Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of glass surface treatment, and specifically to a high borosilicate optical lens glass and a preparation process thereof. Background Art

[0002] Optical materials are generally divided into optical glass, optical crystals and special optical materials. Among them, optical glass is a non-crystalline (glass state) optical medium material that can transmit light, and is commonly used in the production of optical elements such as prisms, lenses, mirrors, window plates, and filters in optical instruments or optical systems. High borosilicate glass is a borosilicate glass with a silicon dioxide (SiO2) content > 78 wt%, and a boron trioxide (B2O3) content > 10 wt%. It has high strength, high hardness, low expansion coefficient, and excellent thermal stability and chemical stability. However, the glass surface has a certain reflectivity, which will cause light loss, which is not conducive to its application. The prior art achieves the anti-reflection effect through the interference cancellation of thin films. According to the existing formula calculation, when the refractive index of the glass substrate is 1.5, the ideal single-layer anti-reflection film should be around 1.23. And a dense single-layer substance cannot have such a low refractive index. Therefore, we propose a high borosilicate optical lens glass and a preparation process thereof. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high borosilicate optical lens glass and a preparation process thereof, so as to solve the problems proposed in the above background art.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A preparation process of a high borosilicate optical lens glass, including the following processes:

[0005] Mix and melt the raw materials, form, and perform heat treatment to obtain high borosilicate glass;

[0006] Etch, coat with sol to form an anti-reflection layer to obtain optical lens glass.

[0007] Further, the raw materials include the following mass components: 78 - 85 parts of silicon dioxide, 10 - 15 parts of boron trioxide, 5 - 10 parts of borax, 3 - 6 parts of sodium oxide, 2 - 10 parts of sodium silicate, 2.0 - 4.5 parts of aluminum hydroxide, 1 - 3 parts of zirconium phosphate, 0.1 - 0.5 parts of lithium oxide, 0.065 - 0.075 parts of cerium dioxide.

[0008] In the above technical solution, silicon dioxide and boron oxide serve as the framework of the glass and are the main preparation components. Borax (Na2B4O7·10H2O) decomposes when heated in the melting process to form boron oxide (B2O3), sodium oxide (Na2O), and water. Boric acid decomposes when heated to produce boron oxide (B2O3) and water. Sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) decomposes when heated to produce silicon dioxide (SiO2) and sodium oxide. Aluminum hydroxide decomposes when heated to form aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and water. Boron oxide, sodium oxide, and silicon dioxide are the basic components to form borosilicate glass, endowing it with a low expansion coefficient, high thermal stability, and chemical stability. Sodium oxide acts as a flux, providing free oxygen to transform the structure of boron oxide from layered to framework, making it easier to form a homogeneous melt with silicon dioxide, promoting the melting of the glass components, adjusting the refractive index of the glass, and enhancing its strength and chemical stability. Boron oxide can lower the melting point and viscosity of the glass, promote the flow and shaping of the molten glass, improve the physical and chemical properties of the glass, and enhance its transparency, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance. The generated water is transformed into water vapor and released in the high-temperature melting process, which can carry the bubbles in the molten glass out and produce a clarification effect; in synergy with cerium dioxide (CeO2) in the raw materials, it plays a phased clarification role. The decomposition temperature of cerium dioxide is higher. It decomposes at high temperature to form cerium sesquioxide (Ce2O3) and releases oxygen, accelerating clarification and achieving homogenization of the molten glass; at the same time, the ionic compound cerium sesquioxide has the effects of high field strength, high coordination, and high accumulation, making the structure of the fabricated glass tend to be densified, thus contributing to improving its mechanical properties and thermal stability. Aluminum oxide can improve the chemical stability, thermal stability, strength, and hardness of the glass while also enhancing its refractive index and improving the optical properties of the glass. Lithium oxide (LiO2) can play a fluxing role, reduce the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass, and improve its chemical stability and thermal stability. The ionic radius of lithium is the smallest, and it is easy to enter the glass network structure to form ion exchange. Due to its relatively high electronegativity, it attracts surrounding molecules, making the glass denser and improving the gloss and strength and hardness of the glass. Zirconium phosphate has the commonalities of layered compounds, with a relatively high specific surface area and surface charge, having ion exchange characteristics and adsorption capacity. It can carry out ion exchange with lithium oxide, enhancing the connection between glass components and improving the thermal stability, chemical stability, and strength of the glass.

[0009] Further, the mixed melting process is as follows: Heat the raw materials to melt at a temperature of 1400 - 1550 °C and keep warm for 30 - 60 min; raise the temperature to 1600 - 1700 °C, introduce oxygen, and melt for 1 - 3 h;

[0010] The oxygen flow rate is 0.5 - 3.0 L / min, and the introduction duration is 10 - 60 min.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the raw materials are melted at a relatively low temperature, enabling the raw materials to react and effectively avoiding the volatilization of the raw materials. Then, the temperature is increased to reduce the viscosity of the glass melt, and the oxygen introduced can form uniform bubbles, which helps to homogenize the composition, structure, and quality of the prepared high-borosilicate glass.

