Polymer hybrid materials for novel embossing processes for the production of microoptical foils (A01)

• Subject Area: Preparatory and Physical Chemistry of Polymers
• Term: from 2013 to 2017
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 210420491

Project A01 will develop and synthesize new polymer-based materials with tailored optical and thermomechanical properties. Key target of the materials development is the generation of stable large-area microstructured polymer foils. To this end, novel UV or thermally-curable monomers as well as cross-linkable polymers generated by C, H-Insertion will be studied with the goal of the synthesis of new functional polymer based foils. The aspired active optical (luminescent or lasing) and thermomechanical properties will be adjusted by a tailored chemical synthesis which will enable the formation of all-organic sensors and light sources directly in the polymer foil.
