Aky. Jen et al., THERMALLY STABLE NONLINEAR-OPTICAL POLYIMIDES - SYNTHESIS AND ELECTROOPTIC PROPERTIES, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (8), 1994, pp. 965-966
A facile synthetic method has been developed to incorporate efficient
nonlinear optical chromophores as side-chains into high temperature po
lyimides resulting in high electro-optic activity and long-term therma
l stability at 90 degrees C for over one month.
