시험편을 측색하고 시간에 따른 복색되는 정도를 평가한다. 합성한 pyrazolone계 염료들은 394-408nm의 최대흡수파장은 나타내었다. 7종의 yellow 반응성 염료들은 모두 면직물에 우수한 염색성 및 build-up성을 나타내었으며, 대체적으로 양호한 견뢰도를 얻었다. 또한 광변색 특성 평가결과 모든 염료들은 ISO 평가방법에 대하여 non-photochromic 특성으로 나타났으나, 다른 광변색 평가 결과 일부 염료들에 있어서 photochromic 특성이 있는 것으로 나타나 평가방법에 따라 차이를 보였다.

A polarizing spectacle lens having a perfect blocking of ultraviolet light and a partial blocking of blue light and having photochromic properties has been developed. It is a functional spectacle lens which can be used as a spectacle lens in the daytime, which plays a role of sunglass in a space with strong ultraviolet rays, dramatically reducing glare caused by late-night driving or reflected light. Photochromism was recovered in 0.5 second dark reaction and 3 seconds recovery time. The polarization function was about 95%. Ultraviolet rays were completely blocked and blue light was reduced by about 30%. A lens that combines photochromic and UV blocking and polarization functions is the first attempt at investigating the domestic market.

Organic-inorganic hybrid coating solutions were prepared starting from colloidal silica, lanthanum nitrate and ${\gamma}$-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane by the sol-gel method. Also, spiropyran-doped hard coating solutions were prepared by mixing the spiropyran solution, obtained after dissolving spiropyran dye into tetrahydrofuran solvent, with the organic-inorgnic hybrid coating solutions. The spiropyran-doped hard coating solutions were applied as a thin layer to polycarbonate sheets, and their photochromic properties were investigated. The effect of amount of colloidal silica added into the coating solutions was investigated on the photochromic properties of coating films. Both decoloration rate and pencil hardness of the coating films were increased with increasing the amounts of colloidal silica.

Spiropyran-doped organic-inorganic hybrid coatings were prepared starting from glycidoxypropyl triethoxysilane and vinyltriethoxysilane by a sol-gel method. They were applied as a thin layer to polycarbonate sheets and their photochromic properties were investigated. The effect of polarity of solvents dissolving the spiropyran was investigated on the photochromic properties. The decoloration rate of the spiropyran decreased with increasing the polarity of solvents dissolving the spiropyran because the open form of the spiropyran was easily stabilized in the polar gel matrix.

This study investigated the effects of lacquer-finishing to prevent discoloration of coloring chestnut wood coated with natural dyes from deteriorating factors such as lights (indoor, 500 lux and outdoor, 50,000~70,000 lux), acid, alkali, and heat through measurement of color difference. Lacquer-finishing coating contributed to protection of intrinsic color of the natural dyeing woods in spite of severe treatment. In particular, dyeing liquor with alkali pH played a great role in prevention of light discoloration.

Organic-inorganic hybrid solutions were made using glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) as starting materials by sol-gel method. Photochromic coating solutions were prepared by mixing the solution of photochromic dye (spiropyran) dissolved in ethylacetate with the organic-inorganic hybrid solutions. Photochromic films were prepared on polycarbonate sheets by spin coating and cured for 2 h at $100^{\circ}C$. The resulting films exhibited a reversible color change upon irradiation with UV light from transparent to blue. The color-fading speed and pencil hardness of the coating films increased with increasing the GPTMS content in the coating solutions.

Organic-inorganic hybrid solutions were prepared via sol-gel method using glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and methyl triethoxysilane (MTES) as starting precursors at a molar ratio of 1:1. The photochromic coating solutions were prepared by mixing the solutions of photochromic dye (spiropyran) dissolved in ethylacetate (EA) with the organic-inorganic hybrid solutions. Photochromic films were prepared on polycarbonate substrate by spin coating and cured for 2 h at $100^{\circ}C$. The resulting films exhibited a reversible color change upon irradiation with UV light. The photochromic properties of the films showed that the color-fading speed increases with increasing the EA content in the coating solutions.
