Abstract: Chromophores that absorb both UV and short wavelength visible light are disclosed. The chromophores are particularly suitable for use in intraocular lens materials.

Abstract: Provided for herein is a process for separating a hydrocarbon-rubber from a hydrofluorocarbon diluent comprising contacting a polymer slurry comprising the hydrocarbon-rubber dispersed within the hydrofluorocarbon diluent with a hydrocarbon solvent capable of dissolving the hydrocarbon-rubber, to produce a first liquid phase and a second liquid phase, and separating the first liquid phase from the second liquid phase.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a dispersion, the method including a step of forming a reaction product by allowing at least two types of liquids to react with each other, the dispersion including a dispersion medium and particles formed from the reaction product dispersed therein. In the method described above, the at least two types of liquids are ejected from independently provided respective nozzles so that traveling directions of the liquids ejected therefrom intersect with each other at an angle of 120° or less and so that the liquids then flow in an integrated manner, whereby the reaction product is generated.
