Abstract

Due to the simple preparation technology and appropriate crosslinking process, polyurethane was selected as the host polymer for the preparation of organic electro-optics (EO) materials. The synthesis and crosslinking process of polyurethane demanded the nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophore possessing strong stability in acid environment. Fortunately, after the introduction of azo group in the electronic bridge, the stability of this kind of chromophores in acidic environment was improved greatly. Polyurethane EO polymers and EO films based on this kind of chromophore were prepared successfully. The crosslinking process was monitored by infrared spectroscopy clearly. The crosslinking process has direct relationship with the molecular weight of the crosslinkers. Crosslinker of triethanolamine with small molecular weight showed low crosslinking temperature (80 °C) and short crosslinking time (20 min). The crosslinking temperature and time was improved to 140 °C and 60 min based on Poly(bisphenol A glycidyl ether aniline) (BPAN) crosslinker with large molecular weight. More importantly, this kind of EO polymers showed us large second order nonlinear optical coefficients (76.1 pm/V) and good long term stability (130 °C).
