An optical resin material comprising a polymer containing as an essential component at least one norbornyl acrylate or methacrylate or a derivative thereof is excellent in properties, particularly in moisture resistance and can be used for molding optical elements such as lenses, optical discs, etc.
1. An otpical resin material comprising a copolymer of one or more unsaturated carboxylic acid esters of the formula: ##STR3## wherein R is hydrogen or a methyl group; n is 0 or an integer of 1, and at least one other polymerizable unsaturated monomer selected from the group consisting of methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, N-methylmaleimide, N-ethylmaleimide and N-cyclohexylmaleimide.
2. A lens obtained by molding the optical resin material of claim 1 as an essential component.
3. A base plate for optical discs obtained by molding the optical resin material of claim 1 as an essential component.
This invention relates to an optical resin material excellent in transparency, moldability, heat resistance and moisture resistance and suitable for optical element materials with low birefringence and high reciprocal dispersion.
As transparent thermoplastic resins, particularly resins for optical elements, there have been known poly(methyl methacrylate), polystyrene, polycarbonate and the like. But transparent resins satisfying all the required properties, that is, low birefringence, low moisture absorption, good molding and processing properties as well as transparency and heat resistance, have not been obtained yet.
For example, poly(methyl methacrylate) is excellent in transparency and low birefringence, and high in reciprocal dispersion, and thus a relatively excellent material. However, it has a problem in that a dimensional change readily takes place during use due to large moisture absorbing properties. Polystyrene resins are very small in moisture absorption but large in birefringence and easily bring about a change in transparency with the lapse of time. Therefore, such resins are not suitable as materials for optical elements. Polycarbonate resins are very excellent in heat resistance and excellent in moisture resistance but large in birefringence and slightly inferior in transparency. Further, since polystyrene and polycarbonate are low in reciprocal dispersion, when these resins are used as optical lenses, it is difficult to use them as master lenses which control the performance of optical system.
Among these resins, poly(methyl methacrylate) resins have high possibility of being used for optical uses. In order to improve the moisture resistance of poly(methyl methacrylate) resins, various proposals have been disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication Nos. 58-5318, 58-5354, 58-11515, 58-13652, and 59-122509. One example of these proposals is a process for copolymerizing cyclohexyl methacrylate, benzyl methacrylate or a higher alkyl ester of methacrylic acid with methyl methacrylate. According to these proposals, the moisture resistance of the poly(methyl methacrylate) resins may be improved considerably but is still insufficient as optical element materials, while the heat resistance is remarkably lowered.
On the other hand, a polymer containing tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6 ]deca-8-yl acrylate or methacrylate as an essential component is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,591,626 as an optical resinous material excellent in moisture resistance and heat resistance. However, said polymer is still insufficient for providing high impact molded articles.
It is an object of this invention to provide an optical resin material overcoming the disadvantages of prior art materials.
This invention provides an optical resin material comprising a polymer containing as an essential component at least one unsaturated carboxylic acid ester of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen or a methyl group; n is zero or an integer of 1.
The polymer used in this invention means a homopolymer of an unsaturated carboxylic acid ester of the formula: ##STR2## wherein R is hydrogen or a methyl group; n is zero or an integer of 1, a copolymer of two or more different kinds of unsaturated carboxylic acid esters of the formula (I), and a copolymer of one or more unsaturated carboxylic acid esters of the formula (I) and one or more other polymerizable unsaturated monomers.
As the other polymerizable unsaturated monomers, there can be used unsaturated carboxylic acid esters [other than those represented by the formula (I)], aromatic vinyl compounds, vinyl cyanide compounds, N-substituted maleimides, etc.
