Organic second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have been steadily studied for their potential applications in high-speed and broadband information technologies. High-performance NLO polymers were recently demonstrated by a facile and reliable Diels-Alder “click” reaction for postfunctionalization and lattice hardening to improve NLO properties and thermal stability. Microwave-assisted chemical processes including Diels-Alder reaction for organic and polymer syntheses are useful tools for high yields, short reaction time, and accelerating polymerization given to high molecular weight. Here we have utilized microwave-assisted Diels-Alder reaction for NLO polymers to improve their thermal and mechanical strength. We have also investigated their optical and NLO properties dependant on various conditions of the microwave-assisted reaction such as a kind of solvents, power, temperature, and time. |