[0012] Furthermore, the forming process adopts a leakage forming technique, with higher raw material utilization rate and better optical quality of the prepared high-borosilicate glass.

[0013] Furthermore, the heat treatment process is as follows: keep the temperature at 540 - 650 °C for 1 - 3 h; cool naturally to room temperature.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the obtained high-borosilicate glass is annealed to eliminate the residual stress in the glass, promote the homogenization of its optical and structural properties, and improve the stability of the glass.

[0015] Furthermore, the etching process is as follows:

[0016] Place the high-borosilicate glass in the etching solution, carry out a hydrothermal reaction at 158 - 162 °C for 450 - 500 min; take it out after the reaction, wash, and dry to form an etched layer.

[0017] Furthermore, in step S1, the etching solution includes the following mass components: 3.0 - 22.5 g / L disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate, 5.5 - 35 g / L tetrasodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate;

[0018] The mass ratio of disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate to tetrasodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate is (30 - 45):(55 - 70).

[0019] In the above technical solution, the obtained high-borosilicate glass is surface-etched using disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate and tetrasodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate. The above two components show acidity and alkalinity in water respectively. By controlling the dosages of disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate and tetrasodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate, the pH value of the etching solution can be regulated, and it has a strong complexing ability, stabilizing the etching process. Under hydrothermal conditions, the components of the etching solution carry out ion exchange with the high-borosilicate glass, forming pores on the glass surface, increasing the porosity of the glass surface, reducing the refractive index of the prepared etched layer, and reducing the surface reflectivity of the glass through destructive interference to improve its transmittance.

[0020] Furthermore, the sol coating process is as follows:

[0021] Modify the etched high-borosilicate glass using hydrosilane; use trifluoroethyltriethoxysilane and vinylsiloxane as raw materials to prepare fluorine-containing POSS; add dichloromethane and a photoinitiator to prepare a fluorine-containing POSS / dichloromethane dispersion; add the high-borosilicate glass obtained in the previous step and irradiate with ultraviolet light to form a POSS modification layer;

[0022] Take fluorinated POSS and polyvinylpyrrolidone, mix them in a solvent, add an initiator, and heat for reaction; then add tetraethyl orthosilicate, ammonia water, and absolute ethanol, react to obtain a sol; impregnate and lift the high borosilicate glass obtained in the previous step, and calcine to form a hollow silica layer to obtain an antireflection layer.

[0023] Furthermore, the sol coating process is as follows:

[0024] (1) Place the etched high borosilicate glass in a hydrogen silane / ethanol solution and ultrasonicate for 20 - 30 min; take it out and hydrolyze it at a temperature of 23 - 27 °C and a humidity of 40% - 50% for 18 - 24 h to form a hydrogen silane modification layer;

[0025] (2) Mix trifluoroethyltriethoxysilane, vinyl siloxane, ethanol, hydrochloric acid, and deionized water, heat to 70 - 80 °C, stir and reflux for 5 - 12 h; cool to room temperature and continue to react for 15 - 24 h; recrystallize with a mixed solution of tetrahydrofuran and methanol, filter, wash, and dry to obtain fluorinated POSS; add dichloromethane and a photoinitiator to prepare a fluorinated POSS / dichloromethane dispersion;

[0026] Place the high borosilicate glass obtained in the previous step in the fluorinated POSS / dichloromethane dispersion, irradiate with ultraviolet light for 10 - 50 min; then place it at a temperature of 150 - 160 °C and cure for 100 - 150 min; wash and dry to form a POSS modification layer;

[0027] (3) Mix deionized water, fluorinated POSS, and polyvinylpyrrolidone, heat to 28 - 82 °C, add an initiator, and react for 1 - 15 h; add ammonia water and absolute ethanol, and slowly add tetraethyl orthosilicate and stir at a temperature of 68 - 72 °C for 10 - 12 h to obtain a sol;

[0028] Place the high borosilicate glass obtained in the previous step in the sol, impregnate for 6 - 10 min, then lift it out, with a lifting speed of 70 - 80 cm / min; place it at room temperature for 10 - 15 min to volatilize the alcohol; place it at a temperature of 60 - 70 °C and dry for 8 - 12 h, and calcine at a temperature of 400 - 500 °C for 2 - 3 h to form a hollow silica layer to obtain an antireflection layer.

[0029] Furthermore, in step (1), the concentration of the hydrogen silane / ethanol solution is 3 - 5 v%; the hydrogen silane is one of triethoxysilane and trimethoxysilane.

[0030] Furthermore, in step (2), the mass ratio of trifluoroethyltriethoxysilane, vinyl siloxane, ethanol, deionized water, and hydrochloric acid is (67 - 80):(14 - 58):100:(12 - 16):(7.5×10-4 ~8.3×10 -4 );

[0031] Hydrochloric acid is added in the form of 0.12 M dilute hydrochloric acid.

[0032] Furthermore, in step (2), the concentration of the fluorinated POSS / dichloromethane dispersion is 5-15 wt%.

