Abstract
Transparent hybrid organic methacrylate capped zirconium oxo-clusters (ZOCs) with thiol-ene monomers. The vinyl capping groups potentially enable the ZOCs to become an integral part of the thiol-ene network. The ZOCs are reasonably soluble in the thiol-ene monomers yielding a loading of 1 wt. -%. The resulting polymer composites were highly transparent in the visible region and exhibited significant enhancement in the refractive indices with measured values ranging from 1. 714 to 1. 744. Moreover, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) revealed that all the composites exhibited good mechanical strength and were robust enough to undergo machining and/or polishing without fracture.
