Abstract

The terahertz optical properties of composites with poly vinyl chloride (PVC) nanofibers and polypropylene (PP) were investigated. To evaluate the influence of PVC content, we measured the composites under conditions where the content of PVC nanofibers was controlled. We found that the refractive indices increase with the decrease of PVC nanofiber content. We also found that highly aligned PVC nanofibers bring birefringence to the composites. The proposed PVC-PP composites are promising materials for terahertz optics.
