Abstract
Refractive index is a key criterion in the evaluation of optical polymers. The continuous development of new materials for biomedical applications such as optical fibers or lenses raises questions on the fundamental physical limits of this class of materials. Using the Lorenz-Lorentz equations, we have investigated the theoretical refractive index and specific refractive index increments of some copolymers obtained by radical copolymerization of methyl methacrylate or styrene with allyl methacrylate, followed by the hydrosilation of the resulting copolymers with mono hydro-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes, starting from the refractive increments of the functional groups.
