Patent number: 8933143Abstract: Compositions and methods for adjustable lenses are provided. In some embodiments, the lenses contain a lens matrix material, a masking compound, and a prepolymer. The lens matrix material provides structure to the lens. The masking compound is capable of blocking polymerization or crosslinking of the prepolymer, until photoisomerization of the compound is triggered, and the compound is converted from a first isomer to a second isomer having a different absorption profile. The prepolymer is a composition that can undergo a polymerization or crosslinking reaction upon photoinitiation to alter one or more of the properties of the lenses.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2013Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: California Institute of TechnologyInventors: Andrew J. Boydston, Robert H. Grubbs, Chris Daeffler, Nebojsa Momcilovic

Patent number: 8921444Abstract: A process for the preparation of modified polymers by a photo-initiated polymerization includes preparing a polymerization medium comprising at least one photoinitiator comprising at least one phosphorous oxide (P?O) group or at least one phosphorous sulfide (P?S) group, and at least one polymerizable monomer. The at least one polymerizable monomer is polymerized by irradiating the polymerization medium with electromagnetic radiation so as to induce a generation of radicals so as to obtain a polymer. The polymer is modified by irradiating the polymer with electromagnetic radiation so as to induce a generation of radicals from the polymer in a presence of at least one modifying agent.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2011Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der Wissenschaften E.V.Inventors: Peter Seeberger, Hansjoerg Gruetzmacher, Klaus Tauer, Judith Braeuer, Paola Laurino

Patent number: 8921442Abstract: A process for the preparation of polymer lattices comprising polymer nanoparticles by a photo-initiated heterophase polymerization includes preparing a heterophase medium comprising a dispersed phase and a continuous phase and at least one of at least one surfactant, at least one photoinitiator, and at least one polymerizable monomer. The at least one polymerizable monomer is polymerized by irradiating the heterophase medium with electromagnetic radiation so as to induce a generation of radicals. The at least one photoinitiator is selected from compounds comprising at least one phosphorous oxide group (P?O) or at least one phosphorous sulfide (P?S) group. The irradiating of the heterophase medium is effected so that a ratio of an irradiated surface of the heterophase medium to a volume of the heterophase medium is at least 200 m?1.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2011Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der Wissenschaften E.