Examples of the unsaturated carboxylic acid esters are alkyl acrylates such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, stearyl arcylate, etc.; cycloalkyl acrylates such as cyclohexyl acrylate, tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6 ]deca-8-yl acrylate, etc.; aromatic esters of acrylic acid such as phenyl acrylate, benzyl acrylate, etc.; acrylic esters such as glycidyl acrylate, etc.; alkyl methacrylates such as methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, propyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, hexyl methacrylate, 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate, stearyl methacrylate, etc.; cycloalkyl methacrylates such as cyclohexyl methacrylate, tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6 ]deca-8-yl methacrylate, etc.; aromatic esters of methacrylic acid such as phenyl methacrylate, benzyl methacrylate, etc.; methyacrylic esters such as glycidyl methacrylate, etc.
Examples of the aromatic vinyl compounds are styrene, α-substituted styrenes such as α-methylstyrene, α-ethylstyrene, etc.; nucleus substituted styrenes such as chlorostyrene, vinyltoluene, t-butylstyrene, etc.
Examples of the vinyl cyanide compounds are acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, etc.
Examples of the N-substituted maleimides are aliphatic N-substituted maleimides e.g. N-alkylmaleimides such as N-methylmaleimide, N-ethylmaleimide, N-isopropylmaleimide, N-butylmaleimide, N-laurylmaleimide, etc.; alicyclic N-substituted maleimides e.g. N-cycloalkylmaleimides such as N-cyclohexylmaleimide, etc.; aromatic N-substituted maleimides e.g. N-arylmaleimides such as N-phenylmaleimide, N-methylphenylmaleimide, N-chloropenylmaleimide, N-methoxyphenylmaleimide, etc.
In order to obtain the polymer excellent in transparency, moldability, heat resistance and moisture resistance, low in birefringence and high in reciprocal dispersion, it is preferable to compound monomers to be polymerized as follows:
______________________________________Unsaturated carboxylic acid 100-5% by weightester of the formula (I)Other polymerizable 0-95% by weightunsaturated monomer______________________________________
More preferable range is as follows:
______________________________________Unsaturated carboxylic acid 80-30% by weightester of the formula (I)Other polymerizable 20-70% by weightunsaturated monomer______________________________________
If the amount of the unsaturated carboxylic acid ester of the formula (I) is too small, it becomes difficult to attain the above-mentioned excellent properties or to improve these properties.
Among the other polymerizable unsaturated monomers mentioned above, methyl methyacrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, aliphatic N-substituted maleimides, alicyclic N-substituted maleimides are particularly preferable.
Further, among the unsaturated carboxylic acid esters of the formula (I), those having n=0 in the formula (I) are more preferable than those having n=1 in the formula (I), since the former can yield polymers having higher heat resistance without lowering the other properties and has a larger selectivity for other copolymerizable monomers.
As to the properties of the polymer thus obtained in this invention, the following ones are preferable.
The moisture resistance can be evaluated by a saturated water absorption rate, a smaller value of which is more preferable. The saturated water absorption rate of 1.3% by weight or less is preferable [cf. 2.2% by weight in the case of poly(methyl methacrylate)].
The heat resistance can be evaluated by a glass transition point, a larger value of which is more preferable. The glass transition point is preferably 95� C. or more, more preferably 120� C. or more, in terms of endothermic peak temperature measured by using a differential scanning colorimeter (DSC).
The molecular weight is preferably in the range of 10,000 to 1,000,000 in weight average molecular weight (Mw) from the viewpoint of moldability and heat resistance, strength and the like of molded articles.
The birefringence is a phenomenon exhibited by a medium in which an incident ray of light is polarized into two rays, called an ordinary ray plane and an extraordinary plane ray plane, and transmitted with different rates. When the optical resin material of this invention is used as a base plate for optical discs, a large birefringence causes undesirably noises. Therefore, the birefringence of 20 nm or less is particularly preferable in this case.
On the other hand, when the optical resin material of this invention is used for forming lenses, a large Abbe number which indicates the reciprocal dispersion is preferable. Thus, the Abbe number of 50 or more is preferable.
