PDMS has become a frequently used material in the elaboration of optical components such as: variable focal length liquid lenses, optical waveguides, solid elastic lenses, etc. In this work we describe the elaboration of PDMS samples, and we present the physical and optical properties of the material when a variation on its synthesis parameters (mixture ratio of base: curing agent, curing temperature and curing time) is implemented during their elaboration. Tensile and compressive tests were carried out to obtain the corresponding stress-strain curves of the material, and UV-Vis spectroscopy was applied to obtain transmittance and absorbance curves of the samples. A variation of the refractive index of the samples was observed and homogeneity of the samples was studied with the Raman spectra obtained from the samples. Results of the characterization determined the appropriate synthesis parameters for the elaboration of a tunable refractive surface for potential applications in artificial vision. |
