Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of preparing a polymerizate from a two-component organic composition, the polymerizate having a refractive index of at least 1.6, an Abbe number of at least 33 and an initial Barcol hardness of at least 1. More particularly, the present invention relates to polymerizing certain two-component organic compositions comprising at least one polycyanate reactant having at least two isocyanate and/or isothiocyanate groups, and a polyamine having at least two primary and/or secondary amine groups. The present invention also relates to polymerizates and photochromic articles.
- a number of organic polymeric materials e.g., plastics have been developed as alternatives and replacements for glass in applications such as optical lenses, fiber optics, windows and automotive, nautical and aviation transparencies.
- ⁇ glass' is meant to refer to silica-based inorganic glass.
- These polymeric materials can provide advantages relative to glass, including, shatter resistance, lighter weight for a given application, ease of molding and ease of dying.
- Representative examples of such polymeric materials include, poly (methyl methacrylate), thermoplastic polycarbonate and poly [diethylene glycol bis (allylcarbonate) ] .
- the refractive indices of many polymeric materials are generally lower than that of glass.
- the refractive index of poly [diethylene glycol bis (allylcarbonate) ] is about 1.50, compared to that of high index glass, which can range, for example, from 1.60 to 1.80.
- the degree of correction required is substantial, as in the case of severe myopia, a lens fabricated from a low index polymeric material can be required to be very thick. A very thick lens may negate any benefit resulting from the use of lower density lens materials relative to an equivalent degree of correction obtained from a higher refractive index glass lens.
- thicker optical lenses are not aesthetically desirable.
- polymeric materials having refractive indices greater than 1.50 can be prepared from aromatic monomers and monomers containing halogens and/or sulfur atoms.
- the materials from which lenses, and in particular optical lenses, are fabricated can be categorized by their refractive indices. As those skilled in the art can appreciate, low indices typically include indices of refraction of from less than 1.50 through 1.53; middle indices comprise indices of refraction of from 1.54 through 1.57; and high indices commonly include indices of refraction of 1.58 and greater.
- Lenses prepared from polymeric materials having high refractive indices typically also have lower Abbe numbers (also known as nu-values) . Lower Abbe numbers are indicative of an increasing level of chromatic dispersion, which is typically manifested as an optical distortion at or near the rim of the lens.
- U.S. Patent 5,961,889 to Jiang et al discloses optical polymers, for use in lenses, prepared from a polythiol group- containing component, a polyisocyanate group-containing component and/or a polyfunctional vinyl group-containing component.
- the polymers disclosed typically had refractive indices less than 1.69 and Abbe number less than 35.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,932,681 to Herold et al . discloses an optical polymer, for use as a lens material, prepared from an isocyanate or isothiocyanate and a polythiol.
- the polymers disclosed have a refractive index of at least 1.57 and an Abbe number of at least 33.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,679,756 to Zhu et al discloses an optical polymer described as a thermoplastic thiourethane- urethane copolymer prepared by reacting an aliphatic diisocyanate with a dithiol to form a thiourethane prepolymer, which is then reacted with a diisocyanate and a polyol.
- the polymers disclosed typically had a refractive index between 1.57 and 1.60 and Abbe number between 35 and 38. While the optical polymers discussed above have adequate refractive indices and chromatic dispersion, they do not necessarily have the degree of impact resistance required to be suitable for use as daily wear lenses for eyeglasses.
- polymerizates which can be used to prepare transparent polymerizates, particularly optical lenses that possess a combination of high refractive index and adequately high Abbe number as well as possessing the physical properties, in particular impact resistance, that are at least equivalent to and preferably better than those of lower index polymeric materials.

- a desired resultant color e.g., a substantially neutral color such as shades of gray or brown when activated with unfiltered sunlight, i.e., as near a neutral color as possible given the colors of the activated photochromic substances.
- the relative amounts of the aforesaid photochromic substances used will vary and depend in part upon the relative intensities of the color of the activated species of such compounds, and the ultimate color desired.

- the photochromic substance (s) be resistant to potentially adverse interactions with, for example, initiator (s) that may be present and / or the isocyanate, isothiocyante and amine groups of the first and second components. These adverse interactions can result in deactivation of the photochromic substance (s) , e.g., by trapping them in either an open or closed form.

- Thioglycerol bis (2-mercaptoacetate) is a preferred polythiol monomer of the present invention, in which Ri and R 2 are each methylene with reference to general formula I.
- Thioglycerol bis (2-mercaptoacetate) was prepared from the following ingredients. Ingredient Amount (grams)
- the ingredients of Charge 1 were added to a five liter round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, a thermocouple and heating mantle coupled through a temperature feed-back control device, and a vacuum distillation column. A vacuum of from 5 to 10 millimeters (mm) of Hg was drawn and the reaction mixture was heated to and held at 70°C for a period of 4 to 5 hours while water was collected from the distillation column.
- reaction mixture When no more water was observed to be collected from the distillation column, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and transferred to a six liter round bottom flask equipped with a motor driven stir-blade, a thermocouple and a water cooled jacket. Charge 2 was added to the mixture, which was then stirred for 30 to 45 minutes with an accompanying exotherm of from 10°C to 20°C. Upon cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was left standing to allow the accumulation of an upper ammonia layer, which was removed by suctioning with a pipette. The remaining lower layer was washed three times each with two liters of deionized water. Vacuum stripping of water from the washed layer yielded 1995 grams of thioglycerol bis (2-mercaptoacetate) in the form of a yellowish oil having a refractive index of 1.5825.
- a polyisocyanate was mixed with a polythiol (Example 2) and also with a polyol (Example 3) at 80°C for 2 hours to yield a viscous liquid prepolymer first component.
- the warm prepolymer first component was rapidly stirred and a diamine second component was added thereto. After the mixture stirred for several seconds, the mixture was immediately charged between two flat glass molds. The filled molds were heated to 120°C and maintained at that temperature for 16 hours, yielding a plastic sheet.
- the polyisocyantes used in the examples were ⁇ , ⁇ '-xylene diisocyanante (XDI) and bis (isocyanatocyclohexyl)methane (H-MDI).
- the dithiol and polyols were 2, 2' -thiodiethanethiol (DMDS) and Tone Polyol 32B8 (UC32B8), Tone Polyol obtained from Union Carbide Corporation, Danbury, Connecticut.
- the polyamine second component was diethyltoluenediamine (DETDA) .
- Table 1 Measured physical properties for each example are summarized in Table 2.
- a first component was prepared by mixing 0.6 equivalents of H-MDI with 1 equivalent of DMDS at 90°C for an hour. While stirring, 0.6 equivalents of XDI were added to the first component. The mixture was allowed to stir for an additional 1.5 hours to yield the viscous prepolymer. 0.25 equivalents of DETDA were added to the warm prepolymer. After stirring for several seconds, the resulting mixture was charged between two flat glass molds. The filled molds were heated to 120°C and maintained at that temperature for 16 hours, yielding a plastic sheet.
- the examples demonstrate the excellent high refractive index, high Abbe number and hardness (impact resistance) of the polymerizate of the present invention.
