Overview

Randomized trial explores new polymers for optical lenses, suggesting better clarity and performance.

Key Points

  • The aim is to develop high refractive index polymers with superior optical properties for lens applications.
  • Synthesized four sulfur-containing monomers including cyclic dithiocarbonate and norbornene.
  • Prepared poly(meth)acrylates through radical polymerization of these monomers.
  • Characterized polymers for thermal and optical properties, including transparency and refractive index.
  • Polymers exhibited a refractive index between 1.592 and 1.640 at 589 nm.
  • All polymer films showed good transparency in the visible spectrum (400–800 nm).
  • Glass transition temperatures varied from 44 °C to 109 °C, with degradation temperatures around 290 °C.
