Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to copolymers, particularly to copolymers comprising a photoactive unit, the copolymers being particularly suitable for ophthalmic devices. The copolymers include one or more different polymer units in addition to the photoactive unit, such as polymerized units derived from ethylene, propylene, an acrylate, a methacrylate, or a styrene.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A copolymer comprising: one or more polymer units M 1 selected from units of the following formulae (P-1) to (P-63); and one or more different polymer units: wherein, each * in the formulae indicates a linkage to an adjacent unit of the copolymer, and n indicates the number of units of the formula. 2. A copolymer according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more different polymer units in the copolymer comprise at least one unit M 2 , which at each occurrence is independently selected from the group consisting of a polymerized unit derived from ethylene, propylene, an acrylate, a methacrylate and a styrene. 3. A copolymer according to claim 2 , wherein the copolymer comprises units M 1 and M 2 in a ratio m 1 :m 2 of from 0.01 to 100. 4. A copolymer according to claim 1 , wherein one or more polymer units M 1 and/or one or more different polymer units in the copolymer are crosslinked with each other.
