Abstract

This article covers the most commercially important type of photochromic dye. It outlines which of its subclasses are of most use and how they are manufactured. The history of the industrial exploitation of this kind of colorant is briefly given before illustrating its versatility with examples of the most useful ways in which photochromic properties can be manipulated by making adjustments to molecular structure.
