Abstract:
The invention relates to a method using visible and/or near-ultraviolet light for the photopolymerisation of a composition free from mineral particles, comprising at least one photopolymerisable monomer and at least one photoinitiator which is selected from suberone derivatives and mixtures of an alpha -diketone and an organic peroxide. The invention is suitable for use in the production of ophthalmic lenses.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a photochromic molded article which comprises the steps of: filling a mold with a photopolymerizable monomer composition containing a photopolymerizable monomer, a photoinitiator and a photochromic compound capable of coloring upon UV irradiation; pre-heating the composition to a temperature which reduces or prevents coloration of the photochromic compound during the subsequent photopolymerization step; and photopolymerizing the composition under irradiation with a light comprising a UV portion and a UV-visible portion.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a thermoset plastic material, comprising a three-dimensional matrix containing sulphur atoms and at least one anti-plasticizing additive which is unreactive toward said matrix.
