Polymers exhibit many unique properties which open up numerous technological opportunities in the fields of optics and electrooptics. They combine the possibility of easy processing with an infinite potential for functionalization. They can thus be ferroelectrics, conductors or semiconductors, mesomorphous and can exhibit photoconductivity, piezo or pyroelectricity or nonlinear optical properties. These polymers give rise to a tremendous number of potential applications such as optical data recording, optical communications, displays... |
