Abstract: A photochromic polymer comprising at least two photochromic moieties linked by a straight or branched chain polymer selected from the group consisting of poly(C2 to C4 alkylene oxide), poly[C1 to C10 alkoxy substituted (C2 to C4 alkylene oxide)] and poly[C1 to C-15 acyloxy substituted (C2 to C4 alkylene oxide)].
Abstract: A photochromic polymer comprising at least one siloxane oligomer and at least two photochromic groups covalently linked to one or both terminuses of the siloxane oligomer and compositions containing photochromic siloxane polymers with narrow polydispersity. The photochromic polymer enhances switching speed in rigid host polymers.
