Abstract
Describes a polymerizable organic composition comprising an aromatic monomer having at least two vinyl groups, e.g., divinyl benzene, a polythiol monomer having at least two thiol groups, e.g., pentaerythritol tetrakis(2-mercaptoacetate), and an anhydride monomer having at least one ethylenically unsaturated group, e.g., methacrylic anhydride. Polymerizable compositions according to the present invention, may optionally further comprise a polymerizable comonomer having at least two (meth)acryloyl groups, e.g., pentaerythritol tetrakis (acrylate). Polymerizates prepared from polymerizable organic compositions of the present invention have a refractive index of at least 1.57 and an Abbe number of at least 33. Also described are photochromic articles prepared from such compositions.