The polymer for the optical resin material can be produced by a conventional polymerization method such as radical polymerization, ionic polymerization, or the like. In addition, the polymer can also be produced by bulk polymerization, solution polymerization, suspension polymerization or the like in the presence of a polymerization initiator. When the polymer is used for optical elements which dislike the contamination of impurities, the bulk polymerization or suspension polymerization is preferable.
As the polymerization initiator, there can be used those conventionally used for ordinary radical polymerization, for example, organic peroxides such as benzoyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, di-t-butylperoxy hexahydroterephthalate, t-butylperoxy-2-ethylhexanoate, 1,1-di-t-butylperoxy-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane, etc.; azo compounds such as azobisisobutyronitrile, azobis-4-methoxy-2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile, azobiscyclohexanone-1-carbonitrile, azodibenzoyl, etc.; water-soluble catalysts such as potassium persulfate, ammonium persulfate, etc.; and redox catalysts such as a combination of a peroxide or persulfate and a reducing agent. The polymerization catalyst can preferably be used in an amount of 0.01 to 10% by weight based on the total weight of the monomers.
As the polymerization regulator, there can be used mercaptan series compounds, thioglycols, carbon tetrabromide, α-methylstyrene dimer, etc. to regulate the molecular weight depending on purposes.
The polymerization temperature is preferably in the range of 0 to 200� C., more preferably 50 to 120� C.
As the solvent in the solution polymerization, there can be used benzene, toluene, xylene, methyl, ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, dichloroethylene, etc.
The suspension polymerization is carried out in an aqueous medium and a suspending agent and, if necessary, a suspending auxiliary are added thereto. Examples of the suspending agent are water-soluble high polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol, methyl cellulose, polyacrylamide, etc.; difficulty soluble inorganic substances such as calcium phosphate, magnesium pyrophosphate, etc. The water-soluble high polymer is preferably used in an amount of 0.03 to 1% by weight based on the total weight of the monomers. On the other hand, the difficultly soluble inorganic substance is preferably used in an amount of 0.05 to 0.5% by weight based on the total weight of the monomers. As the suspending auxiliary, there can be used anionic surface active agents such as sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, etc. When a difficultly soluble inorganic substance is used as the suspending agent, it is better to co-use the suspending auxiliary. The suspending auxiliary is preferably used in an amount of 0.001 to 0.02% by weight based on the total weight of the monomers.
The unsaturated carboxylic acid ester of the formula (I) can be synthesized by a conventional method for synthesizing methacrylic acid esters and acrylic acid esters.
For example, norbornyl methacrylate or norbornyl acrylate, which has n =0 in the formula (I), can be obtained by adding H2 O to norbornene, or adding formic acid or acetic acid to norbornene, hydrolyzing to yield norborneol, and esterifying with methacrylic acid or acrylic acid. The esterification can be carried out by a condensation reaction of norborneol with methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, methacrylic chloride or acrylic chloride; or an ester exchange reaction with methyl methacrylate, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, etc.
When n=1 in the formula (I), norbornylmethyl methacrylate and norbornylmethyl acrylate are shown. These compounds can be synthesized by forming norbornyl methanol from 5-norbornene-2-methanol by a catalytic hydrogenation reaction, and changing the norbornyl methanol to the desired acrylic ester and methacrylic ester in the same manner as mentioned above.
The optical resin material of this invention can take any forms of polymers such as random copolymers, alternating copolymers, graft copolymers, block copolymers, polymer blends so long as the transparency is not damaged.
The optical resin material of this invention can be blended with one or more poly(methyl methacrylate) resins, polystyrenes, the optical resin materials disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,591,626, polycarbonates, and the like, so long as the properties of the optical resin material of this invention are not lowered.
Further, the optical resin material of this invention may further contain one or more antioxidants of phenolic compounds, phosphite compounds, thioether compounds, etc., mold release agents such as aliphatic alcohols, fatty acid esters, phthalic esters, triglycerides, fluorine series surface active agents, higher fatty acid metal salts, etc., lubricating agents, plasticizers, antistatic agents, ultraviolet absorbers, fire retardants, heavy metal inactivating agents, etc., conventionally used.
