Abstract
Poly(CMPV-co-PV) have been synthesized via water soluble sulfonium salt precursor route and their linear and non-linear optical properties were characterized. The electro-optic response was stable up to 100°C when the materials were poled during the elimination. The thermal stability and mechanical strength of PPV and its derivatives, and easy processibility from the precursor polymers suggest a new approach for the molecular design of the 2nd order non-linear optical polymers.
