The present invention relates to, a curable photochromic composition that includes: (a) a photochromic compound; (b) a hydrazide functional material having at least two hydrazide groups that are reactive with carbonyl groups selected from ketone groups and aldehyde groups; (c) a first carbonyl-functional component including a (meth)acrylate polymer having at least two carbonyl groups that are reactive with hydrazide groups; and (d) at least one of, (d1) a second carbonyl-functional component having at least one carbonyl group that is reactive with hydrazide groups, and/or (d2) a non-reactive component. The non-reactive component is free of functional groups that are reactive with the hydrazide functional material, the first carbonyl-functional component, and the second carbonyl-functional component. The present invention also relates to an article that includes: a substrate; and a photochromic layer over at least one surface of the substrate, where the photochromic layer is formed from the curable photochromic composition of the present invention.
A curable photochromic composition comprising:
