S. Yilmaz et al., DIELECTRIC, PYROELECTRIC, AND ELECTROOPTIC MONITORING OF THE CROSS-LINKING PROCESS AND PHOTOINDUCED POLING OF RED-ACID-MAGLY, Applied physics letters, 70(5), 1997, pp. 568-570
Crosslinking of polymers with dipoles can be followed by means of diel
ectric, pyroelectric, and in situ electro-optic measurements: All thre
e techniques provide similar insights as to the cross-linking process.
In addition, electro-optic measurements allow for the determination o
f the resulting optical nonlinearity. After crosslinking is completed
the polymer behaves like a side-chain polymer. In addition, photoinduc
ed poling of an already cross-linked dipolar polymer network is demons
trated. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
