Abstract

Materials with a high index of refraction can find a broad range of applications, including light-emitting diodes (LEDs), CMOS sensors, large-area displays, eyeglasses, and optical elements for virtual and augmented reality. We demonstrate the development of two classes of materials: purely organic polymers and nanocomposites with a high refractive index (n up to 2.00) for thin-film applications. The synthesized polymers show high transparency in the visible wavelength. They are among the materials with the highest refractive index ever reported. The developed polymers can be nanopatterned via nanoimprint lithography following a scalable and straightforward process.
