The electro-optic response of poly(CMPV-co-PV) is demonstrated to be s
table up to 100-degrees-C when the polymers were poled during the elim
ination. The thermal stability and mechanical strength of PPV and its
derivatives, and easy processibility from the precursor polymers sugge
st a new approach to the molecular design of the poled electro-optic p
olymers.
