High Index Optical Materials Prepared by Copolymerization of Novel Bifunctional Thiomethacrylates

Optical materials, such as ophthalmic lens, are thermosetting resins, which require crosslinking agents. An optical resin, having a high refractive index, is usually produced by radical copolymerization in which high index crosslinking monomers are significantly important. We provide here the resins prepared by radical polymerization of novel bifunctional thiomethacrylates as high index crosslinkers.
