Granqvist in materials science for solar energy conversion systems 1991.
The core glass being more viscous at forming temperatures than that of the photochromic skin glass provides a support for the photochromic skin glass during the formation of the laminated sheet and accordingly the photochromic glass p may be sensitized on the draw immediately after the supporting laminated sheet s is formed by subjecting the.
The phenomenon is well known both in glasses 24 25 and other materials.
The uv creates a vivid change from clear to a coloured plastic.
In the absence of activating light the lenses return to their clear state.
A photochromic material is characterized by its optical properties being able to change reversibly upon irradiation.
A photochromic lens is an optical lens that darkens on exposure to light of sufficiently high frequency most commonly ultraviolet uv radiation.
