    Abstract: This invention is directed to photochromic glasses which darken to a brown coloration upon exposure to actinic radiation, which glasses have a refractive index of about 1.6, and Abbe number between 42-47, a density less than 2.82 g/cm³, and are preferably essentially free of Ti0₂. The glass compositions consist generally, in weight percent, of:Si0₂43-52K₂02-9Nb₂0₅0-5B₂0₃12.5-18Mg00-5Ag0.100-0.175Al₂0₃0-3Ca00-5Cl0.140-0.350Zr0₂6-14Sr00-9Br0.093-0.195Li0₂1.5-3.5Ba00-9Cu00.008-0.030Na₂00-3

    Abstract: A process to synthetize zircon as an ultra thin coating and comprising: (A) mixing an alcoholic sol resulting from hydrolysis of a silicon alkoxide with an alcoholic solution of a chelated zirconium compound and in the presence of and with a doping agent, until a homogenous mixed sol is obtained; (B) forming a matured sol containing colloidal particles and/or the polymeric entities from the mixed sol; (C) forming a coating of the matured sol on a microporous substrate; (D) drying slowly the sol coating into a gel coating free of flaws; and (E) firing the gel coating at a temperature of 900 to 1500 DEG C to form an ultra thin zircon layer. Use of the zircon layer obtained above as an ultrafiltration membrane or as a protective coating.

    Abstract: PCT No. PCT/US96/12916 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 13, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 13, 1998 PCT Filed Aug. 7, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/09278 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 13, 1997The present invention relates to a method of making a rectangular bar have a gradient composition. In optical or ophthalmic applications, the gradient of composition ensures formation of a corresponding gradient of optical property, such as refractive index or optical density. The glass material is manufactured using a device containing several reservoirs, all designed to contain glass in the fluid state. According to the invention, the composition of the glass varies from one reservoir to the other so that the refractive indices, for example, of the three compositions are different, with an incremental progression. The fluid glass is deposited one composition on top of the next and then heated, creating a certain degree of interdiffusion between the layers. The glass is then heat-treated to create the desired property profile.
