Abstract

1418089 Addition polymers &c. AMERICAN OPTICAL CORP 27 Sept 1973 [1 Dec 1972] 45299/73 Heading C3P [Also in Division C4] A photochromic optical element comprises a synthetic plastics element incorporating photochromic indolino, spiropyrans wherein R 1 is hydrogen or a halogen atom and R 2 and R 3 , which may be the same or different, occupy the 5, 6, 7 or 8 positions and are hydrogen, halogen, nitro or alkoxy having up to 3 carbons atoms, at least one of R 2 and R 3 not being hydrogen and which on activation by U.V. light, becomes coloured, the element being produced by immersing the synthetic plastics element in a solution of the spiropyran. The solution may be saturated, is heated to boiling, maintained for 24 hrs., the element removed, washed and dried. The plastics may be polycarbonates (e.g. poly(allyl diglycol carbonate)), hydroxylated polyethylene, polymethylacrylates, (e.g. polymethyl methacrylates), polyethylacrylates, polybutylacrylates and may include additives such as plasticizers.
