A preparation method for an ultraviolet-responsive coumarin controlled-release and self-repairing anti-fouling paint includes: reacting double-end-group reactive polydimethylsiloxane, polyisocyanate, and an organic diluting solvent; adding a dihydroxycoumarin compound, a cross-linking agent and an organotin catalyst; adding a simple coumarin compound, and irradiating the mixture with 365 nm ultraviolet light to obtain the anti-fouling paint. An anti-fouling coat formed by the paint of the present invention has the advantages of controllable release of a coumarin green anti-fouling agent in response to external ultraviolet stimulation and self-repairing, and the problems that the release of the conventional anti-fouling agents in the anti-fouling coat is difficult to control, and that the low-surface-energy anti-fouling coat is difficult to repair after being damaged are solved. The anti-fouling application requirements of various shallow sea light-transmitting constructions can be met, the service life is prolonged, and the application performance in a complex real sea environment is enhanced.

Provided is a method for producing a resin lens, comprising: A) mixing a polyisocyanate, a modified isocyanate, a catalyst and a release agent, and performing vacuum defoaming at 0˜30° C. for 10˜90 min to obtain a material a; B) mixing the material a with a sulfur-containing compound, and performing vacuum defoaming at 15˜20° C. for 20˜120 min to obtain mixed monomers; and C) completing casting of the mixed monomers, and curing to obtain a resin lens. The present disclosure uses polyisocyanate and a modified isocyanate at the same time to prepare a resin lens with higher glass transition temperature and higher surface hardness without producing bank mark and edge fogging. The present disclosure further provides a method for producing modified isocyanate. The obtained modified isocyanate used with polyisocyanate further improves the glass transition temperature and surface hardness of the resin lens without producing bank mark and edge fogging.
