Abstract
Principally novel crosslinking nonlinear optical and optoelectronics system based on Diels–Alder reaction was designed. The copolymer of methyl methacrylate and anthracen-9-ylmethyl methacrylate (PMMA-AMA) was used as a host polymer; chromophore ETO was used as guest chromophore; chromophore ETO and N,N-(methylenediphenyl)bismaleimide were used as crosslinker. The thermodynamic property of crosslinking system studied by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) showed us that the glass transition temperature was about 65 °C and the crosslinking temperature was varied between 80 and 120 °C The crosslinking reactive speed and effectiveness were studied by ultraviolet absorption and infrared absorption spectroscopy with spectral resoluiotn 1 cm−1. These results have indicated that the cross linking process could be finished at 110 °C for 20 min. Surprisingly, such EO polymer showed us a large EO coefficient of about 96.3 pm/V at wavelength 1 µm and excellent long term stability about 85% with respect to its initial value and can be kept after 250 h of heating at 80 °C.
