Sol-Gel 하드 코팅 막에서의 Spiropyran의 광 변색 특성
Photochromic Properties of Spiropyran in Hard Coating Films Made by Sol-Gel Method
실란커플링제인 glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane(GPTMS)과 vinyltriethoxysilane(VTES)을 출발물질로 하여 sol-gel법에 의해 유-무기 혼성 용액을 제조하였다. 이 용액에 spiropyran계 광 변색 염료를 ethylacetate에 용해시킨 용액을 혼합하여 광 변색 코팅 용액을 제조하였다. 그 후 기재인 polycarbonate 시트에 스핀 코팅 시키고 100 ℃에서 2 h 동안 열 경화시켜 광 변색성을 갖는 하드 코팅 막을 제조하였다. 코팅 막은 UV 광을 조사함에 의해 투명색으로부터 푸른색으로 변했다가 다시 투명색으로 변하는 가역적인 색변화를 보여주었다. 이때 코팅 막의 소색속도 및 연필경도는 코팅용액 중의 GPTMS의 mol비가 증가됨에 따라 증가하였다.
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 ℃. 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.
