Problems solved by technology

[0011] The scope of the "predicted naphthopyrans" disclosed on page 3 is limited to compounds containing up to 4 oxirane groups and resulted in a reduction in fading rate of up to 28%
However, the different photochromic dyes used in combination to achieve these colors often fade at slightly different rates, so that the mixture produces an unnoticeable color change during the fade

Embodiment 3

[0477] Dyes were tested by dissolving them in standard monomer mixtures followed by simple heat curing. The selected monomer mixture is polyethylene glycol 400 dimethacrylate (known as 9G) and 2,2'-bis[4-methacryloyloxyethoxy]phenyl] in a weight ratio of 1:4 A mixture of propane (known as Nouryset 110) (shown below), and 0.4% AIBN initiator. This formulation will be referred to as Monomer Mix A. Dye is added to the formulation such that the dye concentration ranges from 0.3 mg / g to 5 mg / g. The mixture was polymerized at 75°C for 16 hours in a small gasket between microscope slides to obtain test lenses of approximately 14 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness. The Tg of the test lens made from 9G and Nouryset 110 only was 120°C.

Abstract

This invention relates to a polymerizable composition for forming a photochromic article having a glass transition temperature of at least 50 DEG C on curing the composition comprising: (a) a polymerizable composition comprising a monomer component; and (c) a photochromic dye monomer comprising a photochromic moiety and at least one oligomer group having at least one group reactive with the monomer component during curing wherein the oligomer group comprises at least seven polyether monomer units selected from alkylenoxy and haloalkylenoxy.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a class of functionalized photochromic dyes, compositions containing the functionalized dyes, and methods of forming polymeric compositions, and polymeric articles exhibiting a photochromic response. Background of the invention [0002] Photochromism is a property that has been used for many years to produce articles that transmit light. A compound is said to be photochromic if it changes color when irradiated and returns to its original color when the irradiance ceases. The use of photochromism in the production of spectacle lenses is particularly beneficial because it enables the efficiency of filtering radiation to vary with the intensity of the radiation. Photochromics can also be used in other polymer composition fields in products or applications such as windows, automotive windshields, automotive and aircraft transparencies, coating compositions, optical switches, and data storage devices. Photochromic mater...
