Abstract

Procedure was developed for surface dyeing of polycarbonate glass with photochromic thermally relaxing compounds from the classes of spiropyrans, spirooxazines, and chromenes via diffusion of photochromic molecules from solutions in cyclohexanone. It was shown that the highest diffusion efficiency of photochromic compounds without loss of the optical surface quality of polycarbonate glass is reached at a temperature of 80°C. Samples of photochromic polycarbonate glasses were obtained and their photochromic properties were studied.
