THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPARENT, PROCESSABLE, THERMALLY-RESPONSIVE COATINGS

Polymer matrices are commonly used as guest-host systems for organic chromophores for use in non-linear optical materials. The chromophores must be aligned or poled in an electric field in order to impart anisotropy and non-linear activity to the material. This poling process raises several issues,...
