Abstract

Drawing on the success of the DH6-polycarbonate system, new derivatives based on the DH bridge structure, bis-1,2-(dibutoxythiophene)vinylene have been synthesized and tested. The property-structure function has been investigated, showing that location of the trifluorovinylether (TFVE) crosslinker on the chromophore has an impact on electro-optic (EO) activity as well as stability. A crosslinked polymer, IMOH_PCT-R and a linear high glass transition (T_g) analog, IMOH_HT, in combination with various DH derivatives are discussed. The temporal stability data of these systems show comparable results for both crosslinked and linear polymers, furthering the argument that the T_g of the EO material is the critical parameter in determining device lifetime.