The optical resin material of this invention can be molded by conventional injection molding, compression molding, a micromold method, a floating mold method, a rolling method, casting, or the like. In the case of casting, monomers are partially polymerized first and then placed in a mold to carry out the final polymerization, and the optical resin material of this invention is obtained at the same time of obtaining a molded article.
The thus molded articles can further be improved in moisture resistance, optical properties, chemical resistance, wear resistance, and defogging by coating the surfaces of these articles with inorganic compounds such as MgF2, SiO2, etc. by a vacuum evaporation method, a sputtering method, an ion plating method, etc., or by hard coating the surfaces of these articles with organic silicone compounds such as silane coupling agents, vinyl monomers, melamine resins, epoxy resins, fluorine series resins, silicone resins, etc.
The optical resin material of this invention can be molded into various optical elements by the above-mentioned methods. Examples of the optical elements are lenses for common cameras, video cameras, telescopes, laser beams, projectors, ophthalmology, collecting the sunlight, optical fibers, etc.; prisms such as pentaprisms; light-piping elements such as optical fibers, optical guides, etc.; elements which exhibit functions by passing the light through such as discs, for example, optical videodiscs, audiodiscs, document file discs, memory discs, etc.
The polymer used in the optical resin material of this invention comprises as an essential component at least one unsaturated carboxylic acid ester of the formula (I), so that it is excellent in optical dispersibility, moisture resistance, heat resistance and ipact strength. In order to exhibit such excellent properties, the polymer contains as the essential component the compound of the formula (I) in an amount of preferably 5% by weight or more, more preferably 30 to 80% by weight. Further, desirable optical dispersibility, moisture resistance, heat resistance and impact strength can be attained by properly selecting the proportion of the compound of the formula (I) in the polymer or the kind of other copolymerizable monomer. The desired optical dispersibility, moisture resistance and heat resistance are remarkably attained in the case of homopolymers of compounds of the formula (I), copolymers of two or more compounds of the formula (I), and copolymers containing as a major component the compound of the formula (I). The above-mentioned properties can be attained by polymerizing the compound of the formula (I) in an amount of preferably 5% by weight or more, more preferably 30 to 80% by weight.
The compounds represented by the formula (I) have no double bonds other than polymerizing portions, so that when monomers having no double bonds other than polymerizing portions are used, the resulting polymer is excellent in resistance to light. Further, when monomers having no aromatic ring are used as the other copolymerizable monomer, the resulting polymer can provide articles excellent in birefringence.
This invention is illustrated by way of the following Examples, in which all parts and percents are by weight unless otherwise specified.
In a triangular flask equipped with a three-way stop cock, monomers as listed in Table 1 in an amount of 100 parts, 0.4 parts of lauroyl peroxideand 0.2 part of n-dodecylmercaptan were placed, and mixed and dissolved. After replacing the air in the flask by nitrogen gas, the flask was dippedin a constant temperature water bath heated at 60� C. while agitating the flask and subjected to polymerization for 30 minutes in a nitrogen stream to give a partially polymerized material. Then, the partially polymerized material was poured into a glass cell, wherein the polymerization was carried out at 60� C. for 4 hours and at 100� C. for 5 hours to yield a polymer in a transparent sheet form.Then the polymer was subjected to the measurement of total light beam transmittance, saturated water absorption rate, refractive index and Abbe number.
The polymer in an amount of 100 g was dissolved in 200 g of tetrahydrofuran, and the resulting solution was poured into 5 liters of methanol with stirring to precipitate and deposit the polymer, which was separated by filtration to yield the polymer in a white powder. The polymer was subjected to the measurement of a glass transition point.
The above-mentioned results are shown in Table 1.
The properties were evaluated as follows:
Total light beam transmittance (%): ASTM D-1003
Saturated water absorption rate (%): ASTM D570
Refractive index, Abbe number: measured by using an Abbe refractometer (mfd. by Eurma Kogaku K.K.)

