An optimized photochromic dye microenvironment isolated from and dispersed within a distinct host phase.

Dye microenvironment

An ophthalmic lens operable to protect the eye from harmful ultraviolet and high energy visible wavelengths of light and methods for producing the same.

UV and high energy visible absorbing ophthalmic lenses

An easy-cleaning coating, an easy cleaning coating having anti-fogging properties, and an easy-cleaning, anti-reflective coating.

Easy-clean coating

The present invention pertains to polyurethane-urea based optical adhesives for formation of optical film laminates, optically functional film laminates, and ophthalmic or eyeglass lenses employing the same and methods for producing the same.

Optical adhesive and optical laminates and lenses formed with same

Provided are polymer-aerogel composite coatings, devices and articles including polymer-aerogel composite coatings, and methods for preparing the polymer-aerogel composite. The exemplary article can include a surface, wherein the surface includes at least one region and a polymer-aerogel composite coating disposed over the at least one region, wherein the polymer-aerogel composite coating has a water contact angle of at least about 140&#xb0; and a contact angle hysteresis of less than about 1&#xb0;. The polymer-aerogel composite coating can include a polymer and an ultra high water content catalyzed polysilicate aerogel, the polysilicate aerogel including a three dimensional network of silica particles having surface functional groups derivatized with a silylating agent and a plurality of pores.

Durable polymer-aerogel based superhydrophobic coatings: a composite material

Optically clear hydrophobic and superhydrophobic coatings and solutions and methods for preparing them. Branched polysilicate structures having surface hydroxyl groups are formed by at least partially hydrolyzing an alkoxy silane precursor via water and an acid catalyst in a solvent, and catalyzing the hydrolysis product with a base to form a gel. The structures are dispersed to form a colloidal suspension, and then hydrophilic hydroxyl groups on the structures are reacted with a silylating agent and replaced with hydrophobic and/or oleophobic ligands. Additional solvent may be added to form a coating which is optically clear.
