An approach of high refractive index and highly transparent polymer nanocomposite fabrication

摘要

In order to prepare a high refractive index as well as a highly transparent polymer nanohybrid composite, a high refractive index per-naphthalene polymer was designed and synthesized successfully. We developed an effective and versatile wet-annealing process for further increasing the RI of the nanohybrid composites. By the indispensable steps, we achieved the highest RI of n (594 nm) ≈ 2 and highly transparent (transmittance ≈ 93% at 460nm) polymer nanohybrid composite.
