The functional hydrogel lens containing 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) was manufactured by thermal polymerization. The physical properties of the produced hydrogel lens were measured and analyzed. In this study, HEMA, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), and azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) were used for thermal copolymerization. Additionally, poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMEMA), 3-(Triethoxysilyl) propyl isocyanate (TEPI), and cerium(Ⅳ) oxide nanoparticles were used as additives to make a functional hydrogel lens. The mixture was heated at 100 °C for 90 min to produce the hydrogel ophthalmic lens by the cast mold method. The resulting physical properties showed that the water content and refractive index of the sample were in the ranges of 38.06~42.11% and 1.426~1.436, respectively. The addition of cerium oxide nanoparticles lowered the contact angle and allowed the hydrogel lens to block UV light. The tensile strength was also improved by 52.13% through cerium oxide nanoparticles, and up to 123.4% by using TEPI. Based on the results of this study, the produced ophthalmic lens is suitable for durable, UV-blocking high-performance lenses.

A novel azobenzene compound bearing a short poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether side chain, N-methyl-N-{4-[(E)-(4-nitrophenyl)diazenyl]phenyl}-N-(3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24-octaoxapentacos-1-yl)amine (RED-PEGM-8) was synthesized and characterized. RED-PEGM-8 exhibits a thermal behavior similar to that of Disperse Red-1; however, its thermal stability, as well as its Tg and Tm values, are lower because of the presence of the PEGM segment. The optical properties of this compound in solution and in the solid state were studied by UV–vis spectroscopy. The appearance of a blue-shifted band in aqueous solutions at high concentrations of the chromophore reveals the existence of H-type aggregates, resulting from π–π intermolecular interactions between the azobenzene units. Strong intermolecular interactions were also confirmed by 1H NMR measurements. Optical properties of RED-PEGM-8 in the solid state (thin film) also suggest the presence of H aggregates. However, a tail is also detected in the red region of the absorption spectrum, which could be because of the formation of J-type aggregates in the thin film.Key words: aggregation, azo-dye, poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether.

The surface wettability of thermo-responsive random poly (ethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate-co-triethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate), abbreviated as P(MEOMA-co-MEO3MA), was investigated in thin film. UV-Vis spectroscopy shows that the LCST of P(MEOMA-co-MEO3MA) with molar ratios of 0:20, 6:14 and 9:11 were 43°C, 32 oC and 25 oC, respectively. LCST shifts towards lower temperature when molar ratio of MEOMA increases. ATR-FTIR indicates that P(MEOMA-co-MEO3MA) thin film experienced a collapse when the temperature passes its LCST. The contact angle of the paraffin oil on the film decreases 15o when the temperature is above its LCST, which confirms the surface wettability can be controlled. Atomic force microscopy shows the surface of the swollen thin film becomes rougher when above it LCST.
