Description

Technical Field

[0001] Cross-reference to Related Applications This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202110246031.5, filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on March 5, 2021, entitled "Polymer Material and Its Preparation Method, Composition, Optical Component, and Device", the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] This application relates to the field of polymer materials, particularly polymer materials and their preparation methods, compositions and optical components containing the polymer materials, and devices containing the optical components.

Background Art

[0003] Currently, the polymer materials used in the optical field mainly include polycarbonate (PC), polyimide (PI), cycloolefin polymer (cyclic olefin copolymer / cycloolefin polymer, COC / COP), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), poly(ethylene naphthalate) (PEN), polystyrene (PS), modified cellulose, etc. For polymers used in the optical field, the focus is mainly on the light transmittance, refractive index, birefringence, heat resistance, water absorption rate, and other properties of the materials. Conventional materials have advantages and disadvantages regarding the above properties. For example, the PC material has high heat resistance, a high refractive index, and other advantages, and can be used in optical images, polarizers, etc. based on the difference in birefringence performance. However, since polar groups exist in PC, the material has a high water absorption rate. This limits the design of optical devices. The COC material is a pure hydrocarbon polymer, has a very low water absorption rate and high thermal stability, but the refractive index of the material is low. The PS material has a lower water absorption rate and a higher refractive index than the COC material. However, the PS material has a serious birefringence phenomenon and poor thermal stability, and can hardly be used as an optical material. The PS material is mainly used in fields such as structural materials and packaging materials.
