| Popis: | We report on the preparation of ultrahigh refractive index polymers via the inverse vulcanization of elemental sulfur, selenium, and 1,3-diisopropenylbenzene for use as novel transmissive materials for mid-infrared (IR) imaging applications. Poly(sulfur-random-selenium-random-(1,3-diisopropenylbenzene)) (poly(S-r-Se-r-DIB) terpolymer materials from this process exhibit the highest refractive index of any synthetic polymer (n > 2.0) and excellent IR transparency, which can be directly tuned by terpolymer composition. Sulfur or selenium containing (co)polymers prepared via inverse vulcanization can be described as Chalcogenide Hybrid Inorganic/Organic Polymers (CHIPs) and are polymeric analogues to wholly inorganic Chalcogenide Glasses (ChGs), which are commonly used as transmissive materials in mid-IR imaging. Finally, we demonstrate that CHIPs composed of (poly(S-r-Se-r-DIB) can be melt processed into windows that enabled high quality mid-IR thermal imaging of human subjects and highly resolved imaging of... |
