본 연구에서는 보습오일 및 천연유화제를 포함한 하이드로젤 비드 및 고강도 하이드로젤 매트릭스로 구성된 알지네이트 기반의 하이드로젤 멤브레인을 제조하고 용출 특성을 평가하였다. 실험 결과, 하이드로젤 비드 및 고강도 하이드로젤 의 조성을 조절하여 보습오일 성분의 용출 속도를 원하는 범위로 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 특히 상호 침투 고분자 네트워크 구조를 가지고 있는 고강도 하이드로젤과 하이드로젤 비드를 결합함으로써 멤브레인의 물리적 안정성을 높이고 동시에 보습오일의 용출 속도를 더욱 세밀하게 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This research is carried out to analyze the effects of Styrene and PVP on the properties of silicone hydrogel lenses. Styrene group and PVP(Polyvinylpyrrolidone) are used as additives for a basic combination containing silicone monomer, TSMA(trimethylsilyl methacrylate) and DMA(n,n-dimethylacrylamide) added to the mix at ratios of 1~10 %. Silicone hydrogel lens is produced by cast-mold method. The polymerized lens sample is hydrated in a 0.9 % saline solution for 24 hours before its optical and physical characteristics are measured. Measurement of the physical characteristics of the produced material shows that the refractive index is 1.3682~1.4321, water content 77.11~45.73 %, visible light transmittance 95.14~88.20 %, and tensile strength 0.0652~0.3113 kgf. The results show a decrease of refractive index as the ratio of additives and water content decreases. The result of the stabilization test of polymerization show an increase of extractables along with increase of the ratio of additives, but the difference is not significant for all samples, so it can be judged that the stabilization of the polymer is maintained. Therefore, the additions of styrene and PVP should be taken into consideration for their effects on the physical properties of silicone hydrogel lens.
