The invention discloses a preparation method of an ultralow-refractive-index and high-transparency cycloolefin
copolymer, and belongs to the technical field of
polymer preparation, the method comprises the following steps: in the presence of a
Grubbs catalyst and an
organic solvent, carrying out ring-opening metathesis
polymerization reaction on a cycloolefin
monomer and a
fluorine-containing cycloolefin
monomer to obtain the ultralow-refractive-index and high-transparency cycloolefin
copolymer. The unsaturated
fluorine-containing cycloolefin
copolymer is prepared; and carrying out
hydrogenation reaction on the unsaturated
fluorine-containing cycloolefin copolymer and a
hydrogen source to obtain the fluorine-containing cycloolefin copolymer. The fluorine-containing cycloolefin copolymer prepared by the method disclosed by the invention has the excellent properties of ultralow
refractive index, high transparency, high
thermal stability, excellent
mechanical property, amorphous form and the like, and the
refractive index is adjustable in a range of 1.37-1.47; the ultralow
refractive index is far lower than that of the conventional typical organic low-refractive-index commercial material PMMA (the refractive index is 1.49). Therefore, the fluorine-containing cycloolefin copolymer prepared by the method can be widely applied to the
optical field, such as low-refractive-index optical lenses (AR and VR glasses), anti-reflection coatings and the like.