[0033] The photoinitiator is Irgacure 2959, and the dosage is 5% of the mass of the fluorinated POSS.

[0034] Furthermore, in step (2), the vinyl siloxane is one of methyl vinyl dimethoxysilane, vinyl trimethoxysilane, vinyl triethoxysilane, γ-(methacryloyloxy)propyl trimethoxysilane, γ-(methacryloyloxy)propyl triethoxysilane, γ-(methacryloyloxy)propyl methyl dimethoxysilane.

[0035] Furthermore, in step (3), the sol is prepared from the following components: in terms of parts by mass, 2.5-3.0 parts of fluorinated POSS, 0.3-0.4 part of polyvinylpyrrolidone, 0.1-0.2 part of initiator, 6-8 parts of ammonia water, 5-6 parts of tetraethyl orthosilicate, 100-120 parts of absolute ethanol, and 45-50 parts of deionized water.

[0036] The initiator is one of aluminum chloride and ammonium persulfate.

[0037] In the above technical solution, the fluorinated siloxane and the vinyl siloxane are mixed, and under the catalysis of an acid, POSS (cage-shaped polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane) is formed. Its structure contains fluorine groups and vinyl groups, which can effectively reduce the refractive index of the prepared POSS and endow it with reactivity. The surface pores of the etched borosilicate glass are modified with hydrosilane. Under the action of the initiator and irradiation, through the addition of silicon-hydrogen bonds and vinyl groups, the loading of POSS on the glass surface is realized, and the pores are further modified and filled to form a POSS modification layer, making it have low reflection characteristics and realizing a further reduction in reflectivity; at the same time, the POSS modification layer has good mechanical strength, hardness, and hydrophobicity, which helps to maintain the morphology of the etched layer for a long time and improve the surface performance of the prepared glass.

[0038] Mix the fluorinated POSS with polyvinylpyrrolidone. The fluorinated POSS is adsorbed to polyvinylpyrrolidone through electrostatic interaction, and under the action of an initiator, polymerization occurs to form a porous polymer. As a template, tetraethyl orthosilicate penetrates and hydrolyzes under the action of ammonia water, and polymerizes on the surface of the template to form hollow silica doped with the fluorinated POSS porous polymer and its sol, which has a lower refractive index. After coating it on the surface of the POSS-modified borosilicate glass (POSS modification layer) and curing, a hollow silica layer is formed, and thus the preparation of the antireflection layer on the glass surface is completed. Through the multi-layer structure composite of the etching layer, POSS modification layer and hollow silica layer, the refractive index of the film layer on the surface of the borosilicate is greatly reduced. The prepared glass has effective antireflection ability, can reduce the reflection of light, improve the light transmittance and clarity of the glass, and make the visual experience more comfortable and natural. At the same time, the doping of the fluorinated POSS porous polymer makes the prepared antireflection layer have higher strength, hardness and hydrophobicity, realizing wear resistance and easy cleaning.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0040] A preparation process of a borosilicate optical lens glass described in the present invention prepares an antireflection layer by etching and sol coating on the surface of the borosilicate glass.

After coating and curing, a composite structure is formed, which greatly reduces the refractive index of the glass surface, can reduce the reflection of light, improve the light transmittance and clarity of the glass, and make the visual experience more comfortable and natural.

[0092] Experiment: Take the optical lens glasses obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 to prepare specimens, and detect and record the test results of their performance respectively:

[0093] Optical performance test: Use a UV-visible spectrometer to detect the transmittance of the specimen, and the experimental wavelength is 400-800 nm;

[0098] From the data in the above table, the following conclusions can be clearly obtained:

[0099] The optical lens glass obtained in Examples 1-3 was compared with the optical lens glass obtained in Comparative Examples 1-5. From the test results,

[0100] Compared with the comparative examples, the optical lens glass obtained in Examples 1-3 has higher transmittance, hardness, and contact angle data, and a lower transmittance decrease rate at the same time. This fully demonstrates that the present invention has achieved an improvement in the optical performance, wear resistance, and hydrophobic self-cleaning performance of the fabricated optical lens glass.

[0101] Compared with Example 1, the sol in Comparative Example 1 was prepared from styrene, polyvinylpyrrolidone, tetraethyl orthosilicate, etc., and the fluorine-containing POSS was replaced with styrene. On the basis of Comparative Example 1, the POSS in Comparative Example 2 was vinyl POSS. Compared with Example 1, no POSS modification layer was provided in Comparative Example 3. Compared with Comparative Example 3, the high borosilicate glass in Comparative Example 4 was not etched, and the optical lens glass was composed of high borosilicate glass and a hollow silica layer. The optical lens glass in Comparative Example 5 was obtained by etching high borosilicate glass. For the optical lens glass obtained in Comparative Examples 1-5, its transmittance, hardness, contact angle, and transmittance decrease rate could not maintain an optimal level simultaneously. It can be seen that the setting of the process of the optical lens glass and the components used in the present invention can promote the comprehensive improvement of its optical performance, wear resistance, and hydrophobic self-cleaning performance.

[0102] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention, the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present invention.
