Optically Isotropic, Colorless, and Flexible PITEs/TiO2 and ZrO2 Hybrid Films with Tunable Refractive Index, Abbe Number, and Memory Properties

Abstract A series of novel polyimidothioethers (PITEs) and the respective polymer hybrids of titania or zirconia with fantastic thermal stability and optical properties have been successfully prepared. These colorless PITEs with high transparency were synthesized by Michael polyaddition from commerc...
