The invention relates to the field of
silicone hydrogel materials, in particular to a
contact lens silicone hydrogel material with good flexibility and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out cation
ring opening polymerization under 350-370 nm UV light to form a
prepolymer A containing unreacted
epoxy groups and vinyl; and then mixing the
prepolymer A with an amido-containing
hydrophilic monomer, a free radical cross-linking agent and a photothermal initiator, and carrying out second-stage
polymerization under 380-410 nm UV light to form a three-dimensional
network structure with an
ether bond flexible interface and C-C
bond strength. The method breaks through the phase separation
bottleneck of traditional single-stage
polymerization, the phase separation size is reduced, and the
optical transparency and stability are improved. Through chemical bridging of an
epoxy group and an
amide group, molecular-level bonding of a
siloxane phase and a water phase is realized, and flexibility and wearing comfort are improved. By introducing the flexible
chain segment regulator, the flexibility of the molecular chain is enhanced, the modulus is reduced, and meanwhile,
high oxygen permeability and
low protein adsorbability are kept.
