In this study, a fast curable polysiloxane-silphenylene hybrimer (PSH) was synthesized by the nonhydrolytic sol–gel condensation of phenyl-vinyl-oligosiloxane (PVO) and tris(dimethylhydrosilyl)benzene (TDMSB) under a Pt catalyst to investigate its optical property and thermal stability. The combination of PVO and tripod-type TDMSB results in a hybrimer with a fast curing time of 30 min. The PSH exhibited a high refractive index of 1.60, 1.59, and 1.58 at 450, 520, and 635 nm, respectively. High transmittance of 97% at 450 nm was obtained. The PSH exhibited a very high transmittance of 97% before thermal aging. The high optical transmittance of the PSH was only slightly decreased by 0.5% of the transmittance at 180 °C for 72 h after thermal aging, and high transparency was maintained almost constant even after 72 h of high-temperature treatment.

This work describes the production of nanocrystalline TiO2 and SnO2 oxides, as well as their nanocomposites (containing 26.9, 58.7 and 79.0wt.% of SnO2) with two-stage sol-gel method combined with high temperature treatment. The phase composition and medium size crystallites were determined using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and revealed that the nanocomposites crystallize in tetragonal structures of TiO2 - anatase and SnO2 - cassiterite. Specific surface area of the nanopowders, measured using sorption method (BET), changed from 42.1 to 160.8m2/g. The morphology of the nanopowders was observed using transmission electron microscope (TEM). As indicated by TEM images, the manufactured nanopowders were well crystallized and consisted of small, spherical grains. The obtained nanopowders were also tested for NH3 gas detection application. The presented method of nanopowders synthesis enables to obtain nanocrystalline TiO2 and SnO2 oxides, as well as composites from TiO2-SnO2 of known and controlled chemical and phase composition. It also enables to obtain composites used for gas sensors. The sensor made of composite containing 58.7wt.% of SnO2 exhibited the best NH3 sensing features.

AbstractPlastics produced from the sulfur-based monomer are excellent materials with many optical applications such as ophthalmic lenses, fiber optics and non- linear optics. High refractive index plastic materials are able to reduce the curvature, edge and center thickness of lenses. Sulfur containing plastics such as sulfide, polysulfide, and sulfur containing vinyl compound, thioacrylate, polythiol and isocyanate/isothiocyanate based monomers have demonstrated high refractive index, high Abbe number, good impact strength, excellent machinability, good tintability and good transmittance. In the present article, various sulfur containing plastics with different types of monomers for ophthalmic lens applications are reviewed.
