The present invention aims to provide a photochromic compound capable of exhibiting photochromic properties regardless of matrix, and the compound is stably dispersed without aggregation in a process of molding (curing) an optical base material. According to the present invention, a polymer photochromic compound, which has a block polymeric group of an oligomeric chain group having relatively favorable compatibility with a solid matrix and an oligomeric chain group having poor compatibility with a solid matrix, forms a nano- to micro-phase separation structure in a solid matrix. The compound does not rely on the solid matrix, its dispersibility is improved and aggregation is prevented or reduced, whereby excellent photochromic properties can be exhibited.

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for reducing the antigenicity of molecules. The antigenicity of a molecule may be reduced or eliminated by conjugating at least one branched polymer to the molecule to form a molecule-polymer conjugate. The branched polymer may include a backbone and a plurality of side chains, each side chain covalently attached to the backbone.
