Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If polythiourethane-based resin is used to manufacture plastic spectacle lenses, then the lenses achieve high refractive index and good processability, but the impact resistance of the molded products is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by precisely controlling the haze value parameter of the polymerizable composition to 0.05 or less. This parameter control directly impacts the impact resistance of the molded products. The invention changes the physical-chemical parameters of the monomer components and catalysts to achieve stable impact resistance in large-scale production while maintaining high refractive index and good processability of polythiourethane-based resins.
2Manufacturing precision
If the haze value of the polymerizable composition is not controlled, then the production process is simpler, but the impact resistance and manufacturing stability of the molded products deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by controlling the haze value of the polymerizable composition before the molding process. By pre-establishing the haze value at 0.05 or less in the composition stage, the invention ensures subsequent impact resistance and manufacturing stability without adding complex post-processing steps. This preliminary control of physical-chemical parameters simplifies the overall production process while achieving high manufacturing precision.