Δ20-40 nm
X 40 nm or more

O no cracks
Δpartly cracked

The optical resin materials obtained in Examples 10, 12 and 17 and Reference Example 2 were injection molded at the resin temperature of 230� C. into lenses having a thickness at the central portion of 3 mm and a diameter of 14 mm. The obtained lenses were allowed to stand at 40� C. with a humidity of 100% RH for 6 hours for moisturizing to measure changes in face accuracy by moisture absorption by measuring the numbers of Neuton's rings by an optical measuring method using a lens before and after moisture absorption and defining the face accuracy by moisture absorption by the difference in the numbers of Newton's rings.
The results are shown in Table 4.

The optical resin materials obtained in Examples 10 and 17 and Reference Example 2 were injection molded at the resin temperature of 260� C.into transparent base plates for disc plates having a diameter of 120 mm and a thickness of 1.2 mm. One side of a base plate was subjected vapor deposition of aluminum, followed by overcoating with a protective film by a conventional method. The thus produced disc plates were allowed to standat 40� C. with a humidity of 100% RH for 24 hours. Then, the warpage(strain by moisture absorption) at the central portion of the disc plates and heat deformation temperature (HDT) were measured. The warpage was obtained by measuring the height of the central of a disc plate, the periphery of which was placed horizontally.
The results are shown in Table 5.

Yeah I released the first one and the second one is improving pretty quickly.

And the cars could develop during the career, like Lotus might be bad at first, but at the end of the 4th year they could challenge for wins etc.

What's your favorite mail order bulb seller?
buzzy(8PugetSound)June 8, 2011
Hi garden gurus,
I've been missing bulbs I grew many years ago so I went to Dutch Gardens, where I bought them 20 years ago or more, but first went to Dave's - horror stories galore about Dutch Gardens lack of customer service - 48 negs!
So now I need your help. What bulb house do you love? Where can I get top quality for the lowest price? And not just the majors, but also trout lily bulbs, frittilarias, snowdrops, choinodoxia (sp?) etc. - the odd little bulbs, too.
Please tell me who you love to buy from. Thanks.

Heart-related illnesses and diseases are the primary requirements for cardiac rehabilitation. For example, heart attacks, heart failure and congenital heart disease require cardiac rehabilitation in order for the patient to increase heart strength and become educated on how to reduce the risk of further heart complications. For example, a patient may undergo monitored exercise to increase heart strength.
Cardiac Rehab Requirements
Cardiac rehabilitation (cardiac rehab) is a coordinated program between a patient and her doctor including exercise and education to strengthen the heart and cardiovascular system. It is designed to reduce the risks of reoccurring heart attacks and prevent further damage to the heart and cardiovascular system. Cardiac rehab provides counseling to reduce the stress of coping with heart-related illnesses and emotional support to patients as they learn live a heart-healthy lifestyle.
Heart Related Illnesses
Cardiovascular Related Illnesses
Coronary artery and peripheral arterial diseases also require cardiac rehabilitation. In this case, cardiac rehabilitation efforts focus on improving cardiovascular health that may include monitored exercise. Additionally, this rehabilitation program also includes guidance on lifestyle changes and nutritional education to improve overall heart health such as learning better eating habits and increasing physical activity.
Surgery and Transplants
Coronary artery bypass, heart valve replacement, as well as angioplasty and stent surgeries, require cardiac rehabilitation. In this case, the patient is educated on how to strengthen the heart and ways to prevent worsening the condition through diet and heart healthy lifestyle changes. For example, patients may receive counseling on ways to reduce stress, smoking cessation and heart-healthy food choices.
Additional Requirements
Additional conditions for cardiac rehabilitation candidates include angina, obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. Although these conditions may include other body systems, such as with diabetes, cardiac rehabilitation has proven effective in reducing the life-threatening damage caused by these conditions. Patients who suffer from these conditions are informed by their doctor about making heart-healthy lifestyle changes, such as effective ways to reduce stress and increase physical activity, to prevent such conditions from worsening.

