Abstract
청색광과 자외선에 대한 과도한 노출은 우리 몸의 안구와 피부에 심각한 손상을 끼치므로, 청색광과 자외선으로부터 우리 몸을 보호하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 수분산 폴리우레탄에 청색광 및 자외선 흡수 염료를 각각 혼합하여 코팅 용액을 제조하고 이것을 기재인 PET sheet 위에 도포한 후 열경화 시킴에 의해 청색광과 자외선을 동시에 차단할 수 있는 플라스틱 필름을 제조하였다. 청색광 흡수 염료인 노란색의 quinoline yellow와 pigment yellow 74의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 400~450 nm 파장의 고에너지 청색광의 투과율이 감소되어 청색광 차단 효과가 향상되었다. 그러나 pigment yellow 74의 첨가는 quinoline yellow 보다 더 진한 노란 색상의 필름이 얻어져 시인성이 좋지 못했으며, 500~800 nm 영역에서의 가시광선 투과율이 크게 감소한다는 문제점들이 있었다. 한편 자외선 흡수제인 benzotriazole과 benzophenone 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 코팅 필름의 320~400 nm의 UV-A 파장에서의 평균 투과율이 크게 감소하여 자외선 차단 효과가 크게 향상되었다. 그러나 benzotriazole 첨가량의 증가는 코팅 필름의 시인성을 크게 저하시키지 않았으나, benzophenone 첨가량의 증가는 코팅 필름의 색을 진한 노란색으로 변화시켜 시인성을 크게 저하시켰다.
Excessive exposure to blue light and ultraviolet rays can cause serious damage to our eyes and skins, so it is important to protect our bodies from blue light and ultraviolet rays. In this study, coating solutions were prepared by mixing waterborne polyurethane with blue light and ultraviolet absorption dyes, applying them on the PET sheet as a substrate, and then thermosetting them to produce a plastic films that can block blue light and ultraviolet rays at the same time. As the amount of yellow quinoline yellow and pigment yellow 74, which are blue light absorption dyes, increased, the transmittance of high-energy blue light with a wavelength of 400 to 450 nm decreased, improving the effect of blocking blue light. However, the addition of pigment yellow 74 had problems that the visibility was poor because a darker yellow film was obtained than quinoline yellow, and the visible light transmittance in the 500-800 nm region was significantly reduced. As the amount of benzotriazole and benzophenone, which are UV absorbers, increased, the average transmittance of the coating films at a wavelength of 320-400 nm decreased significantly, resulting in a significant improvement in the UV blocking effect. However, the increase in the amount of benzotriazole did not significantly reduce the visibility of the coating film, while the increase in the amount of benzophenone caused the coating film to change to a dark yellow color, significantly decreasing its visibility.
