AbstractReal 3-D sub-νm lithography was performed with two-photon polymerization (2PP) using inorganic-organic hybrid polymer (ORMOCER®) resins. The hybrid polymers were synthesized by hydrolysis/polycondensation reactions (modified sol-gel synthesis) which allows one to tailor their material properties towards the respective applications, i.e., dielectrics, optics or passivation. Due to their photosensitive organic functionalities, ORMOCER®s can be patterned by conventional photo-lithography as well as by femtosecond laser pulses at 780 nm. This results in polymerized (solid) structures where the non-polymerized parts can be removed by conventional developers.ORMOCER® structures as small as 200 nm or even below were generated by 2PP of the resins using femtosecond laser pulses. It is demonstrated that ORMOCER®s have the potential to be used in components or devices built up by nm-scale structures such as, e.g., photonic crystals. Aspects of the materials in conjunction to the applied technology are discussed.

Removal of malachite green from water bodies is an environmental concern of utmost priority. It requires adsorbents that can efficiently operate under real conditions. In view of this, a new polyacrylic acid based nano-hybrid polymer was synthesized by using sol-gel method in which acrylic acid acts as an organic part and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as an inorganic component. The new series of two other nano-hybrid polymers were also synthesized by using nanoparticles of iron oxide and titanium dioxide. The synthesized nano-hybrid polymers were extensively characterized using FTIR and XRD spectroscopic techniques. Further the synthesized nano-hybrid polymers were subjected to swelling studies with respect to different parameter such as time, temperature and pH. Malachite green was used as a cationic dye for studying the uptake behavior of synthesized polymers. Maximum retention capacity (MRC) and reusability of hybrid polymers were also evaluated up to ten cycles. The hybrid polymer, poly(AAc)/TEOS was more effective with high dye retention capacity.

AbstractPhotosensitive organic-inorganic hybrid polymers were synthesised for integrated optical and optoelectronic devices by a non-hydrous sol-gel process of hydrolysis/condensation of 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS), diphenyldimethoxysilane (DPhDMS), and zirconium isopropoxide (TPZ) with boric acid under anhydrous conditions. The methacryl groups of MPS are UVpolymerizable, which are suitable for low cost fabrication of waveguides with a “UV write/develop” process. The incorporation of DPhDMS and TPZ was found useful in reducing the optical loss and in enhancing the thermostability of the polymer. The refractive index of the hybrid polymer is tuneable from 1.4950 to 1.5360 by variation of the ratio among MPS, DPhDMS and TPZ. Optical characterisation showed that the material has low optical losses at the telecommunications windows (0.16 dB/cm at 1310 nm and 0.4 dB/cm at 1550nm). The hybrid polymer also showed a low birefringence (1.2×10-4), a large thermo-optic (TO) coefficient (-2.77 ×10-4), and an outstanding linearity of dn/dT in a wide range of temperature (from 25 °C to 200 °C). Waveguides forming ability for the hybrid polymer with UV imprinting was also demonstrated.