Just finished reading the book....
I've read many runig books about ultra runners (Scott jurek, dean karnes, Born to Run, etc). all these super-mega-ultra guys seem to have "loner" traits to their personalities but they have physical ability I could only ever dream of (I get injured when I up the miles, these guys seem to never be injured!). Having said i do enjoy reading their stories as they all reveal their inner battles we all have.
without wanting to sound too harsh, John Tarrant's myth is maybe bigger than his actual ability - against the top runners his illnesses generally stopped him short. If he ever got to run for GB in the Olympics it seems he wouldn't have finshed near the top. I also have to agree the comments above above the unbelievably selfish attitude to his own life to the detriment of his family, some things are more important than running...
at the end I can't believe how snooty the amatuer/professional debate was at the time, aren't we lucky today.
I was very touched by this fabulous read, very sad at the end. yes, we all know how his family was not put first, how most of the time he was very selfish, but im sure alot was to do with his childhood.
I`ve not finished it. I gave up finding the writing style suffered because the author didn`t know the subject (Tarrant). I might try and go back to it. I much preferred Jurek`s book and the Murikami one. Thought Born to Run was too full of US macho bullcrap, to coin a phrase.
Nick - yeah, I must read `Clouds`. Sounds good.
+1 for feet in the clouds, best running book I've read-1 for Murikami, possibly the worst running book I've read...can recommend barefoot runner , about Bikila
Quite liked both of those, Feet in the Clouds particularly, and even though I agree about Born to Run (possibly written with a tour of after dinner speaking in mind) I enjoyed it all the same
I think the very big difference here is that the John Tarrant story is one of supreme accomplishment in the face of adversity. Ghost Runner is a very real, if desperately sad, tale of an extremely talented runner who never received the accolades his performances so richly deserved. This as opposed to the 'ghost written' autobiographies that are often shallow by comparison and fail to convey the true soul of an athlete in the way that Bill Jones does with his retelling of events. Neither is it a contrived story written as a profit making exercise which books of the genre Born to Run tend to raise suspicion of (maybe a little unfair as they do give pleasure to many).
I wish you every success in your campaign Nicky and how wonderful it would be to see a statue, maybe along the riverside in Bishops Meadow, in order that John finally receives the recognition that befits his achievements. Will look out for news and offer support should you require. From a fellow Herefordian (well for the last 25 years at least!).

The product feels very good in the ears and seems to do it's work. It's just very hard to tell when the 3 drops have dropped and you have to squeeze real hard to get something out of it. Better if someone can do it for you.

my 15 month old came down with his first (and hopefully last) ear/sinus infection last month. the ent dr put my son on antibiotics which he seems to get better but the dr. said there was still fluid trapped in his ear. after a month of antibiotics, the dr. said the fluid was still there and wanted to continue the meds as a preventative of another infection happening. my son was getting noticeably run down from all the meds so i stopped the western meds and started putting these drops in his ears 3x/day along with some immune system building herbs. after 4 days, he finally seems to be getting better and doesn't have a runny nose for the first time in weeks!

This product slides into the ear and you feel that it is really working after a few days of use. I believe the ingredients are sound. I would recommend it for any ear infection.

Some of us think that God rules providentially over the broad parameters, the "big things," but not over the incidental details of history or of our lives. But, as I've noted before, so much of history–and our lives–is itself detail driven. The Bible tells us God raises up and tears down nations and rulers–the kinds of spectacular things we read about in our history books and hear about it in real time on CNN. But Jesus also tells us that a bird doesn't hit a window and break its neck apart from the Father's care.
It turns out God saves the world through very minute and (it seems) random details. Apologist Peter Kreeft puts it this way: "If one Egyptian tailor hadn't cheated on the threads of Joseph's mantle, Potiphar's wife would never had been able to tear it, present it as evidence to Potiphar that Joseph attacked her, gotten him thrown in prison, and let him be in a position to interpret Pharaoh's dream, win his confidence, advise him to store seven years of grain, and save his family, the seventy original Jews from whom Jesus came. We owe our salvation to a cheap Egyptian tailor."
Think of all the biblical prophecies that are dependent on the tiniest of details. What if Pilate had decided to whisk Jesus off to Alexandria, to protect him from the crowds? What if Judas had been murdered on his way to betray Jesus? What if the guards at Golgotha had decided to break Jesus' bones to make it easier to pull him down from the cross? What if Paul had drowned in his first shipwreck because he wasn't paying attention to a tidal surge, preventing him from taking the gospel to the Gentiles? We'd all be in hell right now. But God's purposes aren't dependent on chance or luck. He works all things out according to the counsel of his will.
