Anti-Scratch Coatings on Plastic Ophthalmic Lenses and Sheets using Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Nanocomposites

Implementing Organization

Central Glass and Ceramic Research Institute (CGCRI)

Project Overview

This nanotechnology based process has been developed for making thermally curable sols (lacquers) for applying optically clear antiscratch coatings on plastic (CR-39®, PC, PMMA etc.) ophthalmic lenses, sheets and other shapes by dip-coating technique. The coatings can be cured at 90-95°C. Main advantages of the coatings are:  Higher shelf life (> 30 days at room temperature and >100 days in refrigerator (5±1°C) in closed condition);  refractive index of the coatings can be varied from 1.48  1.54; and  coating can be done on complicated shapes (e.g. bifocal D- or Oshaped lenses) & previously tinted plastic ophthalmic lenses
