Abstract

Novel functional hyperbranched poly(aryl ether ketone)s (HPAEKs) bonded with nonlinear optical chromophores (meso-tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl) porphyrin, THPP and its metal derivatives) were synthesized and characterized by 1H-NMR and UV-Vis absorption spectra. The incorporation of chromophores into HPAEKs endowed HPAEKs novel NLO and OL properties. Indeed, dendritic architecture allowed for maximum dispersion of the chromophores, avoided aggregation, more optical limiting property was obtained. Simultaneously, they retained the excellent properties of the materials, particularly in thermal stability. Their optical properties were evaluated by nonlinear optical analyses and optical limiting. The results showed that these polymers possessed good optical limiting (OL) property and large nonlinear optical (NLO) susceptibilities (ca. 10−12 esu). All polymers containing chromophores presented excellent thermal stability (DT 5 > 524.17 °C).
