Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polishing materials technology, specifically to a diamond polishing slurry for optical lenses and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) materials are core materials for surface finishing of precision optical devices through the synergistic effect of chemicals and machinery, providing strong support for meeting the demands of optical systems for extreme surface finish and shape accuracy. Currently, optical devices are transitioning from traditional glass to advanced materials such as sapphire and quartz. While these materials possess advantages such as adaptability to extreme environments and broad spectral transmittance, their higher Mohs hardness (e.g., sapphire reaches level 9) places dual higher demands on the polishing process for "efficient material removal" and "low subsurface damage." The quality of precision polishing directly affects device performance: in high-power laser applications, surface irregularities can easily lead to localized heating and damage; in ultra-low scattering scientific instruments, nanoscale surface variations can reduce measurement accuracy; and maintaining optical performance under extreme environments also depends on the quality of the polished surface and the absence of subsurface damage.
[0003] Diamond abrasive slurry is key to addressing this challenge. Traditional abrasives (such as corundum and silicon carbide) have a Mohs hardness of less than 8, which leads to low removal efficiency, easy surface scratches, and thick subsurface damage layers when used with hard materials such as sapphire. Diamond (Mohs hardness of 10), with its extremely high hardness and excellent chemical stability, can effectively control the thickness of the surface damage layer while efficiently removing hard materials, thus meeting the core requirements of the grinding stage.
[0004] However, diamond polishing slurries still have the following performance shortcomings in practical applications: First, their stability is limited, and long-term storage can easily lead to particle agglomeration, resulting in decreased polishing uniformity. Second, their material compatibility is narrow; when polishing soft optical materials, they are prone to excessive surface damage, making it difficult to meet the differentiated polishing needs of both soft and hard materials. Third, there is a high risk of polishing residue; trace particles can degrade the light transmission performance of optical devices and increase the difficulty of subsequent cleaning. Fourth, their polishing efficiency is insufficient; the material removal rate for high-hardness single-crystal materials is low, and the uniformity of the micro-roughness of the surface after polishing needs to be improved. Therefore, the material compatibility, material removal rate, low residue, and stability of existing diamond polishing slurries still need to be improved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a diamond polishing slurry for optical lenses and its preparation method, thereby solving the following technical problems: Existing diamond polishing fluids still have problems with material compatibility, material removal rate, low residue, and poor stability.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention provides a diamond polishing slurry for optical lenses and its preparation method. The invention improves the material compatibility, material removal rate, low residue and stability of the diamond polishing slurry through the following methods.
[0017] (1) The benzotriazole in the side chain of the synergist of this invention can be adsorbed onto the surface of sapphire through π-π stacking and van der Waals forces to form an organic film, thereby regulating the interaction between the abrasive and the substrate, inhibiting the excessive etching of the crystal surface by diamond micropowder, and avoiding local deep scratches; on the surface of calcium fluoride, benzotriazole can form a weak adsorption layer through hydrophobic interaction and van der Waals forces, reducing irregular grinding phenomena. The carboxyl group of the synergist main chain can be ionized into carboxylate ions under alkaline conditions of pH 8.5-9.0 in the grinding solution, increasing the negative charge density on the surface of diamond particles, and together with sodium polyacrylate, enhancing the double layer repulsion, reducing the formation of particle agglomerates, improving grinding uniformity, and thus improving the ability of diamond grinding solution to reduce surface roughness. Meanwhile, the synergist has a molecular weight greater than 3500 Da, and its polymer chains can cover the diamond surface, providing steric hindrance and further preventing particles from agglomerating, allowing more individual diamond particles to participate in cutting. The adsorption layer formed by benzotriazole can also reduce the crystal surface energy, reduce the adhesion between diamond particles and the workpiece surface, improve the desorption efficiency of particles after cutting, and avoid the attenuation of cutting ability caused by grinding debris encapsulation, thereby improving the material removal rate of diamond polishing fluid. The synergist backbone contains a large number of hydrophilic groups, and after treatment with saturated sodium bicarbonate, the carboxyl groups are partially salted, further enhancing the hydrophilicity and making it easy to desorb during water rinsing. Under alkaline conditions with a pH of 8.5-9.0 in the polishing fluid, both the crystal surface and the synergist backbone are negatively charged, and the electrostatic repulsion can weaken the adsorption strength. In addition, the "anti-polyelectrolyte effect" of the zwitterionic copolymer can also reduce the adsorption of polymers on the crystal surface, significantly reducing the residual amount of polishing fluid. The synergist adsorbs onto the diamond surface through hydrophobic segments (dodecyl) and polar groups in the main chain, forming a stable steric hindrance layer that effectively prevents particles from agglomerating. At the same time, the ionized carboxyl groups of the synergist's main chain carry a negative charge, which, together with sodium polyacrylate, enhances the negative charge density on the diamond particle surface, increases the electrostatic repulsion between particles, significantly reduces the agglomeration rate, and significantly improves the dispersion stability of the diamond polishing slurry.
[0018] (2) The polyethylene glycol long chain of the zwitterionic copolymer of the present invention can provide steric hindrance, prevent diamond micro powder agglomeration, avoid deep scratches caused by large-sized agglomerates, and improve grinding uniformity; its sulfobetaine group forms a stable hydration layer near the substrate through strong hydration, reduces direct contact between diamond and substrate, reduces surface micro-damage caused by mechanical friction, and improves the surface roughness reduction. The zwitterionic copolymer is electrically neutral as a whole and has extremely strong hydrophilicity. Therefore, its adsorption on the surface of sapphire (negatively charged hydroxyl groups on the surface) and calcium fluoride (slightly negatively charged on the surface) is extremely weak. It mainly exists in the aqueous phase in a free state. It is not easy to form adsorption residues, and it is easy to be washed and desorbed by water. It will not form a hydrophobic adsorption layer on the substrate surface. For sodium polyacrylate (anion) that may be strongly adsorbed on the sapphire surface in the system, the presence of zwitterionic copolymer can dilute its concentration in the interface region and indirectly reduce the residue rate. The steric hindrance of the polyethylene glycol chain in the zwitterionic copolymer and the strong hydration layer of the zwitterionic groups can synergize with sodium polyacrylate and surfactants in the original system, further enhancing the dispersion stability of diamond micropowder. The zwitterionic structure of the zwitterionic copolymer is not easily degraded, and its hydration layer will continue to exist, effectively inhibiting particle sedimentation and agglomeration, and prolonging the stability period of the grinding fluid.
