Functional polymer materials for optical applications Vrije Universiteit Brussel
One of the main limitations of the current generation of optical materials is the limited flexibility and stretch-ability. In the present paper, we therefore report on the development of a series of polymethacrylates in which the glass transition temperature was varied to obtain materials with enhanced flexibility. The monomers were selected in such a way that they are compatible with the materials often applied for waveguide production and ...
